🎬 A bit Adolescence, a bit Hamelin’s Pied Piper, in my opinion Weapons finds a perfect balance between horror and thriller, fantasy and reality, fear, sadness and even fun (not that much though). Oh btw, it was a great new entry in this list. 👇

🖊️Plot: as you can see in the picture above, seventeen children from the same class wake up simultaneously at 2.17 AM. They go out from the bed, run off in the darkness and disappear. Following different characters, from the class teacher to a policeman, the spectators slowly unveils the mystery. 👇

Introduction time!! Finding out that some people sing in the shower and nobody is wearing mismatched socks is exactly the information you need! @css-conference.bsky.social

By employing the spatial position of olive trees in the Salento subregion in Italy, we defined a network structure on top of them and hence applied and tested our models to this real life, spatial scenario.

For the case study, a brief parenthesis is needed. In the last decade, Puglia region suffered from a very strong and devastating epidemic of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which infected and killed several MILLIONS of olive trees.

In the containment scenario, where epidemic and vaccination evolve simultaneously, we found that both strategies perform slightly similarly in reducing the impact of the diseases, but block vaccination exploits fewer resources.

In the preventive scenario, where the vaccination occurs BEFORE the epidemic takes place, Ring outperforms Block vaccination, reducing the size of the epidemic and, in some case, even preventing it from happening.

We derived a set of equations ruling each of the process and tested them on a set of synthetic networks, proving an excellent correspondence between theoretical and simulated results in all the scenarios considered.

In this work we defined a new set of models for vaccination strategies on networks. To put it simple: given a node, its neighbors can be vaccinated up to (Block) or exactly at (Ring) R contacts away. Vaccination can then occur before or during an epidemic spread.

Comparing the effectiveness of ring and block-vaccination strategies on networks

Author summary Infectious diseases such as measles and Ebola have shown how quickly outbreaks can spread and how essential vaccination is to protect individuals. In our work, we investigate a spectrum...
