Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

The Pólya‐Aeppli process and ruin problems
The Pólya‐Aeppli process as a generalization of the homogeneous Poisson process is defined. We consider the risk model in which the counting process is the Pólya‐Aeppli process. It is called a Pólya‐Aeppli risk model. The problem of finding the ruin probability and the Cramér‐Lundberg approximation is studied.

Tree‐indexed processes: a high level crossing analysis
Consider a branching diffusion process on R1 starting at the origin. Take a high level u > 0 and count the number R(u, n) of branches reaching u by generation n. Let Fk,n(u) be the probability P(R(u, n) < k), k = 1, 2, …. We study the limit limn→∞Fk,n(u) = Fk(u).

New continuity estimates of geometric sums
The paper deals with sums of a random number of independent and identically distributed random variables. More specifically, we compare two such sums, which differ from each other in the distributions of their summands. New upper bounds (inequalities) for the uniform distance between distributions of sums are established.

On functionals of a marked Poisson process observed by a renewal process
We study the functionals of a Poisson marked process Π observed by a renewal process. A sequence of observations continues until Π crosses some fixed level at one of the observation epochs (the first passage time). In various stochastic models applications (such as queueing with N‐policy combined with multiple vacations), it is necessary to operate ...

A model for a dynamic preventive maintenance policy
This paper exhibits a stochastic model which describes the evolution of a material submitted to inspections. When an inspection takes place, a decision depending on the observed state of the material is taken. If the material is in “not too bad” state, no service is rendered, only the date of the next inspection is chosen. If the material is in a “bad”

On intensities of modulated Cox measures
In this paper we introduce and study functionals of the intensities of random measures modulated by a stochastic process ξ, which occur in applications to stochastic models and telecommunications. Modulation of a random measure by ξ is specified for marked Cox measures.

The failure rate in reliability: numerical treatment
This paper contains approximations and bounds of failure rate functions of redundant systems. We illustrate properties of these bounds and their accuracy.
