Download or read book Flood Planning written by Jeroen Warner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods are amongst the most common and devastating natural disasters. In the wake of such an event, the pressure to initiate flood protection schemes that will provide security is enormous, and politicians promise quick solutions in the national interest. Jeroen Warner examines a number of such projects from around the world - the Middle East, South Asia and Western Europe - aimed at the prevention of serious flooding. Each provoked a level of controversy unforeseen by its initiators, with the result that schemes were shelved, were not completed, or simply failed. The author shows how such projects inevitably become politicized as different stakeholders seek to promote their interests.

Book excerpt: Desperate to have the right shoes to start his first day of middle school, Ryan has set his sights on the $125 Slam Dunk Sky Jumpers—but can he put together the money in time? Ryan O’Keefe can’t believe his bad luck. Moving to a new state right before sixth grade is hard enough, but when he finds out that sixth grade is part of middle school in Kentucky, he realizes he may have to spend the year getting picked on by the older students. When he meets a couple of seventh graders wearing Slam Dunk Sky Jumpers, the coolest new shoes, Ryan knows he has to have a pair, and then maybe he’ll be cool too. There’s just one problem: The shoes are $125—plus tax! Ryan’s parents give him forty dollars, so now all he has to do is come up with eighty-five more and the shoes are his. The only question is, how is he going to get eighty-five dollars in the remaining week before school starts?
Download or read book Critical Infrastructure Protection in Homeland Security written by Ted G. Lewis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...excellent for use as a text in information assurance or cyber-security courses...I strongly advocate that professors...examine this book with the intention of using it in their programs." (Computing Reviews.com, March 22, 2007) "The book is written as a student textbook, but it should be equally valuable for current practitioners...this book is a very worthwhile investment." (Homeland Security Watch, August 17, 2006) While the emphasis is on the development of policies that lead to successful prevention of terrorist attacks on the nation’s infrastructure, this book is the first scientific study of critical infrastructures and their protection. The book models the nation’s most valuable physical assets and infrastructure sectors as networks of nodes and links. It then analyzes the network to identify vulnerabilities and risks in the sector combining network science, complexity theory, modeling and simulation, and risk analysis. The most critical components become the focus of deeper analysis and protection. This approach reduces the complex problem of protecting water supplies, energy pipelines, telecommunication stations, Internet and Web networks, and power grids to a much simpler problem of protecting a few critical nodes. The new edition incorporates a broader selection of ideas and sectors and moves the mathematical topics into several appendices.

Download or read book Nanotechnology Based Smart Remote Sensing Networks for Disaster Prevention written by Adil Denizli and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2022-05-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology-Based Smart Remote Sensing Networks for Disaster Prevention outlines how nanotechnology and space technology could be applied for the detection of disaster risks in early stages, using cheap sensors, cheap constellations of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and smart wireless networks with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Nanomaterial-based sensors (nanosensors) can offer several advantages over their micro-counterparts, such as lower power or self-powered consumption, high sensitivity, lower concentration of analytes, and smaller interaction distances between the object and the sensor. Besides this, with the support of AI tools, such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and ambient intelligence, sensor systems are becoming smarter when a large number of sensors are used. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists, engineers, and environmental scientists who are seeking to understand how nanotechnology-based solutions can help mitigate natural disasters. - Shows how nanotechnology-based solutions can be combined with space technology to provide more effective disaster management solutions - Explores the best materials for manufacturing different types of nanotechnology-based remote sensing devices - Assesses the challenges of creating a nanotechnology-based disaster mitigation system in a cost-effective way
Download or read book Narrative Order 1789 1819 written by G. Edwards and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-11-22 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades immediately following the French Revolution, British writers saw the narrative ordering of experience as either superficial, dangerous or impossible. Linking storytelling to other forms of social action, including the making of contracts and promises, Gavin Edwards argues that the experience of radical social upheaval produced a widespread scepticism about narrative as linguistic artefact, the transmission of narrative through storytelling and the understanding of individual or collective life as a temporal sequence with a beginning and an end.
