The rapid process of industrialization and FDI in China over the past few years has resulted in degradation in air quality. This paper studies the effect of FDI and air pollution to health in China using the panel data of 30 cities from 2003 to 2006. The results show that FDI and SO2 has significantly positive effect to the mortality, while PM10 and NO2 doesn't have such significant effect, and there...
In our work aim to automate the knowledge discovery process. In this paper we present the INTCare system, an intelligent decision support system for intensive care medicine. INTCare is an agent based system that has (autonomous) agents responsible both for data acquisition and model updating thus reducing the need for human intervention. In the present, INTCare is predicting organ failure and probability...
Discrete-event simulation models are the current main tools for nation-building analysis due to the complexity of the problem. However, it is difficult to study the input-output relations in these models because of the numerous parameters as well as the complicated model structure. Model elicitation can be considered as an approximate study of the significant effects of the model without spending...
In predicting the spread of a disease such as smallpox, knowledge of R0, the transmission parameter in a population of susceptibles is important. Previous studies have estimated R0 from outbreaks of the disease, but these estimates are prone to uncertainties due to the small population sizes and the short data runs. This study uses data from smallpox deaths in London over the period 1708 to 1748....
