Agent-Based Simulation of Vulnerability Dynamics: A Case Study of the German North Sea Coast
ISBN: 9783642433269 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis constitutes an extraordinary innovative research approach in transferring the concepts and methods of complex systems to risk research. It ambitiously bridges the barriers between theoretical, empirical and methodical research work and integrates these fields into one comprehensive approach of dealing with uncertainty in socio-ecological systems. The developed agent-based simulation aims at the dynamics of social vulnerability in the considered system of the German North Sea Coast. Thus, the social simulation provides an analytical method to explore the individual, relational, and...

Don't Stop CO2 Emissions! - Keep Burning Coal, Oil and Gas!: CO2 the Gas of Life

DON'T STOP THE CO2 EMISSIONS Keep burning coal, oil and gas The increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is considered a threat to the planet's future, but in fact it should be considered the opposite: the abundance of CO2 is preventing a looming catastrophe. This idea might be considered like heresy or blasphemy to the present scientific (and almost universal) belief that CO2 is rather a wicked gas that is unavoidably debasing our atmosphere year after year, leading to what is known as "global warming" or "climate change" a fearful threat to our life, health, and economy. But if...

Noaa: Initial Response to Post-Storm Assessment Requirements
ISBN: 9781505635690 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After a hurricane, assessing damage caused by different perils, such as high winds or flooding, is especially challenging when all that is left after the storm is a structure's foundation. For these properties, there may not be enough physical evidence to determine the extent to which damage was caused by wind versus flooding. Private property-casualty insurers typically cover wind damage but exclude coverage for flood damage. The National Flood Insurance Program, administered by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provides federally backed...
