Ross Macdonald, Redivivus?
Get PDFRoss Macdonald, the author of eighteen Lew Archer novels in the 1950s through the 1970s, seems to be undergoing a revival of interest. After a definitive biography appeared in 1999, the Library of America, a sure benchmark of literary recognition, released in 2015 the first of three volumes devoted to his fiction; the same year saw the publication of his letters to and from Eudora Welty; and in 2016 Fantagraphics Books issued Macdonald’s marathon interviews with Paul Nelson. During his lifetime this author of detective fiction had both ardent champions and occasional detractors, but an examination of The Doomsters (1958), The Galton Case (1959), The Far Side of the Dollar (1965), and The Goodbye Look (1969) reinforces the judgment of Bernard A. Schopen, a scholar writing four years before Macdonald’s death, that his work “fully deserves evaluation as literature” and “purposeful art,” not least because of his trenchant critique of the American Dream

Ross, macdonald, and a theory for the dynamics and control of mosquito-transmitted pathogens.
Get PDFRonald Ross and George Macdonald are credited with developing a mathematical model of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission. A systematic historical review suggests that several mathematicians and scientists contributed to development of the Ross-Macdonald model over a period of 70 years. Ross developed two different mathematical models, Macdonald a third, and various "Ross-Macdonald" mathematical models exist. Ross-Macdonald models are best defined by a consensus set of assumptions. The mathematical model is just one part of a theory for the dynamics and control of mosquito-transmitted pathogens that also includes epidemiological and entomological concepts and metrics for measuring transmission. All the basic elements of the theory had fallen into place by the end of the Global Malaria Eradication Programme (GMEP, 1955-1969) with the concept of vectorial capacity, methods for measuring key components of transmission by mosquitoes, and a quantitative theory of vector control. The Ross-Macdonald theory has since played a central role in development of research on mosquito-borne pathogen transmission and the development of strategies for mosquito-borne disease prevention
Ross Macdonald: Un modelo para la dinámica del dengue en Cali, Colombia
Get PDFEl dengue es una infección transmitida por mosquitos que se presenta en todas las regiones tropicales y subtropicales del planeta. En años recientes, la transmisión ha aumentado de manera predominante en zonas urbanas y semiurbanas y se ha convertido en un importante problema de salud pública. El Instituto Nacional de Salud, INS, ubicó a Cali como el municipio con más casos de dengue en Colombia. De acuerdo con el INS, en la ciudad de Cali, hasta la semana epidemiológica 18 (del 28 de abril al 4 de mayo de 2013), se han notificado 5.134 casos de dengue y 171 de dengue grave.En este trabajo se presenta la descripción del modelo Ross-Macdonald, el análisis cualitativo de dicho modelo, y el análisis de sensibilidad del modelo a cambios en sus parámetros. Y base en el ajuste del modelo obtenido para los casos presentados en el 2010, se hacen y analizan simulaciones de posibles escenarios de brotes epidémicos en la ciudad de Cali
