Predator-prey model with diffusion and indirect prey-taxis

We analyze predator–prey models in which the movement of predator searching for prey is the superposition of random dispersal and taxis directed toward the gradient of concentration of some chemical released by prey (e.g. pheromone), Model II, or released from damaged or injured prey due to predation (e.g. blood), Model I.

Prediction of healthcare associated infections in an intensive care unit using machine learning and big data tools

Healthcare associated infections (HAIS) can be acquired by patients during their stay in a hospital. HAIS are very endemic, causing a huge burden for the patients and for the health care system. We propose a machine learning approach to predict HAIS in an intensive care unit (ICU), combining heterogeneous data from longitudinal electronic health records and from microbiology laboratory.
