Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 313-339, 2010., 2010 In this paper, we study a deterministic method for particle transport in biological tissues. The method is specifically developed for dose calculations in cancer therapy and for radiological imaging. Generalized Fokker–Planck (GFP) theory [Leakeas and Larsen, Nucl. Sci. Eng. 137 (2001), pp.

A statistical study of COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt
Demonstratio Mathematica, 2021 The spread of the COVID-19 started in Wuhan on December 31, 2019, and a powerful outbreak of the disease occurred there. According to the latest data, more than 165 million cases of COVID-19 infection have been detected in the world (last update May 19 ...

Correlation between Animal and Mathematical Models for Prostate Cancer Progression
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 241-252, 2009., 2009 This work demonstrates that prostate tumour progression in vivo can be analysed by using solutions of a mathematical model supplemented by initial conditions chosen according to growth rates of cell lines in vitro. The mathematical model is investigated and solved numerically.

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 45-51, 2006., 2006 Meta‐analysis is a widely used tool to synthesize the results of a set of primary studies leading to more powerful conclusions than those provided by isolated ones. To evaluate the effect of allocated radiotherapy, types of breast surgery and other risk factors over death risk in early breast cancer patients, we carried out a meta‐analysis using ...

An Equilibrium Assembly Model Applied to Murine Polyomavirus
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 91-93, 2005., 2005 In Keef et al., Assembly Models for Papovaviridae based on Tiling Theory (submitted to J. Phys. Biol.), 2005 [1] we extended an equilibrium assembly model to the (pseudo–)T = 7 viral capsids in the family of Papovaviridae providing assembly pathways for the most likely or primary intermediates and computing their concentrations.

On the use of L-functionals in regression models
Open Mathematics, 2023 In this article, we survey and unify a large class or LL-functionals of the conditional distribution of the response variable in regression models.

The Architecture of Viral Capsids Based on Tiling Theory
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 87-90, 2005., 2005 A vital constituent of a virus is its protein shell, called the viral capsid, that encapsulates and hence protects the viral genome. The surface structures of a large number of icosahedral viruses can be modelled via Caspar‐Klug Theory, which has hence become one of the fundamental concepts in virology. However, growing experimental evidence have shown

Posterior Predictive Checking for Partially Observed Stochastic Epidemic Models [PDF]
, 2023 We address the problem of assessing the fit of stochastic epidemic models to data. Two novel model assessment methods are developed, based on disease progression curves, namely the distance method and the position-time method. The methods are illustrated

Identification of causal intervention effects under contagion
Journal of Causal Inference, 2021 Defining and identifying causal intervention effects for transmissible infectious disease outcomes is challenging because a treatment – such as a vaccine – given to one individual may affect the infection outcomes of others. Epidemiologists have proposed

A Stochastic Model of Icosahedral Capsid Growth
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 95-97, 2005., 2005 A model of growth of icosahedral capsids is proposed. It is similar to the stochastic model of fullerene growth, but takes into account variations in the composition of pentamers and hexamers that are responsible for the final capsid size. We show that the observed high yield of capsid production implies a high level of self‐organization of the ...
