Could phenological records from Chinese poems of the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279 CE) be reliable evidence of past climate changes? [PDF]
Phenological records in historical documents have been proven to be of unique value for reconstructing past climate changes. As a literary genre, poetry reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279 CE) in China.

DiNS: Nature Disaster in Network Simulations
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a promising solution for disaster management because of its scalability and low cost operations. However, testing the effectiveness of WSNs in real-world disasters is time consuming, costly and in some cases even infeasible. In this paper, we propose a Disaster in Network Simulations (DiNS) framework based on OMNeT ++

Simulating Landslides for Natural Disaster Prevention [PDF]
The simulation of landslide hazards is a key point in the prevention of natural disasters, since it enables to compute risk maps and helps to design protection works. We present a 3D simulator that handles both rock-falls and mud-flows. The terrain model is built from geological and vegetation maps, superimposed on a DEM.

Experimental Framework to Simulate Rescue Operations after a Natural Disaster
Computational simulation is a powerful tool for performance evaluation of computational systems. It is useful to make capacity planning of data center clusters, to obtain profiling reports of software applications and to detect bottlenecks. It has been used in different research areas like large scale Web search engines, natural disaster evacuations ...

A SIMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR CONTROLLED CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES SUBJECT TO NATURAL DISASTERS [PDF]
Natural disasters are inherently unpredictable and can cause major damage to critical infrastructures in cities and loss of life. In this study, a simulation and control framework was developed for evaluating response decisions for natural disaster scenarios with the objective of minimizing the casualties generated from within the simulation.

Natural disaster warning system for safe operation of a high-speed railway
In this paper, the least square support vector machine (LSSVM) is used to study the safety of a high-speed railway. According to the principle of LSSVM regression prediction, the parameters of the LSSVM are optimized to model the natural disaster early
