In this study we introduce a mechanistic framework for modeling host–parasite coevolution
using a nested modeling approach. The first step in this approach is to construct a …

A new 3 dimensional finite element representation of the human head complex has been
constructed for simulating the transient occurrences of simple pedestrian accidents. This paper …

Natural selection acts on virus populations at two distinct but interrelated levels: within
individual hosts and between them. Studies of the evolution of virulence typically focus on …

Mathematical models of HIV-1 infection can help interpret drug treatment experiments and
improve our understanding of the interplay between HIV-1 and the immune system. We …

In this paper, a functionally graded foam model is proposed in order to improve the energy
absorption characteristics offered by uniform foams. In this novel model, the characteristics of …

We present and analyse a model of protein translation at the scale of an individual messenger
RNA (mRNA) transcript. The model we develop is unique in that it incorporates the …

The western clawed frog Xenopus tropicalis is an important model for vertebrate development
that combines experimental advantages of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis with …

The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including
surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study, we have …

In order to create a useful computational tool that will aid in the understanding and perhaps
prevention of head injury, it is important to know the quantitative influence of the constitutive …

We explore how an infected cell's virion production rate can affect the relative fitness of a virus
within a host. We perform an invasion analysis, based on an age-structured model of viral …
