    • Am I too fat? Bulimia as an epidemic 

      Kribs, Christopher; Gonzalez, Beverly; Huerta-Sanchez, Emilia; Ortiz-Nieves, Angela; Vazquez-Alvarez, Terannie (ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2003)
      For at least the past ten years, eating disorders have had a major impact in the physical and mental health of women, particularly young women. Anorexia and bulimia nervosa are closely linked eating disorders. Anorexia ...

    • The convergence of difference boxes 

      Kribs, Christopher; Behn, Antonio; Ponomarenko, Vadim (Mathematical Association of AmericaDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2005)
      We consider an elementary mathematical puzzle known as a "difference box" in terms of a discrete map from R⁴ to R⁴ or , canonically, from a subset of the first R² into itself. We identify the map's unique canonical fixed ...

    • Evaluating treatment of Hepatitis C for hemolytic anemia management 

      Kribs, Christopher; DebRoy, Swati; Mubayi, Anuj; Cardona-Melendez, Gloriell M.; Medina-Rios, Liana; Kang, MinJun; Diaz, Edgar (ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2010)
      The combination therapy of antiviral peg-interferon and ribavirin has evolved as one of the better treatments for Hepatitis-C. In spite of its success in controlling Hepatitis-C infection, it has also been associated with ...

    • The role of the ratio of vector and host densities in the evolution of transmission modes in vector-borne diseases. The example of sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi 

      Kribs, Christopher; Pelosse, Perrine (Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2012)
      Pathogens may use different routes of transmission to maximize their spread among host populations. Theoretical and empirical work conducted on directly-transmitted diseases suggest that horizontal (i.e., through host ...

    • SENDing MORE MONEY in any base 

      Kribs, Christopher (Mathematical Association of AmericaDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2006)
      One of the most significant conceptual jumps involved in algebra is the use of letters (and other symbols) to represent numbers. One way to get students used to this notion is via puzzles. This paper describes a ...

    • Transmission dynamics and underreporting of Kala-azar in the Indian State of Bihar 

      Kribs, Christopher; Mubayi, Anuj; Castillo-Chavez, Carlos; Chowell, Gerardo; Ali Siddiqui, Niyamat; Kumar, Narendra; Das, Pradeep (Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2010)
      "Kala-azar" (or Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis) is a vector-borne infectious dis- ease affecting communities in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Bihar, a state in India, has one of the highest prevalence and ...
