Absence of epidemic threshold in scale-free networks with degree correlations
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2003-01-15)
Article
Open AccessRandom scale-free networks have the peculiar property of being prone to the spreading of infections. Here we provide for the susceptible-infected-susceptible model an exact result showing that a scale-free degree distribution ... -
Cidades em tempos de pandemia: um ensaio reflexivo
(Centre de Politica de Sol i Valoracions, CPSV / Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, UPC, 2021-06)
Article
Open AccessEste artigo nasce da inquietude frente ao momento em que o mundo atravessa, no combate a uma pandemia de escala mundial, e busca discutir qual será seu significado para as cidades tais como as conhecemos hoje. Sobre as ... -
Dynamical patterns of epidemic outbreaks in complex heterogeneous networks
(2005-03-10)
Article
Open AccessWe present a thorough inspection of the dynamical behavior of epidemic phenomena in populations with complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns. We show that the growth of the epidemic prevalence is virtually instantaneous ... -
Effect of risk perception on epidemic spreading in temporal networks
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-01-31)
Article
Open AccessMany progresses in the understanding of epidemic spreading models have been obtained thanks to numerous modeling efforts and analytical and numerical studies, considering host populations with very different structures and ... -
Epidemic dynamics and endemic states in complex networks
(2001-05-22)
Article
Open AccessWe study by analytical methods and large scale simulations a dynamical model for the spreading of epidemics in complex networks. In networks with exponentially bounded connectivity we recover the usual epidemic behavior ... -
Epidemic dynamics in finite size scale-free networks
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2002-03)
Article
Open AccessMany real networks present a bounded scale-free behavior with a connectivity cutoff due to physical constraints or a finite network size. We study epidemic dynamics in bounded scale-free networks with soft and hard ... -
Epidemic outbreaks in complex heterogeneous networks
(Springer, 2002-04)
Article
Open AccessWe present a detailed analytical and numerical study for the spreading of infections with acquired immunity in complex population networks. We show that the large connectivity fluctuations usually found in these networks ... -
Epidemic spreading in correlated complex networks
(2002-10)
Article
Open AccessWe study a dynamical model of epidemic spreading on complex networks in which there are explicit correlations among the node’s connectivities. For the case of Markovian complex networks, showing only correlations between ... -
Epidemic spreading in modular time-varying networks
(Nature, 2018-02-05)
Article
Open AccessWe investigate the effects of modular and temporal connectivity patterns on epidemic spreading. To this end, we introduce and analytically characterise a model of time-varying networks with tunable modularity. Within this ... -
Epidemics and immunization in scale-free networks
(Wiley-VCH, 2003)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyComplex interacting networks are observed in systems from such diverse areas as physics, biology, economics, ecology, and computer science. For example, economic or social interactions often organize themselves in complex ... -

Flocking-enhanced social contagion
(American Physical Society, 2020-09-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) plays a fundamental role in providing good quality healthcare services to citizens, as they are the first responders in distressing situations. Few studies have used available ... -
Incidence and impact of COVID-19 in MS. A survey from a Barcelona MS Unit.
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021-01-27)
Article
Open AccessObjective: To investigate the incidence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a single-center cohort of patients with MS and to explore the contribution of their comorbidities and therapies to the outcome. Methods: ... -
Influence of individual nodes for continuous-time susceptible-infected-susceptible dynamics on synthetic and real-world networks
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2021-07-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the study of epidemic dynamics a fundamental question is whether a pathogen initially affecting only one individual will give rise to a limited outbreak or to a widespread pandemic. The answer to this question crucially ... -
Modelització d’epidèmies. Anàlisi i aportacions al cas de la COVID-19
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-13)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessL’objectiu del treball és crear un simulador d’epidèmies amb Python, que permeti predir l’evolució i la magnitud de la COVID-19, visualitzant els resultats en gràfics. Primer, s’han estudiat els models utilitzats en les ... -

Traceless architectures: epidemic containment spaces in barcelona between the 18th and 20th centuries
(AISU International, 2024)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis communication studies, in the case of the city of Barcelona, the networks of spaces that, since the beginning of the 18th century, have fulfilled the role of facing the challenges presented by plagues, pandemics and ... -
Velocity and hierarchical spread of epidemic outbreaks in scale-free networks
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2004-04-30)
Article
Open AccessWe study the effect of the connectivity pattern of complex networks on the propagation dynamics of epidemics. The growth time scale of outbreaks is inversely proportional to the network degree fluctuations, signaling that ...
