The Height of List-tries and TST [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2007 We characterize the asymptotics of heights of the trees of de la Briandais and the ternary search trees (TST) of Bentley and Sedgewick. Our proof is based on a new analysis of the structure of tries that distinguishes the bulk of the tree, called the ...

Screening for Tuberculosis in Health Care Workers. Experience in an Italian Teaching Hospital [PDF]
, 2017 Health care workers (HCW) are particularly at risk of acquiring tuberculosis (TB), even in countries with low TB incidence. Therefore, TB screening in HCW is a useful prevention strategy in countries with both low and high TB incidence.

Modelling the consequences of targeted selective treatment strategies on performance and emergence of anthelmintic resistance amongst grazing calves [PDF]
, 2016 The development of anthelmintic resistance by helminths can be slowed by maintaining refugia on pasture or in untreated hosts. Targeted selective treatments (TST) may achieve this through the treatment only of individuals that would benefit most from ...

Lessons learned from continued TB outbreaks in a high school. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We investigated the aftereffects of confirmatory QuantiFERON testing (QFT) added to a positive tuberculin skin test (TST). We reviewed the pre and post course of sequential tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in a high school where massive 43 active TB cases had

Path sampling for lifetimes of metastable magnetic skyrmions and direct comparison with Kramers' method [PDF]
, 2020 We perform a direct comparison between Kramers' method in many dimensions -- i.e., Langer's theory -- adapted to magnetic spin systems, and a path sampling method in the form of forward flux sampling, as a means to compute collapse rates of metastable ...

Test of variational transition state theory against accurate quantal results for a reaction with very large reaction-path curvature and a low barrier [PDF]
, 1984 We present three sets of calculations for the thermal rate constants of the collinear reaction I+HI-->IH+I: accurate quantum mechanics, conventional transition state theory (TST), and variational transition state theory (VTST). This reaction differs from
