Towards more robust estimates of the transmissibility
نویسنده
چکیده
21 There is a lack of a common concept on how to estimate transmissibility of 22 Chlamydia trachomatis from cross-sectional sexual partnership studies. Using a 23 mathematical model that takes into account the dynamics of chlamydia transmis24 sion and sexual partnership formation, we report refined estimates of chlamydia 25 transmissibility in heterosexual partnerships. 26

A biomechanical modeling of an automotive passenger body to investigate the vertical vibration in various road profiles using transmissibility analysis
In the current paper, a biomechanical model of human body with unique structure is developed for evaluating the biodynamic responses, the vibration transmissibility and the transmitted accelerations to vertical vibration for the seated position with ignoring backrest support. In this regard, the 6-DoF Lumped-parameter model with six concentrated masses which are connected with linear springs an...
متن کاملThe effect of support parameters on the force transmissibility of a flexible rotor
Rotating machinery support design with the aim of reducing the force transmitted to the foundation has significant importance regarding the various applications of these machineries. In this paper presents a rapid approximate method for calculating the optimum support flexibility and damping of flexible rotors to minimize force transmissibility in the vicinity of the rotor first critical speed....
متن کاملMultiple Estimates of Transmissibility for the 2009 Influenza Pandemic Based on Influenza-like-Illness Data from Small US Military Populations
Rapidly characterizing the amplitude and variability in transmissibility of novel human influenza strains as they emerge is a key public health priority. However, comparison of early estimates of the basic reproduction number during the 2009 pandemic were challenging because of inconsistent data sources and methods. Here, we define and analyze influenza-like-illness (ILI) case data from 2009-20...
متن کاملA Robust Dispersion Control Chart Based on M-estimate
Process control charts are proven techniques for improving quality. Specifying the control limits is the most important step in designing a control chart. The presence of outliers may extremely affect the estimates of parameters using classical methods. Robust estimators which are not affected by outliers or the small departures from the model assumptions are applied in this paper to specify th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Virulence Factors and Plasmid-Related Transmissibility among Different Isolates of Enterococci
The incidence of virulence factors among 114 Enterococcus faecalis and 35 Enterococcus faecium strains from different clinical specimens were compared with those isolated from control groups. A few of the isolates expressed two or more of the following traits simultaneously: hemolysin, aggregation substance, gelatinase, DNase, hemagglutinin and antibiotic resistance. The frequencies of hemolysi...
