Project G.N.O.S.I.S.: Geographical Network Of Synoptic Information System [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Everybody knows how much synoptic maps are useful today. An excellent example above all is Google Earth: its simplicity and friendly interface allows every user to have the Earth maps ready in just one simple layout; nevertheless a crucial dimension is missing in Google Earth: the time.

Life time of correlations and its applications, Wydawnictwo
Niezalezne, Wroclaw 2010, 2013 The aim of this work was to show few examples and few perspective of modeling in epidemiology. We began with differential equations which were a first tool to describe and predict that phenomena. Wroclaw as a cite was very important, because statistics from smallpox epidemic were used by Bernoulli to estimate parameters of first mathematical model of ...

The need for general adaptive capacity—Discussing resilience with complex adaptive systems theory
Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract The concept of resilience intrinsically links with both complexity and adaptive capacity. Scholars from different fields agree on this. Still, the detailed relations between resilience, complexity, and adaptive capacity need a more thorough theoretical analysis.
