Supply chain risk mitigation
… and security. As a result, risk analysis and mitigation has now grown to become one of the key links to business stabilization. To ensure business continuity, it is necessary to identify key assets (physical and operational) within the supply chain and secure them against probable threats. …

Improving Wetland Mitigation in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina With the Watershed Planning and Mitigation Banking Aspects of the New Mitigation Rule
… on the integration of the watershed planning and mitigation banking aspects of the 'New Mitigation Rule' into the wetland mitigation framework of South Carolina. This project performed a watershed-scale wetland condition assessment, assessed wetland conditions in two Coastal Plain mitigation …

Erosion-corrosion mitigation using chemicals
The presence of entrained sand in oil and gas production is becoming increasingly prevalent as wells age and this is leading to erosion-corrosion in C02-saturated conditions becoming a major mechanism of material attack. Its understanding, prediction and control are key challenges to sound …

Requirements for keyless jamming mitigation
… model to analyze three proposed keyless jamming mitigation techniques. We show that many of the uncoordinated spread spectrum schemes are infeasible for realistic computational powers and allocations of bandwidth even if the attacker simply uses commercial-off-the-shelf equipment. We also show …

New Dilemma Zone Mitigation Strategies
Drivers' mistakes in making immediate decision facing yellow signal interval to stop or go through the intersection is one of main factors contributing to intersection's safety. Incorrect decision might lead to a red light running and a right-angle Collison when passing through the intersection or …

Cost Effective Rollover Mitigation Strategy
A cost effective method of rollover mitigation in vehicles is presented. The method was designed so that some of the system states were measured by sensors that are already available on most vehicles and so that other states could be measured with relatively low cost sensors. Also, the control …

Error Mitigation in Roughness Measurements
Road roughness is an important factor in determining the quality of a stretch of road. The International Roughness Index, a specific measure of road roughness, is widely used metric. However, in order to measure roughness, an accurate road profile must exist. To measure the roads, terrain profiling …

Income inequality and mitigation burdens: An examination of climate mitigation fair shares for South African households
Equity is an essential issue for climate change mitigation, especially when considering the needs of a large global population in the developing world. The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR/RC) aims to ensure equitable sharing of the climate …

Investment Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation
Der anthropogene Klimawandel verlangt die Reduktion von Treibhausgasen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Kosten und Strategien zur Vermeidung des Klimawandels. Dabei werden vor Allem Investitionsstrategien der Vermeidung untersucht. Die Arbeit is unterteilt in fünf Teile, die jeweils …

Interference mitigation in colocated wireless systems
The placement of base station transceivers at close proximity to one another is a major challenge for RF engineers. In a colocated setting, the base station receivers have to receive weak desired signals in the presence of high-power transmit/jamming signals from colocated base station …

Adaptive Interference Mitigation in GPS Receivers
… receivers must employ effective interference mitigation techniques to ensure robust, accurate, and reliable PNT service. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF), a precorrelation mitigation technique that can be used to excise Continuous Wave …

Mitigation of Inorganic Arsenic in Rice
… management and breeding methods of arsenic mitigation are not only expensive and scale limited but also suffer from the diversity of soil and growing conditions around the globe preclude any clear answer. Two chapters in this thesis show that effective treatments allow significant reductions …

Designing Cyberbullying Prevention and Mitigation Tools
… to evaluate mechanisms for its prevention and mitigation have been largely non-existent. In this dissertation, I argue that the complex nature of cyberbullying, made more challenging by the affordances of diverse social media, cannot be solved through strictly algorithmic approaches. Instead, I …

International Externalities in Pandemic Influenza Mitigation
… be infeasible. One promising method for pandemic mitigation is to treat infectious individuals with antiviral pharmaceuticals. While most of the benefits from treatment accrue to the country in which treatment occurs, there are some positive spillovers: when one country treats more of its …

Membrane Fouling Mitigation with Water Hammer
… The variables affecting degree of fouling mitigation by water hammer technique were identified as the operating conditions, viscosity of the liquid, valve closing duration and frequency, boundary layer thickness and type of foulant. Water hammer was also studied on hollow fibre membrane …

Mitigation of Gust Loads Through Pitching
… of the wing-gust encounter without mitigation. The data shows that the flow is characterised by a leading edge vortex and the advection of trailing edge vorticity. This flow produces a significant lift spike during the gust and, for high angles of attack, a secondary lift peak after …

Future Flood Mitigation in Charlotte-Mecklenburg
This case study examines the successes of flood mitigation planning in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, beginning with their locally created future conditions flood risk maps, and followed by complementary risk reduction strategies informed by these maps. Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s future conditions maps, known …

Stateful anycast for distributed DDoS mitigation
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks can easily cripple victim hosts or networks, yet effective defenses remain elusive. Normal anycast can be used to force the diffusion of attack traffic over a group of several hosts to increase the difficulty of saturating resources at or near any one of …

Corona switching: an osmogene mitigation technique
Odorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide have long been associated with wastewater treatment plants, especially those with long forced mains which allow septic conditions to develop. With the encroachment of urban and suburban populations, many wastewater treatment plants are no longer located far …

Gate-level Leakage Assessment and Mitigation
Side-channel leakage, caused by imperfect implementation of cryptographic algorithms in hardware, has become a serious security threat for connected devices that generate and process sensitive data. This side-channel leakage can divulge secret information in the form of power consumption or …
