Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Zika Virus Transmission Dynamics: Parameter Estimates, Disease Characteristics, and Prevention.
TL;DR: A method that utilizes a mathematical model of ZIKV dynamics and the complex-step derivative approximation technique to identify parameters that can be estimated from the available data and found that peak prevalence can be reduced to nearly 10% by reducing mosquito-to-human contact or increasing mosquito death by at least a factor of three of the base case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity analysis in poro-elastic and poro-visco-elastic models with respect to boundary data
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity via the complex-step method for delay differential equations with non-smooth initial data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the complex-step derivative approximation technique to compute sensitivities for delay differential equations (DDEs) with non-smooth (discontinuous and even distributional) history functions.

TL;DR: This work uses dynamical systems modeling to help understand how selected intra-personal factors interact to form mechanisms of behavior change in problem drinkers and suggests that this is a promising direction in research in alcohol use disorders as well as other behavioral sciences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local sensitivity via the complex-step derivative approximation for 1D Poro-Elastic and Poro-Visco-Elastic models
TL;DR: In this article, local sensitivity analysis on the solutions of these fluid-solid mixture problems with respect to the boundary source of traction associated with the elastic structure has been performed and the results show that the solution is more sensitive to boundary datum in the purely elastic case than when visco-elasticity is present in the solid matrix.
