Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The software has limitations, not the least being the considerable expertise needed to utilise it for this application which is significantly outside its designed purpose, and we are not advocating its use. Rather we are suggesting that the methodology embedded in the software with some further development of regressive capability could be developed into an effective software tool for epidemic study. This work is merely a demonstrator of the algorithmic steps involved. One aspect of the modelling software’s capability which was not used in this study is simulation of thermal runaway – the behaviour of a reacting system which accelerates exponentially. Batch chemical process development places strong emphasis on avoiding a violent thermal runaway, which a significant number of processes could potentially undergo unless properly designed. The methods for studying and the design procedures to negate the possibility of a thermal runaway are well established. There are many analogies in a thermal runaway scenario with the outbreak of an epidemic. For example, the explicit inclusion of the effective reproduction number in the model equation for infection reveals the stability characteristics of the system. Another feature which could be exploited is the modelling of reagent additions which is directly analogous to an influx of infected cases to a population. Such scenarios will be simulated and reported in a future publication. In conclusion, this study has attempted to assess the ...
