Characterization of Wolbachia enhancing domain in mosquitoes with imperfect maternal transmission
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2018 A novel method to reduce the burden of dengue is to seed wild mosquitoes with Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in dengue-endemic areas. Concerns in current mathematical models are to locate the Wolbachia introduction threshold.

Quantifying the survival uncertainty of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in a spatial model
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2018 Artificial releases of Wolbachia-infected Aedes mosquitoes have been under study in the past yearsfor fighting vector-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and zika.Several strains of this bacterium cause cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and can ...

Modeling of Replacement Alternatives for Power Transformer Populations [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2012 The age of the majority of power transformers installed in the western electricity network reaches 30 to 60 years and replacement on short term seems eminent. A technically sound policy concerning the replacement of these assets requires a model that estimates the life expectancies of individual components and from that calculates parameters related to

The time to decline: tracing a cohort’s descendants in below replacement populations
Genus, 2018 A number of contemporary populations are exhibiting sustained fertility at levels substantially below long-term replacement. Nonetheless, relatively few populations are actually diminishing in size.

Immigration and the prospects for long-run population decreases in European countries
Vienna Yearbook of Population Research, 2023 Between 2009 and 2018, the total fertility rate fell in most European countries. In 2018, fertility was below the replacement level throughout Europe. Net migration was positive for two-thirds of European countries.

Association between urinary sodium, creatinine, albumin, and long term survival in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2014 Dietary sodium intake is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular risk in the general population. In patients with chronic kidney disease, sodium intake has been associated with progressive renal disease, but not independently of proteinuria.
