Toward economic flood loss characterization via hazard simulation

Flood loss footprint characterization via hazard simulation

Established in 1984, the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center develops and promotes effective corporate and public policies for low-probability events with potentially catastrophic consequences through the integration of risk assessment, and risk perception with risk management strategies. Natural disasters, technological hazards, and national and international security issues ...

A new approach to spatially explicit flood loss characterization via hazard simulation

A Real Time Simulation and Modeling of Flood Hazard

The increasing flash flood hazards in major cities like Kuala Lumpur have caused tremendous damages to the society and this requires more essential countermeasures to be implemented. With the advancement in 3D Computer Graphics and fluid simulation technologies, movie experts can now produce realistic visual effects for fluid objects such as water. This paper describes a study made to model and...

Analysis of Economic Loss of Flood Victim Broiler Farms

The present study was carried out to investigate the economic loss of flood victim broiler farms and also to explore the relationship between various independent variables with economic loss of flood victim broiler farms (dependent variable). The independent variables were considered as education, family size, occupation, farm size, feed sources, types of vaccine and medicine used and marketing...

Tox21 to Date: Steps toward Modernizing Human Hazard Characterization

A new review in EHP describes the first phase of the federal govern-ment's Tox21 collaboration, which is attempting to establish alternatives to the time-consuming and expensive animal testing used to evaluate chemical toxicity. The review details important strides investigators have made in demonstrating the usefulness of high-throughput data for identifying potential hazards and prioritizing ...
