Many aspects of the complex interaction between HIV and the human immune system remain elusive. Our objective is to study these inter-actions, focusing on the speci c roles of langerhans cells (LCs) in HIV infection. In ...

The aim of this study is to model the progression of HIV/AIDS disease and evaluate the cost of the anti-retroviral therapy for an HIV infected patient under ART follow-up using Non homogeneous semi-Markov processes. States ...

In this paper, we formulate a smooth test of goodness-of-fit for a simple hypothesis about the baseline hazard function in recurrent-event models. The formulation is an extension of Neyman' s goodness-of-fit approach, ...

Untangling the dynamics between HIV and CD4 cellular populations and molecular interactions can be used to investigate the e fective points of interventions in the HIV life cycle. With that in mind,we propose and show the ...

Among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -infected adults and children in Africa, diarrheal disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the effectiveness of provision and home-based reinforcement ...

This study is concerned with the mathematical modeling for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission epidemics. The mathematical models are specified by stochastic differential equations that are solved by use of ...

Rainfall is of critical importance for many people particularly those whose livelihoods are dependent on rain fed agriculture. Methods of analysis of daily rainfall records based on Markov chain models have been available ...

One of the key reforms of the constitution is the establishment of devolution through the country’s government. It is in the current constitution and will only come into effect after the next general elections, when the ...
