Reply to Arya and Agarwal.

TO THE EDITOR—We recognize and share the concerns expressed by Arya and Agarwal on the issue of drug quality in the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) [1], but dismiss this as a possible explanation for the observed high relapse rate in our study and, more generally, we favor a different approach to cope with this issue. As Arya and Agarwal accurately point out, we have previously describ...

Yellow fever vaccine-reply to S. arya

Letters tion centers in Lagos was fully potent, but potency in Osun and Oyo was 016 log 10 to 0.22 log 10 lower than the stipulated level (2). Furthermore, the titer of two vaccine lots that had been frozen after reconstitution from their lyophilized state dropped from the initial 3.15 log 10 to 3.53 log 10 to zero. If the United States were to implement an extended strategy, similar studies of...

Research Statement - Yuvraj Agarwal

I work on problems that exercise microsystem and hardware insights to achieve demonstrable gains in scalable deployments. In doing so, my research inherently spans two areas: Embedded Systems which focuses on hardware and abstractions at the level of a single node, and Systems and Networking which is often agnostic of the underlying hardware and deals with experiments at scale. Building on the ...

Agarwal The Cell Programming Language

In developmental biology, modeling and simulation play an important role in understanding cellular behavior. This article includes a review of the general models of development that are based on cellular interaction. Inspired by these models, we suggest a simple language, the Cell Programming Language (CPL), to write computer programs to describe this developmental behavior. These programs are ...
