A Small World Model for the Spread of Hiv Infection
It has long been recognised that the structure of social networks plays an important role in the dynamics of disease propagation. The spread of HIV usually results from a complex network of social interactions and other factors related to culture, sexual behaviour, demography, geography and disease characteristics, as well as the availability, accessibility and delivery of healthcare. The small...
متن کاملEvaluating a model for predicting active crown fire rate of spread using wildfire observations
We evaluated the predictive capacity of a rate of spread model for active crown fires (M.G. Cruz, M.E. Alexander, and R.H. Wakimoto. 2005. Can. J. For. Res. 35: 1626–1639) using a relatively large (n = 57) independent data set originating from wildfire observations undertaken in Canada and the United States. The assembled wildfire data were characterized by more severe burning conditions and fi...
متن کاملA heat transfer simulation model for wildfire spread
A new approach to fire spread simulation based on heat transfer events is described. The new simulation model is patch based with irregular patch shapes and sizes, which overcomes the influence of grid geometry on fire shape. It captures fire behaviour phenomena such as point fire acceleration and the dependence of fire rate of spread on line fire width. The new event based simulation model is ...
متن کاملCoexistence and spread of competitors in heterogeneous landscapes.
Competition between species is ubiquitous in nature and therefore widely studied in ecology through experiment and theory. One of the central questions is under which conditions a (rare) invader can establish itself in a landscape dominated by a resident species at carrying capacity. Applying the same question with the roles of the invader and resident reversed leads to the principle that "mutu...
متن کاملLearning a Bayesian network model for predicting wildfire behavior
A Bayesian network (BN) model for predicting wildfire spreading was developed. From the available indicator variables related to weather, topography and land cover, the most informative were selected with the help of automatic structure learning algorithms. A final BN model was then constructed from these indicators using phenomenological reasoning. Automatic structure learning of the complete ...
