A general statistical approach is described to couple the continuum with molecular dynamics in fluid simulation. Arbitrary thermodynamic field boundary conditions can be imposed on an MD system while minimally disturbing the particle dynamics of the system. The importance of incorporating a higher order single-particle distribution function in light of the Chapman–Enskog development is demonstr...

Glossary Contributing factors: These are determinants that directly or indirectly cause an outbreak. A contributing factor can be biological, behavioral, or attitudinal; or an element of the physical or social environment; or the result of policies related to the problem. Examples include retort, pasteurization, or cooking temperatures that do not destroy or reduce pathogens, poor personal hygi...

Abstract Background:   The NS (non-structural) genomic segment of influenza A virus expresses two proteins (NS1 and NS2) which are responsible for the virulence and pathogenicity of virus. In this study we investigate the characterization and variability of the NS gene recovered from H1N1 influenza viruses isolated from Iranian patients during the 2017 seasonal outbreak  and from high...

background: the emergence and spread of ebola outbreak is a growing problem worldwide, which represents a significant threat to public health. evidence has shown that the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of people in the society play major roles in controlling the spread of ebola virus disease. this study was designed to determine knowledge, attitude and practice of students at school...

both urban and rural cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) are endemic in different parts of iran and have long been recognized in most provinces. however, there is no report of endemicity of cl in rural areas of kashan, 200 km north of isfahan and 260 km south of tehran, iran. to our knowledge, this is the first report of outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis in this area. to study and identify the natur...

Epidemical crisis prediction is one of the most challenging examples of decision making with uncertain information. As in many other types of crises, epidemic outbreaks may pose various degrees of surprise as well as various degrees of “derivatives” of the surprise (i.e., the speed and acceleration of the surprise). Often, crises such as epidemic outbreaks are accompanied by a secondary set of ...

The study was carried out to estimate classical swine fever (CSF) outbreak-related outcomes, such as epidemic duration and number of infected, vaccinated, and depopulated premises, using defined most likely CSF outbreak scenarios. Risk metrics were established using empirical data to select the most likely CSF outbreak scenarios in Indiana. These scenarios were simulated using a stochastic betw...

Outbreak data have been used to estimate the proportion of illnesses attributable to different foods. Applying outbreak-based attribution estimates to nonoutbreak foodborne illnesses requires an assumption of similar exposure pathways for outbreak and sporadic illnesses. This assumption cannot be tested, but other comparisons can assess its veracity. Our study compares demographic, clinical, te...
