Building a stochastic programming model from scratch: a harvesting management example
(Routledge, 2016)
We analyse how to deal with the uncertainty before solving a stochastic optimization problem and we apply it to a forestry management problem. In particular, we start from historical data to build a stochastic process for ...
An objective multi-criteria evaluation of water management scenarios
(2004)
Advanced computer models are commonly used to simulate reservoir system's performance. If the number of possible management scenarios is large, it can be extremely difficult to follow related system's operation and get a ...
An assessment of energy efficient motors application by scenarios evaluation
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-01)
The choice of the most appropriate public policies to foster energy efficiency measures often is a difficult task due to the large number of intervening variables and agents and, also, high levels of uncertainties in ...
Evaluating social policy scenarios for Tourism Development of Baru Island (Colombia) using structural qualitative modeling
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Social policies are commonly defined from scattered knowledge. It is hard to find examples of social policy design based on a systemic perspective, and even harder with formal modeling support. To advance in filling this ...
Effectiveness of low-carbon development strategies: Evaluation of policy scenarios for the urban transport sector in a Brazilian megacity
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-01)
This paper evaluates low-carbon urban development strategies for the transport sector in Sao Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world. For each mobility policy selected, we build scenarios to evaluate the potential ...
Effectiveness Of Low-carbon Development Strategies: Evaluation Of Policy Scenarios For The Urban Transport Sector In A Brazilian Megacity
(Elsevier Science INCNew York, 2017)
Defensive responses to threat scenarios in Brazilians reproduce the pattern of Hawaiian Americans and non-human mammals
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2008)
A former study with scenarios conducted in Hawaii has suggested that humans share with non-human mammals the same basic defensive strategies - risk assessment, freezing, defensive threat, defensive attack, and flight. The ...
Reviewing arch-dams' building risk reduction through a sustainability-safety management approach
(2020-01-03)
The importance of dams is rapidly increasing due to the impact of climate change on increasing hydrological process variability and on water planning and management need. This study tackles a review for the concrete ...
