Modeling the Influence of Environment and Intervention on Cholera in Haiti [PDF]
, 2014 We propose a simple model with two infective classes in order to model the cholera epidemic in Haiti. We include the impact of environmental events (rainfall, temperature and tidal range) on the epidemic in the Artibonite and Ouest regions by introducing

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]
, 2008 Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.

Clues to the identification of a seismogenic source from environmental effects: the case of the 1905 Calabria (Southern Italy) earthquake [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2009 The 8 September 1905 Calabria (Southern Italy) earthquake belongs to a peculiar family of highly destructive (I<sub>0</sub>=XI) seismic events, occurred at the dawning of the instrumental seismology, for which the location, geometry and size ...

Long-run consequences of natural disasters: Evidence from Tangshan [PDF]
Exploiting Tangshan 1976 - the deadliest earthquake in the 20th century - as a source of exogenous variation, we estimate the cohort-specific effects of a historical shock on contemporary socio-economic outcomes.

Influence of vibrations on structures [PDF]
, 2018 One type of occasional structural load is a seismic load. Earthquakes and blasts are typical sources of vibrations, but vibration generated during urban tunnel construction can represent a significant problem.
