Connectivity Concepts in Neuronal Network Modeling

The connectivity structure of a neuronal network model is sometimes described with a statement such as Ns source neurons and Nt target neurons are connected randomly with connection probability p One interpretation of this statement is an algorithm that considers each possible pair of source and target neurons exactly once and connects each such pa...

How Growers Make Decisions Impacts Plant Disease Control

While the spread of plant disease depends strongly on biological factors driving transmission it also has a human dimension Disease control depends on decisions made by individual growers who are in turn influenced by a broad range of factors Despite this human behaviour has rarely been included in plant epidemic models
