Resilience in a noisy urban system
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The ability of cities to recuperate from disturbances and return to their evolutionary pathways depends, first and foremost, on the type of damage that the shock created. But in addition, it depends on how information is transmitted in the urban system and on how noise filters distort the information that reaches economic agents.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.October 2019 was characterized by three main multiday wet spells in Bafoussam and Dschang. Our results indicated that wet spells were influenced by a vortex pair near the Gulf of Guinea, a strong Sahara Heat Low located anomalously far east and north, a northward shift of the intertropical discontinuity, an enhancement of the inland penetration of the ...

Prevention and Reduction of Earthquake Disasters in Asia and the Pacific Region
Prevention and Reduction of Earthquake Disasters in Asia and the Pacific Region地震は過去25年間で世界から1千万人以上の人命を奪った。とりわけ,アジア・太平洋地域の中国・日本・イラン・インド・パキスタン・アフガニスタン・トルコでは地震による被害が甚大である。これら地震多発国は地震を引き起こすプレート活動の活発な地域に位置している。地震波は自然災害であるので止めることは出来ないが,適切な防御策を講じることで被害を小さくすることができる。この防御策には,地震多発国の過去の地震災害の研究,危機アセスメントの準備,地震に弱い地域を示したハザードマップ,適切な建築基準の履行が必要である Earthquakes have killed more than one million people during the past 25 years worldwide, and in Asia ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...

Risk Times in Mission‐Oriented Systems
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article assesses risk times in mission‐oriented systems with high safety standards. We examine critical times under two safety policies. The first requires that the system's reliability function, known the first failure of the components, must exceed a reliability level throughout the mission.
