ASSESSING THE RISK OF DENGUE VIRUS TRANSMISSION IN A NON-ENDEMIC CITY SURROUNDED BY ENDEMIC AND HYPERENDEMIC AREAS

Assessing the risk of dengue virus transmission in a non-endemic city surrounded by endemic and hyperendemic areas

Objective: To assess the potential risk of dengue transmission in a non-endemic city using a spatial epidemiological approach.Methods: Past dengue exposure of the general population was examined by dengue virus (DENV) IgG testing of archived samples from voluntary blood donors.Vector intensities were determined by local ovitrap index (OI).Analyses

Antenna Array Thinning Through Quantum Fourier Transform

Thinning antenna arrays through quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is proposed.Given the lattice of read more the candidate locations for the array elements, the problem of selecting which antenna location has to be either occupied or not by an array element is formulated in the quantum computing (QC) framework and then addressed with an ad-hoc design
