The Microbial Aetiology of Periodontal Diseases
(InTech, 2012)
Introduction: The study of the aetiology of periodontal diseases has continued for decades with much
progress shown in the last two decades. Having moved through periods of “whole” plaque
(with emphasis on mass) being ...
Optimal strategy for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS disease: A case study of South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012)
HIV/AIDS disease continues to spread alarmingly despite the huge amounts of resources invested infighting it. There is a need to integrate the series of control measures available to ensure a consistentreduction ...
Modeling the dynamics of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(Hindawi, 2012)
Mathematical modeling of the numerical evolution of infectious diseases has become an
important tool for disease control and eradication when possible. Much work has been done
on the problem of how a given population is ...
On multiple classes of gamma-ray bursts, as deduced from autocorrelation functions or bivariate duration/hardness ratio distributions
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of 119 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) monitored by the Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift are calculated. Contrasting with previous results for smaller
numbers of bursts from other missions, ...
Disentangling non-gaussianity, bias, and general relativistic effects in the galaxy distribution
(American Physical Society, 2012)
Local non-Gaussianity, parametrized by
f
NL
, introduces a scale-dependent bias that is strongest at large scales, precisely where general relativistic (GR) effects also become significant. With future data, it should ...
Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
Reconstruction of dark energy and expansion dynamics using Gaussian processes
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
An important issue in cosmology is reconstructing the effective dark energy equation
of state directly from observations. With few physically motivated models, future dark
energy studies cannot only be based on constraining ...
