cord-048325-pk7pnmlo	Hanley, Brian	An object simulation model for modeling hypothetical disease epidemics – EpiFlex	2006-08-23		.txt	text/plain	8900	524	59	RESULTS: EpiFlex indicates three phenomena of interest for public health: (1) R(0 )is variable, and the smaller the population, the larger the infected fraction within that population will be; (2) significant compression/synchronization between cities by a factor of roughly 2 occurs between the early incubation phase of a multi-city epidemic and the major manifestation phase; (3) if better true morbidity data were available, more asymptomatic hosts would be seen to spread disease than we currently believe is the case for influenza. EpiFlex uses a dynamic network to model the interactions between hosts at a particular location based on the skew provided and the demographic segments movement cycles. The EpiFlex system iterates through all areas in a model and allocates hosts, putting them in their initial locations, per the movement definitions for the demographic group.	./cache/cord-048325-pk7pnmlo.txt	./txt/cord-048325-pk7pnmlo.txt
