Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19

Abstract In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventual...

Epidemiology;: An introductory text

This classic text presents the basic principles of epidemiology. It includes coverage of epidemiologic concepts, measurements of morbidity and mortality, sources of data on community health, selected indices of health, descriptive epidemiol...

Epidemiology: Beyond the Basics

Finally! A first-of-its-kind intermediate level epidemiology text specifically designed to expand student knowledge without complex statistical formulations! Epidemiology: Beyond the Basics guides your students who have a good understanding...

Foundations of Epidemiology

If the American health community were to select a dean of epidemiology it would surely be Professor Abraham (Abe) Lilienfeld of the John Hopkins University. He and his son David have collaborated in producing one of the most lucid, stimulat...

Epidemiology in Medicine

Epidemiology is the simplest and most direct method of studying the causes of disease in humans, and many major contributions have been made by studies that have demanded nothing more than the ability to count, to think logically, and to ha...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

Cost-Based Competition and Market Share Determination: A CES Analytical Framework

This study examines the micro-level mechanisms through which increasing market concentration and the entrenchment of competitive advantage arise. We develop a theoretical framework based on a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) produc...

An Augmented Discrete-Time Approach for Human-Robot Collaboration

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is a key feature to distinguish the new generation of robots from conventional robots. Relevant HRC topics have been extensively investigated recently in academic institutes and companies to improve human and...

A Quantum-Resistant Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Fog-Assisted Vehicular Networks

Fog-based Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) support low-latency services by providing computing resources in close proximity to vehicles, but they also face security threats arising from Fog Node (FN) compromise and advances in quantum com...

Practical Quantum Computing

In the last few years, several quantum algorithms that try to address the problem of partial differential equation solving have been devised: on the one hand, “direct” quantum algorithms that aim at encoding the solution of the PDE by execu...

On a New Interpretation of Fuzzy C Mean Using Quantum Theory

A quantum mechanics interpretation of Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) is presented. Cluster aims to study the data distribution in scale space. Its characteristics are very similar to the particle world in quantum physics. By analyzing the essence of th...

Quantum Computing for Molecular Biology**

Molecular biology and biochemistry interpret microscopic processes in the living world in terms of molecular structures and their interactions, which are quantum mechanical by their very nature. Whereas the theoretical foundations of these ...

The polynomial learning with errors problem and the smearing condition

As quantum computing advances rapidly, guaranteeing the security of cryptographic protocols resistant to quantum attacks is paramount. Some leading candidate cryptosystems use the learning with errors (LWE) problem, attractive for its simpl...

Functional Matrices on Quantum Computing Simulation

In simulating Quantum Computing by using the circuit model the size of the matrices to deal with, together with the number of products and additions required to apply every quantum gate becomes a really hard computational restriction. This ...

Quantum computing and the Jones polynomial

This paper is an exploration of relationships between the Jones polynomial and quantum computing. We discuss the structure of the Jones polynomial in relation to representations of the Temperley Lieb algebra, and give an example of a unitar...

Distributed Systems with Persistent Memory

On the controllability of distributed systems

To "control" a system is to make it behave (hopefully) according to our "wishes," in a way compatible with safety and ethics, at the least possible cost. The systems considered here are distributed-i.e., governed (modeled) by partial differ...
