Modelling TB and Atherosclerosis using Multi-Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and atherosclerosis are major world health problems. In this report I will detail how to implement a java agent based model to simulate mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. This has been previously attempted successfully by professionals within this eld using C/C++. I will also discuss how to use the same approach for a di erent problem domain; atherosclerosis. To the best of my knowledge there has been no attempt to simulate the process of atherosclerosis using an agent based model.

Tuberculosis & traditional medicine: fighting the oldest infectious disease, using the oldest source of medicine
It is believed that tuberculosis has been killing human beings for over 4000 years. Several reports exist of ancient Egyptian mummies having signs of tubercular decay in their bodies. After the discovery of powerful anti-TB drugs such as streptomycin, isoniazid and rifampin during 1940-70s, it was thought that TB would be gone from the face of the earth, but tuberculosis still remains one of th...

In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a tube bank. In this way, the main concern of the study is focused on calculating the most favorable geometric characters which may gain to a maximum heat exchange as well as a m...

Background and purpose: Identifying the types of immune cells in patients with tuberculosis (TB) including single-core and multi-core is of great benefit in control and treatment of these patients. The aim of this research was to compare differential cell count in Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples in patients with and without TB. Materials and methods: In this descriptive-analytical...
متن کاملModelling and optimization of a tri-objective Transportation-Location-Routing Problem considering route reliability: using MOGWO, MOPSO, MOWCA and NSGA-II
In this research, a tri-objective mathematical model is proposed for the Transportation-Location-Routing problem. The model considers a three-echelon supply chain and aims to minimize total costs, maximize the minimum reliability of the traveled routes and establish a well-balanced set of routes. In order to solve the proposed model, four metaheuristic algorithms, including Multi-Objective Gre...
