Floods are a devastating kind of natural disaster. About half of the population in China lives in rural areas. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the flood disaster risk of rural housings. The results are valuable for guiding the rescue and relief goods layout. In this study, we take the severe flood disaster that happened at Kouqian Town in Jilin, China in 2010 as an example to build an risk...

Flood plains and the area near to the rivers channels, because of their special circumstances such as fertility and water resources are appropriate situations for the social and agricultural activities, but due to morphological characteristics usually, these area are affected by different flood hazards. However, in these areas, determination of flood zone and its height and also detecting prope...

This paper presents the findings of an analysis of flood disaster trends in Asian countries during the last 30 years. The analysis was carried out to understand the changing characteristics of flood disasters in Asian countries in the past three decades with the rapid changes in socio-economic conditions. The second half of the paper presents the results of a modeling study of flood risk manage...

Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea Cav., frequently limits rough rice yields and cultivar options in Arkansas rice production areas. Rice growers and researchers have long observed that susceptible rice plants are more blast resistant when growing in moisture saturated or flooded soil. In fact, Arkansas growers utilized flood-induced field resistance as their primary blast control measure...

Climatic variability, unplanned land use pattern and encroachment into the flood plain are affecting the hydrology of Bagmati river basin of Nepal. In this study, methodology to improve present flood management system with non-structural countermeasures has been elaborated. Study of hydrological condition, basin scale rainfall runoff modeling and inundation analysis is helpful to prepare commun...

Channel flow routing provides information on the movement of flood wave as it travels downstream. From the flood forecast viewpoint, it is desirable to have some knowledge about the expected arrival time of peak flow. However, many parameters involved in the flow routing model, in reality, can not be quantified with certainty. In this paper, a probabilistic analysis using the Mellin transform i...

UNLABELLED Lymphoscintigraphy uses intradermal or interstitial injections of (99m)Tc-labeled tracers to produce images of focal lymph nodes. Because there is little or no anatomic information in the (99m)Tc images, a (57)Co flood source is sometimes used to provide transmission data along with the emission data. The anatomic shadow from the transmission scan generally improves interpretation an...

There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The paper reviews the current knowledge on flood regime changes in European rivers that has traditionally been obtained through two alternative research approaches. The first approach is the data-based detection of changes i...

Distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) flood attacks remain a big issue in network security. Real events of DDOS flood attacks show that an attacked site (e.g., server) usually may not be overwhelmed immediately at the moment attack packets arrive at that site but sometime late. Therefore, a site has a performance to resist DDOS flood attacks. To test such a performance, data synthesizer is desir...

This paper explores potential flood resilience approaches for the highly urbanised Wortley Beck river basin, south west of the City of Leeds, UK. Integrated 1D and 2D hydrodynamic modelling, using the ISIS and TUFLOW has been utilised to explore potential impact of SuDS on the flood hazard for three (1:15, 1:50 and 1:100) flood events. A direct rainfall runoff modelling approach has been employ...
