1. Mathematical modelling of vector-borne diseases and insecticide resistance evolution
Abstract Background: Vector-borne diseases are important public health issues and, consequently, in silico models that simulate them can be useful. The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model simulates the population dynamics of an epidemic and can be easily adapted to vector-borne diseases, whereas the Hardy-Weinberg model simulates allele frequencies a

2. Desenvolvimento de um módulo de simulação para o estudo do desenvolvimento da tuberculose no tempo / Development of a simulation module for the study of development of tuberculosis in time
A idéia central desta dissertação de mestrado foi contribuir para a modernização do sistema de vigilância epidemiológica por meio do desenvolvimento de um modelo para o estudo da evolução da Tuberculose (TB) no tempo, disponibilizando este modelo em um ambiente computacional. O modelo citado foi desenvolvido para suportar experimentos controlados co

3. Localização de recursos em redes de emergência tolerantes a atrasos e desconexões
In emergency scenarios such as natural disasters, communication networks can be used to assist in the communication and coordination efforts to minimize losses from the disaster. A problem in these situations is that the network infrastructure may have been destroyed by the disaster or not be available to first responders. A solution to this problem are mobi

4. Análise da associação dos protocolos de roteamento AODV e DSR com o algoritmo Gossip, sistema de Quorum e com um novo algoritmo de economia de energia, PWSave. / Association analisys of the routing protocols AODV and DSR with Gossip, Quorum system and a new algorithm, PWSave.
This work studies the implementation of the Quorum system associated with the Gossip algorithm, the implementation of a new power saving algorithm - the PWSave - and the routing protocol AODV in a scenario with and without failures of an ad hoc network with mobility. It has been chosen to implement this work in an environment of simulation, because the mathe

5. A mathematical model of a heroin epidemic: implications for control policies.
An exponential model based on the infectious disease model of Kermack and McKendrick has been simplified to illustrate how the use of heroin spreads in epidemic fashion. A numerical simulation is arranged to show how the dynamics of spread are influenced by the original number of users, rates of conversion, and time of removal from the drug scene of those se

6. Modeling the Effects of Epidemics on Routinely Collected Data
The use of routinely collected data, such as absenteeism, to provide an early warning of an epidemic will depend on better understanding of the effects of epidemics on such data. We reviewed studies in behavioral medicine and health psychology in order to build a model relating known factors related to human health information and treatment seeking behavior

7. The dynamics of repeated elements: Applications to the epidemiology of tuberculosis
We propose a stepwise mutation model to describe the dynamics of DNA fingerprint variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The genome of M. tuberculosis carries insertion sequences (IS6110) that are relatively stable over time periods of months but have an observable transposition rate over longer time scales. Variability in copy number and genomic location o
