✦ Synopsis

This paper deals with the analysis of a new class of models of population dynamics with kinetic interactions. The content is essentially methodological and is organized in two parts. The first one refers to modeling in the framework of the so-called generalized kinetic (Boltzmann) models. The second part deals with the modeling of microscopic interactions between the individuals involved in the game. Microscopic modeling is then addressed to applications in epidemiology.

Physical evolution of Jupiter family (JF) comets is considered as a simulta- neous process of erosion and fading. Dynamical effects are limited to discrete changes of the perihelion distance, that result in changes of the evaporation rate. Assuming that the JF comet population is in a steady state,

## Abstract The three basic modelling approaches used to explain forest fire behaviour are theoretically, laboratory or empirically based. Results of all three approaches are reviewed, but it is noted that only the laboratory‐ and empirically based models have led to forecasting techniques that are
