MATERNAL VACCINATION AGAINST RSV CAN SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE CHILDHOOD MORTALITY IN LOW-INCOME AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES: A MATHEMATICAL MODELING STUDY

Boys Newport Tees Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of childhood mortality in infants below 6 months of age.In low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), the public health burden is substantial and resources are limited.It is critical to inform decision makers about effectiveness of new interventions.Methods: We

This paper studies the performance analysis of wireless energy harvesting (EH) cluster-based multi-hop networks, where all communication nodes harvest energy from the radiated signals transmitted by multiple power beacons (PBs) to support the information transmission.To this end, we propose three relay selection schemes.The first scheme tries to se

Abstract Lunge Pads The East Greenland-Svalbard-Barents Sea (EGSB) bowhead whale stock (Balaena mysticetus) was hunted to near extinction and remains Endangered on the International Union of Conservation of Nature Red List.The intense, temporally extensive hunting pressure may have left the population vulnerable to other perturbations, such as envi

Abstract Background The Minangkabau is one of the major ethnic groups in Indonesia.Previous Micro Quads studies with a limited number of samples have shown a different prevalence of HBV/C in the Minangkabau compared to the Indonesian population in general.The aim of this study was to assess the HBV genotype distribution pattern and the prevalence o
