THE BASIC REPRODUCTION NUMBER $R_0$ AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REACTIVE INTERVENTIONS DURING DENGUE EPIDEMICS: THE 2002 DENGUE OUTBREAK IN EASTER ISLAND, CHILE

We use a stochastic simulation model to explore the effect of reactive intervention strategies during the 2002 dengue outbreak in the small population of Easter Island, Chile.We quantified the effect of interventions on the transmission dynamics and epidemic size as a function of the simulated control intensity levels and the timing of initiation o

Collagen fibrils were reconstituted in vitro from type I collagen solution.The reconstituted collagen fibrils and chondroitin sulfate B were deposited alternately.The adsorbed weight of the collagen fibrils and chondroitin sulfate B was measured using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and their microstructure was observed using an atomic Recycle-
