First Passage Times of Long Transient Dynamics in Ecology
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Feb 23;86(4):34. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01259-3.ABSTRACTLong transient dynamics in ecological models are characterized by extended periods in one state or regime before an eventual, and often abrupt, transition. One mechanism leading to long transient dynamics is the presence of ghost attractors, states where system dynamics slow down and the system lingers before eventually transitioning to the true attractor. This transition results solely from system dynamics rather than external factors. This paper investigates the dynamics of a classical herbivore-grazer model with the potential for ghost attract...

3D Genome Reconstruction from Partially Phased Hi-C Data
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Feb 22;86(4):33. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01263-7.ABSTRACTThe 3-dimensional (3D) structure of the genome is of significant importance for many cellular processes. In this paper, we study the problem of reconstructing the 3D structure of chromosomes from Hi-C data of diploid organisms, which poses additional challenges compared to the better-studied haploid setting. With the help of techniques from algebraic geometry, we prove that a small amount of phased data is sufficient to ensure finite identifiability, both for noiseless and noisy data. In the light of these results, we propose a new 3D reconstruct...

Order-of-Mutation Effects on Cancer Progression: Models for Myeloproliferative Neoplasm
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Feb 16;86(3):32. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01257-5.ABSTRACTIn some patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), two genetic mutations are often found: JAK2 V617F and one in the TET2 gene. Whether one mutation is present influences how the other subsequent mutation will affect the regulation of gene expression. In other words, when a patient carries both mutations, the order of when they first arose has been shown to influence disease progression and prognosis. We propose a nonlinear ordinary differential equation, the Moran process, and Markov chain models to explain the non-additive and non-commuta...

Impacts of Vaccination and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Variants Alpha and Delta on Coronavirus Disease 2019 Transmission Dynamics in Four Metropolitan Areas of the United States
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Feb 14;86(3):31. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01258-4.ABSTRACTTo characterize Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission dynamics in each of the metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) surrounding Dallas, Houston, New York City, and Phoenix in 2020 and 2021, we extended a previously reported compartmental model accounting for effects of multiple distinct periods of non-pharmaceutical interventions by adding consideration of vaccination and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants Alpha (lineage B.1.1.7) and Delta (lineage B.1.617.2).

Optimal Control with RdCVFL for Degenerating Photoreceptors
Bull Math Biol. 2024 Feb 12;86(3):29. doi: 10.1007/s11538-024-01256-6.ABSTRACTBoth the rod and cone photoreceptors, along with the retinal pigment epithelium have been experimentally and mathematically shown to work interdependently to maintain vision. Further, the theoredoxin-like rod-derived cone viability factor (RdCVF) and its long form (RdCVFL) have proven to increase photoreceptor survival in experimental results. Aerobic glycolysis is the primary source of energy production for photoreceptors and RdCVF accelerates the intake of glucose into the cones. RdCVFL helps mitigate the negative effects of reactive oxidative ...
