The expected number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual during
its entire period of infectiousness in a completely susceptible population is mathematically …

The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to the mathematical theory of infinite dimensional
dynamical systems by focusing on a relatively simple, yet rich, class of examples, that …

Physiological processes within individuals and behaviour patterns displayed by individuals
rank high among the subject matters of biology. The catch, handling and digestion of a prey …

The basic reproduction number ℛ 0 is arguably the most important quantity in infectious
disease epidemiology. The next-generation matrix (NGM) is the natural basis for the definition …

We demonstrate the direct involvement of increased collagenase activity in the cleavage of
type II collagen in osteoarthritic human femoral condylar cartilage by developing and using …

Mathematical modeling is critical to our understanding of how infectious diseases spread at
the individual and population levels. This book gives readers the necessary skills to correctly …

Concentrating on monomorphic populations in demographic steady state, we give three
different conditions under which the evolutionarily stable life-history strategy can be …

In this paper, the dependence of transmission on the total population size is studied, assuming
that the relevant contacts between individuals occur by random encounters, ie by mass-…
