The connection between scientific knowledge and environmental policy is enhanced through boundary organizations objects that are perceived to be credible, salient, legitimate. In this study, water resource decision-makers evaluated the embedded in WaterSim, an interactive simulation model of supply demand presented immersive decision theater. Content analysis individual responses demonstrated stakeholders were fairly critical model’s validity, relevance, bias. Differing perspectives reveal...
WaterSim, a simulation model, was built and implemented to investigate how alternative climate conditions, rates of population growth, policy choices interact affect future water supply demand conditions in Phoenix, AZ. WaterSim is hierarchical model that represents from surface groundwater sources residential, commercial, agricultural user sectors, incorporating the rules govern reservoirs, aquifer use, land-use change. In this paper we: (1) report on imperative for exploratory modeling...
Focus groups have gained a reputation for facilitating data collection about sensitive topics. However, we know little how focus group methods perform compared to individual response formats, particularly The goal of this study is assess well when responses collected using open-ended self-administered questionnaires policy-making topics among water decision makers in Phoenix, Arizona. analysis compares and questionnaire fifty-five three types topics: competence, risk, gatekeeping. results...
To examine public knowledge, perceptions, and preparedness for the 2009 influenza A/H1N1 pandemic.We conducted a telephone survey of selected households in Arizona during month October 2009.Among 727 interviewed, one-third (34%) were not aware that terms swine flu H1N1 refer to same virus. Many believed it is more difficult contract (27%) than seasonal (14%). About three-quarters respondents perceived situation as urgent (76%), but only about those surveyed family member would get sick with...
Resilience and the ability to mitigate consequences of a nuclear incident are enhanced by (1) effective planning, preparation training; (2) ongoing interaction, formal exercises, evaluation among sectors involved; (3) timely response communication; (4) continuous improvements based on new science, technology, experience, ideas. Public health medical planning require complex, multi-faceted systematic approach involving federal, state, local, tribal, territorial governments; private sector...
Pandemic influenza preparedness plans strongly focus on efficient mitigation strategies including social distancing, logistics and medical response. These are formed by multiple decision makers before a pandemic outbreak during the in local communities, states nation-wide. In this paper, we model spread of community, university, evaluate policies. Since development an appropriate vaccine requires significant amount time available antiviral quantities can only cover relatively small...
Beginning in March 2020, the United States emerged as global epicenter for COVID-19 cases with little to guide policy response absence of extensive data available reliable epidemiological modeling early phases pandemic. In ensuing weeks, American jurisdictions attempted manage disease spread on a regional basis using non-pharmaceutical interventions (i.e., social distancing), uneven burden across expansive geography exerted different implications management regions. While Arizona...
This study investigated the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among adults over 18 years. Prospective cohort study. A large public university. took volunteers 5 days and recruited 1064 adult participants. Seroprevalence SARS-CoV-2-specific due to previous exposure and/or vaccination. The antireceptor binding domain (RBD) antibody was 90% by a lateral flow assay 88% semiquantitative chemiluminescent immunoassay. for antinucleocapsid 20%. In addition, individuals with natural COVID-19...
Similar to the triaging of patients by health care workers, legal and public professionals must prioritize respond issues law ethics in declared emergencies. As revealed 2009-2010 H1N1 influenza outbreak other events, there are considerable inconsistencies among regarding how best approach these during a emergency. Our project explores attempting assess practitioners make ethical decisions real-time emergencies further critical objectives. Using fictitious scenario interactive visualization...
We conducted a community seroprevalence survey in Arizona, from September 12 to October 1, 2020, determine the presence of antibodies severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). used estimate predict SARS-CoV-2 infections jurisdiction by applying adjusted county's population. The estimated was 4.3 times greater (95% confidence interval = 2.2, 7.5) than number reported cases. Field surveys with representative sampling provide data that may help fill gaps traditional public...
Evolutionary systems on dual Banach spaces X = Z * are perturbed by cumulative outputs.The perturbation procedure involves solving Stieltjes operator integral equations.While either of the two families may or not be formed operators, case that output family does consist operators receives particular attention.Topologies identified in which both unperturbed and evolutionary system continuous functions time variables.The associated evolution semigroups integrated is an important intermediate...
Abstract Beginning in March 2020, the United States emerged as global epicenter for COVID-19 cases. In ensuing weeks, American jurisdictions attempted to manage disease spread on a regional basis using non-pharmaceutical interventions (i.e., social distancing), uneven burden across expansive geography of exerted different implications policy management regions. While Arizona policymakers relied initially state-by-state national modeling projections from groups outside state, we sought create...
Abstract Arizona State University (ASU) is one the largest universities in United States, with more than 79,000 students attending in-person classes. We conducted a seroprevalence study from September 13-17, 2021 to estimate number of people our community SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies due previous exposure SARS-CoV-2 and/or vaccination. Participants provided their age, gender, race, status (student or employee), and general COVID-19 health-related information like vaccination status. The...
This paper presents a prototype decision support system (DSS) that can be used to analyze municipal water portfolios using science-based climate models and regional scale urbanization scenarios. We present dynamics (SD) DSS, loosely coupled with geographic information (GIS) for portfolio scenario analysis Mesa, Arizona. The application demonstrates multi-scale, modular, spatial framework downscaling dynamic budget the specific of City Mesa. Climate change, population growth, surface...
