TL;DR: The findings indicate that the current malaria control program should be carefully reconsidered, in terms of, individual instruction, current chemoprophylaxis program regimens, and schedules to improve the efficacy of prophylaxis in the ROK military.

TL;DR: The magnitude of effectiveness of H1N1pdm09 vaccine in the 2010–2011 season in an outbreak setting was lower than estimated in the 2009–2010 season.
Abstract: Objectives
In December 2010, there was an outbreak of acute febrile respiratory disease in many Korean military camps that were not geographically related. A laboratory analysis confirmed a number of these cases to be infected by the pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 (H1N1pdm09) virus. Because mass vaccination against H1N1pdm09 was implemented at the infected military camps eleven months ago, the outbreak areas in which both vaccinated and nonvaccinated individuals were well mixed, gave us an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of H1N1pdm09 vaccine through a retrospective cohort study design.

TL;DR: The bit error rate analysis obtained in this paper facilitates predicting the performance of various space-frequency pre-filtering schemes without massive simulations.
Abstract: We analyze the performance of joint space-frequency pre-filtering and equalization techniques for downlink multi-carrier code division multiple access in terms of average bit error rate performance. Several linear power allocation strategies combined with single-user equalization schemes are compared with a joint pre-filtering with an equal power constraint at the base station and maximal ratio combining at the mobile terminals. Our bit error rate analysis obtained in this paper facilitates predicting the performance of various space-frequency pre-filtering schemes without massive simulations.
