In this paper we develop and analyse a model for the spread of HIV/AIDS amongst a population of injecting drug users. The model we discuss focuses on the transmission of HIV through the sharing of contaminated drug injection equipment and in particular we examine the mixing of addicts and needles when the AIDS incubation period is divided into three distinct infectious stages. The impact of this assumption is to greatly increase the complexity of the HIV transmission mechanism. We begin the… Continue

Meta-analysis is being increasingly used as a tool for integrating data from different studies of complex phenotypes, because the power of any one study to Nike Free 3 Womens Uk identify causal loci is limited. We applied a novel meta-analytical approach (Loesgen et al. in Genet Epidemiol 21(Suppl 1):S142–S147, 2001 ) in compiling results from four studies of rheumatoid arthritis in Caucasians including two studies from NARAC (Jawaheer et al. in Am J Hum Genet 68:927–936, 2001 ; Jawaheer et…

Single-pulse stimulation of the perirhinal cortex (PRC) evoked field responses in the dorsal hippocampal CA1 region in urethane-anesthetized rats. In depth profiles conducted by moving the PRC stimulating electrode, the largest amplitude hippocampal potential was generated when the stimulating electrode was located within the perirhinal region. More dorsal (temporal cortex) or more ventral (lateral entorhinal cortex) stimulating sites elicited minimal hippocampal potentials.

Diluting bleach daily is time consuming and wastes bleach. We hypothesized that 10% bleach stored in low density polyethylene (LDPE) wash bottles would maintain sufficient chlorine concentration to be effective against the organisms used in the student laboratory anti blue ray glasses for five days, so that bleach could be diluted weekly instead of daily. Approximately 3 x 10(6) CFU of each bacterium were spotted to a laboratory bench…

Template based rotation was designed to leverage the stable spatial patterns of intrinsic connectivity derived from out-of-sample datasets by mapping data from novel sessions onto the previously defined a priori templates. We first demonstrate the feasibility of using previously defined a priori templates in connectivity analyses, and then compare the performance of template based rotation to seed based and dual regression methods by applying these analytic approaches to an fMRI dataset of…
