conclusions this case inspires consideration of hiv infection as a leading cause of thromboembolic event in individuals affected by the first episode of unprovoked one in whom diagnosis of hiv infection has not been established yet. case presentation a 27-year-old heterosexual smoker man was referred to our center due to a sudden-onset severe left lower extremity pain and claudication since thr...

used to address assembly line balancing problems (ALBP), not much attention has been given to the population initialization procedure. In this paper, a comparison is made between a randomly generated initial population and a heuristics-treated initial population. A heuristics-treated population is a mix of randomly and heuristics generated individuals in the initial population. Both populations...

CotSim is a new type of population model for Acanthaster planci on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). This multi-reef model simulates the population dynamics of Acanthaster on 270 reefs in the central GBR and integrates recent oceanographic modelling studies of the area. It has been designed to facilitate experimentation by non-modellers. Users can change initial conditions or any of the parameters ...

We study a stage-structured single species population model with Allee effects. The asymptotic dynamics of the model depend on the maximal growth rate of the population as well as on its initial population size. We also investigate two models of host-parasitoid interaction with stage-structure and Allee effects in the host. The parasitoid population may drive the host population to extinction i...
