For a certain hazard, situational awareness is one of the most important factors in decision making (Zlatanova 2008), either before an event, based on planning simulations and preventive measures, or immediately after a disaster event through effective emergency management.
His main research focus involves simulation models of preventive interventions in cancer.
Many undefined issues in preventive medicine emerge from this pioneer simulation study.
These include offline dynamic simulation, online stability analysis and preventive control, real-time situational awareness and automatic emergency control.
Numerical simulations report that the optimal preventive expenditure shares for maximizing economic growth and social welfare would be 0.0119 and 0.0203, respectively, instead of the 0.0027 that is actually allocated as Fig. 1(a) and (b) show.
In these approaches, the outcomes of the simulation software can be used in preventive scheduling and decision support systems, but they need a great deal of efforts to make a practical schedule by some expert production planners.
Simulation studies also suggest a secondary preventive effect (Schrag et al, 2000).
Taking this watershed as a practical example, we compare curative management measures, such as pond introduction, and preventive measures, namely conversion to organic farming practices, using model simulations.
Monte Carlo simulations revealed that a peer-driven preventive intervention ultimately reached final sample sizes of up to 18,409 individuals.
Finally, we conducted Monte Carlo simulations of peer-driven diffusion of a hypothetical preventive intervention within the observed network under varying starting conditions.
