In this paper we propose a macro-dynamic age-structured set-up for the analysis of epidemics/economic dynamics in continuous time. The resulting optimal control problem is reformulated in an infinite …
Electrical power converters use semiconductor switching devices for a larger loss reduction compared with non-switching power linear amplifiers, such as class-B amplifiers. However, it is well known t…
We study an SEIQR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Quarantined-Recovered) model due to Young et al. (2019) for an infectious disease, with time delays for latency and an asymptomatic phase. For fast pa…
A summary is given of the mechanical characteristics of virus contaminants and the transmission via droplets and aerosols. The ordinary and partial differential equations describing the physics of the…
Because many biological processes related to the dynamics of infectious diseases are caused by complex interactions between the environment, the host(s) and the agent(s), the necessity to address the …
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that reduced birth weight in normal fetuses born at moderately high altitude (Denver), compared with the birth weight in normal fetuses born at sea level (Milan), is …
Although lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)) is a widely used test of diffusive O2 transfer, few studies have directly related DL(CO) to O2-diffusing capacity (DL(O2)); none has used …
Significant advances in metal ion analysis by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) have occurred as a consequence of using metal complexes with various organic and inorganic ligands. Metal-ligand comp…
We study the systems of partial differential equations with diffusion that model the dynamics of infectious diseases without life-time immunity, in particular the cases of cholera from Wang & Wang (20…
Transport of soluble material is analyzed for volume-cycle oscillatory flow in a tapered tube. The equations of motion are solved using a regular perturbation method for small taper angle and order un…
Background: This study aimed to test the validity of three different submaximal tests (i.e., 3-min step test with 20.3-cm step box height (3MST20), 3-min step test with 30-cm step box height (3MST30),…
The surface topology and sequence conservation of different picornaviruses have been compared using molecular graphics and statistical analyses. The comparisons suggest that the canyons, surface depre…
This research contributes to the current knowledge on teacher well-being by examining an integrated model with a personal resource (i.e., emotional intelligence) explaining teacher withdrawal intentio…
Despite temporally forced transmission driving many infectious diseases, analytical insight into its role when combined with stochastic disease processes and non-linear transmission has received littl…
A simplified radiative transfer equation yields a simple analytic expression for the co- and cross-polarized return in a linearly polarized oceanographic lidar. This equation agrees well with the lida…
A "blocks model" is proposed to model the distribution of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (VA/Q distribution). This model is developed from statistical principles and enables the estimated VA/Q distri…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of commonly used statistical methods for analyzing continuous correlated eye data when sample size is small.METHODS: We simulated correlated continuous data from t…
When two types of Drosophila are in competition, the frequency dependence of mating successes frequently is measured by direct observation of copulating pairs in "Elens-Wattiaux" observation chambers,…
Sampling units that do not answer a survey may dramatically affect the estimation results of interest. The response may even be conditional on the outcome of interest in the survey. If estimates are f…
SNP markers are becoming central for studying genetic determinants of complex diseases. Large SNP data collected in such studies call for the development of specialized analysis tools. We present meth…
