A Stochastic Model for Bacteriophage Therapies
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, we analyze a system modeling bacteriophage treatments for infections in a noisy context. In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a sane equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability. Mathematically speaking, our study hinges on concentration techniques for delayed stochastic differential equations.

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management
Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...
متن کاملA generalized super-efficiency model for ranking extreme efficient DMUs in stochastic DEA
In this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. It is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. So fa...
متن کاملA Two Stage Stochastic Programming Model of the Price Decision Problem in the Dual-channel Closed-loop Supply Chain
In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...
متن کاملBacteriophage Infection Dynamics: Multiple Host Binding Sites
We construct a stochastic model of bacteriophage parasitism of a host bacteria that accounts for demographic stochasticity of host and parasite and allows for multiple bacteriophage adsorption to host. We analyze the associated deterministic model, identifying the basic reproductive number for phage proliferation, showing that host and phage persist when it exceeds unity, and establishing that ...
