Comparison of malaria control interventions.
Editor – The paper by Curtis & Mnzava (1) dealing with the comparison of residual house spraying and insecticide-treated nets for malaria control is timely, since important strategic choices have to be made in the Roll Back Malaria partnership. Experience in comparing these two key vector control interventions has recently become available and such a review is therefore welcome. The comparisons...
متن کاملSome Critical Implementation Issues in Iterative Robust Control Design
Iterative control is an efficient methodology for the design of highly-performing controllers. In this paper, we discuss many implementation issues of a new iterative scheme which explicitly accounts for the presence of uncertainty. The developed iterative enables one to improve quickly the performance through subsequent steps, while preserving the robust stability of the closed-loop system.
متن کاملA Randomized Longitudinal Factorial Design to Assess Malaria Vector Control and Disease Management Interventions in Rural Tanzania
The optimization of malaria control strategies is complicated by constraints posed by local health systems, infrastructure, limited resources, and the complex interactions between infection, disease, and treatment. The purpose of this paper is to describe the protocol of a randomized factorial study designed to address this research gap. This project will evaluate two malaria control interventi...
متن کاملElectronic Navigation - Some Design Issues
Navigation support will form a critical component of future mobile computing systems. However, the ability of people to navigate in unfamiliar environments can vary substantially. In this paper, it is argued that the current generation of mobile devices and associated software does not adequately support the navigational requirements of a broad segment of users and that alternative strategies a...
