The Role of Isolation and Vector Control in the Prevention of Dengue: A Case Study of 2014 Dengue Outbreak in Singapore
Isolation and quarantine play important role to control dengue outbreak but much attention has not yet been paid to develop dengue models with these...

Geometrically nonlinear inerter for vibration suppression
A two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) vibration isolation structure with an integrated geometric nonlinear inerter (NI) device is proposed. The device is...

Modelling the impact of plasma therapy and immunotherapy for recovery of COVID-19 infected individuals
Since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019, COVID-19 has become a pandemic causing a global economic and public...

Incentives, lockdown, and testing: from Thucydides’ analysis to the COVID-19 pandemic
In this work, we provide a general mathematical formalism to study the optimal control of an epidemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, via incentives...

Aposematic signalling in prey-predator systems: determining evolutionary stability when prey populations consist of a single species
Aposematism is the signalling of a defence for the deterrence of predators. We presently focus on aposematic organisms that exhibit chemical...
