Natural Disasters Detection in Social Media and Satellite imagery: a survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The analysis of natural disaster-related multimedia content got great attention in recent years. Being one of the most important sources of information, social media have been crawled over the years to collect and analyze disaster-related multimedia content. Satellite imagery has also been widely explored for disasters analysis.

A Note on Queueing Systems Exposed to Disasters [PDF]
, 2008 We discuss queueing systems subject to total disasters. If the time intervals between successive disasters are i.i.d. random variables independent of arrival and service process and arrivals form a Poisson process, then the transient and the asymptotic ...

Internal Temperature Evolution Metrology and Analytics in Li‐Ion Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the non‐linear evolution of internal temperatures across diverse operating conditions, highlighting the disparities between internal and external measurements and the resulting thermal asymmetries. The coupled thermo‐electrochemical modeling framework provides a comprehensive analysis of various heat generation modes, examining ...

Statelessness and environmental displacement
Forced Migration Review, 2015 Stateless people and migrants are at greater risk of displacement and are less likely to receive assistance; in turn, environmental displacement (especially multiple migrations) heightens the risk of becoming stateless.

Achieving Disaster-Resilient Distribution Systems via Emergency Response Resources: A Practical Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper presents a practical approach to utilizing emergency response resources (ERRs) and post-disaster available distributed energy resources (PDA-DERs) to improve the resilience of power distribution systems against natural disasters. The proposed approach consists of two sequential steps: first, the minimum amount of ERRs is determined in a pre ...

Fat tailed distributions for deaths in conflicts and disasters
, 2016 We study the statistics of human deaths from wars, conflicts, similar man-made conflicts as well as natural disasters. The probability distribution of number of people killed in natural disasters as well as man made situations show power law decay for ...

Governance questions for the international community
Forced Migration Review, 2015 The Nansen Initiative has highlighted significant questions about how the international community should collectively think about displacement and mobility issues relating to natural disasters and climate change, and how to improve the governance thereof.

Natural Disasters, Entrepreneurship Activity, and the Moderating Role of Country Governance [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The purpose of this paper is to investigate if a country quality of governance moderates the effect of natural disasters on startup activity within that country. We test our hypotheses using a panel of 95 countries from 2006 to 2016. Our findings suggest that natural disasters discourage startup activity in countries that have low quality governance ...
