    Actionable Information - Research Briefs - 1- Vaccination
    (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-03-24) Zarate-Losoya, Enrique; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose; Duran Sierra, Guillermo; Alvarado, Juan Pablo; United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
    Five research problems to identify evidence sources and provide initial validation of the risk framework model and data lake have been identified. We focused on COVID-19 Vaccination in the United States and Mexico as the predominant mitigating action. In addition to reliable sources of information, we've identified preordered vaccine supply, its main supply chain elements, and the critical facilities involved in the manufacturing and distribution of millions of doses. In this document we present an initial assessment and findings for this mitigating action.

    CBTS-SGL Webinar - Breaking Silos. The power of collaboration and abstraction - Catalina Herrera (Dataiku)
    (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-08-16) Herrera, Catalina; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose; United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
    As part of the CBTS's Distinguished Speaker Series, CBTS and SGL presented the webinar "Breaking Silos: the power of collaboration and abstraction", by Dataiku's Senior Engineer Catalina Herrera. This webinar introduced examples of a community working together to deliver a common end result using (and reusing data) to maximize community outcomes. It also presented how to leverage Dataikus capabilities to a wide spectrum of applications, including Data4Good, wind turbines with public data, Co2 emissions, among others, to help drive understanding of how to deliver and consume data and insights from many diverse data sources, including observations, model predictions, and experts knowledge (i.e. evidence). The presentation showed how once you break down silos, its important to enhance data products through collaboration, and leverage Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence to deliver applied data science as transparent consumables.

    CBTS-SGL Webinar - Cool Things That One Can Do With Graphical Probabilistic Models - Dr. Marek Drudzel
    (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-01-12) Drudzel, Marek; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose; United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
    On January, 2021 the CBTS COE and the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory (SGL) organized a webinar with Dr. Marek Drudzel as a guest speaker to give a presentation on graphical probabilistic models, and their potential applications to real-world problems. The talk reviewed briefly the theoretical foundations of Bayesian networks and their applications to practical problems. Dr. Drudzel showed several flavors of Bayesian networks, such as discrete, continuous, and hybrid networks, as well as qualitative, and dynamic networks. He also reviewed some applications of Bayesian network models in diagnosis, prognosis, data analysis, and strategic planning. Part of the talk was based on live demonstration of the concepts using GeNIe, a software developed originally in Dr. Druzdzel's lab at the University of Pittsburgh.

    CBTS-SGL Webinar - The U.S. Census Bureau's Community Resilience Estimates- Dr. Bethany DeSalvo
    (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-03-03) DeSalvo, Bethany; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose; United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
    On March, 2021 the CBTS COE, and the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory (SGL) organized a webinar with Dr. Bethany DeSalvo from the U.S. Census Bureau as a guest speaker to present the methodology behind the Community Resilience Estimates (CRE). The CRE provide an easily understood metric for how at-risk every neighborhood in the United States is to the impacts of COVID-19. This metric uses granular data to measure the individual and community's ability to respond to the effects of the pandemic. Information from the CRE could be easily utilized by policy makers to inform vaccine distribution, where to provide education on public health standards, and pinpoint areas that are at a greater risk of inequitable incomes.

    COVID-19 Vaccination Supply Chains
    (Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory, 2021-05-21) Zarate-Losoya, Enrique; Duran Sierra, Guillermo; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Pompelli, Gregory; Cochran, Matt; Olivares, Miriam; Perez-Patron, Maria Jose; Alvarado, Juan Pablo; United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
    The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted supply chains in the United States; the objective of this poster is to provide relevant information to key stakeholders in academia, government, and the general public by providing evidence-based predictive models and risk analytics on the causes and effects posed by COVID-19, on the U.S. trade supply chain infrastructure. The identification and characterization of evidence depicting the dynamics of infrastructure interactions of U.S. domestic and international trade supply chains, from procurement, manufacturing, warehousing, to transportation processes, are expected to derive inferences from public sources of information, and databases following a common risk framework developed by our research group at Texas A&M University.

    To address the public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other converging Threats on the U.S.- Mexico trade it is critical to support all health supply chain systems for both infrastructure and workforce, and to do it accounting for the inherent cultural regional differences, and considering the current and emerging regional social, economic and environmental risks.
