Support Vector Machine-Based Fire Outbreak Detection System [PDF]
This study employed Support Vector Machine (SVM) in the classification and prediction of fire outbreak based on a fire outbreak dataset captured from the Fire Outbreak Data Capture Device (FODCD). The fire outbreak data capture device (FODCD) used was developed to capture the environmental parameters values used in this work. The FODCD device comprised

Outbreak Column 22: How to manage an outbreak [PDF]
This outbreak column uses the Health Protection Scotland (HPS) Outbreak Process and Algorithm to examine and reflect on a published outbreak report. The report involved an extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in an oncology unit. High-reliability theory is then used to reflect on how the outbreak was managed and consider how best to ...

Summary In response to the SARS‐CoV‐2 (Covid‐19) pandemic, multiple calls were made for the better use of various tools developed in many disparate academic disciplines. Included in these calls were claims that techniques used widely across ecological sciences could be better capitalized on, despite a rich and longstanding history of including ecology ...

Outbreak Investigations—A Perspective [PDF]
Outbreak investigations, an important and challenging component of epidemiology and public health, can help identify the source of ongoing outbreaks and prevent additional cases. Even when an outbreak is over, a thorough epidemiologic and environmental investigation often can increase our knowledge of a given disease and prevent future outbreaks ...

Mexican consumers' attitudes toward irradiated and imported apples
Abstract This study centers on analyzing Mexican consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for imported US fresh apples subjected to irradiation, contrasting it with the more prevalent postharvest chemical treatments. We collect data using a survey tool in Qualtrics designed to explore the impact of information dissemination through two distinct narrative ...

Containing COVID-19 outbreaks using a Firewall [PDF]
COVID-19 outbreaks have proven to be very difficult to isolate and extinguish before they spread out. An important reason behind this might be that epidemiological barriers consisting in stopping symptomatic people are likely to fail because of the contagion time before onset, mild cases and/or asymptomatics carriers.

Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had profound consequences for the global economy. As both countries are major commodity exporters, the food value chain was also affected. This study investigates the impact of the invasion on stock prices, profitability and sentiments of agribusinesses along the food supply chain by using an ...

Intrinsic Unpredictability of Epidemic Outbreaks on Networks [PDF]
It has been known that epidemic outbreaks in the SIR model on networks are described by phase transitions. Despite the similarity with percolation transitions, whether an epidemic outbreak occurs or not cannot be predicted with probability one in the thermodynamic limit. We elucidate its mechanism by deriving a simple Langevin equation that captures an
