Dynamical prediction of flu seasonality driven by ambient temperature: influenza vs. common cold

This work presents a comparative analysis of Influenzanet data for influenza itself and common cold in the Netherlands during the last 5 years, from the point of view of modelling by linearised SIRS equations parametrically driven by the ambient temperature. It is argued that this approach allows for the forecast of common cold, but not of influenza in a strict sense. The difference in their kinetic models is discussed with reference to the clinical background.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

About Calculation of the Hankel Transform Using Preliminary Wavelet Transform

The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for evaluating Hankel transform of the null and the first kind. The result is the exact analytical representation as the series of the Bessel and Struve functions multiplied by the wavelet coefficients of the input function. Numerical evaluation of the test function with known analytical Hankel transform illustrates the proposed algorithm.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Some misprints are correcte
