Simulating Populations in Massive Urban Environments
The United Nations recently reported [1] that the global proportion of urban population reached 49% in 2005 and that 60% of the global population is expected to live in cities by 2030. Urbanised areas are extremely vulnerable to all sorts of threats. Indeed, the combination of heavy population concentrations, critical infrastructures and built environments make it possible for environmental, in...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence techniques for flood risk management in urban environments
Urban flooding is estimated to cause £270 million pounds worth of damage each year in England and Wales alone. There has, therefore, been a clear need to develop improved methods of identifying intervention strategies to reduce flood risk in urban environments. This paper describes ground-work performed towards evaluating the relative suitability of several algorithms applied to multi-objective...

متن کاملA method to create multiscale urban environments and associated populations
1. Introduction Augmented reality (AR) is a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated by the computer that augments the scene with additional information. There is an increasing interest for applications using AR in various domains such as military, entertainment and surgery. In all these applications the AR presented to the user enhances that person's perce...
متن کاملInversion Polymorphism in Populations of Drosophila Subobscura from Urban and Non-urban Environments
Populations of Drosophila subobscura from the urban area of Belgrade and from the locality, Deliblato, which is not under strong anthropogenic influence, were studied with the aim to characterize and compare their genetic structure by examining chromosomal inversion polymorphism. Additional analysis and comparison of this type of polymorphism with several other populations from different habita...
