Improving year-round protection against influenza infection in the tropics by Young, Barnaby

“…Vaccination is the main pharmacological method available to reduce transmission and prevent infection, but evidence that vaccine induced protection with the standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine lasts year-round is lacking. This thesis presents a review of influenza epidemiology in Asia and the association between the pattern of seasonality and latitude and climate; a systematic review and meta-analysis of test-negative design (TND) case-control studies in order to generate summary estimates of changes in vaccine effectiveness with time since vaccination; results of a cohort study that investigates whether there is evidence for waning vaccine protection against severe influenza in Singapore; an observer-blind randomised clinical trial of annual versus biannual influenza vaccination in older adults, and further analysis of predictors of waning antibody titres post-vaccination.…”

Modulation schemes for the audio beam system : fixed-point analysis, simulation and implementation by Seth, Abhishek

“…Directional sound can be created by modulating an audible signal onto an ultrasonic carrier and projecting the modulated signal via special types of ultrasonic transducer to generate the parametric array through air, in such a way that audible sound can travel in a column of sound beams. The device that generates this phenomenon is generally referred to as the parametric loudspeaker. …”

The effects of Indonesia's ‘Midwife in the Village’ programme 10 years post-launch by Triyana, Margaret

“…Data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (1993–2000) were used to examine whether the effects of the Indonesian ‘Midwife in the Village’ programme persisted more than 10 years after its implementation. The study followed up earlier studies of the programme’s effects by estimating its effects on pregnancy outcomes, using propensity-score matching applied to data collected after the 1997 Asian economic crisis. …”
