An SIR Graph Growth Model for the Epidemics of Communicable Diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 It is the main purpose of this paper to introduce a graph-valued stochastic process in order to model the spread of a communicable infectious disease. The major novelty of the SIR model we promote lies in the fact that the social network on which the epidemics is taking place is not specified in advance but evolves through time, accounting for the ...

Deterministic Models in Epidemiology: From Modeling to Implementation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The abrupt outbreak and transmission of biological diseases has always been a long-time concern of humankind. For long, mathematical modeling has served as a simple and yet efficient tool to investigate, predict, and control spread of communicable diseases through individuals.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Inverse planning typically utilizes fast, less accurate dose calculation algorithms during the iterative optimization process, thus leading to dose calculation errors (DCEs) and suboptimal plans that often require dose normalization and/or plan re‐optimization.

Many-body methods in agent-based epidemic models [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) agent-based model is usually employed in the investigation of epidemics. The model describes a Markov process for a single communicable disease among susceptible (S) and infected (I) agents. However, the disease spreading forecasting is often restricted to numerical simulations, while analytic formulations ...

Commissioning a standalone adaptive radiotherapy linac in a multi‐vendor environment
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Current radiotherapy machines intended to perform streamlined online adaptive therapy are designed to be standalone, which makes it challenging to integrate them with the rest of the clinic. This work describes the installation of a standalone CT‐guided online adaptive system, the Varian Ethos, in a busy clinic utilizing products from multiple

Epidemics after Natural Disasters [PDF]
, 2007 The relationship between natural disasters and communicable diseases is frequently misconstrued. The risk for outbreaks is often presumed to be very high in the chaos that follows natural disasters, a fear likely derived from a perceived association ...
