Comparison of Neighborhood-Scale, Residential Property Flood-Loss Assessment Methodologies

Leading flood loss estimation models include Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Hazus, FEMA’s Flood Assessment Structure Tool (FAST), and (U.S.) Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Flood Impact Analysis (HEC-FIA), with each requirin...

Software engineering, the software process and their support

Computers are being applied more and more widely, penetrating ever deeper into the very fabric of society. Mankind is becoming increasingly dependent on the availability of software and its continuing validity. To achieve this consistently ...

BP Neural Network–Based Kalman Filtering Method Under Multiple Cyberattacks

This paper proposes a Kalman-gain-driven neural Kalman filtering (KF) defense framework, termed KFDBP, for secure state estimation in cyber–physical systems (CPSs) under denial-of-service (DoS), spoofing, and replay attacks. Unlike end-to-e...

From the Coal Age to Carbon Democracy: The Co-Evolution of Energy Regimes and Economic Thought

The study argues that the material and networked properties of energy carriers have co-evolved with the language of economics. It periodises the transformations from coal’s debates on stocks and efficiency, through the grid logic of electri...

Identifying cleaning products associated with short-term work-related respiratory symptoms: A workforce-based study in domestic cleaners

Domestic cleaners have an increased risk of asthma-like and other respiratory symptoms and conditions. Uncertainty exists about which products are most hazardous. We aimed to investigate, among professional domestic cleaners, the associatio...

Behavioral Economics and Public Policy: A Pragmatic Perspective

The debate about behavioral economics–the incorporation of insights from psychology into economics–is often framed as a question about the foundational assumptions of economic models. This paper presents a more pragmatic perspective on beha...

Mortality reduction benefits and intussusception risks of rotavirus vaccination in 135 low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling analysis of current and alternative schedules

Summary: Background: Infant rotavirus vaccines have led to substantial reductions in hospital admissions and deaths due to gastroenteritis, but some studies have reported an elevated risk of intussusception, a rare bowel disorder. This ana...

Expertise, Knowledge, and Resilience in #AcademicTwitter: Enacting Resilience-Craft in a Community of Practice

Online communities of practice are a useful professional development space, where members can exchange information, aggregate expertise, and find support. These communities have grown in popularity within higher education—especially on soci...

Real-time perioperative communication technologies for reducing family anxiety: a systematic review

Family members often experience anxiety during the intraoperative period because of uncertainty regarding surgical progress and the patient’s condition. Real-time perioperative communication technologies, including mobile applications, auto...

Methodological Background for Spectral Analysis, Illustrated by Studying the Number of Ukrainian Population

A data series usually has three components: trend, periodic (seasonal or cyclic) and random. Cyclic recurrence is periodic swings going beyond the limits of one year. The time span between the two next peaks within one year is considered as...

The Philosophy of Statistics

This paper puts forward an overall view of statistics. It is argued that statistics is the study of uncertainty. The many demonstrations that uncertainties can only combine according to the rules of the probability calculus are summarized. ...

Influence of proxy data uncertainty on data assimilation for the past climate

Data assimilation (DA) is an emerging topic in palaeoclimatology and one of the key challenges in this field. Assimilating proxy-based continental mean temperature reconstructions into the MPI-ESM model showed a lack of information propagat...
