Similarity Is Not Enough: Tipping Points of Ebola Zaire Mortalities
In early 2014 an outbreak of a slightly mutated Zaire Ebola subtype appeared in West Africa which is less virulent than 1976 and 1994 strains. The numbers of cases per year appear to be ~ 1000 times larger than the earlier strains, suggesting a greatly enhanced transmissibility. Although the fraction of the 2014 spike glycoprotein mutations is very small (~3%), the mortality is significantly re...
متن کاملNot Enough Points Is Enough
Models of the untyped λ-calculus may be defined either as applicative structures satisfying a bunch of first order axioms, known as “λ-models”, or as (structures arising from) any reflexive object in a cartesian closed category (ccc, for brevity). These notions are tightly linked in the sense that: given a λ-model A, one may define a ccc in which A (the carrier set) is a reflexive object; conve...
متن کاملWhen Enough Is Not Enough
People are often exposed to more information than they can actually remember. Despite this frequent form of information overload, little is known about how much information people choose to remember. Using a novel “stop” paradigm, the current research examined whether and how people choose to stop receiving new—possibly overwhelming—information with the intent to maximize memory performance. Pa...
متن کاملWave-Like Spread of Ebola Zaire
In the past decade the Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) has emerged repeatedly into human populations in central Africa and caused massive die-offs of gorillas and chimpanzees. We tested the view that emergence events are independent and caused by ZEBOV variants that have been long resident at each locality. Phylogenetic analyses place the earliest known outbreak at Yambuku, Democratic Repub...
