This PhD dissertation presents developed standardized tools for risk assessment which fill in the current gap between rapid, user-friendly tools and sophisticated tools designed for use by scientists and engineers, with respect to flood risk analysis. This research commenced with an identification of major influencing parameters and data used to compute flood hazard and assess community vulnerability. From these results, key components were identified and applications which compute flood hazard…

First, the WII system made by Nintendo. It has a slender console and the remotes are easy to hold, they also cause the person to get up and move along with the game. They also have a board to were you could exercise with it. Trying to cause more action in people’s lives. This was the first game console that came out to have…

state have also used drones to help watch and keep safe the Amazon’s indigenous forest which is in the Amazon forest. Another example is of how the University of Toronto as well as MIT has come up with a project that uses drones as well as high tech sensing technology to look in to and check any form of cyanobacteria in lakes and rivers ("Humanitarian Uses Of Drones And Satellite Imagery Analysis: The Promises And Perils" 2015). This is because the bacteria are very harmful to animals as well as…

What types of light can a light sensing BlueBot detect? Lights are used for many everyday tasks, and many days they go unnoticed. There are many types of lights, such as Ultraviolet, Infrared, fluorescent, and LED lights, and they all can do different things. Ultraviolet light can be used as a way to light up certain types of clothing, or it can be used to sterilize food. Infrared light is mainly used as a way to heat up food, or as a shorter wavelength to control household items, such as…

Years of research and exploration have lead to some impressive feats of technology being developed. The question is, what is the most magificent and high-tech of devices constructed to help advance our research? Some of the best achievements by far have been made in archeologists' technology. Satellites, Ground Penetrating radar, and Light Detection and Ranging are some of the most important discoveries for explorers, reducing the amount of time it takes to salvage ruins and doing so without…

arrhythmia from fattening the budget of space programs instead of relying on the experimentation of private companies, and economically, a future plentiful with markets on Earth for space products and services beyond communication, navigation, and remote sensing services is very likely…

We have decided to base our project on expansion possibilities of brand ‘Chumbak’ in Dehradun which is a tier two city in the state of Uttarakhand. Chumbak was founded in 2010 as an idea for creating a range of fun souvenirs for India and Indians. It started with souvenirs stocked in multi brand outlets and with the success the company opened pop up stores throughout the country along with an online store. The latest strategy of the company is to open up flagship stores which will have…

INTRODUCTION The information which can be found in the case study refer to the tale of a corporate entrepreneurship which manages to bring SVI (sustainable value innovation) to the agricultural business. The case informs the reader about the history of EADS-Astrium, which is a subsidiary of Infoterra and the surfacing of their new service, named Farmstar. This new product-service helps farmers manage their fields in an optimal way, thus reducing costs and negative influence on the environment,…

1. Introduction 1.1 Literature Review “Land cover refers to the physical and biological cover over the surface of land, including water, vegetation, bare soil, and/or artificial structures” (Ellis, 2013). While, land cover change often means the modifications of Earth’s surface by human activities. Although, human have modified land for thousands of years for food, constructions or other things, the current rates, extents and intensities of land cover change are far greater than ever in…

Throughout history, trees have played a role in humans’ lives, not just actively but passively as well. In the past trees were mostly a resource to be cut down and used to build, but today with global pollution rising, they are more important than ever to combat rising CO2 levels. Forests are being knocked down to make way for suburbs and cities, but still trees find a new home amidst the urbanization. Topics to be considered in urban tree growth are effects of trees on society, the rate of…
