Collective Response of Human Populations to Large-Scale Emergencies
Despite recent advances in uncovering the quantitative features of stationary human activity patterns, many applications, from pandemic prediction to emergency response, require an understanding of how these patterns change when the population encounters unfamiliar conditions. To explore societal response to external perturbations we identified real-time changes in communication and mobility pa...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Collective Entity Matching
The difficult problem of Entity Matching (EM), i.e., determining whether different mentions of an entity refer to the same realworld object, has recently attracted a lot of attention from the Machine Learning (ML) research community. State-of-the-art solutions for EM are based on recent advances in ML, such as firstorder probabilistic models (e.g., Markov and Bayesian networks) and advanced pro...
متن کاملFlexible decision making in the wake of large scale nuclear emergencies: Long-term response
We develop a decision-making model that describes optimal protection and recovery strategies for a single economic location affected by radioactive release from the nearby Nuclear Power Plant. The initial period of release and deposition is characterised by high degrees of uncertainty, which is likely to lead to precautionary emergency measures being carried out regardless of the actual dangers...
متن کاملLarge-scale recombination rate patterns are conserved among human populations.
In humans, most recombination events occur in a small fraction of the genome. These hotspots of recombination show considerable variation in intensity and/or location across species and, potentially, across human populations. On a larger scale, the patterns of recombination rates have been mostly investigated in individuals of European ancestry, and it remains unknown whether the results obtain...
متن کاملThe Response of Fluvial Systems to Large Flood Events
In the summer of 2001, an intense thunderstorm in southeastern Caspian Sea triggered a catastrophic flood in the Madarsoo basin . Use of methods including high-resolution aerial photographs and satellite images interpretation, multi-date mapping, hydraulic calculations and field observations made possible the documentation of the geomorphic impacts on the Madarsoo River and its tributaries. Geo...
