In the present work, single- and segregated-network PINN architectures are applied to predict momentum, species and temperature distributions of a dry air humidification problem in a simple 2D rectangular domain. The created PINN models…
Phytoparasitic nematodes (or phytonematodes) are causing severe damage to crops and generating large-scale economic losses worldwide. In soybean crops, annual losses are estimated at 10.6% of world production. Besides, identifying these…
Even as the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile Virus (WNV) in North America has risen over the past decade, effectively modelling mosquito population density or, the abundance has proven to be a persistent challenge. It is…
The soybean aphid (\emph{Aphis glycines}) is an invasive insect pest that continues to cause large-scale damage to soybean crops in the North Central United States. The current manuscript proposes several mathematical models for the…
Honey bee colony losses threaten global pollination services, yet current monitoring systems treat each hive as an isolated unit, ignoring the spatial pathways through which diseases spread across apiaries. This paper introduces the…
Compartmental models provide simple and efficient tools to analyze the relevant transmission processes during an outbreak, to produce short-term forecasts or transmission scenarios, and to assess the impact of vaccination campaigns.…
Insects are the most important global pollinator of crops and play a key role in maintaining the sustainability of natural ecosystems. Insect pollination monitoring and management are therefore essential for improving crop production and…
Pest infestation is a major cause of crop damage and lost revenues worldwide. Automatic identification of invasive insects would greatly speedup the identification of pests and expedite their removal. In this paper, we generate ensembles of…
