The entire teachings of these applications are incorporated herein by reference.Influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands annually—millions in pandemic years. For example, three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans. Often, these new strains result from the spread of an existing influenza virus to humans from other animal species.Influenza is primarily transmitted from person to person via large virus-laden droplets that are generated when infected persons cough or sneeze; these large droplets can then settle on the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tracts of susceptible individuals who are near (e.g. within about 6 feet) infected persons. Transmission might also occur through direct contact or indirect contact with respiratory secretions, such as touching surfaces contaminated with influenza virus and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth. Adults might be able to spread influenza to others from 1 day before getting symptoms to approximately 5 days after symptoms start. Young children and persons with weakened immune systems might be infectious for 10 or more days after onset of symptoms.Influenza viruses are RNA viruses of the ...

For example, three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans. Often, these new strains result from the spread of an existing influenza virus to humans from other animal species.Influenza is primarily transmitted from person to person via large virus-laden droplets that are generated when infected persons cough or sneeze; these large droplets can then settle on the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tracts of susceptible individuals who are near (e.g. within about 6 feet) infected persons. Transmission might also occur through direct contact or indirect contact with respiratory secretions, such as touching surfaces contaminated with influenza virus and then ...

A method for determining the temperature-induced sag variation of the main cable and the tower-top horizontal displacement of suspension bridges takes the sag variation and the span variation of each span of the main cable as the unknown quantities. By using the horizontal tension equilibrium at the tower top, the geometric relationship between the shape and the length of the main cable, and the compatibility condition to be satisfied by the sum of spans of each span of the main cable, a linear system of equations is constructed. The linear system of equations is solved to obtain the temperature-induced sag variation of the main cable and the tower-top horizontal displacement of the suspension bridge. This method can be extended to the temperature deformation analysis of the other cable systems with any number of spans such as transmission lines, ropeways, and the like. 2.
