by Alec Pawling In this dissertation, we address two problems associated with the development of an emergency response system that utilizes a cell phone network as a sensor network to facilitate the initiation and online validation of predictive simulations. Schoenharl [77] describes the simulation component of the emergency response system; this dissertation addresses two other significant com...

Structured extraction of emergency event information can effectively enhance the ability to respond events. This article focuses on extracting Chinese document-level events, which entails addressing two key issues in this field: related datasets and problem role overlapping between candidate entities, has been overlooked existing DEE (document-level extraction) studies that predominantly employ...

Emergency events arise when a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous threat affects normal life. Hence, knowing what is occurring during after emergency critical to mitigate the effect of incident on humans’ life, environment our infrastructures, as well inherent financial consequences. Social network utilization in event detection models can play an important role information shared users’ s...

Using a population-based self-controlled case series design, we examined data on children born between the years 2002 and 2009 in the province of Ontario, Canada. We specifically examined how socioeconomic status (SES) influences rates of adverse events following immunization (AEFI), defined as emergency room visits and / or hospital admissions. For vaccination at 2, 4 and 6 mo combined, the re...

INTRODUCTION The inflow of patients in emergency departments (ED) varies over time. If variations are not anticipated, accumulation of patients and treatment delay may occur. This may trigger adverse events causing excess mortality. The aim of this study was to determine if attending the ED after hours and during weekends was associated with an increased mortality. METHODS We examined the med...
