What is the post-2015 development agenda? A look from the underlying disaster risk drivers
Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos sobre Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres, 2017 This study explores the current and projected impacts of the three post 2015 development agendas on the determinants of disaster risk: the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris COP21 Agreement. The

Aeroelastic Testing of Span-Wire Traffic Signal Systems
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 Span-wire traffic signals are vulnerable to extreme wind events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms. In past events in the Southeastern Coast of the United States, many failures of span-wire traffic signals were reported.

Leveraging Informal Learning Pedagogies to Empower Coastal Communities for Disaster Preparedness
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022 With the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes, people and communities within hurricane-prone zones are often overwhelmed and lack effective preparedness in terms of social connectivity critical for making proactive decisions to survive ...

Role of eyewall and rainband eddy forcing in tropical cyclone intensification [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 While turbulence is commonly regarded as a flow feature pertaining to the planetary boundary layer (PBL), intense turbulent mixing generated by cloud processes also exists above the PBL in the eyewall and rainbands of a tropical cyclone (TC).

Extreme events of Markov chains [PDF]
Advances in Applied Probability, 2017 AbstractThe extremal behaviour of a Markov chain is typically characterised by its tail chain. For asymptotically dependent Markov chains, existing formulations fail to capture the full evolution of the extreme event when the chain moves out of the extreme tail region, and, for asymptotically independent chains, recent results fail to cover well-known ...

Extreme Scattering Events [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988 Dally flux density measurements of 36 extragalactic radio sources over a seven year period, obtained by the Green Bank interferometer, reveal several unusual minima in the light curves that do not follow typical source variations (Fiedler et al. 1987).

Latin American Studies on Disaster Risk Reduction in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos sobre Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres, 2020 Practically no government, institution or community has remained indifferent to the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis has been pointed out in many places as a 'disaster'.

Extreme scattering events and Galactic dark matter [PDF]
, 1998 Extreme Scattering Events (ESEs) are attributed to radio-wave refraction by a cloud of free-electrons crossing the line-of-sight. We present a new model in which these electrons form the photo-ionized 'skin' of an underlying cool, self-gravitating cloud ...
