Estimating contact process saturation in sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in the United States. by Christopher Kribs-Zaleta

“…Results are used to draw conclusions about saturation and which population density drives each of the two contact-based infection processes (stercorarian/bloodborne and oral). Analysis suggests that the vector feeding process associated with stercorarian transmission to hosts and bloodborne transmission to vectors is limited by the population density of vectors when dealing with woodrats, but by that of hosts when dealing with raccoons and opossums, while the predation of hosts on vectors which drives oral transmission to hosts is limited by the population density of hosts. …”

Leaky Dust Traps in Planet-embedded Protoplanetary Disks by Pinghui Huang, Fangyuan Yu, Eve J. Lee, Ruobing Dong, Xue-Ning Bai

“…From the survival of dust disks for a few Myr to the establishment of chemical dichotomy, dust traps are expected to play a pivotal role in sculpting protoplanetary disks and the early planet formation process. These traps may not be perfect, as evidenced by both numerical simulations and the observations of disks with gaps and cavities, inside which we detect some amounts of both gas and dust. …”
