Introduction: Nipah virus is considered a biosafety level-4 pathogen that is endemic to bats of the genus Pteropus. Infection in humans presents clinically as febrile encephalitis with an extremely high case-fatality rate (78.2%). Outbreaks of Nipah virus infection have occurred…
Working prototypes of a Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle (HHV) are already under testing and investigation. One of the problems reported from testing is that the noise levels emitted by the hydraulic system are not acceptable. Therefore, there is a need to perform extensive research to …
Bu çalışmada lise öğrencilerinin matematiksel modelleme becerilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada aşağıdaki sorulara cevap aranmıştır: • Lise öğrencilerinin mantık konusundaki matematik başarısı hangi düzeydedir? • Lise öğrencilerinin matematiksel modelleme becerile…
A highly selective and rapid optical sensing approach was previously demonstrated as a potential non-invasive medical diagnostic method for real-time detection of acetone as a biomarker in human breath to determine the blood glucose level of the patients. The approach employed a…
Mathematical models that simulate the burden of disease and project health and economic outcomes under various scenarios can help policymakers decide how to optimally allocate resources. This dissertation uses simulation modeling to evaluate cervical cancer prevention policy and…
Synthetic biology (SB) has become an important field of science focusing on designing and engineering new biological parts and systems, or re-designing existing biological systems for useful purposes. The dramatic growth of SB throughout the past two decades has not only provide…
The U.S. has been FMD-free since 1929. The U.S. has a large beef industry with over 45% of cattle on-feed concentrated in feedlots with a one-time head capacity ≥32,000 cattle. The country has a complex production system in which there is a continuous flow of livestock. An incur…
