Leadership during a crisis that involves the physical safety and emotional or financial wellbeing of those being led offers an intense environment that may not allow for on-the-job training. One of the challenges faced by crisis leaders is to communicate effectively the courses of action needed to allow for a reduction of harm to individuals and the ultimate restoration of the group, organisati...

Abstract. Interactive Digital Storytelling (IDS) is a growing hybrid discipline bringing together computer games and cinematic storytelling enabling entertaining education. CeRC developed IDS game “Edugame4All” to improve children understanding of hygiene and responsible antibiotic use. This short paper presents an evaluation results assessing knowledge gain against the project prescribed learn...

Longshore transport experiments were conducted in a large-scale physical model to evaluate predictions of the CERC formula with measured longshore sediment transport rates. It was found that the CERC formula produced reasonable estimates if the coefficient K was calibrated and applied to waves with similar breaker type. The calibrated K values are much smaller than values that are commonly used...

INTRODUCTION: SSS has been used to map the sea bottom and search for submerged objects since the 1960's (Fleming, 1976). Recent experiments by CERC and the Buffalo District have shown SSS to be useful for inspecting both sloping coastal structures (i.e., rubble-mound jetties and breakwaters) and vertical-wall structures (i.e., concrete caissons and timber cribs). SSS is an adaptation of high-fr...

A field epidemiology manual (FEM) training resource, the FEM wiki project, has been developed to support the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and to serve as resource for any training in intervention epidemiology. The project (www. femwiki.com) is the result of a collaboration between a team of experts from the City ehealth Research Centre (CeRC) of the School o...

Background: COVID-19, the disease caused by virus SARS-COV-2, can create serious respiratory problems, or even death, for those affected. Individuals who share messages about its risks and related risk reduction behaviors have potential to make a broader health impact. Early in pandemic, some individuals made homemade masks address limited supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) posted th...

In 2011, a no-insulation (NI) winding technique was first proposed. Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) pancake coils using the NI are promising to generate an ultrahigh magnetic field, because drastically enhances thermal stability. When local hot spot appears on turn of REBCO coil, enforced current can bypass into adjacent turns suppress Joule heat generation. Recently, different types enh...
