Large-scale spatial population databases in infectious disease research
Modelling studies on the spatial distribution and spread of infectious diseases are becoming increasingly detailed and sophisticated, with global risk mapping and epidemic modelling studies now popular. Yet, in deriving populations at risk of disease estimates, these spatial models must rely on existing global and regional datasets on population distribution, which are often based on outdated a...
متن کاملLarge scale body sensing for Infectious Disease Control
In the last decades, computer researchers have come up with several applications for wireless and sensor technology that are strongly focused on military activities, (personal and corporate) productivityenhancing processes, or entertainment, many of which, we believe, are less urgent than other global problems like Uncontrolled Population Growth, Non-sustainable use of natural resources, Natura...
متن کاملAn Emerging Infectious Disease Triggering Large-Scale Hyperpredation
Hyperpredation refers to an enhanced predation pressure on a secondary prey due to either an increase in the abundance of a predator population or a sudden drop in the abundance of the main prey. This scarcely documented mechanism has been previously studied in scenarios in which the introduction of a feral prey caused overexploitation of native prey. Here we provide evidence of a previously un...
متن کاملTowards Large Scale Replicated Databases
Databases are core components of modern distributed multi-tier information systems. In most of the cases, the database is the bottleneck of the system, limiting the scalability of the full system. This is the reason why database replication has demanded much attention during the last few years. However, current replication protocols rely on two facts that inherently limit their scalability to a...
متن کاملLarge-scale Multidimensional Coverage Databases
With GIS technology for Web-enabled vector and meta data access becoming mature, the next quest is towards fast, flexible services on extremely large raster data assets. Currently 2-D images (satellite imagery, ortho photos) prevail, but at the horizon higher-dimensional objects appear, such as 3-D time satellite image time series and seismic data, and 4-D climate simulations. At the same time,...
