With the start up of the new German Neutron Source FRM-II in Garching, a common instrument control system has to be installed at the different neutron scattering instruments. With respect to the large variety of instruments, a modular system was required. In spite of starting from scratch, a well developed and tested system was needed, in order to meet the restricted man power and short time sc...

In this paper, we introduce a time-limited balanced reduction method based on time-domain representations of the system gramians. The method guarantees stability and yields a simple 71, ermr bound. A numerical example is illustrated to examine the efficiency of the proposed method.

As Earth’s climate changes, individual nations must develop adaptation plans to respond increasing or new risks. This study focuses on changing flood risk in England, UK, and examines the policy framework actions that underpin England’s from a management (FRM) perspective. Specifically, projections fed into UK’s Climate Change Risk Assessment were analysed alongside newly developed FRM portfoli...

Residents should take adaptive action to reduce flood risk—this claim increasingly resonates in the academic debate on risk management (FRM). Hence, it must be assumed that a change division of responsibilities between actors involved is an imperative, is, beyond public authorities, residents become more responsible for their own resilience. However, residents' perspectives and other's responsi...

The breeding of economically important forest tree species in the Baltic Sea region has contributed notably to availability quality wood for bioeconomy. Accordingly, altered stand dynamics improved trees should be identified and incorporated growth models accurately reflect these gains. Such advanced can used assessment different alternatives, e.g. strategies increased carbon sequestration. We ...
