Large benthic symbiotic foraminifera biodiversity as means of propagules distribution
By Patricia Beck Eichler-Barker
Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Brazil
Published: Mar 27, 2023 | pg. no: 1-26
Abstract: The study indicates that both multivariate analyses and the FORAM index (FI) are dependable tools for evaluating water quality and reef health on coral reefs. The occurrence of foraminifera in reef areas is influenced by factors such as hydrodynamics and reworking processes. The abundance of smaller and stress-tolerant foraminifera, and the absence of symbiont-bearing taxa, suggesting unfavorable ...[Read more]

Likelihood-Based Estimation of Dynamic Transmission Model Parameters for Seasonal Influenza by Fitting to Age and Season Specific ILI Data
By Michael Waithaka
University of Hasselt, Belgium
Published: Mar 24, 2017 | pg. no: 1-15
Abstract: Mathematical models provide important practical insights into the epidemiology of infectious diseases, and concepts derived from such models are widely used in the design of infection control programmes. This project was aimed at directly estimating the parameters of a dynamic transmission model using likelihood-based estimation methods, by fitting the model to age-specific influenza-like-illness ...[Read more]
