On"Sexual contacts and epidemic thresholds,"models and inference for Sexual partnership distributions
Recent work has focused attention on statistical inference for the population distribution of the number of sexual partners based on survey data. The characteristics of these distributions are of interest as components of mathematical models for the transmission dynamics of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). Such information can be used both to calibrate theoretical models, to make predictio...
متن کاملComputation of epidemic final size distributions.
We develop a new methodology for the efficient computation of epidemic final size distributions for a broad class of Markovian models. We exploit a particular representation of the stochastic epidemic process to derive a method which is both computationally efficient and numerically stable. The algorithms we present are also physically transparent and so allow us to extend this method from the ...
متن کاملTransverse momentum parton distributions inspired by a quark potential model
We derive a nonperturbative transverse momentum distribution for partons using a potential model to describe the quark-quark interaction inside the proton. We use this distribution to calculate the diferential cross-section of π 0-production for intermediate values of transverse momentum in p − p collisions at high energies. Assuming a variable string tension constant for the quark-quark potent...
متن کامل[Sexual injuries during consensual sexual activity].
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate sexual injury treated in our clinic. METHODS We evaluated the results of 31 patients (17 males, 14 females; mean age 31,97±11,64; range 18 to 60 years) with sexual injury during consensual sexual activity, who presented to the emergency department between January 2004 and December 2010. Patients' age, etiology of injury, time pa...
متن کاملThe effect of superspreading on epidemic outbreak size distributions.
Recently, evidence has been presented to suggest that there are significant heterogeneities in the transmission of communicable diseases. Here, a stochastic simulation model of an epidemic process that allows for these heterogeneities is used to demonstrate the potentially considerable effect that heterogeneity of transmission will have on epidemic outbreak size distributions. Our simulation re...
