โœฆ Synopsis

In this paper, we propose a continuous time model for modelling the spread of HIV in a network of prisons. We give some sufficient conditions for the equilibrium points of the system to be stable. We also develop an efficient algorithm based on Newton's method and the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula for computing the equilibrium values of the infectives in each prison.

This note considers the spread of HIV in a single prison where there is a constant rate of departure and replacement of prisoners. Some of the incoming prisoners will be HIV , and homogeneous mixing within the prison is assumed. HIV is thus spread sexually or by the sharing of intravenous drug users

This work describes the implementation of the Point Spread Function in an iterative reconstruction algorithm for PET and presents some validation results on the new algorithm. A new prior for a variational regularization is also proposed to control the noise and to allow the number of iterations to
