    • A cost-based comparison of quarantine strategies for new emerging diseases 

      Kribs, Christopher; Mubayi, Anuj; Martcheva, Maia; Castillo-Chavez, Carlos (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesMathematics Department, University of Texas at Arlington, 2010-07)
      A classical epidemiological framework is used to provide a preliminary cost analysis of the effects of quarantine and isolation on the dynamics of infectious diseases for which no treatment or immediate diagnosis tools are ...
    • An epidemiological approach to the spread of political third parties 

      Kribs, Christopher; Romero, Daniel M.; Mubayi, Anuj; Orbe, Clara (American Insttitue of Mathematical SciencesMathematics Department, University of Texas at Arlington, 2011-05)
      Third political parties are influential in shaping American politics. In this work we study the spread of a third party ideology in a voting population where we assume that party members/activists are more influential in ...
    • Influence of environmental factors on college alcohol drinking patterns 

      Kribs, Christopher; Bani, Ridouan; Hameed, Rasheed; Szymanowski, Steve; Greenwood, Priscilla; Mubayi, Anuj (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2013)
      Alcohol abuse is a major problem, especially among students on and around college campuses. We use the mathematical framework of [16] and study the role of environmental factors on the long term dynamics of an alcohol ...
    • The role of adaptations in two-strain competition for sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission 

      Kribs, Christopher; Mubayi, Anuj (Taylor and Francis OnlineDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-08)
      This study presents a continuous-time model for the sylvatic transmission dynamics of two strains of Trypanosoma cruzi enzootic in North America, in order to study the role that adaptations of each strain to distinct modes ...
