EXPLICIT KINETIC HETEROGENEITY: MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR INTERPRETATION OF DEUTERIUM LABELING OF HETEROGENEOUS CELL POPULATIONS.

Explicit kinetic heterogeneity: mathematical models for interpretation of deuterium labeling of heterogeneous cell populations.

Estimation of division and death rates of lymphocytes in different conditions is vital for quantitative understanding of the immune system.Deuterium, 6NP in the form of deuterated glucose or heavy water, can be used to measure rates of proliferation and death of lymphocytes in vivo.Inferring these rates from labeling and delabeling curves has been

Molecular and Morphological Characteristics of a Novel Cyst Nematode in the Rhizosphere of Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC. in Gansu Province, Northwest China

Cyst nematodes are obligate parasitic nematodes found in the fields of many cultivated crops.These nematodes, which have great economic importance, pose a threat to food security, though they are frequently ignored or misdiagnosed as pests because of covert parasitism.A cyst nematode population parasitizing on Artemisia 12VDC Camping Accessories la

The basic reproduction number $R_0$ and effectiveness of reactive interventions during dengue epidemics: The 2002 dengue outbreak in Easter Island, Chile

We use a stochastic simulation model to explore the effect of reactive intervention strategies during the 2002 dengue outbreak in the small population of Easter Island, Chile.We quantified the effect of interventions on the transmission dynamics REVIVE SERUM and epidemic size as a function of the simulated control intensity levels and the timing of
