Displacement Calculus [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
In this work, we establish a theory of Calculus based on the new concept of displacement. We develop all the concepts and results necessary to go from the definition to differential equations, starting with topology and measure and moving on to differentiation and integration. We find interesting notions on the way, such as the integral with respect to

Accelerating and enhancing the generation of socioeconomic data to inform forced displacement policy and response

open access: yesData & Policy, 2023
There are now an estimated 114 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, some 88% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries. For governments and international organizations to design effective policies and responses, they require comparable and ...

Exploring interactions between socioeconomic context and natural hazards on human population displacement

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Climate change is leading to more extreme weather hazards, forcing human populations to be displaced. We employ explainable machine learning techniques to model and understand internal displacement flows and patterns from observational data alone.

Improved procedure for determining the ductility of buildings under seismic loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Displacement ductility is a parameter that characterizes the seismic response of structures. Moreover, displacement ductility can be used in order to determine whether a structural design, performed according to a specific seismic code or not, may ...

Assessing the Environmental Suitability for Transhumance in Support of Conflict Prevention in the Sahel

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Increasing conflicts between farmers and pastoralists continue to be a major challenge in the Sahel. Political and social factors are in tandem important underlying determinants for conflicts in the region, which are amplified by the variability and ...

Measuring and mapping displacement: The problem of quantification in the battle against gentrification

open access: yesUrban studies, 2020
Debates concerning residential population displacement in the context of gentrification remain vociferous, but are hampered by a lack of empirical evidence of the extent of the displacement occurring.

A Review on Applications of Capacitive Displacement Sensing for Capacitive Proximity Sensor

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Capacitive proximity sensors (CPSs) are ubiquitous because of their simple design, low cost and low consumption. Capacitive displacement sensing, as one of the three sensing modalities, works for long distance and can be unitized to measure more physical

Resilience actions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in camp-like settings: a Northern Nigeria case study

open access: yesJournal of Migration and Health, 2022
Background: There are about 55 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), and some live in camp settlements, often for protracted periods. However, there is limited evidence on camp management and self-management strategies adopted by camp-dwelling IDPs.

Deterministic Lateral Displacement: Challenges and Perspectives.

open access: yesACS Nano, 2020
The advent of microfluidics in the 1990s promised a revolution in multiple industries from healthcare to chemical processing. Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a continuous-flow microfluidic particle separation method discovered in 2004 that ...

Moving beyond Marcuse: Gentrification, displacement and the violence of un-homing

open access: yesProgress in Human Geography, 2019
Displacement has become one of the most prominent themes in contemporary geographical debates, used to describe processes of dispossession and forced eviction at a diverse range of scales.
