This means that as a pathogen's ...
If a model makes predictions that are out of line with observed results and the mathematics is correct, the initial assumptions must change to make the model useful. [ 13 ] Rectangular and stationary age distribution , i.e., everybody in the population lives to age L and then dies, and for each age (up to L ) there is the same number of people ...

[4] Her publications include eight textbooks and 50 scholarly writings. [1] She married Albert Pender, a business and economics professor. They had two children. [2]
