Molecular communication often involves coexisting links where certain links may have priority over others. In this work, we consider a system in three-dimensional (3-D) space with two coexisting communication links, each between a point…
This technical report describes a dynamic causal model of the spread of coronavirus through a population. The model is based upon ensemble or population dynamics that generate outcomes, like new cases and deaths over time. The purpose of…
Transmission models for infectious diseases are typically formulated in terms of dynamics between individuals or groups with processes such as disease progression or recovery for each individual captured phenomenologically, without…
By now it is well-understood that the usage of facemasks provides protection from transmission of viral loads through exhalation and inhalation of respiratory droplets. Therefore, during the current Covid-19 pandemic the usage of face masks…
Diffusive molecular communication (DMC) is one of the most promising approaches for realizing nano-scale communications in biological environments for healthcare applications. In this paper, a DMC system in biological cylindrical…
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by viral infections each year, and yet, several of them neither have vaccines nor effective treatment during and post-infection. This challenge has been highlighted by the COVID-19…
Pulmonary drug delivery systems rely on inhalation of drug-laden aerosols produced from aerosol generators such as inhalers, nebulizers etc. On deposition, the drug molecules diffuse in the mucus layer and are also subjected to mucociliary…
Spatio-temporal extensions of familiar compartment models for disease transmission incorporating diffusive behavior, or interactions between individuals at separate locations, are explored. The models considered have the character of…
The macroscopic behavior of the solution of a coupled system of partial differential equations arising in the modeling of reaction-diffusion processes in periodic porous media is analyzed. Our mathematical model can be used for studying…
The design of biologically-inspired wireless communication systems using bacteria as the basic element of the system is initially motivated by a phenomenon called \emph{Quorum Sensing}. Due to high randomness in the individual behavior of a…
In this paper, a novel fluid dynamics-based approach to channel modeling, which considers liquid droplets as information carriers instead of molecules in the molecular communication (MC) channel, is proposed for practical macroscale MC…
Traditional face masks used extensively, for example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, are relatively impermeable, forcing aerosol-containing breath to flow into the surrounding atmosphere by ``leaking" out from the lateral edges of the mask.…
In the case of airborne diseases, pathogen copies are transmitted by droplets of respiratory tract fluid that are exhaled by the infectious and, after partial or full drying, inhaled as aerosols by the susceptible. The risk of infection in…
At the front lines of the world's response to the COVID-19 pandemic are hero-clinicians facing a lack of critical supplies including protective medical grade breathing masks and filtering materials. At the same time, the general public is…
With the exponential growth in the world population and the constant increase in human mobility, the danger of outbreaks of epidemics is rising. Especially in high density urban areas such as public transport and transfer points, where…
In this work we propose a novel space-dependent multiscale model for the spread of infectious diseases in a two-dimensional spatial context on realistic geographical scenarios. The model couples a system of kinetic transport equations…
Molecular communication (MC) is a communication paradigm in which information is conveyed through the controlled release, propagation, and reception of molecules. Many envisioned healthcare applications of MC are expected to operate inside…
Researchers have been battling with the question of how we can identify Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases efficiently, affordably and at scale. Recent work has shown how audio based approaches, which collect respiratory audio data…
This paper deals with the micro-macro derivation of virus models coupled with a reaction diffusion models that generates the dynamics in space of the virus particles. The first part of the presentation focuses, starting from [5, 6] on a…
Molecular communication is a novel approach for data transmission between miniaturized devices, especially in contexts where electrical signals are to be avoided. The communication is based on sending molecules (or other particles) at nano…
