Research on Fast Spectrum Resonance Calculation Method Based on Subgroup Method by YU Rongjun, ZHAO Shouzhi, YANG Rui, SONG Yingyun, ZHANG Chong, HUO Xingkai

“…Resonance calculation is a necessary part of the two-step or three-step physical calculation, and the traditional method is usually based on the geometric simplification model in dealing with the fast spectrum resonance calculation problem, which cannot accurately match the advantage of the MOC on the fine geometric processing ability, especially with the rapid development of advanced reactor research in recent years, many reactor schemes with fine structure have been proposed, including a large number of core schemes characterized by fast spectrum, for this type of problem, the traditional method is difficult to give high-precision multi-group constants under fine geometry. …”

A flexible framework for local-level estimation of the effective reproductive number in geographic regions with sparse data by Md Sakhawat Hossain, Ravi Goyal, Natasha K. Martin, Victor DeGruttola, Mohammad Mihrab Chowdhury, Christopher McMahan, Lior Rennert

“…However, not all regions have sufficient infectious disease outcome data; this lack of data presents a significant challenge for accurate estimation. Methods To overcome this challenge, we propose a two-step approach that incorporates existing $$\:{R}_{t}$$ estimation procedures (EpiEstim, EpiFilter, EpiNow2) using data from geographic regions with sufficient data (step 1), into a covariate-adjusted Bayesian Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) spatial model to predict $$\:{R}_{t}$$ in regions with sparse or missing data (step 2). …”
