Lightning strike probability and current simulation for simple structures and floating roof tank
Air terminations must be strategically positioned at high-risk points to prevent lightning bypass. The likelihood of a direct lightning strike to points on a building can be evaluated using the dynamic electro-geometrical model (DEGM), which considers ...

The effect of surge on riverine flood hazard and impact in deltas globally
Current global riverine flood risk studies assume a constant mean sea level boundary. In reality high sea levels can propagate up a river, impede high river discharge, thus leading to elevated water levels.

Differentiating Large‐scale Surge versus Daily Surge [PDF]
This breakout session at the Academic Emergency Medicine 2006 Consensus Conference examined how baseline overcrowding impedes the ability of emergency departments to respond to sudden, unexpected surges in demand for patient care. Differences between daily and catastrophic surge were discussed, and the need to invoke a hospital‐wide response to surge ...

More intense precipitation will increase the flood potential from concurring storm surges and precipitation in the future. In low-lying coastal areas, the co-occurrence of high sea level and precipitation resulting in large runoff may cause compound ...

The Role of Surge Pricing on a Service Platform with Self-Scheduling Capacity
Recent platforms, like Uber and Lyft, offer service to consumers via "self-scheduling" providers who decide for themselves how often to work. These platforms may charge consumers prices and pay providers wages that both adjust based on prevailing demand ...
