Structural Emergency Control Paradigm

Structural Health Monitoring Paradigm for Concrete Structures

Structural health monitoring has been one of particular concerns of the engineering community. Effective monitoring, reliable data analysis, rational data interpretation and correct decision making are challenging problems for engineers who specialized in structural health assessment field. Concrete structures were constructed for various purposes in a certain design life in the context of 'mai...

Towards a Collaborative Network Paradigm for Emergency Services

The rate and intensity of large scale disasters, natural and induced by humans via deforestation, carbon emissions, terrorism etc appears to be steadily increasing. At the same time, mankind appears to create increasingly complex systems to sustain its survival, quality of life and evolution. Ensuring that the people and their vital systems survive and cope with the natural disasters require pr...

Transient Stability Emergency Control

− An on-line transient stability emergency control approach is proposed, which couples an open-loop and a closed-loop emergency control technique. The open-loop technique uses on-line transient stability assessment in order to adapt the settings of automatic system protection schemes to the current operating conditions. On the other hand, the closed-loop technique uses measurements in order to ...

The British Columbia Emergency Medicine Network: A Paradigm Shift in a Provincial System of Emergency Care

As generalists, emergency practitioners face challenges in providing state-of-the-art care owing to the broad spectrum of practice and the rapid rate of new knowledge generation. Networks have become increasingly prevalent in health care, and it was in this backdrop, and the resulting opportunity to advance evidence-informed emergency care in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC), that...
