Organic Agriculture (OA) as an adaptation strategy (AS) to Climate Change (CC) is a concrete and promising option for adaptation in rural communities. OA has additional potential as a mitigation strategy (MS). This text is a short review note on this topic. Adaptation and mitigation based on OA can build on well-established practice as OA is a sustainable livelihood strategy with decades of exp...

Risk management is widely accepted as a routine activity in software project management. Many project risks are often complex and intertwined. Once some risks are materialized, they spawn active issues which can cause some other risks to occur. Moreover, these risks will have stronger impact than they could happen alone. Such snowball effect has been well known in risk management; however, few ...

Based on earlier work on risk quantification, a new risk mitigation methodology is developed for new product and process design in concurrent engineering projects. First the most prominent risks in the product life cycle are identified and quantified. Then five computational algorithms are developed and used to find feasible solutions for mitigating these risks: Least-Cost-First, Highest-Risk-F...

This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...

In the offshore renewable energy industry, it is extremely important to reduce the likelihood as well as the magnitude of potential risk events during system’s actual operation. Operational risks (either risk of system failures or environmental risks) may cause catastrophic damages to personnel or infrastructure and result in substantial costs in terms of lost production and emergency maintenan...

The insucess of proceeded baselines of considerable length, when the ionospheric and tropospheric delays are not properly modeled, is a serious problem. In order to minimize such problem, some models have been proposed to minimize the biases. For example, the combination of L1 and L2 carrier-phase can vanish 98% of the first-order ionospheric biases. Generally, the LGO device, the equipment und...
