AbstractIn 2017, 46,157 and 3,127 new oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) cases were reported in the U.S. and Texas, respectively. About 70% of OPC were attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV). However, only 51% of U.S. and 43.5% of Texas adolescents have completed the HPV vaccine series. Therefore, modeling the demographic dynamics and transmission of HPV and OPC progression is needed for accurate estimation of the economic and epidemiological impacts of HPV vaccine in a geographic area. An age-structured population dynamic model was developed for the U.S. state of Texas. With Texas-specific model parameters calibrated, this model described the dynamics of HPV-associated OPC in Texas. Parameters for the Year 2010 were used as the initial values, and the prediction for Year 2012 was compared with the real age-specific incidence rates in 23 age groups for model validation. The validated model was applied to predict 100-year age-adjusted incidence rates. The public health benefits of HPV vaccine uptake were evaluated by computer simulation. Compared with current vaccination program, increasing vaccine uptake rates by 50% would decrease the cumulative cases by 4403, within 100 years. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of this strategy was $94,518 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Increasing the vaccine uptake rate by 50% can: (i) reduce the incidence rates of OPC among both males and females; (ii) improve the quality-adjusted life years for both males and females; (iii) be cost-effective and has the potential to provide tremendous public health benefits in Texas.

U.S. Navy and Rolls -Royce Allison have conducted a fleet evaluation of the Redundant Independent Mechanical Start System (RIMSS) and Full Authority Digital Control (FADC) installed aboard USS Porter (DDG 78), No. 2 Ship Service Gas Turbine Generator (SSGTG). The fleet evaluation has resulted in design, production and operational improvements, which would not have been quickly realized under normal implementation programs. A critical objective of the fleet evaluation demonstrated the system configuration and operational compatibility with existing shipboard environments over the course of a one-year period. This process evaluated the usability of the RIMSS and FADC interface by ships force and the performance of functions related to operation and troubleshooting. It also provided feedback from Navy users for improvements. This paper describes RIMSS and FADC fleet evaluation elements and the benefits derived from performing a fleet evaluation. Fleet evaluation findings aboard USS Porter have resulted in system improvements that were achieved prior to production. Cost savings to the U.S. Navy and the original equipment manufacturer will be realized through out the life cycle of the ships.
