Abstract. Multiple-type branching processes that model the spread of infectious diseases are investigated. In these stochastic processes, the disease goes through multiple stages before it eventually disappears. We mostly focus on the critical multistage susceptible–infected–recovered (SIR) infection process. In the infinite-population limit, we compute the outbreak size distributions and show ...

The free Modelica library THERMOFLUID (see [2] and [11]) was developed for simulation of thermohydraulic applications, both for single-species applications like the water-steam cycle in a thermal power plant and for multi-species applications with gas mixtures. It has demonstrated its flexibility for modeling thermodynamic and process applications in a variety of industrial and academic project...

e initial goal is to reSfua wastewater at the source by 80-95% through effective wnterflowd cascade rinsing,' drag-out control and close monitoring of bath and rinse ncentrations. U m d loop should be implemented when the volume of wastewater IS ccessfully minimized and controlled. The choice of the most economical recycling and tcovery methods is then made easier for integration in a second ph...

Recently, signalling gradients in cascades of two-state reaction-diffusion systems were described as a model for understanding key biochemical mechanisms that underlie development and differentiation processes in the Drosophila embryo. Diffusion-trapping at the exterior of the cell membrane triggers the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade to relay an appropriate signal from the memb...

The p44/p42 Mitogen Activated Protein kinases (ERK1/2) cascade regulates beta cell nuclear events, which modulates cell differentiation and gene transcription, while its implication in processes occurring in the cytoplasm, such as activation of the exocytotic machinery, is still unclear. Using the MIN6 beta cell line and isolated rat islets of Langerhans, we investigated whether glucose, by act...

Background Fibrinogen, the precursor of fibrin in the coagulation cascade, is also a protein of the acute phase of inflammation, and it is the major determinant of plasma viscosity, all risk factors involved in the genesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the fibrinogen plasma levels and blood pressure measured by ambulatory moni...

Classical nonlinear waves exhibit, as a general rule, an irreversible process of thermalization toward the Rayleigh-Jeans equilibrium distribution. On other hand, several recent experiments revealed remarkable effect spatial organization optical beam that propagates through graded-index multimode fiber (MMF), phenomenon termed self-cleaning. Our aim here is to evidence qualitative impact disord...

First stage of labor is said to be prolonged if it has lasted more than 24 hours in primi and 18 multistage I latent phase, the uterus tends a hypertonic state, this can result inadequate contractions only mild (less 15 mm Hg on monitor screen), therefore uterine are ineffective. This study aims obtain description knowledge third trimester pregnant women about first lengthening at Helen Tarigan...

Phase-shifting digital holography is a digital measurement technology of a complex optical field profile that uses focal plane array detectors without the loss of bandwidth. It has been known that the accuracy of phase-shifting digital holography is limited mainly by the phase tolerance of reference. In this Letter, it is revealed that the uncertainty in an expected signal is highly dependent o...
