CASE STUDIES Improved Method to Calculate a Water Poverty Index at Local Scale
The Water Poverty Index WPI was created as an interdisciplinary indicator to assess water stress and scarcity, linking physical estimates of water availability with the socioeconomic drivers of poverty. This index has found great relevance in policy making as an effective water management tool, particularly in resources allocation and prioritization processes. Two conceptual weaknesses exist in...
متن کاملAn improved method to calculate paediatric skull fracture threshold
There is a need to better understand the threshold for paediatric skull fracture. Historically, drop tests of cadaver heads have been used to estimate thresholds. However, societal and ethical considerations prevent tests with child cadavers. Therefore, researchers have attempted to estimate the threshold by scaling adult tolerance data. Recent work suggests that mass and material scaling of ad...
متن کاملOrder-N method to calculate the local density of states
We present a rigorous and general method to extract the local density of states r i(v) of a system from its time response to a specified external perturbation. This method is order-N when the matrix is sparse. In a single run it gives r i(v),r i(2v), . . . ,r i(nv), . . . concurrently, which enhances the total efficiency by two decades. Application to a lattice-dynamics problem of 4096 SiC part...
متن کاملDownscaling Spatial Rainfall Field from Global Scale to Local Scale Using Improved Multiplicative Random Cascade Method
Synopsis Non-homogenous multiplicative random cascade method downscales spatial rainfall field from a coarse scale into a finer one. Currently, this kind of downscaling is less reliable even though it correctly produces a long term average spatial pattern. It fails reproducing the patterns in repeated trials; and there is a higher chance of magnitude fluctuation. These drawbacks are needed to o...
متن کاملA Method to Calculate Class Decision Fu
This paper deals with the concept of correlation in multi-classifier fusion tasks. The need to encapsulate the degree of correlation stems from the notion that the least amount of correlation among the classifiers is desired in fusion tasks. We define a measure that captures the correlation for n classifiers for binary output. In addition, we propose correlation calculation for classifiers with...
