Integer Optimization and its Computation in Emergency Management
Studies on integer optimization in emergency management have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines such as management, mathematics, computer science, and other fields. Although there are a large number of literature reports on integer planning and emergency events, few books systematically explain the combination of the two. Researchers need a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of integer programming methods for emergency management. Integer Optimization and its Computation in Emergency Management investigates the computation theory of integer optimization, developing integer programming methods for emergency management and explores related practical applications. Pursuing a holistic approach, this book establishes a fundamental framework for this topic, intended for graduate students who are interested in operations research and optimization, researchers investigating emergency management, and algorithm design engineers working on integer programming or other optimization applications. - Investigates computation theory of integer optimization and integer programming methods for emergency management and related practical applications - Systematically provides background and potential applications of integer programming in emergency events, providing specific calculation frameworks and examples - Provides a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of integer programming methods for emergency management through a holistic approach, establishing a fundamental framework of the topic for the audience
Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Management (Second Edition)
Disasters and public health emergencies are increasing. Climate change, transportation incidents, increasing numbers of mass gatherings, chemical and technical incidents, increasing number of armed conflicts and terrorism are some of the major reasons for this increasing pattern. Any of these events may result in severe casualties, destruction of infrastructures and create a situation in which the number of victims may exceed available resources. Much of the knowledge in disaster medicine is based on the “lessons learned”. However, it has been proven that no lessons learned theoretically can be of practical use if the knowledge is not tested in an appropriate environment. In this perspective, the major clinical excellence and testing laboratories for disaster response are the scenes where disasters happen. Yet, most of the research and reports in the field are produced in high-income countries, while most of the disasters happen in middle- or low-income countries. There is thus a need to bring these two environments together in order to translate theory into practice and among people who are highly exposed and involved in the multidisciplinary management of a disaster or major incident.
Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems
Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems: Stabilization and Limit Cycle Generationclearly explains stabilization and limit cycle generation in underactuated mechanical systems (UMS),addressing control design challenges and demonstrating concepts through real-time experiments.The book begins with advancements in UMS, introducing key concepts such as stabilization and limitcycle generation, supported by literature examples. It then focuses on the inertia wheel invertedpendulum, presenting a detailed discussion. The second part tackles stabilization, offering variouscontrol solutions validated through numerical simulations and real-time experiments. The finalpart addresses stable limit cycle generation, detailing three proposed control solutions and theirvalidation through different case studies.This book is a valuable resource for PhD and Master students, engineers, researchers, and educators.It provides guidance in robotics and automatic control, utilizing a simplified methodology forcontrolling underactuated mechanical systems. - • Addresses stabilization and stable limit cycle generation in underactuated mechanical systemsamid perturbations• Explores the design, development, and validation of robust control solutions• Illustrates concepts through case studies• Validates control solutions with numerical simulations and real-time experiments
