NOT JUST A SUM? IDENTIFYING DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERPLAY BETWEEN CONSTITUENTS IN COMBINED INTERVENTIONS.


Improving the modeling of disease data from the government surveillance system: a case study on malaria in the Brazilian Amazon.

The study of the effect of large-scale drivers (e.g., climate) of human diseases typically relies on aggregate disease data collected by the government surveillance network.The usual approach to analyze these data, however, often ignores a) changes in the total number of individuals examined, b) the bias towards symptomatic individuals in routine g

Nonlinear deformation of axisymmetrically loaded rotation shell based on FEM with different variants of definitional equations

A curvilinear finite element of the median line of an axisymmetrically loaded shell of revolution with a stiffness matrix of $8{ imes} 8$ size is used when choosing nodal unknowns in the form of displacements and their first derivatives is used.The constitutive equations at the loading step are implemented in two versions.In the first version, the
