Abstract. In recent years, awareness of a need for more effective disaster data collection, storage, and sharing analyses has developed in many parts the world. line with this advance, Italian local authorities have expressed enhanced methods procedures post-event damage assessment order to obtain that can serve numerous purposes: create reliable consistent database on basis which models be defined or validated; supply comprehensive scenario flooding impacts according priorities identified...
Floods are the natural hazards that causing most deaths worldwide. Flood early warning systems one of cost-efficient methods to reduce death rates, triggering decisions about evacuation exposed population. Although previous studies have investigated effect human behaviours on processes, analysing a combination behaviours, flood onset and timing limited. Our objective is explore how changes aforementioned factors can affect casualties. This done within modelling framework includes an...
The applicability of the kinematic wave (KW) and diffusive (DW) approximations was investigated for steady flow in prismatic channels by using a second-order two-step Lax-Wendroff numerical scheme coupled with characteristic method at boundaries. Two types downstream boundary conditions, critical-flow depth zero-flow gradient, were considered together condition discharge hydrograph reaching state upstream end. role inertial, pressure, friction, gravity forces 16 test cases defined through...
Abstract Despite the perceived abundance of information collected after a disaster, available data furnish narrow picture flood impacts, or they are difficult to compare so as produce an integrated interpretation events. This is due diversity purposes for which and variety stakeholders involved in collection management. The RISPOSTA procedure addresses need standardised ways collect damage create consistent reliable databases that meet objectives risk mitigation. In this regard, satisfies...
Abstract. Effective flood risk mitigation requires the impacts of events to be much better and more reliably known than is currently case. Available post-flood damage assessments usually supply only a partial vision consequences floods as they typically respond specific needs particular stakeholder. Consequently, generally focus (i) on items at risk, (ii) certain time window after occurrence flood, (iii) scale analysis or (iv) only, without an investigation mechanisms root causes. This paper...
The need of addressing “residual flood risk” associated with structural protection measures, such as levee systems and flood-control reservoirs, has fostered actions aimed at increasing risk awareness. Structural measures have lowered perception by inducing a false sense safety. As result, these structures contribute to an underestimation the risk”. We analyze effect different reservoir operations, coping drought versus events, on inundation patterns. First, hydrological model simulates...
The applicability of the kinematic wave (KW) approximation was investigated for unsteady flow in prismatic channels. Each 16 cases analyzed under steady conditions by Moramarco et al. (2008) now perturbed such that synthetic discharge hydrographs varying around value Q0 and characterized different values period T travel times, T0′, were obtained. Therefore, based on number K Froude F0, a set 224 experimental tests carried out KW accuracy routing hydrographs. In this case, dynamic solution...
A large number of dams were built in Italy the first decades last century to supply needs industrial, electric power, agricultural, and drinking purposes. Among them, Montedoglio dam, an important reservoir on Tiber River located central Italy, with a drainage area 276 km2 maximum storage volume about 153 Mm3. The dam is earth-fill structure overfall spillway partly controlled by two sluice gates. On December 29, 2010, due partial sudden collapse spillway, huge water flooded valley below...
Scientific and clinical research have advanced the ability of healthcare professionals to more precisely define diseases classify patients into different groups based on their likelihood responding a given treatment, future risks. However, significant gap remains between delivery stratified personalization. The latter implies solutions that seek treat each citizen as truly unique individual, opposed member group with whom they share common risks or health-related characteristics....
Software systems are often certified to guarantee they satisfy particular functional or non-functional requirements, including safety, security privacy. In this paper, we propose an approach based on the use of ontologies support description content certificates for services. The work frames in scope ASSERT4SOA project, which investigates way dynamically search services satisfying certain requirements. Ontology, main result work, supports interoperability and comparison heterogeneous...
Abstract. Effective flood risk mitigation requires that the impacts of events would be much better and more reliably known than is currently case. Available post damage assessments usually supply only a partial vision consequences floods as they typically respond to specific needs particular stakeholder. Coherently, generally focus (i) on items at risk, (ii) certain time window after occurrence flood, (iii) scale analysis or (iv) without an investigation mechanisms root causes. This paper...
Multitemporal analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images has gained an ever increasing attention due to the availability several satellite platforms with different revisit times and intrinsic capability SAR system producing all-weather observations. As a drawback, automated in general change detection particular are made difficult by inherent noisiness imagery. Even if preprocessing step aimed at speckle reduction is adopted, most algorithms borrowed from computer vision cannot be...
Currently, SOAs are the major trend for large -- scale infrastructures and applications that built from loosely coupled well separated services subject to dynamic configuration, operation evolution. Concretely, in open SOAs, trust becomes an essential element certification of security properties offered by will be crucial. In systems, service consumers providers need exchange data a flexible consistent way, take into account cultural language issues consider vulnerability relationships....
