: a proposed framework for using topic maps to manage information in blood donation units.
With a reaction-diffusion system, we consider the dispersing two-species Lotka-Volterra model with a temporally periodic interruption of the interspecific competitive relationship. We assume that the competition coefficient becomes a given positive constant and zero by turns periodically in time. We investigate the condition for the coexistence of two competing species in space, especially in the bistable case for the population dynamics without dispersion. We could find that the spatial coexistence,...
Some dynamical systems are characterized by more than one time-scale, e.g. two well separated time-scales are typical for quasiperiodic systems. The aim of this paper is to show how singular perturbation methods based on the slow-fast decomposition can serve for an enhanced parameter estimation when the slowly changing features are rigorously treated. Although the ultimate goal is to reduce the standard error for the estimated parameters, here we test two methods for numerical approximations of...
Although age-related heterogeneity of infection has been addressed in various epidemic models assuming a demographically stationary population, only a few studies have explicitly dealt with age-specific patterns of transmission in growing or decreasing population. To discuss the threshold principle realistically, the present study investigates an age-duration-structured SIR epidemic model assuming a stable host population, as the first scheme to account for the non-stationality of the host population....
Sufficient conditions for the existence of a topological conjugacy between a cascade obtained from a weakly nonlinear flow by fixing the time step and a cascade obtained by the Euler method are analysed. The aim of this paper is to provide relations between constants in the Fečkan theorem. Given such relations an implementation of a weakly nonlinear neuron is possible.
A competition-diffusion system, where populations of healthy and malignant cells compete and move on a neutral matrix, is analyzed. A coupled system of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations is derived through a scaling procedure from the microscopic, Markovian dynamics. The healthy cells move much slower than the malignant ones, such that no diffusion for their density survives in the limit. The malignant cells may locally accumulate, while for the healthy ones an exclusion rule is considered....
