acknowledgement of math for project on covid 19
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
BENGALURU: At least 11 projects for studying mathematical modelling and computational aspects to tackle Covid-19 will now take off with funding for the same having been approved by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) under the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
Most of these studies attempt to propose mathematical/simulation models to account for various factors relevant to Covid-19 by modifying the basic SIR (SusceptibleInfected-Recovered) models.
“Some of such factors are the heterogeneity of population, the role of asymptomatic population, migration and quarantine, the effect of social distancing and lockdown, socioeconomic factors and so on.
These studies will be primarily aimed to study Indian conditions and will provide an estimate of Basic Reproduction Number-- the qualitative indicator of the degree of contagiousness of the disease,” the DST said.
These will be helpful to forecast future pandemic by using the data available and provide fundamental insights into the kinetics and management of infectious diseases.
