Determinants of sexual transmission of HV: implications for control [PDF]
The extent to which ART (anti-retroviral therapy) reduces HIV transmission has received attention in recent years. Using data on the relationship between transmission and viral load we show that transmission saturates at high viral loads. We fit a power-law model and an exponential converging to an asymptote.

Parallel Opportunistic Routing in Wireless Networks [PDF]
We study benefits of opportunistic routing in a large wireless ad hoc network by examining how the power, delay, and total throughput scale as the number of source- destination pairs increases up to the operating maximum. Our opportunistic routing is novel in a sense that it is massively parallel, i.e., it is performed by many nodes simultaneously to ...
