The long term psychological effect of the distress and trauma caused by the memory of damage and losses associated with flooding of communities remains an under researched impact of flooding. This is particularly important for communities that are likely to be repeatedly flooded where levels of mental health disorder will damage long term resilience to future flooding. There are a variety of fa...

Tropical Storm Debby brought severe flooding to portions of southwestern Florida during the summer of 2012. Remotely-sensed images were collected to document the flooding and test the results of Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H & H) storm water models constructed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). One image, a satellite, multi-band SPOT image was provided to the SWFWMD by t...

Given a planar triangulation all of whose faces are initially white, we study the problem of colouring the faces black one by one so that the boundary between black and white faces as well as the number of connected black and white regions are small at all times. We call such a colouring sequence of the triangles a flooding. We prove that a flooding with boundary size O( √ n) and O(log n) regio...

Climate change may affect ocean-driven coastal flooding regimes by both raising the mean sea level (msl) and altering ocean-atmosphere interactions. For reliable projections of coastal flood risk, information provided by different climate models must be considered in addition to associated uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a framework to project future coastal water levels and quantify t...

There is increasing evidence that more frequent flooding resulting from increases in the frequency and intensity of storms are likely to be one consequence of anthropogenic climate change in many parts of the world including the United Kingdom. Flooding in the UK is currently a major and costly environmental hazard with annual damage from floods of around £1 billion at present levels of protect...

Unstructured P2P systems exhibit a great deal of robustness and self-healing at the cost of reduced scalability. Resource location is performed using a broadcastlike process called flooding. The work presented in this paper comprises an effort to reduce the overwhelming volume of traffic generated by flooding, thus increasing the scalability of unstructured P2P systems. Using a simple hashbased...

This paper implements a cyber-platform which visualizes and analyzes spatial patterns of flooding with a user-oriented spatial intelligence. The paper is organized from three perspectives: first, why representation and modeling of flooding data set is vital; second, how the design of flooding analysis involves spatial intelligence; third, why flooding analysis should be integrated into Cyber-in...

Exposure of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to various combinations of flooding and freezing stresses induces much greater damage than the individual stresses. Cold-hardened plants flooded for 1 week or exposed to -6 degrees C for 1 week show 100% survival, while survival of plants exposed to both stresses simultaneously is reduced by 20 to 30%, and cold hardiness decreases by several degre...

Sequence stratigraphy is the study of genetically related facies within a framework of chronostratigraphically significant surfaces, where the depositional sequence is considered to be the fundamental unit for sequence-stratigraphic analysis (Van Wagoner et al., 1990). The depositional sequence is defined as a genetically related succession of strata bounded by unconformable surfaces and their ...

Using reduced topology within link state routing has proven to be an efficient way to decrease routing overhead while still providing sufficient route quality. There are various ways to achieve topology reduction, based on different ways to form a backbone in the network – this backbone usually originates from the flooding optimization scheme in use, such as MPR or CDS. In case of mobile ad hoc...
