Effectiveness of reactive case detection for malaria elimination in three archetypical transmission settings: a modelling study

Abstract Background Reactive case detection could be a powerful tool in malaria elimination, as it selectively targets transmission pockets.However, field operations have yet to demonstrate under which conditions, if any, reactive case detection is best poised to push a region to elimination.This study uses mathematical modelling to assess how base

Development of human-in-the-loop experiment system to extract evacuation behavioral features: A case of evacuees in nuclear emergencies

Evacuation time estimation (ETE) is crucial for the effective implementation of resident protection measures as well as planning, owing to its applicability to nuclear emergencies.However, as confirmed in the Fukushima case, the ETE performed by nuclear operators does not reflect behavioral features, exposing thus, gaps that are likely to appear in
