The oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as a four-electron transfer process with large
overpotential loss that is also kinetically sluggish, is one of the most crucial electrochemical …

The science of networks has revolutionised research into the dynamics of interacting
elements. It could be argued that epidemiology in particular has embraced the potential of …

The basic reproduction number is one of the conceptual cornerstones of mathematical
epidemiology. Its classical definition as the number of secondary cases generated by a …

Abstract Development of strategies for mitigating the severity of a new influenza pandemic is
now a top global public health priority. Influenza prevention and containment strategies can …

Highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A viruses are now endemic in avian populations in
Southeast Asia, and human cases continue to accumulate. Although currently incapable of …

Changes in redox status have been observed during immune responses in different
organisms, but the associated signaling mechanisms are poorly understood. In plants, these …

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (subtype H5N1) is threatening to cause a human
pandemic of potentially devastating proportions. We used a stochastic influenza simulation …

The threat posed by the highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus requires public health
authorities to prepare for a human pandemic. Although pre-pandemic vaccines and antiviral …

Targeted social distancing to mitigate pandemic influenza can be designed through
simulation of influenza's spread within local community social contact networks. We …

Reproduction numbers, defined as averages of the number of people infected by a typical
case, play a central role in tracking infectious disease outbreaks. The aim of this paper is to …
