Effect of Work-related Mobility in the Simulation of Aerosol Anthrax Releases with BARD
Content Type: Abstract
An important problem in biosurveillance is the early detection and characterization of outdoor aerosol releases of B. anthracis. The Bayesian Aerosol Release Detector (BARD) is a system for simulating, detecting and characterizing such releases… read more… it takes into account the work-related mobility and to com- pare the refined simulator with the existing one. … work was sup- ported by grant CDC-R01PH000026-01.
