Global evaluation of human risk and vulnerability to natural hazards
This paper describes some methodological aspects of the development of the Disaster Risk Index (DRI), a central component of the Reducing Disaster Risk report from the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP/BCPR 2004). The DRI aims to improve understanding of the relationship between development and disaster risk at the global level. The major assumption behind the index is that differences ...
متن کاملNatural hazards risk assessment using Bayesian networks
The objective of the present paper is the demonstration of the potential and advantages of Bayesian networks for the application in risk assessments for natural hazards. For this purpose, a general framework for natural hazards risk assessment is presented and a brief introduction to Bayesian networks is provided. The methodology is then applied to rating systems for assessing rock-fall hazard ...
متن کاملMapping classifiers and datasets
Keywords: Classifiers Datasets No free lunch theorem PCA Isomap a b s t r a c t Given the posterior probability estimates of 14 classifiers on 38 datasets, we plot two-dimensional maps of classifiers and datasets using principal component analysis (PCA) and Isomap. The similarity between classifiers indicate correlation (or diversity) between them and can be used in deciding whether to include ...
متن کامل[Mapping of environmental mycologic hazards using GIS method].
Intensive poultry production is associated with extreme densities of birds crammed into industrial-scale hen houses. Consequently, the bird keepers are exposed to elevated concentrations of dust. Exposure to dust, containing pathogenic mycological agents, may cause exacerbate asthma, allergic alveolitis, as well as organic dust toxic syndrome. Geographic Information System (GIS) allows to view,...
متن کاملSunshading global datasets
The proliferation of satellites in the last 30 years has resulted in a similar proliferation of global datasets, not only of the Earth but also of other bodies in the solar system. Measured parameters include topography, temperature, water vapour, electron temperature and density, and the strength of the gravity and magnetic fields, to mention just a few. Directional derivatives and sunshading ...
