On Uncertain Probabilistic Data Modeling

Uncertainty in data is caused by various reasons including data itself, data mapping, and data policy. For data itself, data are uncertain because of various reasons. For example, data from a sensor network, Internet of Things or Radio Frequency Identification is often inaccurate and uncertain because of devices or environmental factors. For data mapping, integrated data from various heterogono...

Modeling Flood Hazard Zones at the Sub-District Level with

Robust risk assessment requires accurate flood intensity area mapping to allow for the identification of populations and elements at risk. However, available flood maps in West Africa lack spatial variability while global datasets have resolutions too coarse to be relevant for local scale risk assessment. Consequently, local disaster managers are forced to use traditional methods such as waterm...

Flood hazard zones using 2d hydrodynamic modeling and remote sensing approaches

Increasing frequency and severity of flooding demands identification of flood hazard zones in Kalilangan, Bukidnon in response to the echoing need of better disaster preparedness via enhancing the understanding and awareness of the public on flood characteristics by integrating the use of two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling and remote sensing. Flood simulation was carried out in a two-dimensi...

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...
