Modeling and predicting evacuation flows during hurricane Irma

Description: This article proposes a method to model evacuation flows and reveal the patterns of evacuation flows at different spatial scales. First, the authors present a method to characterize evacuation flows at different geographic scales: the state level, considering evacuation flows across southern states affected by Irma; the urban/rural area level, and the county level. Then they demonstrate results on the predictability of evacuation flows in the most affected state, Florida, by using the following… more

On Polish groups admitting non-essentially countable actions

Description: Article addresses the question whether every Polish group that is not locally compact admits a Borel action on a standard Borel space whose associated orbit equivalence relation is not essentially countable. The authors e answer this question positively for the class of all Polish groups that embed in the isometry group of a locally compact metric space.
