Defining core gonorrhea transmission utilizing spatial data.
Spatial distribution of repeat and singly occurring gonorrhea in Baltimore, Maryland, was examined to identify clusters of core transmitters. Gonorrhea reported between 2001 and 2002 was geocoded and mapped. Those with more than one gonorrhea infection separated by more than 14 days during the 2-year period were considered repeaters. Other cases were treated as isolated events. Six definitions ...
متن کاملStatic Behavioral Effects On Gonorrhea Transmission Dynamics
An SIS/SAS model of gonorrhea transmission in a men-seeking-men (MSM) system is presented in this paper to study the impact of education on the dynamics of gonorrhea prevalence. Education affects behaviors that may fall into two categories– prevention and disease status awareness. Stability conditions for the disease free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium are determined along with an analytic...
متن کاملDefining civilization utilizing anthropic reasoning
We utilize anthropic reasoning to demonstrate that we are typical observers of our reference class under a self-sampling assumption by investigating the definition of what a civilization is. With reference to the conflict between such reasoning and the observational lack of extra-terrestrial intelligent life, we conclude that a part of our theoretical understanding of the Universe will be at fa...
متن کاملDefining HIV-1 transmission clusters based on sequence data
: Understanding HIV-1 transmission dynamics is relevant to both screening and intervention strategies of HIV-1 infection. Commonly, HIV-1 transmission chains are determined based on sequence similarity assessed either directly from a sequence alignment or by inferring a phylogenetic tree. This review is aimed at both nonexperts interested in understanding and interpreting studies of HIV-1 trans...
متن کاملDefining National Spatial Data Infrastructures as Complex Adaptive Systems
After two decades of intensive worldwide development of (National) Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) initiatives it is increasingly important to assess the outcomes in order to justify the resources spent on those programs. Many researchers throughout the world have been struggling with building NSDI assessment programs. However it is very difficult to assess NSDIs due to its complex, dynamic ...
