Digital-twin-based multi-scale simulation supports urban emergency management: a case study of urban epidemic transmission

International Journal of Digital Earth
Improving emergency management capabilities is vital for sustainable cities. However, urban emergency management is a complex, giant system that interacts between urban virtual and real spaces, requiring simulation in the virtual space and feedback to ...

An Exploratory Study on the Simulation of Stochastic Epidemic Models

, 2020
A small number of people infected with a contagious disease in a large community can lead to the rapid spread of the disease by many of the people in that community, leading to an epidemic. Mathematical models of epidemics allow estimating several impacts on the population, such as the total and maximum number of people infected, as well as the ...

The effect of weekend curfews on epidemics: a Monte Carlo simulation

TURKISH JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, 2021
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is being responded with various methods, applying vaccines, experimental treatment options, total lockdowns or partial curfews. Weekend curfews is one of the methods to reduce the amount of infected persons and this method is practically applied in some countries such as Turkey. In this study, the effect of weekend curfews

Modeling Spatial Contacts for Epidemic Prediction in a Large-Scale Artificial City [PDF]

, 2016
Spatial contacts among human beings are considered as one of the influential factors during the transmission of contagious diseases, such as influenza and tuberculosis. Therefore, representing and understanding spatial contacts plays an important role in

Partnerships for Social Cohesion and Social Impact: How Corporate‐Community Co‐Development Constitutes an Impactful HR Initiative

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organizational scholars have begun to recognize the importance of social cohesion, but we know little about how it can lead to broader social impact, and even less about the role of human resource management (HRM) in these processes. To investigate this link, we examined corporate community co‐development as a particularly impactful HRM ...

Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection: Addressing strategies and future prospects

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection significantly simplifies workflows, reduces cross‐contamination risks, and shortens turnaround times, making it highly suitable for point‐of‐care testing (POCT) and resource‐limited settings. Key challenges include system compatibility issues between Cas proteins and isothermal amplification, limited multiplexing

Integrating Human Mobility Models with Epidemic Modeling: A Framework for Generating Synthetic Temporal Contact Networks

Entropy
High-resolution temporal contact networks are useful ingredients for realistic epidemic simulations. Existing solutions typically rely either on empirical studies that capture fine-grained interactions via Bluetooth or wearable sensors in confined ...

Curriculum Guidelines for Social and Behavioral Sciences in Predoctoral Dental Education

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social and behavioral sciences are an integral part of predoctoral dental education, given the important role of social and behavioral factors in oral health, dentist‐patient communication, the provision of person‐centered care, and patients’ experience of dental treatment and their treatment outcomes.
