Agent-based modeling of seasonal population movement and the spread of the 1918-1919 flu: the effect on a small community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
Agent-based modeling provides a new approach to the study of virgin soil epidemics like the 1918-1919 flu. By using this bottom-up simulation approach, a landscape can be created and populated with a heterogeneous group ...
Simulating prehistoric population dynamics and adaptive behavioral responses to the environment in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This project contributes to our understanding of human adaptability to environmental stress and climate change in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona from AD 800-1350. This was accomplished through the development ...
An analysis of the 1875-1877 scarlet fever epidemic of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
and socio-cultural context of cause of death reporting in order to examine if this initial reading is valid. A deterministic computer model was also created to analyze the effects of each factor on the overall course of the epidemic. Results suggest...
Agent-based modeling of the spread of the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu in three Canadian fur trading communities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In this project, an agent-based computer simulation was developed to model the spread of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic within and among three Aboriginal communities in central Manitoba. Data from model simulations ...
"Send only your serious cases" : delivering flu to Toronto: an anthropological analysis of the 1918-19 influenza epidemic in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
history. Many of the key findings of this work stem from the relationship between the Great War and the H1N1 strain responsible for Spanish flu. Soldiers appear to have brought the disease to Toronto and the conditions generated by the prolonged conflict...
