Earthquake hazard characterization by using entropy: application to northern Chilean earthquakes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The mechanical description of the seismic cycle has an energetic analogy in terms of statistical physics and the second law of thermodynamics. In this context, an earthquake can be considered a phase transition, where continuous reorganization of ...

Geomorphic Flood Hazard Mapping: From Floodplain Delineation to Flood-Hazard Characterization
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2023 Recent studies show how geomorphic descriptors, retrieved from digital elevation models (DEMs), can be used for flood hazard mapping. As they strictly depend on the accuracy of the input DEMs and reference flood hazard maps used for training, DEM-based flood hazard models may display severe inconsistencies.

Video-based road commentary training improves hazard perception of young drivers in a dual task [PDF]
, 2009 This study used a video-based hazard perception dual task to compare the hazard perception skills of young drivers with middle aged, more experienced drivers and to determine if these skills can be improved with video-based road commentary training.

Neurobehavioral hazard identification and characterization for caffeine
Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2016 This report evaluates the scientific literature on caffeine with respect to potential central nervous system (CNS) effects, specifically effects on sleep, anxiety, and aggression/risk-taking. Caffeine has been the subject of more scientific safety studies than any other food ingredient. It is important, therefore, to evaluate new studies in the context
