a flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. this work  illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. in this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...

This paper develops multiple-pollutant marginal abatement cost curve analysis to identify an optimal set of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation measures considering the trade-offs and synergies with other environmental pollutants. The analysis is applied to UK agriculture, a sector expected to make a contribution to the national GHG mitigation effort. Previous analyses using marginal abatement cost...
