Diapause (or named as dormancy traditionally) as a process of physiological rest is widespread in insects and other invertebrate organisms, which serves as a key survival mechanism in response to adverse environmental conditions. In this paper, a novel modelling framework is proposed to investigate the effects of diapause on population growth, where diapause period is taken as an independent dynamic process, during which the population dynamics is completely different from that in the normal developmental and post-diapause periods. To explicitly describe population growth with different diapausing stages, either immature or adult ones, two different delay differential equation models are constructed with an emphasis on mosquitoes.

In this talk, we will prove the dual log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality and the dual log-Minkowski inequality. Moreover, the equivalence between the dual log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality and the dual log-Minkowski inequality is demonstrated.

One of the fifty problems of dynamical systems formulated by J. Palis and C. Pugh is the problem of the existence of a simple arc joining two structural stable systems on a smooth closed manifold [1]. Simplicity means that the arc consists of structural stable systems with the exception of a finite set of points where the system has the least deviation from a rough system, that is simple bifurcations: a saddle-node, a doubling period or a bifurcation of a heteroclinic tangency. We show that by means of such arc it is possible to change the dimension of a basic set. Namely we joint arbitrary structural stable 3-diffeomorphism with an expanding two-dimensional attractor with an Anosov diffeomorphism.

We consider astrophysical systems that are modeled by the multidimensional Euler equations with gravity. First for the homogeneous Euler equations we look at flow in the low Mach number regime. Here for conventional finite volume discretization one has excessive dissipation in this regime. We identify inconsistent scaling for low Mach numbers of the numerical flux function as the origin of this problem. Based on the Roe solver a technique that allows to correctly represent low Mach number flows with a discretization of the compressible Euler equations is proposed. We analyze properties of this scheme and demonstrate that its limit yields a discretization of the incompressible limit system.

We consider the dynamic vector-host-pathogen interaction motivated by such tick borne diseases as tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease. We stratify the vector population in terms of the stage before and after the contact with the host when co-feeding transmission may take place, and we consider the case where vector development may involve two time lags due to diapause. We derive and calculate the critical rate for the model to exhibit nonlinear oscillations.

As we know, there are differences in travel frequency among people by age, ethnicity, region, gender, income, etc. Usually only a small fraction of people are frequent travelers while most travel occasionally or never. For instance, the percentages of frequent air traveler, occasional air traveler, and never flown in the U.S. in 2015 are 7%, 71%, and 22%, respectively. In this talk, we propose a multipatch epidemic model to investigate the effect of travel behavior on the spread of infectious diseases.

In this paper, two decoupled finite element methods are proposed for solving the 3D primitive equations of ocean. Based on the finite element approximation, optimal error estimates are given under the convergence condition. And the detailed algorithms are given in the section of numerical tests. Further, numerical calculations are implemented to validate the theoretical analysis and more calculations are implemented for a more meaningful problem. For both theoretical and numerical points of view, the proposed decoupled finite element methods are the effective strategies to solve the 3D primitive equations of ocean.
