Realistic assumptions about spatial locations and clustering of premises matter for models of foot-and-mouth disease spread in the United States [PDF]
, 2020 Spatially explicit livestock disease models require demographic data for individual farms or premises. In the U.S., demographic data are only available aggregated at county or coarser scales, so disease models must rely on assumptions about how ...

Electromechanical Transmission
Applied Science and Innovative Research, 2021 The article is to propose an entirely new transmission scheme. At a common practice that transmission parameters in a car change the gear ratio and the torque by five or six times. Taking into account the engine speed change, the actual gear ratio change is by more than twenty times. The torque cannot change within these limits.

Testing Modeling Assumptions in the West Africa Ebola Outbreak [PDF]
, 2016 The Ebola virus in West Africa has infected almost 30,000 and killed over 11,000 people. Recent models of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) have often made assumptions about how the disease spreads, such as uniform transmissibility and homogeneous mixing within ...

Investigations on the Dynamic Response of Adjacent Buildings Connected by Viscous Dampers
Buildings, 2022 This paper investigates the seismic performance of two adjacent buildings connected by viscous dampers. Three types of damper placement are discussed, including installing dampers within a single building, connecting two buildings at the same floor level,

Predicting the size and probability of epidemics in a population with heterogeneous infectiousness and susceptibility [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically address disease outbreaks in large, random networks with heterogeneous infectivity and susceptibility. The transmissibility $T_{uv}$ (the probability that infection of $u$ causes infection of $v$) depends on the infectivity of $u$ and the
