Celebrating 50 years

5 0 years ago, what would soon evolve to become the profession of respiratory therapy emerged as the Canadian Society of Inhalation Therapy Technicians. One year following the inception of the Society, Canadian Inhalation Therapy published its first issue. From the outset of the profession, research, evaluation and knowledge translation have been fundamental to advancing our understanding of re...

Celebrating 50 Years of Occupational Therapy in Iran

Celebrating milestones is important. It provides a means of reflection and opportunity to give thanks to those that have come before us and as such fifty years of occupational therapy in Iran is a very worthy milestone to acknowledge. As we pause to celebrate this achievement, we take a moment to reflect on the journey to date, recognizing the accomplishments of many.

We establish a connection between epidemic models on random networks with general infection times considered in Barbour and Reinert (2013) and first passage percolation. Using techniques developed inBhamidi, van derHofstad andHooghiemstra (2012), when each vertex has infinite contagious periods, we extend results on the epidemic curve in Barbour and Reinert (2013) from bounded degree graphs to ...

Celebrating 50 Years of the Applied Probability Trust

We introduce a new class of Monte Carlo methods, which we call exact estimation algorithms. Such algorithms provide unbiased estimators for equilibrium expectations associated with real-valued functionals defined on a Markov chain. We provide easily implemented algorithms for the class of positive Harris recurrent Markov chains, and for chains that are contracting on average. We further argue t...
