New Trends in Urban Drainage Modelling
This book addresses the latest research advances, innovations, and applications in the field of urban drainage and water management as presented by leading researchers, scientists and practitioners from around the world at the 11th International Conference on Urban Drainage Modelling (UDM), held in Palermo, Italy from 23 to 26 September, 2018. The conference was promoted and organized by the University of Palermo, Italy and the International Working Group on Data and Models, with the support of four of the world’s leading organizations in the water sector: the International Water Association (IWA), International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), Environment...
Advances in Natural Hazards and Hydrological Risks: Meeting the Challenge
This book gathers the proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Natural Hazards (NATHAZ'19), held in Lajes do Pico, Pico Island, Azores in 2019. Natural hazards constitute the threat of a naturally occurring event having a negative effect on human beings. These effects are often called natural disasters. Among the natural hazards and potential disasters to be considered are: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, subsidence, floods, droughts and coastal erosion. In addition, there are anthropogenic hazards that occur as a result of human interactions with the environment. They include technological hazards, which occur due to exposure to hazardous substances in the environment. ...
Understanding Predictive Models Using R Software
Analysing data and using it to predict future events has become an extremely important aspect in this era when data is so rapidly generated everywhere. For this purpose, many traditional and data driven predictive models are available in statistical literature. For a new researcher or data analyst, the choice of a regression model for a particular situation is very difficult as there are plenty of predictive models available for data analysis for different situations. This book will help the researcher understand the different predictive models. It gives a glimpse of many traditional as well as data driven models available for different situations. It also describes those models from a statistical point of view with illustrations using R software for better understanding. It also provides the comparison between the models to have a clear idea about the different assumptions on which the models are based, and the solution if any assumption is violated. The book also mentions the different situations that researchers have to tackle while fitting models like dealing with outliers, overfitting, and heterogeneity in the data.
Climate Travels
Winner, 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Winner, 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the category of Ecology and Environment, Foreword Reviews Many accounts of climate change depict disasters striking faraway places: melting ice caps, fearsome hurricanes, all-consuming fires. How can seeing the consequences of human impacts up close help us grasp how global warming affects us and our neighbors? This book is a travelogue that spotlights what a changing climate looks like on the local level—for wherever local happens to be. Michael M. Gunter, Jr. takes readers around the United States to bear witness to the many faces of the climate crisis. He argues that conscientious trave...
Recent Advances in Material, Manufacturing, and Machine Learning
The role of manufacturing in a country’s economy and societal development has long been established through their wealth generating capabilities. To enhance and widen our knowledge of materials and to increase innovation and responsiveness to ever-increasing international needs, more in-depth studies of functionally graded materials/tailor-made materials, recent advancements in manufacturing processes and new design philosophies are needed at present. The objective of this volume is to bring together experts from academic institutions, industries and research organizations and professional engineers for sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience in the emerging trends related to design, advanced materials processing and characterization, and advanced manufacturing processes.
Financing Water Security and Green Growth
