    A Molecular Communication Perspective on Airborne Pathogen Transmission and Reception Via Droplets Generated by Coughing and Sneezing
    (IEEE, 2021) Güleç, Fatih; Atakan, Barış
    Infectious diseases spread via pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Airborne pathogen transmission via droplets is an important mode for infectious diseases. In this paper, the spreading mechanism of infectious diseases by airborne pathogen transmission between two humans is modeled with a molecular communication perspective. An end-to-end system model which considers the pathogen-laden cough/sneeze droplets as the input and the infection state of the human as the output is proposed. This model uses the gravity, initial velocity and buoyancy for the propagation of droplets and a receiver model which considers the central part of the human face as the reception interface is proposed. Furthermore, the probability of infection for an uninfected human is derived by modeling the number of propagating droplets as a random process. The numerical results reveal that exposure time affects the probability of infection. In addition, the social distance for a horizontal cough should be at least 1.7 m and the safe coughing angle of a coughing human to infect less people should be less than -25 degrees.

    A Biomathematical Model for Phoma Tracheiphila Citrus Resistance Screening
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Khanchouch, Khaled; Hajlaoui, Mohamed Rabeh; Kutucu, Hakan
    The causal agent of Mal Secco, Phoma tracheiphila, is responsible for many important losses in the Citrus crop worldwide. The resistance enhancement of Citrus susceptible to the pathogen infection depends on the availability of a valid test for disease assessment. However, the resistance analysis tests used give controversial results. In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model to conduct a rapid and efficient resistance screening test. This model has the advantage to give a strict evaluation of the resistance and not a relative estimation as in the usual tests. The results obtained by this model are in concordance with those observed in the orchards.
