Pig herd management and infection transmission dynamics: a challenge for modellers by Sicard, Vianney, Picault, Sébastien, Andraud, Mathieu

“…We therefore developed a novel approach that combines Multi-Level Agent-Based Systems (MLABS) with spatial and temporal organization, allowing for a tuned representation of the transmission processes amongst the host population. We applied this method to model the spread of a PRRSv-like virus in pig farms, integrating the clinical consequences (conception and reproduction failures), in terms of animal husbandry practices. …”

A novel predictive model for the compressive strength development in class G cement slurries at different temperatures, retarder, and salt concentrations by Ali Barati Harooni, Hasan Maroof, Maryam Abdollahi Khoshmardan, Omid Pourali

“…In this research, several experiments were run utilizing a non-destructive approach by using the Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer (UCA) device to evaluate the influence of temperature, retarder, and salt concentrations on the delay of 24-hour cement compressive strength. Moreover, a computer-based Radial Basis Function optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-RBF) model with three layers was developed for the estimation of experimental compressive strength data. …”
