Experimental Reproduction of Accident Prone Area Using a Driving Simulator and Behavioral Analyses in Traffic Conflicts

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 2008
The Meihan highway linking Kameyama in Mie Prefecture and Tenri in Nara Prefecture is one of most accident-prone areas in Japan. Representative accident factors that have been identified for the Meihan highway are chronic speeding and complex road alignments, including many sharp curves and steep slopes.

Growth, competition and cooperation in spatial population genetics [PDF]

, 2012
We study an individual based model describing competition in space between two different alleles. Although the model is similar in spirit to classic models of spatial population genetics such as the stepping stone model, here however space is continuous ...

A class of pairwise models for epidemic dynamics on weighted networks [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, we study the $SIS$ (susceptible-infected-susceptible) and $SIR$ (susceptible-infected-removed) epidemic models on undirected, weighted networks by deriving pairwise-type approximate models coupled with individual-based network simulation ...

The Evolution of Language Groups among Cooperating Digital Predators [PDF]

, 2016
Many species of animals have evolved complex means for communicating with one another. Oftentimes, communication is essential for the execution of tasks that require cooperation between individuals, such as group hunting and mate selection.

Investigating Multi-Target Antiviral Compounds by Screening of Phytochemicals From Neem (Azadirachta indica) Against PRRSV: A Vetinformatics Approach

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a global health problem for pigs. PRRSV is highly destructive and responsible for significant losses to the swine industry. Vaccines are available but incapable of providing adequate and long-

Assessing COVID-19 vaccination strategies in varied demographics using an individual-based model

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
BackgroundNew variants of SARS-CoV-2 are constantly discovered. Administration of COVID-19 vaccines and booster doses, combined with the application of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), is often used to prevent outbreaks of emerging variants. Such

Optimal vaccination in a stochastic epidemic model of two non-interacting populations [PDF]

, 2014
Developing robust, quantitative methods to optimize resource allocations in response to epidemics has the potential to save lives and minimize health care costs. In this paper, we develop and apply a computationally efficient algorithm that enables us to

Simulation applications to support teaching and research in epidemiological dynamics

BMC Medical Education, 2022
Background An understanding of epidemiological dynamics, once confined to mathematical epidemiologists and applied mathematicians, can be disseminated to a non-mathematical community of health care professionals and applied biologists through simple-to ...

Exploring the evolution of a trade-off between vigilance and foraging in group-living organisms

, 2014
Despite the fact that grouping behavior has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear.
