Seismic Performance and Damage Risk of Modular CLT Housing Using Nonlinear Time History Analysis
… study of their seismic performance and risk across the U.S. is needed to establish CLT modular construction as a resilient housing option. Therefore, this thesis assesses the seismic risk and performance of five modular CLT houses, studying (i) the variability of their collapse fragility …

Assessing levels of reliability for design criteria for hurricane and storm damage risk reduction structures
… factors of safety for hurricane and storm damage risk reduction system (HSDRRS) structures to incorporate lessons-learned from the system performance during Katrina and results of state-of-the-art research in storm surge modeling and foundation behavior. However, the criteria (USACE 2008) …

Optimizing Wildfire Suppression: A branch-and-price-and-cut approach
… resource allocation to triage fires based on damage risk, crew availability and spatiotemporal dynamics. We formulate a two-sided set partitioning model on time-space-rest networks for crew assignments and time-state networks for fire damage, with linking constraints between both; this …

Tropical Cyclone Risk Assessment Using Statistical Models
… changes in TC activity into implications for risk. In contrast to other studies, I show that the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has an effect on track propagation separate from the genesis effect. The ENSO effect on genesis results in higher landfall rates during La Niña years due to the …

Keeping New Orleans Afloat: What can be done to ensure another hurricane the size of Katrina will not destroy the entire city?
… for their safety. They had a Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) in place, but the system was not efficient enough for the strength of Katrina’s 28-foot storm surge and 55-foot waves. After 50 major levee breaches, New Orleans looked like residents had built a beach in their …

UHRF1 and the DNA Damage Response
… this threat, collectively referred to as the DNA damage response. Cells that lose the ability to cope with DNA damage risk the acquisition of deleterious changes to DNA sequence or structure. I initially set out to identify and characterize candidate proteins that interact with Mus81-Eme1, an …

A study on risk factors of skin integrity injury in the lithotomy position during the perioperative period
… population which is judgemental sampling. Skin damage assessment tool was suggested by AHCPR (1992), EPUAP(1999) and used tools that Nixon et al.(2005a) and Spilsbury et al.(2007) used, structured record sheet that includes demographic, pathologic, surgical environment was applied. Collected …

Preventive conservation of works of art in historic buildings : assessment and modelling
… these results are useful to evaluate the risk of moisture related damage, evaluating the indoor climate of an entire building with CFD is very time-consuming because of the computational cost, certainly if a long time period has to be analysed. Furthermore, besides evaluating preservation …

Controls on and Morphodynamic Effects of Width Variations in Bed-load Dominated Alluvial Channels: Experimental and Numerical Study
… loss of valuable land and in the increase of the damage risk of infrastructures in surrounding areas, which are often subjected to increasing pressures related to human settlements and economic activities. On the other hand, several approaches to river restoration are based on the concept of …

Bird Strike Risk Assessment for United States Air Force Airfields and Aircraft
… identify USAF airfields with higher bird strike risks. Howard AFB, Panama, had a higher number and rate of bird strikes, and greater odds for a damaging bird strike than other airfields analyzed. This study allows recommendations for improving reporting of bird strikes and data management. …
