Bisabololoxide derivatives from <em>Artemisia persica</em>, and determination of their absolute configurations by ECD (Publications)
Five antiplasmodial bisabololoxide sesquiterpene diesters were isolated from an EtOAc extract of the aerial parts of Artemisia persica following an HPLC-time-based activity profiling of the extract. S
Bayesian analysis of zero inflated spatiotemporal HIV/TB child mortality data through the INLA and SPDE approaches: applied to data observed between... (Publications)
Longitudinal mortality data with few deaths usually have problems of zero-inflation. This paper presents and applies two Bayesian models which cater for zero-inflation, spatial and temporal random eff
