This book describes the uses of different mathematical modeling and soft computing techniques used in epidemiology for experiential research in projects such as how infectious diseases progress to show the likely outcome of an epidemic, and to contribute to public health interventions.This book covers mathematical modeling and soft computing techniques used to study the spread of diseases, predict the future course of an outbreak, and evaluate epidemic control strategies. This book explores the applications covering numerical and analytical solutions, presents basic and advanced concepts for beginners and industry professionals, and incorporates the latest methodologies and challenges using mathematical modeling and soft computing techniques in epidemiology.Primary users of this book include researchers, academicians, postgraduate students, and specialists.

This book explores the ambitious policies and strategies implemented by Yunnan’s provincial government to establish transnational linkages with neighboring countries in South and Southeast Asia. Traditionally viewed as a landlocked and economically backward region, Yunnan has long been considered a "periphery" in Chinese development discourse. However, the introduction of the "Bridgehead" strategy in 2009 and subsequent national-level support have redefined Yunnan’s role as a vital economic corridor connecting China to its Asian neighbors.It examines how provincial leadership has leveraged Yunnan’s geographical positioning and cultural diversity to foster growth. By focusing on infrastructure development, the cultivation of pillar industries, and cross-border collaboration, Yunnan has transformed into a hub for talent, capital, technology, and trade. Initiatives like developing border cities, promoting tourism, and creating urban economic zones have revitalized its historical role along the Southern Silk Road while integrating the region into the global economy.Unlike existing literature that predominantly addresses issues of ethnicity, folklore, and identity in Yunnan, this book analyzes its developmental strategies through the lens of economic restructuring and global integration. It highlights how local spaces near border areas have shifted from inward-focused stagnation to outward-oriented growth.This volume is essential for scholars in Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Provincial Politics, and Regional Studies. By bringing together perspectives from Yunnan-based and Indian scholars, it offers a nuanced understanding of how provincial leadership reimagines border regions as engines of growth and integration in the global economy.

This book focuses on the fundamental processes involved in calcium signaling through fractional mathematical modeling. The intended reader of the book is mathematically proficient students of cell biology, applied mathematics and mathematical biology who are interested in learning about modeling in cell biology. The book will inspire the graduate students and researchers to collaborate with experimentalists while studying the direction needed to explore the modeling literature.Organized into four chapters, the book introduces to fractional calculus and devoted to understanding the receptor activation by the ligand, that is Thrombin via fractional model incorporating the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator. It studies the calcium profile in red blood cells with the help of the advection-diffusion equation. The book further studies the process of buffering, aiding to the lowering of the calcium concentration in the cytosol, which rises due to calcium influx from extracellular space and intracellular storage. A mathematical model is studied to characterize the anomalous subdiffusion of cytosolic calcium.
