On the predictive ability of mechanistic models for the Haitian cholera epidemic

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger, Marino Gatto

Predictive models of epidemic cholera need to resolve at suitable aggregation levels spatial data pertaining to local communities, epidemiological records, hydrologic drivers, waterways, patterns of human mobility and proxies of exposure rates. We address ...

Modelling wind-driven rain on buildings in urbanized area using 3-D GIS and LiDAR datasets

Luca Rossi, François Golay, Sylvain Coutu, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Pauline Emery, Vera Wyrsch

This study investigated the distribution of the fraction of rainfall intercepted by the facades of buildings located in an urbanized area. We used the frequently used semi-empirical standard ISO-15927-3 to simulate Wind-Driven Rain on facades. The implemen ...

Upscaling of a two-region façade-leaching model to the city scale

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Painted facades are protected by paints that contain biocides as a protection against degradation. These facades are leached of biocides by rainfall, albeit at low concentrations. Nevertheless, at the city scale the leachable surface area of building facad ...
