The Relationship Between Community Networks and Population-Level Outcomes
(2024-06-25)Social care networks are partnerships of organizations that coordinate, share resources, and refer individuals to services. Resilient communities often have strong provider networks dedicated to solving issues related to ... -
Network Meta-Metrics: Using Evolutionary Computation to Identify Effective Indicators of Epidemiological Vulnerability in a Livestock Production System Model
(SimSoc Consortium, 2019-03-31)We developed an agent-based susceptible/infective model which simulates disease incursions in the hog production chain networks of three U.S. states. Agent parameters, contact network data, and epidemiological spread ... -
Willingness to Comply With Biosecurity in Livestock Facilities: Evidence From Experimental Simulations
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-03)Disease in U.S. animal livestock industries annually costs over a billion dollars. Adoption and compliance with biosecurity practices is necessary to successfully reduce the risk of disease introduction or spread. Yet, a ... -
Risk Attitudes Affect Livestock Biosecurity Decisions With Ramifications for Disease Control in a Simulated Production System
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-24)Hog producers' operational decisions can be informed by an awareness of risks associated with emergent and endemic diseases. Outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) have been re-occurring every year since the ... -
Using experimental gaming simulations to elicit risk mitigation behavioral strategies for agricultural disease management
(PLOS ONE, 2020-03-17)Failing to mitigate propagation of disease spread can result in dire economic consequences for agricultural networks. Pathogens like Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, can quickly spread among producers. Biosecurity is ... -
Effects of Social Cues on Biosecurity Compliance in Livestock Facilities: Evidence From Experimental Simulations
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-26)Disease outbreaks in U.S. animal livestock industries have economic impacts measured in hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Biosecurity, or procedures intended to protect animals against disease, is known to be ... -
Emulating Agricultural Disease Management: Comparing Risk Preferences Between Industry Professionals and Online Participants Using Experimental Gaming Simulations and Paired Lottery Choice Surveys
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-17)Mitigating the spread of disease is crucial for the well-being of agricultural production systems. Implementing biosecurity disease prevention measures can be expensive, so producers must balance the costs of biosecurity ... -
Message Delivery Strategy Influences Willingness to Comply With Biosecurity
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-24)As the Covid-19 pandemic continues worldwide, it has become increasingly clear that effective communication of disease transmission risks associated with protective behaviors is essential, and that communication tactics ... -
Compost Quality and Markets Are Pivotal for Sustainability in Circular Food-Nutrient Systems: A Case Study of Sri Lanka
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-18)Sustainable management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a critical issue around the world, especially in South Asia where waste generation is expected to double by 2050. Closing the food-nutrient cycle through composting ... -
Climate Change-Legacy Phosphorus Synergy Hinders Lake Response to Aggressive Water Policy Targets
