The susceptible-infected-susceptible(SIS) model of Weiss and Dishon is one of the simplest models of endemic infections. The model describes the evolution of an infection in a fixed population, with no restriction on the possibility of reinfection of a previously infected and now recovered individual. This is in contrast to the venerable susceptible-infection-recovered(SIR) model, where reinfection is not permitted. Both models exhibit a threshold value of the infectivity, below which the infection immediately dies out. Below the threshold, where only a tiny fraction of the population is impacted, the two models have essentially equivalent statistical properties. Above the threshold, in the SIR model, the infection is self-limiting, since in a fixed population the number of potential new victims, the susceptible pool, is monotonically decreasing in size. The SIS model, on the other hand, describes an endemic infection which can(above the threshold) persist indefinitely, at least at the deterministic level. Thus, the statistics of infection size in the two models above the threshold are very different.  1, record 4, English, - susceptible%2Dinfected%2Dsusceptible%20model

On considère une population close et on modélise la propagation d’une maladie infectieuse dans cette population. On suppose que les individus composant la population peuvent être dans l’un de deux états : ils sont susceptibles (à la maladie) s’ils n’ont pas contracté la maladie, et infectieux s’ils ont contracté la maladie et qu’ils la propagent. Cela définit donc deux compartiments, l’objet de la modélisation étant de décrire l’évolution du nombre d’individus dans chaque compartiment [...]  2, record 4, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20SIS

The stability of convection rolls has been studied in detail, both theoretically and experimentally by Busse and his co-workers(since 1969). In the three-dimensional parameter space,... the stability condition of straight rolls define a surface called the Busse balloon, of which we will consider specific portions only. Basically, two kinds of secondary instabilities can take place : universal or specific. The presence of universal secondary modes depends only on the symmetry properties of the structure whereas specific modes involve physical couplings depending on the value of the Prandtl number. In practice, the situation is a little less clear cut since the threshold of universal modes can depend quantitatively on P and some secondary modes mix universal and specific features.  1, record 15, English, - Busse%20balloon

La stabilité des rouleaux de convection a été étudiée en détail, théoriquement aussi bien qu'expérimentalement par Busse et ses collaborateurs (depuis 1969). Dans l'espace des paramètres [...] la condition de stabilité des rouleaux droits définit un domaine appelé ballon de Busse, dont nous n'examinerons que quelques sections spécifiques. On peut distinguer essentiellement deux types d'instabilités secondaires, universelles ou spécifiques. La présence des modes secondaires universels ne dépend que des propriétés de symétrie de la structure tandis que les modes spécifiques mettent en jeu des couplages physiques dont l'intensité dépend du nombre de Prandtl. En pratique la situation est un peu moins simple car le seuil des modes universels peut dépendre quantitativement du nombre de P et certains modes secondaires mélangent des caractéristiques universelles et spécifiques.  1, record 15, French, - ballon%20de%20Busse
