Designing Equitable Antiretroviral Allocation Strategies in Resource-Constrained Countries

BACKGROUND Recently, a global commitment has been made to expand access to antiretrovirals (ARVs) in the developing world. However, in many resource-constrained countries the number of individuals infected with HIV in need of treatment will far exceed the supply of ARVs, and only a limited number of health-care facilities (HCFs) will be available for ARV distribution. Deciding how to allocate t...

Equitable Allocation of Antiretrovirals in Resource-Constrained Countries

February 2005 | Volume 2 | Issue 2 | e54 | e52 To quickly control infectious disease outbreaks, extensive information is required to identify the source and transmission routes, and to evaluate the effect of containment policies. Traditionally, scientists have used traveland contact-tracing methods, but the recent SARS epidemic showed that sequencebased techniques for pathogen detection can als...

An Energy-efficient Mathematical Model for the Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem: An Evolutionary Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient mathematical model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to optimize makespan and consumption of energy, simultaneously. In the proposed model, resources are speed-scaling machines. The problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, a multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) is developed. The MOFOA uses the VIKO...

Management of Epilepsy in Resource-Limited Areas: Establishing an Epilepsy Surgery Program in Iran

Of about 40 million people with epilepsy, who live in developing countries, the majority do notreceive appropriate treatment. Nonetheless, there are striking disparities among the so-called developing countries,however generally speaking, access to and availability of epilepsy management programs in developingcountries are very limited and therefore, the issue of developing epilepsy centers in ...
