Abstract:
A theoretical framework for the description of susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) spreading processes with synergistic transmission of infection on a lattice is developed. The model incorporates explicitly the effects of time-dependence of the state of the hosts in the neighborhood of transmission events. Exact solution of the model shows that time-dependence of the state of nearest neighbors of recipient hosts is a key factor for synergistic spreading processes. It is demonstrated that the higher the connectivity of a lattice, the more prominent is the effect of synergy on spread.

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
