Citrus greening disease (also known as Huanglongbing (HLB)) is an insect-borne disease worldwide, and it is the greatest threat to the global citrus industry, with no resistant commercial citrus varieties and no curable chemicals.In this paper, a stochastic SEII-SI compartmental model quad port fittings for the spread of HLB between its vector (psy
Context: Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) is a medical emergency, which warrants an early diagnosis and an aggressive therapy.Despite the availability of potent newer antibiotics, the mortality rate caused by acute bacterial meningitis remains significantly high in India and in other developing countries, which ranges from 16 - 32%.There is a need
The ChIP-seq signal of histone modifications at promoters is a good predictor of gene expression in different cellular contexts, but whether this is also true at enhancers is not clear.To address this issue, we develop quantitative models to characterize the relationship of gene expression with histone modifications at enhancers or promoters.We use
The genetic factors that give rise to variation in susceptibility to environmental toxins remain largely unexplored.Studies on genetic variation in susceptibility to environmental toxins are challenging in human populations, due to the variety of clinical symptoms and difficulty in determining which symptoms causally result from toxic exposure; unc
Abstract Background Rural sein?lle taitettava ty?p?yt? youth often begin developing polysubstance use and other risk behaviors during middle school.However, little polysubstance use research focuses on rural middle school youth.Our research uses Latent Class Analysis to understand existing patterns of rural middle school polysubstance use and risk
