The ability of an infrastructure to be resistant against hazards or to accommodate and recover from hazard-induced destructions and disturbances is characterized as resilience.Usually, infrastructures are engineered socio-technical systems or systems-of-systems.Jackson and Ferris consider the use of finite state machine (FSM) modelling as a suitabl
The rock avalanche that destroyed the village of Xinmo in Sichuan, China, on 24 June 2017, brought the issue of landslide risk and disaster chain management in highly seismic regions back into the spotlight.The long-term post-seismic behaviour of mountain slopes Latest Product Releases & Innovations – Stay Updated! is complex and hardly predictab
We study the distribution of strategies in a large game that models how agents choose among different double auction markets.We classify the possible mean field Nash equilibria, which include potentially segregated states where an agent population can split into subpopulations adopting different strategies.As the game is aggregative, the actual equ
High penetration of wind power plants may have an adverse impact on power systems’ stability by reducing the inertia, and problems like frequency stability could appear due to total inertia in the system being reduced, making the power system more vulnerable to disturbances.However, most recent grid codes include an emulation inertia requirem
Knowledge regarding the seed dispersal of alien species is crucial to manage invasion risk in fragmented natural habitats.Focusing on wind dispersal, this study assessed the spatial and quantitative extents to which a remnant natural fen receives the seeds of alien species dispersed from adjacent hay meadows in Hokkaido, northern Japan.I establishe
