The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC), is one of the many humanitarian organizations that are further developing their logistics network more decentralized structures with sub-regional networks. One of the main challenges identified is the need of monitoring tools to have a real-time overview of the whole logistics network state, and optimization of the associate...

Rapid advances in scientific and technical knowledge and declining costs of producing, diffusing and processing information are transforming activity world wide and thereby leading to the emergence of the so-called knowledge based economies. With recent developments in information and communication, technologies are opening up the potential for linking such similar local and regional cluster. T...

We have made a number of developments to the Weather, Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem), with the aim of improving model prediction of trace atmospheric gas-phase chemical and aerosol composition, and of interactions between air quality and weather. A reduced form of the Common Reactive Intermediates gas-phase chemical mechanism (CRIv2-R5) has been added, using th...

Objectives: Regional anesthesia can provide absolute pain relief without the risks of opiate induced respiratory depression. The purpose of this lecture is to provide an insight into some new techniques that (i) may improve the success and accuracy of peripheral nerve blocks, with particular reference to the role of nerve mapping, nerve stimulators and portable ultrasound; (ii) methods to prolo...

The tremendous changes in China’s development philosophy and regional economies during the last two decades have carved out selectively new locations of development across the nation. While politicians heatedly debate the acceptable levels of regional inequality, most scholarly studies focus on broad aggregate trends of inequality among provinces and groups of provinces, and pay little attentio...

An ensemble of typhoon events was examined to detect systematic skills and deficiencies of regional atmospheric models in dynamical downscaling these extreme weather phenomena from global reanalyses data. A regional atmospheric model hindcast was computed for the typhoon season 2004 for SE Asia and the western North Pacific. Global reanalyses data were dynamically downscaled to a grid resolutio...

As a result of the spread COVID-19 pandemic, tourism, as one branches many national economies, has suffered heavy losses both nationally and regionally.
