Abstract

Here, emerging pathogens such as Zika, chikungunya, Ebola, and dengue viruses are serious threats to national and global health security. Accurate forecasts of emerging epidemics and their severity are critical to minimizing subsequent mortality, morbidity, and economic loss. The recent introduction of chikungunya and Zika virus to the Americas underscores the need for better methods for disease surveillance and forecasting.

Summary of the 2014 Sandia V&V Challenge Workshop

Journal Article Schroeder, Benjamin B. ; Hu, Kenneth T. ; Mullins, Joshua Grady ; ... - Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification

A discussion of the five responses to the 2014 Sandia Verification and Validation (V&V) Challenge Problem, presented within this special issue, is provided hereafter. Overviews of the challenge problem workshop, workshop participants, and the problem statement are also included. Brief summations of teams' responses to the challenge problem are provided. Issues that arose throughout the responses that are deemed applicable to the general verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) community are the main focal point of this paper. The discussion is oriented and organized into big picture comparison of data and model usage, VVUQ activities, and differentiating conceptual themes behindmore »« less

Introduction: The 2014 Sandia Verification and Validation Challenge Workshop [The 2014 Sandia Verification and Validation Challenge Workshop]

Journal Article Hu, Kenneth T. ; Carnes, Brian ; Romero, Vicente - Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification

The 2014 Sandia Verification & Validation Challenge Workshop was held at the 3rd ASME Verification & Validation Symposium in Las Vegas, on May 5-8, 2014. The workshop was built around a challenge problem, formulated as an engineering investigation that required integration of experimental data, modeling and simulation, and verification and validation. The challenge problem served as a common basis for the ASME Journal of Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification participants to both demonstrate methodology and explore a critical aspect of the field: the role of verification and validation in establishing credibility and supporting decision making. Ten groups presented responses tomore »« less

Clinical Features of and Risk Factors for Fatal Ebola Virus Disease, Moyamba District, Sierra Leone, December 2014–February 2015

Journal Article Haaskjold, Yngvar Lunde ; Bolkan, Hakon Angell ; Krogh, Kurt Osthuus ; ... - Emerging Infectious Diseases

The current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa has infected more than 28,000 people, killed more than 11,000 and disrupted social life. We studied retrospectively the clinical presentation and risk factors for fatal outcome among the 31 Ebola virus (EBV) positive patients admitted to the Ebola Treatment Center (ETC) in Moyamba District, Sierra Leone. We found a higher rate of bleeding manifestations than reported elsewhere during the current outbreak. Significant predictors for fatal outcome were shorter time from onset to admission, male sex, high viral load on initial lab test, severe pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, and developmentmore »« less

Constraints on the emission region of 3C 279 during strong flares in 2014 and 2015 through VHE γ-ray observations with H.E.S.S.

Journal Article Abdalla, H. ; Adam, R. ; Aharonian, F. ; ... - Astronomy and Astrophysics

The flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 is known to exhibit pronounced variability in the high-energy (100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) γ-ray band, which is continuously monitored with Fermi-LAT. During two periods of high activity in April 2014 and June 2015 target-of-opportunity observations were undertaken with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in the very-high-energy (VHE, E> 100 GeV) γ-ray domain. While the observation in 2014 provides an upper limit, the observation in 2015 results in a signal with 8.7σ significance above an energy threshold of 66 GeV. No VHE variability was detected during the 2015 observations. Themore »« less

Atmospheric and oceanic conditions and the extremely low Bothnian Bay sea ice extent in 2014/2015

Journal Article Uotila, Petteri ; Vihma, Timo ; Haapala, Jari - Geophysical Research Letters

The winter of 2014/2015 was the first for which we can be certain that the northernmost embayment of the Baltic Sea, the Bothnian Bay, remained partially ice-free. We assess atmospheric and oceanic drivers responsible for this extreme event. In terms of atmospheric drivers, mild Bothnian Bay winters are characterized by positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) associated with the advection of air from the North Atlantic. In winter 2014/2015, NAO was at a record high level and resulted in a northerly storm track associated with vigorous southwesterlies that drove ice toward the northeastern end of the bay. Furthermore, we found thatmore »« less
