Crowd motion simulation requires specification of a range of parameters, each reflecting
certain aspects of agent behavior. But what parameters matter the most? Are they all equally …

Differential entropy can be negative, while discrete entropy is always non-negative. This
article shows that negative entropy is a significant flaw when entropy is used as a sensitivity …

Uncertainty is a common feature in first-principles models that are widely used in various
engineering problems. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) has become an essential procedure …

Crowd simulations are an indispensable tool to review evacuation concepts. Since
uncertainties limit their reliability, I propose and implement a three-step approach to reduce …

Heart failure (HF) is a condition that the heart is unable to pump blood adequately for the
body's circulation demand. It is estimated that about 6.5 million patients in the US have HF …
