Time-delayed fronts from biased random walks

We generalize a previous model of time-delayed reaction–diffusion fronts (Fort and Méndez 1999 Phys. Rev. Lett. 82 867) to allow for a bias in the microscopic random walk of particles or individuals. We also present a second model which takes the time order of events (diffusion and reproduction) into account. As an example, we apply them to the human invasion front across the USA in the 19th century. The corrections relative to the previous model are substantial. Our results are relevant to physical and biological systems with anisotropic fronts, including particle diffusion in disordered lattices, population invasions, the spread of epidemics, etc

Sistema de información geográfica para web con informaciones espaciales (geográficas) de output y input para expediciones

This project is a Web Geographic Information System built on an Open Source geographic structure like MapServer (Minnesota University) and PostgreSQL/PostGIS (object relational database management system). The study case is a web site for expeditions in a specific Brazilian region
