Integrating Ecological and Engineering Concepts of Resilience in Microbial Communities
Many definitions of resilience have been proffered for natural and engineered ecosystems, but a conceptual consensus on resilience in microbial communities is still lacking. We argue that the disconnect largely results from the wide variance in microbial community complexity, which range from compositionally simple synthetic consortia to complex natural communities, and divergence between the t...
متن کاملEngineering Resilience versus Ecological Resilience
Ecological science has been shaped largely by the biological sciences. Environmental science, on the other hand, has been shaped largely by the physical sciences and engineering. With the beginning of interdisciplinary efforts between the two fields, some of the fundamental differences between them are generating conflicts caused more by misunderstanding of basic concepts than by any difference...
متن کاملEconomic Vulnerability and Resilience Concepts and Measurements
In this paper, economic vulnerability is defined as the exposure of an economy to exogenous shocks, arising out of economic openness, while economic resilience is defined as the policy-induced ability of an economy to withstand or recover from the effects of such shocks. The paper briefly reviews the work already carried out on economic vulnerability and extends the research towards the develop...
متن کاملOperational resilience: concepts, design and analysis
Building resilience into today's complex infrastructures is critical to the daily functioning of society and its ability to withstand and recover from natural disasters, epidemics, and cyber-threats. This study proposes quantitative measures that capture and implement the definition of engineering resilience advanced by the National Academy of Sciences. The approach is applicable across physica...
متن کاملRisk assessment of resilience engineering level and integrated resilience engineering with safety, health and environment of hospitals (case study: two selected hospitals of Faraja in 1400)
Introduction: By evaluating the level of resilience engineering and resilience engineering combined with safety, health, and environment, the priorities of medical centers to face crises are determined. Therefore, this study aimed to implement a risk assessment model with a checklist designed in a fuzzy environment. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study, in 2014, in two Faraja hosp...
