winds was recently improved by considering one-way coupling of the air–sea momentum exchange through the wave stress, and …

paper is to identify a typical evolution dynamics by analyzing coupling and embeddedness in risk evolution via critical … crisis and how coupling and embeddedness contribute to the evolution. This paper makes it evident that the impact of natural … hazard to a society can obtain amplification through coupling and embeddedness. Therefore, new challenges in risk evolution …

cohesion and resilience. This article reports on comparative findings of cohesion and resilience indices in four Canadian rural … Cohesion and the Index of Perceived Community Resilience are examined in each community for relationships (correlation) between … cohesion and resilience and for differences in the intensity of these variables. Our findings show a consistent significant …

study how cohesion and internal friction evolve during progressive damage to rock. The mobilized cohesion and friction angle … the peak values of cohesion and friction angle for two types of rock. Specimens of rock with varying amounts of … strength parameters for damaged rock. The laboratory testing shows that cohesion decreases with strain as the rock accumulates …

plans for floods. To assess the flood emergency plans, 22 metrics were developed. These metrics covered a range of issues … countries were reviewed using these metrics, and online surveys of emergency planners were carried out. The objectives of the … level of detail. The developed metrics and survey of end-users provided a basis to compare emergency plans. The …
