We introduce a 2-layer network model for the study of the immunization dynamics in epidemics. Spreading of an epidemic is modeled as an excitatory process in a small-world network (body layer) while immunization by prevention for the disease as a dynamic process in a scale-free network (head layer). It is shown that prevention indeed turns periodic rages of an epidemic into small fluctuation. The study also reveals that, in a certain situation, prevention actually plays an adverse role and helps the disease survive. We argue that the presence of two different characteristic time scales contributes to the immunization dynamics observed.

Chase-Escape is a simple stochastic model that describes a predator-prey interaction. In this model, there are two types of particles, red and blue. Red particles colonize adjacent empty sites at an exponential rate $lambda_{R}$, whereas blue particl
es take over adjacent red sites at exponential rate $lambda_{B}$, but can never colonize empty sites directly. Numerical simulations suggest that there is a critical value $p_{c}$ for the relative growth rate $p:=lambda_{R}/lambda_{B}$. When $p<p_{c}$, mutual survival of both types of particles has zero probability, and when $p>p_{c}$ mutual survival occurs with positive probability. In particular, $p_{c} approx 0.50$ for the square lattice case ($mathbb Z^{2}$). Our simulations provide a plausible explanation for the critical value. Near the critical value, the set of occupied sites exhibits a fractal nature, and the hole sizes approximately follow a power-law distribution.
We present numerical simulations of a model of cellulose consisting of long stiff rods, representing cellulose microfibrils, connected by stretchable crosslinks, representing xyloglucan molecules, hydrogen bonded to the microfibrils. Within a broad r
ange of temperature the competing interactions in the resulting network give rise to a slow glassy dynamics. In particular, the structural relaxation described by orientational correlation functions shows a logarithmic time dependence. The glassy dynamics is found to be due to the frustration introduced by the network of xyloglucan molecules. Weakening of interactions between rod and xyloglucan molecules results in a more marked reorientation of cellulose microfibrils, suggesting a possible mechanism to modify the dynamics of the plant cell wall.
In this work, we study the critical behavior of an epidemic propagation model that considers individuals that can develop drug resistance. In our lattice model, each site can be found in one of four states: empty, healthy, normally infected (not drug
resistant) and strain infected (drug resistant) states. The most relevant parameters in our model are related to the mortality, cure and mutation rates. This model presents two distinct stationary active phases: a phase with co-existing normal and drug resistant infected individuals and an intermediate active phase with only drug resistant individuals. We employ a finite-size scaling analysis to compute the critical points the critical exponents ratio $beta/ u$ governing the phase-transitions between these active states and the absorbing inactive state. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that these transitions belong to the directed percolation universality class.
Multi-strain competition on networks is observed in many contexts, including infectious disease ecology, information dissemination or behavioral adaptation to epidemics. Despite a substantial body of research has been developed considering static, ti
me-aggregated networks, it remains a challenge to understand the transmission of concurrent strains when links of the network are created and destroyed over time. Here we analyze how network dynamics shapes the outcome of the competition between an initially endemic strain and an emerging one, when both strains follow a susceptible-infected-susceptible dynamics, and spread at time scales comparable with the network evolution one. Using time-resolved data of close-proximity interactions between patients admitted to a hospital and medical health care workers, we analyze the impact of temporal patterns and initial conditions on the dominance diagram and coexistence time. We find that strong variations in activity volume cause the probability that the emerging strain replaces the endemic one to be highly sensitive to the time of emergence. The temporal structure of the network shapes the dominance diagram, with significant variations in the replacement probability (for a given set of epidemiological parameters) observed from the empirical network and a randomized version of it. Our work contributes towards the description of the complex interplay between competing pathogens on temporal networks.
We present an exhaustive mathematical analysis of the recently proposed Non-Poissonian Ac- tivity Driven (NoPAD) model [Moinet et al. Phys. Rev. Lett., 114 (2015)], a temporal network model incorporating the empirically observed bursty nature of soci
al interactions. We focus on the aging effects emerging from the Non-Poissonian dynamics of link activation, and on their effects on the topological properties of time-integrated networks, such as the degree distribution. Analytic expressions for the degree distribution of integrated networks as a function of time are derived, ex- ploring both limits of vanishing and strong aging. We also address the percolation process occurring on these temporal networks, by computing the threshold for the emergence of a giant connected component, highlighting the aging dependence. Our analytic predictions are checked by means of extensive numerical simulations of the NoPAD model.
