Initially, we established the positivity and boundedness of the solutions to ensure realistic predictions. To assess the epidemiological relevance of the system, an examination is conducted to ascertain the local stability of the endemic equilibrium and the global stability across two equilibrium points are carried out. The global stability of the system is demonstrated using Lyapunov’s direct method. The disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number (BRN) is less than one, whereas the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when BRN is greater than one. A sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the influential factors in the BRN. The impact of various time-dependent strategies for managing and regulating the dynamic transmission of COVID-19 is investigated. In this study, Pontryagin’s maximum principle for optimal control analysis is used to identify the most effective strategy for controlling the disease, including single, coupled, and threefold interventions. Single-control interventions reveal physical distancing as the most effective strategy, coupled measures reduce exposed populations, and implementing all controls reduces susceptibility and infections.","PeriodicalId":34018,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Biophysics","volume":"108 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel system is proposed for effective control that leverages natural enemies. Here, the pests are classified into juveniles and mature individuals, further categorized as susceptible or infected. The study introduces harvesting, incorporating external efforts and natural phenomena, in a pest-epidemic prey–predator system featuring a prey-stage structure. The model reveals three equilibria: trivial, boundary (indicating the absence of natural enemies), and interior equilibria. Notably, the trivial equilibrium is consistently unstable. As demonstrated by stability analysis, the survival or extinction of natural enemies hinges on control variables, including the harvesting rate, disease transmission rate, and natural death rate. Local stability is assessed using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, while global stability is explored through the Lyapunov method. Furthermore, optimal control theory and Pontryagin’s maximum principle are applied for model optimization, unveiling crucial optimality conditions and determining the optimal harvesting rate for susceptible mature prey. Numerical computations validate theoretical insights, offering valuable guidance for formulating policies that optimize the control of susceptible adult pests within a disease-induced pest-natural enemy system, ensuring sustained cost-effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":34018,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Biophysics","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140521828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model has been constructed accounting for varying blood characteristics as it flows through arteries with variable vascular properties, and it is applied to simulate blood flow in the femoral and its continued artery. For this purpose, we designed a pipeline model consisting of three components to include the major segments of the femoral artery: CFA, the common femoral artery and SFA, the superficial artery, and its continued one, the popliteal artery (PA). A notable point of this study is that the features and target variables of the former component pipe form the set of features of the latter, thus resulting in multicollinearity among the features in the third component pipe. Thus, we worked on understanding the effect of these correlated features on the target variables using regularized linear regression models, ensemble, and boosting algorithms. This study highlighted the blood velocity in CFA as the primary influential factor for wall shear stress in both CFA and SFA. Additionally, it established the blood rheology in PA as a significant factor for the same in it.

This personal protection further can be enhanced and explored by propagating information about disease prevalence. Therefore, in this study, we wish to see the effect of information on Zika transmission by formulating a compartmental mathematical model that quantifies the effect of an individual’s behavioral response as self-protection due to information. Furthermore, the basic reproduction number was calculated using the next-generation matrix technique. The model analysis was carried out to determine the local and global stability properties of equilibrium points. In addition, the model shows the occurrence of forward bifurcation when the reproduction number crosses unity. To understand the impact of various model parameters, we conducted a sensitivity analysis using both the normalized sensitivity index and the partial rank correlation coefficient methods. Moreover, we performed numerical simulations to assess the influence of important parameters on the model’s behavior for Zika prevalence. Our study accentuates that as information-induced self-protection increases, the prevalence of Zika infection will be at a very minimum level, and this observation is in line with WHO suggestions.","PeriodicalId":34018,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Biophysics","volume":"26 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140519124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In modeling the dynamics, the total population is divided into five subclasses: susceptible population, asymptomatic infective population, symptomatic infective population, recovered population, and vaccinated population. It is assumed that the disease is transmitted directly from infectives. It is further assumed that due to the effect of media, susceptible individuals become aware about the disease and avoid contact with the infectives. The analysis of the model is performed using the stability theory of differential equations. Furthermore, conditions that influence the persistence of the system are obtained. We have also conducted numerical simulations to validate the analytical results. The model analysis shows that with an increase in media awareness, the spread of coronavirus disease decreases with a decrease in the number of infective populations.","PeriodicalId":34018,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Biophysics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140525962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
