Determination of epidemic parameters from early phase fatality data: A case study of the 2009 A(H1N1) pandemic in Europe
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2018)
This paper demonstrates that the susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model applied to the early phase of an epidemic can be used to determine epidemic parameters reliably. As a case study the SIR model is applied to the ...
Support vector regression for surveillance purposes
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2006)
This paper addresses the problem of applying powerful statistical pattern classification algorithm based on kernel functions to target tracking on surveillance systems. Rather than directly adapting a recognizer we develop ...
Modulation of high-density lipoproteins in a population in Istanbul Turkey with low levels of high-density lipoproteins
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2005)
The extent to which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels can be increased in patients with low HDL cholesterol is important because low HDL cholesterol levels increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). ...
Genetic variations of the apolipoprotein B gene in Turkish patients with coronary artery disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005)
Background: The results of studies that clarify the association of genetic markers at the apolipoprotein B (apo B) gene (EcoRI and XbaI polymorphisms) with coronary artery disease (CAD) are not consistent and suggest that ...
Effects of cold stress on early and late stimulus gating
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2005)
The P50 component of the event-related potential (ERP) mainly reflects early pre-attentional processing. Along with P50 the N100 component and mismatch negativity (MMN) were postulated to represent a complex multistage and ...
Intraspinal metalloma resulting in late paraparesis
(Springer, 2005)
The metal-related complications caused by orthopedic implants have long been a concern but these problems have been considered mostly in the field of arthroplasty or internal fixation of fractures. The recent prevalence ...
Coulomb corrections in the lepton-pair production in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
(Amer Physical Soc., 2005)
We solve the perturbative electron-positron pair production exactly by calculating the second-order Feynman diagrams. We compare our result with Born methods that include Coulomb corrections. We find that a small-momentum ...
Chebyshev nets formed by Ricci curves in a 3-dimensional Weyl space
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2005)
In this paper Ricci curves in a 3-dimensional Weyl space W-3(g T) are defined and it is shown that any 3-dimensional Chebyshev net formed by the three families of Ricci curves in a W-3(g T) having a definite metric and ...
Comparison of three different combination therapies in the treatment of human brucellosis
(ROYAL SOC MEDICINE PRESS LTD, 2005)
The efficacy and tolerability of three different combination treatment regimens in human brucellosis were compared in 118 uncomplicated patients enrolled in a prospective study between May 1997 and December 2002. Brucellosis ...
Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) with the drainage of the uncinate process into the minor papilla: demonstration by MRI
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2005)
We report a case of a 30-year-old patient with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) that has not been described before. The patient had a clinical history of recurrent attacks of pancreatitis cholangitis and ...
