Abstract:
In this paper, a reaction-diffusion SI epidemic model with media impact is considered. The boundedness of system and the existence of the state are given. The local stabilities of the endemic states are analyzed. Sufficient conditions of the occurrence of the Turing pattern are obtained by the center manifold theorem and normal form method. Some numerical simulations are given to check in the theoretical results. We find that the influence of media not only inhibits the spread of infectious diseases, but also effects the spatial steady-state of model.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
