Epidemic reproduction numbers in spatial networks

Abstract: The basic and effective reproduction numbers are widely used metrics for characterizing the dynamics of infectious disease epidemics. However, the interpretation of these numbers is based on the assumption of homogeneous mixing and may not hold in real-world populations where the contact patterns deviate from that assumption. In this paper, we present a network-based framework to compare reproduction numbers in populations with and without spatial structure, while other parameters of the disease remain fixed. Using this framework, we show that in homogeneously mixed populations, in the absence of external interventions, the effective reproduction number decreases exponentially as the susceptible population declines. In contrast, in spatially structured populations, the basic reproduction number is smaller, and the effective reproduction number initially decreases faster but eventually converges to unity. We show that the reproduction number is determined by the level of competition between infectious nodes, which is governed by the network structure. Our results suggest that without knowledge of the network structure, reproduction numbers may not be informative for parameterizing the contagiousness of the disease or predicting the behavior of epidemic spreading.

Improved life satisfaction linked to being in nature
A major international study has found that contact with the natural world is linked to higher levels of life satisfaction—and we have our bodies to thank for unlocking this benefit.

"Sick days among those that took the jabs fell by 45%, while there was a 56% reduction in long-term sick leave, classed as absences of five days or more.
Patients also did not need to see a GP as often. Face-to-face appointments dropped by an average of 43% and remote consultations by 48%. More than 60% said they did not contact their GP at all. A separate study of 738 patients who were prescribed the jabs found A&E visits among the group fell by one quarter."

High-Order ADER-DG Hydrodynamics with ExaHyPE: Implementation, Validation, and Astrophysical Benchmarking
Andr\'es Mauricio Su\'arez Mantilla, Leonardo Casta\~neda Colorado
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.17132 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.17132 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.17132
arXiv:2605.17132v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We describe a high-order ADER-DG solver for the compressible Euler equations within the ExaHyPE framework. The implementation combines a high-order ADER-DG polynomial representation, a local space-time DG predictor, adaptive mesh refinement, and an a posteriori subcell finite-volume limiter. We test the code on a deliberately mixed set of one- and two-dimensional problems: a strong-shock Sod-type problem, the Shu-Osher shock-entropy interaction, the Woodward-Colella blast wave, a contact-driven vortex sheet, and a shock-interface interaction. The one-dimensional cases recover the expected Euler wave patterns and show clear order-dependent gains in smooth and oscillatory regions. The two-dimensional cases probe a different part of the method, namely contact preservation, shear-driven roll-up, baroclinic vorticity deposition, and Richtmyer-Meshkov-type growth. In these tests the high-order update gives the expected resolution away from discontinuities, whereas the subcell limiter keeps the calculation stable near shocks and steep interfaces. The resulting code provides a reproducible ExaHyPE implementation for idealised inviscid, non-relativistic flows in which shocks, contacts, and multidimensional interfaces are the dominant features.

I cannot concur…
It’s not realistic to ask people to *never* click a link in email. We’ve got 30 years of experience with that advice not working because MUA developers have never stopped making links active & aggressively looking for anything in email that might be a link, regardless of URL conformance. That’s why SpamAssassin treats so many non-URLs as if they are URLs. Users will click clickable things. Telling them not to do so is unreasonable.

A Boothby-Wang construction in generalized contact geometry

Abstract: We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.

A discrete Boltzmann model with state-dependent power-law relaxation time for nonequilibrium transport in compressible flows

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.18216 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.18216 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.18216
arXiv:2605.18216v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects play a central role in momentum and energy transport in compressible flows. In conventional BGK kinetic models, the relaxation time $\tau$ is taken as a constant, which neglects the dependence of the relaxation process on local macroscopic states. To overcome this limitation, we develop a discrete Boltzmann model with a density- and temperature-dependent power-law relaxation time, termed DTRT-DBM, in which $\tau=\tau_0(\rho/\rho_0)^a(T/T_0)^b$. This formulation extends the discrete Boltzmann framework to flows with spatially varying nonequilibrium intensity. The model is validated by the Sod shock tube and by analytical solutions for viscous stress and heat flux, demonstrating accurate recovery of both macroscopic wave structures and nonequilibrium quantities across shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities. On this basis, phase diagrams of viscous stress and heat flux are constructed to examine how these quantities depend on the power-law exponents $a$ and $b$. The extrema of these quantities depend exponentially on the model parameters and exhibit regime-dependent behaviour. The roles of $a$ and $b$ are not symmetric: the nonequilibrium response is more sensitive to $a$ when density gradients dominate, but more sensitive to $b$ when temperature gradients dominate. Within the parameter range and flow configurations examined here, higher-order viscous stress increases the growth rate of the total viscous-stress extremum, whereas higher-order heat flux reduces the growth rate of the total heat-flux extremum. These results show that the proposed model can capture different higher-order nonequilibrium responses in compressible flows and provides a framework for the modelling and analysis of multiscale nonequilibrium processes.
