Countermeasure for round trip delay which occurs in between satellite and ground with network accelerator is investigated together with operating system dependency on effectiveness of accelerator. Also disaster relief data transmission experiments are conducted for mitigation of disaster together with acceleration of disaster related data transmission between local government and disaster preve...

The purpose of this research is to understand the urban characteristics Tama New Town and develop a disaster-resistant community that aligns with those characteristics. This paper reports on implementation “resident questionnaire disaster prevention consciousness” among residents around University, based Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG) concept used in Engineering. RAG defines four capabilities...

The purpose of this paper was to provide a new approach achieve quantitative and accurate typhoon loss assessment disaster-bearing bodies at township-level resolution. Based on the policy insurance data Ningbo city, took rural housing as target body analyzed aggregated disaster losses such payout amount insured rate in area under influence 25 typhoons during 2014–2019. intensity disaster-causin...

Supported by the World Bank, the Integrated Information System for Natural Disaster Mitigation (ISNDM), including the operational service system and network telecommunication system, has been in development for three years in the Center of Disaster Reduction, Chinese Academy of Sciences, based on the platform of the GIS software Arcview. It has five main modules: disaster background information...

background:  disaster  management  relies  on  the  prediction  of  problems  and  providing necessary preparations at the right time and place. in this study, researchers intended to explore previous experiences of health disaster management. materials and methods: this study conducted using qualitative content analysis method. participants  were  selected  purposefully  and  data  were  colle...

Applications in financial engineering have relied heavily on Brownian Motion as a workhorse model for pricing derivative securities and implementing risk management programs. When more than one state variable is required, the standard approach is to use a multivariate Brownian Motion with constant correlations. This article briefly summarizes several important reasons why this approach is not a...

Tsunamis are high-impact, long-duration disasters that in most cases allow for only minutes of warning before impact. Since the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, there have been significant advancements in warning methodology, pre-disaster preparedness and basic understanding of related phenomena. Yet, the trail of destruction of the 2011 Japan tsunami, broadcast live to a stunned world audience, unders...

In this paper, the actions less known but contributed to mitigate outcome of Fukushima accident in the light of the concept of resilience engineering are described with the emphasis on the human positive contributions. Although accident reports already published mainly focuses on finding persons to be blamed and on finding root causes, there were judgments and actions that reduced the disaster ...

Given the personal and societal costs associated with acute impairment and enduring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the mental health response to disasters is an integral component of disaster response planning. The purpose of this paper is to explore the compatibility between cognitive-behavioral psychology and the disaster mental health model, and explicate how cognitive-behavioral per...
