Nature, Socioeconomics and Flood Mortality
We analyze mortality caused by 2,194 large flood events between 1985 and 2008 in 108 countries. Unlike previous studies that looked at naturaldisaster mortality, we find that year-to-year changes in income and institutional determinants of vulnerability do not affect flood mortality directly. Income and institutions influence mortality only indirectly, through their impact on the intensity and ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملBiodiversity recovery following delta-wide measures for flood risk reduction
Biodiversity declined markedly over the past 150 years, with the biodiversity loss in fluvial ecosystems exceeding the global average. River restoration now aims at flood safety while enhancing biodiversity and has had success locally. However, at the scale of large river distributaries, the recovery remained elusive. We quantify changes in biodiversity of protected and endangered species over ...
متن کاملCombining Statistical Tests by Multiplying P-values
A general discussion on combining statistical hypothesis tests is followed by an application involving point source detection in skymaps. The traditional literature on combining statistical tests has concentrated on a regime in which p-values as large as 0.05 are still of interest, and in which it is dangerous to treat tests as truly independent. But for point source detection, very small p-val...
متن کاملIntegrated Bicyclist Protection Systems - Potential of Head Injury Reduction Combining Passive and Active Protection Systems
In recent years both pedestrian passive and active safety systems, such as pedestrian bonnets/airbags and autonomous braking, have emerged on the market and are estimated to be effective to reduce injury of vulnerable road users in car crashes. A natural next step is to develop similar protection systems for bicyclists. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential bicyclist head injur...
