Background Estimating change in clinical demand for red blood cells (RBCs) from a disaster, as well as triaging introduced in response, is essential to plan effectively for a major blood shortage. We aimed to develop a RBC demand model to assess the

Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus (pH1N1) over the 2009 and 2010 influenza seasons in Australia and New Zealand (NZ) and compare them with expectations based on previous pandemics. Methods: Lab

The retention and distribution of spray droplets within the plant canopy have a crucial effect on the biological efficacy of pesticides. To maximise spray retention, droplets that impact a leaf must remain on the plant. Three outcomes are possible wh

We study the propagation in one spatial dimension of combustion waves in a strongly exothermic, premixed fuel. After using numerical methods to determine the form of the combustion waves, we use the method of matched asymptotic expansions to obtain a

In many generic combustion models, one finds that a combustion wave will develop with a specific wave speed. However, there are possible initial temperature profiles which do not evolve into such waves, but rather die out to the ambient temperature.

BACKGROUND: During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic (pH1N1), morbidity and mortality sparing was observed among the elderly population; it was hypothesized that this age group benefited from immunity to pH1N1 due to cross-reactive antibodies generated from pri

In 2010 Skowronski and colleagues reported that seasonal influenza vaccine appeared to increase the risk of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009 (pH1N1) infection during the first pandemic wave in Canada [1]. They suggested a number of possible explanations

High-order asymptotic approximations to the equation governing the longitudinal dispersion of a passive contaminant in Poiseuille channel flow are derived, and their validity discussed. The derivation uses centre manifold theory, which provides a sys

Patchy or divided populations can be important to infectious disease transmission. We first show that Lloyd’s mean crowding index, an index of patchiness from ecology, appears as a term in simple deterministic epidemic models of the SIR type. Using

Background In mid-June 2009 the State of Victoria in Australia appeared to have the highest notification rate of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza in the world. We hypothesise that this was because community transmission of pandemic influenza was alread
