Analytic results for quantifying HIV infectivity
Abstract:
In a separate paper, we developed a mathematical model describing HIV infection and used it to suggest experiments for quantifying characteristic viral parameters. In this paper we generalize the model to any well-mixed assay system. We also present complete and rigorous derivations of fundamental results needed for the design and analysis of HIV infectivity assays. The model is applicable to infectious agents with multiple receptors for their target cell (e.g. HIV, Epstein-Barr virus and Plasmodium), and to blockers (both reversible and irreversible), as long as blocker and target cells are the same diffusion compartment.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
