Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.This study identified multiple areas for improvement in the regulatory risk assessment process. Conclusions based on predictive sensitization data should be made with caution, read‐across data from known sensitizers should be utilized, and epidemiological and patient threshold data should be prioritized in decision‐making.

Average reachability: A new metric to estimate epidemic growth considering the network structure and epidemic severity [PDF]
Network Biology, 2019 It is a fundamental issue to find a small subset of individuals in a complex network such that their immunization (i.e. removal) minimizes epidemic growth in the network.

A Combined Model for Simulating the Spatial Dynamics of Epidemic Spread: Integrating Stochastic Compartmentalization and Cellular Automata Approach [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management SciencesThis research focuses on a combined simulation model for analyzing the spatial distribution of epidemics by combining the global mixing assumption of individuals with two-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata (CA). The model presented in this paper

Macroeconomic forecasting during recessions and expansions in the US and the euro area
Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract This study systematically evaluates forecasting performance of 11 Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) and 2 Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) models during recessions and expansions in the US and the euro area. Results show that no single model dominates: parsimonious models perform well in stable periods and at short horizons ...
