All living organisms are continually exposed to ionizing radiation, which has always existed naturally1. The sources of that exposure are cosmic rays that come from outer space and from the surface of the Sun, terrestrial radionuclides that occur in the Earth’s crust, in building materials and ...
1. Population living on below one USD per day. 2. Dependents as proportion of working-age population. 3. Human Poverty Index (from UNDP’s annual Human Development Report [HDR]). 4. Social disparity (concentration of income measured by GINI coefficient). 5. Human Development Index...
In this paper, based on a new Geographic Information System (GIS) grid-based three-dimensional (3D) deterministic model and taken the slope unit as the study object, the landslide hazard is mapped by the index of the 3D safety factor. Compared with the one-dimensional (1D) model of ...
Candles emit a blue-hazard-free and low CCT (1,914 K) illumination, as well as a high-quality (high color rendering index, CRI) emission spectrum. However, most of the electricity-driven lighting devices emit intense blue light with a comparatively high CCT. For example, the lowest CCT ...
From the simulated rockfall propagation zones we delimited rockfall hazard indication zones (HIZ), as called by the practitioners (because they serve as a basis for the Swiss hazard index map), on the basis of the simulated reach probability rasters. As validation, 1554 mapped past rockfall ...
A critical stage in drought risk assessment is the measurement of drought hazard, the probability of occurrence of a potentially damaging event. The standard approach to assess drought hazard is based on the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and a d
Riemann has the concept of a queryable index which allows you to search for specific events, indexes must be specially created in your config otherwise the server will return a "no index" error. # Lets send an event that we can then queryRiemannx.send([service:"riemannx",metric:5.0,attrib...

In acknowledgement of these circumstances,environmental governanceis taken into account. A country index using a combination of publicly available governance indicators (e.g., Resource Governance Index (RGI), Corruption Perception Index, World Governance Indicators, Fraser Investment Attractiveness/Policy Perc...
In this paper, based on a new Geographic Information System(GIS)grid-based three-dimensional(3D)deterministic model and taken the slope unit as the study object, the landslide hazard is mapped by the index of the 3D safety factor. Compared with the one-dimensional(1D)model of infinite slope,...
