Developing allometric models to predict the individual aboveground biomass of shrubs worldwide
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-07)
Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and shrublands, characterized by multistemmed ...
A computational model to predict the population dynamics of Spodoptera frugiperda
(2019-03-15)
Among lepidopteran insects, the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, deserves special attention because of its agricultural importance. Different computational approaches have been proposed to clarify the dynamics of fall ...
Building matrix population models when individuals are non-identifiable
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-01)
Matrix Population Models (MPM) are among the most widely used tools in ecology and evolution. These models consider the life cycle of an individual as composed by states to construct a matrix containing the likelihood of ...
Developing a framework for modeling and simulating aedes aegypti and dengue fever dynamics
(2013-01-01)
Dengue fever is a challenging complex transmissible disease due to its unstable temporal and spatial dynamics. Modeling is a powerful tool to understand disease dynamics and to evaluate costs, benefits and effectiveness ...
Linking individual natural history to population outcomes in tuberculosis
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Background. Substantial individual heterogeneity exists in the clinical manifestations and duration of active tuberculosis. We sought to link the individual-level characteristics of tuberculosis disease to observed ...
Developing a framework for modeling and simulating aedes aegypti and dengue fever dynamics
(National Institute for Space Research, INPE, 2013)
Dengue fever is a challenging complex transmissible disease due to its unstable temporal and spatial dynamics. Modeling is a powerful tool to understand disease dynamics and to evaluate costs, benefits and effectiveness ...
The determinants of subjective well-being in a developing country: the ecuadorian case
(2020)
The Author(s). In this study, we identify some individual and contextual factors potentially affecting subjective well-being in developing countries and check their effect in the Ecuadorian case. Ecuador is an oil country ...
A particle-linkage model for elongated asteroids with three-dimensional mass distribution
(Oxford Univ Press, 2021-04-01)
The goal of this paper is to develop a simplified model to describe the gravitational fields of elongated asteroids. The proposed model consists of representing an elongated asteroid using a triple-particle-linkage system ...
