A Database Supported Modeling Environment for Pandemic Planning and Course of Action Analysis
… data, computational simulation of epidemic propagation processes and disease control strategies can help us understand the spatio-temporal dynamics of epidemics in the laboratory. Consequently, the public can be better prepared and the government can control future epidemic outbreaks more …

Optimization and decision strategies for medical preparedness and emergency response
… multifaceted nature of mass dispensing, (2) fast disease propagation module to allow immediate mitigation response to on-site uncertainties, and (3) user-friendly platform to facilitate modeling-solution integration and cross-domain collaboration. The work translates operations research …

Analysis and operations in complex networked systems: From urban infrastructure to epidemics
… infrastructure networks, and ii) infectious disease propagation dynamics and control in population contact networks. Under each topic, one or several studies are performed with different focuses to reveal insights on varies aspects of the real-world networked systems, and provide …

Modeling transmission heterogeneity for infectious disease outbreaks
The transmissibility of a given infectious disease is often described by its basic reproduction number (Ro) - namely, the average number of secondary infections caused by an index case in a fully susceptible population. Typical approaches to modeling transmission dynamics associated with infectious …

A Distributed Approach to EpiFast using Apache Spark
… based on an interpretation of the stochastic disease propagation in a contact network. The original EpiFast implementation is based on a master-slave computation model with a focus on distributed memory using message-passing-interface (MPI). However, it suffers from few shortcomings with …

Infection processes on networks with structural uncertainty
… consequences of human interaction patterns for disease propagation. The research often focuses on a single question: will an emerging infection become an epidemic? This thesis clarifies the relationships among different epidemic threshold criteria in deterministic disease models, and discusses …

A Semantic Web-Based Digital Library Infrastructure to Facilitate Computational Epidemiology
… for epidemiologists as they work to comprehend disease propagation for timely outbreak detection and efficient disease control activities.

Influence of Weight Loss on Metabolic and Mitochondrial Function in the Mature Horse
… may contribute individually to development and disease propagation along with athletic performance of the equine athlete. Lack of changes in circulating markers along with minimal changes in minimal model parameters suggest that while horses were obese, metabolic function was conserved. Further …

On the aberrant nature of tau protein: biophysical approaches to characterise and target aggregation in neurodegeneration
… therapeutics that can modify the course of the disease. To achieve this, we have combined the advantages of metadynamic structural biology and bioorthogonal chemistry to investigate the relative contributions of site-specific PTMs to the stability of tau-microtubule interactions. Our …
