We present tools and definitions to study abstract tropical manifolds in dimension 2, which we call simply tropical surfaces. This includes explicit descriptions of intersection numbers of 1-cycles, normal bundles to some curves and tropical Chern cycles and numbers.

The global fight to develop antipoverty vaccines in the anti-vaccine era
Antipoverty vaccines are the vaccines targeting a group of approximately 20 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Publication and Historical Significance of Modern Chinese Medical Reports [PDF]
Unlike Western medical journals such as The Lancet which focused on Western-centric medical cases, Medical Reports analyzed medical and sanitary issues in East Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan and sought solutions to these problems.

Tropical linear spaces and tropical convexity [PDF]
In classical geometry, a linear space is a space that is closed under linear combinations. In tropical geometry, it has long been a consensus that tropical varieties defined by valuated matroids are the tropical analogue of linear spaces. It is not difficult to see that each such space is tropically convex, i.e.

Parasitic Diseases of Upper Gastrointestinal Tract [PDF]
Korea was a hotspot for parasitic infections until modern times. However, following economic development, improved health and hygiene and farming methods, and successful implementation of active deworming programs, human parasites are rare.

Smooth tropical surfaces with infinitely many tropical lines [PDF]
We study the tropical lines contained in smooth tropical surfaces in R^3. On smooth tropical quadric surfaces we find two one-dimensional families of tropical lines, like in classical algebraic geometry. Unlike the classical case, however, there exist smooth tropical surfaces of any degree with infinitely many tropical lines.

Geometry over the tropical dual numbers [PDF]
We introduce tropical dual numbers as an extension of tropical semiring. By this innovation, one can work with honest ideals, instead of congruences, and recover the Euclidean topology on affine tropical spaces similar to Zariski's approach in classical algebraic geometry.

Varieties of Tropical Ideals are Balanced [PDF]
Tropical ideals, introduced in arXiv:1609.03838, define subschemes of tropical toric varieties. We prove that the top-dimensional parts of their varieties are balanced polyhedral complexes of the same dimension as the ideal. This means that every subscheme of a tropical toric variety defined by a tropical ideal has an associated class in the Chow ring ...
