Operational Planning in Civil Defense for Environmental Health

Civil Liability for Environmental Damage

Protecting nature and preserving its health is emphasized by different religions and human mind. Enjoying a healthy environment is a fundamental human right. Any damage to the environment requires compensation of damages incurred, which is within the scope of civil liability. The key question here is what is the nature of civil liability for environmental damage? How does choosing the right nat...

A Stochastic Operational Planning Model for Smart Power Systems

Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

Lava Flow Simulation with Cellular Automata: Applications for Civil Defense and Land Use Planning

The determination of areas exposed to new eruptive events in volcanic regions is crucial for diminishing consequences in terms of human causalities and damages of material properties. In this paper, we illustrate a methodology for defining flexible high-detailed lava invasion hazard maps which is based on an robust and efficient Cellular Automata model for simulating lava flows. We also present...

Environmental Pollution: Health Effects and Operational Implications for Pollutants Removal

Environmental pollution is reaching worrying proportions worldwide. Urbanization and industrialization along with economic development have led to increase in energy consumption and waste discharges. The global environmental pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions and acid deposition, as well as water pollution and waste management is considered as international public health problems, wh...
