Free Download Assessing Toxic Risk : Teachers Guide and Student Edition By Nancy M. Trautmann, William S. Carlsen, Marianne E. Krasny, Christine M. Cunningham
2001 | 50 Pages | ISBN: 0873551966 | PDF | 4 MB
Assessing Toxic Risk is a comprehensive guide to student research in toxicology. It includes an overview of basic principles of toxicology and how they are used to assess chemical risks. It provides simple but authentic research protocols to engage students in the process of testing chemical toxicity by conducting bioassays using lettuce seeds, duckweed, and Daphnia. It also contains guidelines for integrating peer review and other collaborative knowledge-building into classroom science. Toxicology makes an ideal topic for student research because it provides a natural link between biology, chemistry, environmental science, and human health; it highlights the connections between science and public policy; and builds critical-thinking skills.

Free Download The New Paradigm of Risk in Internal Transport Supporting Logistics 4.0 System
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031649192 | 448 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 31 MB
This book proposes a new approach to risk assessment in internal transport supporting material flows in the Logistics 4.0 system. The development of Industry 4.0 and the accompanying digitization of processes in organizations cause changes related to the functioning of production and supporting systems. As the research proves, one of the areas of such change is the evolution of the risk occurring in logistics processes. Despite the growing number of publications on risk assessment in Logistics 4.0 systems, the research focuses solely on technical aspects related to the maintenance of cyber-physical systems or organizational issues related to planning the operation of these systems. However, the currently developed Logistics 4.0 systems are complex cyber-human-technical system, requiring an interdisciplinary approach to assessing the risk associated with their operation. The literature research conducted by the author showed a clear research gap regarding risk assessment methods that consider the specific nature of internal logistics systems operating in the Industry 4.0 environment.

Free Download Advanced Analytical Methods for Climate Risk and ESG Risk Management: A Concrete Approach to Modeling
English | 2024 | ISBN: 139422009X | 481 Pages | PDF | 11 MB
Advanced Analytical Methods for Climate Risk and ESG Risk Management provides risk management professionals and other interested parties with an introduction to climate risk, a detailed history of climate change, and analytical risk management methods. Readers will gain insight on the potential impact of climate change and learn to apply a concrete three-pronged framework for risk modelling and assessment. The management of climate risk-regardless of the size of the business or of the potential loss-is also considered in detail, with discussions of risk allocation, portfolio optimization, regulatory constraints, and sustainable goal setting.

Free Download Disaster Risk and Management Under Climate Change by Anil Kumar Gupta, Akhilesh Gupta, Pritha Acharya
English | EPUB (True) | 2024 | 649 Pages | ISBN : 9819941040 | 81.4 MB
This contributed volume is focused on SDG 3, 6, 7 ,9, 11, 15, and it covers extensive knowledge on damage and loss contexts of climate change in a developing country. India’s vast landscape with its diversity of eco-geo-physiography, socio-cultural, and developmental settings, coupled with climate change and anthropogenic factors, makes it one of the most disaster-prone countries of the world and, thus, representing almost all the disasters and extreme events associated with climate change, variability, and weather phenomenon.

This book identifies and systematically confirms the various factors that allow dangerous nuclear power projects to proceed without adequate risk assessment, even as society recognizes the magnitude of risks associated with nuclear power generation. For the first time, it employs a communication game model to explore each factor individually.

Free Download Climate Risk Management in Agriculture: Monthly and Seasonal Forecast Application by U. C. Mohanty , Palash Sinha , M. M. Nageswara Rao , Dillip Kumar Swain , K. K. Singh
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 374 Pages | ISBN : 3031518616 | 85.9 MB
Sustainable agricultural production is vital for food security and agricultural productivity. It is greatly influenced by weather and climate conditions. This book focuses on understanding weather and climate systems and crop yield productions, including integrated weather-crop prediction systems for climate risk management in agriculture. It examines the impact of climate change and its variability on different crops, and possible ways to minimize the loss for farmers. This book also describes different weather and climate hazards, including the fundamentals of weather/climate prediction systems and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. It presents the need for seamless weather/climate predictions and their impact on agriculture. The status and availability of different monthly and seasonal scale forecasts worldwide is explored and how the forecasting models or products can be evaluated using statistical methods. The book concisely elucidates systematic model bias removal techniques and a reliable approach based on multi-statistics in producing a single forecast from the multi-model grand ensemble. Since crop models need daily weather sequence, several standard disaggregation methods for generating daily weather sequences from monthly/seasonal products are presented. This book describes several aspects that are needed for agricultural practices and crop modelling. It encapsulates different components of crop models and their application, preparation methods of Crop Weather Calendar, application of disaggregated weather sequence in crop models, and generation of Climate Risk Matrices (CRM). A detailed methodology is presented for hands-on practice, including downloading and processing data, model evaluation and bias corrections, generating a single forecast, disaggregation, and preparing CRM based on crop model products. This book contains a total 11 chapters and appeals to students, researchers, scientists, and operational agencies.
