Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated approach for fusion of environmental and human health data for disease surveillance
Howard Burkom,Liane Ramac-Thomas,Steven M. Babin,Rekha Holtry,Zaruhi R. Mnatsakanyan,Cynthia Yund +5 more
TL;DR: The problem of public health monitoring for waterborne disease outbreaks using disparate evidence from health surveillance data streams and environmental sensors is described and a solution framework using Bayesian Networks (BN) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations for estimating microbial environmental data concentrations collected from a field setting.
Erin E. Silvestri,Cynthia Yund,Sarah C. Taft,Charlena Yoder Bowling,Daniel J. Chappie,Kevin Garrahan,Eletha Brady-Roberts,Harry J. Stone,Tonya L. Nichols +8 more
TL;DR: This paper summarizes some key challenges faced in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting microbial field data from a contaminated site and explores the implications and limitations of using field data for determining environmental concentrations both before and after decontamination.
Journal Article
Drinking Water Security and Public Health Disease Outbreak Surveillance
Steven M. Babin,Howard Burkom,Zaruhi R. Mnatsakanyan,Michael W. Thompson,Richard Wojcik,Sheri Lewis,Cynthia Yund,Liane Ramac-Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: APL is developing a novel prototype warning system that employs sensor clustering and Bayesian Network analyses that addresses the challenges of synthesizing results from disparate data types with different data rates and complex environmental and operational responses into a warning system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of waste management issues arising from a field study evaluating decontamination of a biological agent from a building.
Paul M. Lemieux,Joseph P. Wood,J. Drake,S. Minamyer,Erin E. Silvestri,Cynthia Yund,Tonya L. Nichols,M. Ierardi,Brett G. Amidan +8 more
TL;DR: The results presented in this paper will provide decision makers and emergency planners at the federal/state/tribal/local level information that can be used to integrate waste management into an overall systems approach to planning and response activities.
