Mathematical modeling of cholera epidemics in South Sudan
Carla Sciarra, Andrea Rinaldo, Francesco Laio +1
In this work, we analyze and model the cholera epidemics that affected South Sudan, the newest country in the world, during 2014 and 2015. South Sudan possibly represents one of th…
Covariations in ecological scaling laws fostered by community dynamics
Silvia Zaoli, Andrea Giometto, Amos Maritan +1
Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically-relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have…
The scaling structure of the global road network
Emanuele Strano, Andrea Giometto, Saray Shai +3
Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a ma…
On the Connections Between Surficial Processes and Stratigraphy in River Deltas
Michael J. Puma, Rachata Muneepeerakul, Chris Paola +2
We explore connections between surficial deltaic processes (e.g. avulsion, deposition) and the stratigraphic record using a simple numerical model of delta-plain evolution, with th…
Demographic stochasticity and resource autocorrelation control biological invasions in heterogeneous landscapes
Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt, Andrea Rinaldo
Classical models of biological invasions assess species spread in homogeneous landscapes by assuming constant growth rates and random local movement. Mounting evidence suggests, ho…
Sample and population exponents of generalized Taylor's law
Andrea Giometto, Marco Formentin, Andrea Rinaldo +2
Taylor's law (TL) states that the variance of a non-negative random variable is a power function of its mean , i.e. . The ubiquitous empirical verification of TL, t…
