Lyapunov functions for tuberculosis models with fast and slow progression by C. Connell Mccluskey

“…The spread of tuberculosis is studied through two models whichinclude fast and slow progression to the infected class. For each model, Lyapunovfunctions are used to show that when the basic reproduction numberis less than or equal to one, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptoticallystable, and when it is greater than one there is an endemic equilibriumwhich is globally asymptotically stable.…”

Evaluating the Performance of a Static Patching Strategy against Computer Viruses by Da-Wen Huang, Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang, Xiang Zhong, Yuan Yan Tang

“…Second, we show that the model is globally attracting, implying that regardless of the initial expected state of the network, the expected fraction of the infected nodes converges to the same value. Therefore, we use the asymptotic expected fraction of the infected nodes as the measure of performance of a static patching strategy. …”

Vitamin D in Early Childhood and the Effect on Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Anna Jane Battersby, Beate Kampmann, Sarah Burl

“…As early as birth a child is often deficient in vitamin D, which may not only affect their bone metabolism but also modulate their immune function, contributing to the increased susceptibility to many infections seen early in life. Recent studies have begun to explain the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects immunity. …”
