Entropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملMan and his spaceships
The resiliency and adaptive ability of microbial life in real time on Earth relies heavily upon horizontal gene transfer. Based on that knowledge, how likely is earth based microbial life to colonize extraterrestrial targets such as Mars? To address this question, we consider manned and unmanned space exploration, the resident microbiota that is likely to inhabit those vehicles, the adaptive po...
متن کاملMan and His Future
The subject matter of this Ciba symposium departs from the usual specialized, esoteric topics of these meetings. Bringing together such noted scientists as Sir Julian Huxley, Joshua Lederberg, Albert Szent-Gy6rgi, and J. B. S. Haldane, this conference discusses the future of mankind as seen through the eyes of people actively engaged in biological research. These men don the philosopher's hat a...

متن کاملMan-made Mineral Fibres
practice, the detection Ii mit of scanning electron microscopy is about 0.1 j.m (Middleton, 1982). Transmission electron microscopy may be required to detect very thin fibres (Rood & Streeter, 1985). The elemental composition of individual fibres can be determined with an energy-dispersive X-ray ana1ysis attachment combined with an electron microscope (Middleton, 1982). Fibres are counted and s...
