The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual basis for the systematic treatment of uncertainty in model-based decision support activities such as policy analysis, integrated assessment and risk assessment. It focuses on the uncertainty perceived from the point of view of those providing information to support policy decisions (i.e., the...

This report gives an overview of the history of flood risk management along the Scheldt estuary. The purpose of this overview is twofold. It documents the results obtained in the first activity of the Task 25 Pilot, being focused on flood risk analysis, both in historical perspective and with regard to current policies. Secondly, it provides an...

The first activity in task 29 was the scoping of the text-based knowledge transfer, which implied a review of target audiences and the drafting of a provisional table of contents with authors and/or links to task-final reports, size of chapters/ sections, etc. This report is the result of this activity, in tune with task 28. FLOODsite is...

A workshop was held on 9 December 2005 in Lillo, Belgium. The objective of the workshop was to gain a shared understanding regarding the background motivations regarding the Scheldt flood management strategies and policies in the Netherlands and Belgium. It focuses on a ‘snapshot’ of current policies and perspectives for future policy changes....

Contrast-enhanced CT Angiography has become an accepted diagnostic tool for detecting Pulmonary Embolism (PE). The CT obstruction index proposed by Qanadli, which is based on the number of obstructed arterial segments, enables the quantification of PE severity. Because the required manual identification of twenty arterial segments is time...

This Deliverable presents a summary of results obtained in Task 2: Estimation of Extremes of the EU (Framework Program 6) FLOODsite project. The report deals with the estimation of extremes for risk assessment in fluvial, coastal and estuarine environments. The approach, techniques and conclusions are, however, general enough to be of...

In this report we develop a GIS-based multicriteria flood risk assessment and mapping approach. This approach has the ability a) to consider also flood risks which are not measured in monetary terms, b) to show the spatial distribution of these multiple risks and c) to deal with uncertainties in criteria values and to show their influence on the...

Klijn, F. (author)
FLOODsite, from the start, had the ambition to provide conceptual and methodological guidance on how to analyze and assess flood risks as well as on how to manage flood risk and flood events. The main goal of this volume is to share FLOODsite’s view on what a comprehensive approach to flood risk assessment and management is, and what it ought to...

Task 20 has contributed to the methods and application of uncertainty analysis by targeting novel areas of uncertainty analysis and decision support. The research fell into four sub-tasks: 1) Development of an overall framework for uncertainty analysis in flood risk management decisions. 2) Development of new methods to deal with the uncertainty...

This report is Deliverable 18-2 which describes the conceptual, methodological and technological frameworks and how these are implemented for three pilot sites - the Thames, Schelde and Elbe - through prototype decision or ‘discussion’ support tools. The report describes the generic interactions between all relevant factors that drive and...

This report describes the flood defence structures of the pilot site ‘German Bight Coast’ and the overall probability of failure of all flood defences in the area. First, the flood prone area is briefly described as follows: ? the flood prone area ? the failures observed in the past ? an overview of all defence structures ? the flood defence...

Control banding (CB) strategies offer simplified processes for controlling worker exposures in the absence of firm toxicological and exposure information. The nanotechnology industry is an excellent candidate for applying such strategies with overwhelming uncertainties of work-related health risks posed by nanomaterials. A recent survey shows...

The ambient conditions could influence the breakdown strength of gas insulated substation. It is important to check if this influence will put the GIS into severe condition, especially in the presence of protrusion. A risk assessment is thus important for making decision if the GIS is safe to be operated.

The risks of novel technologies, such as nano(bio)technology cannot be fully assessed due to the existing uncertainties surrounding their introduction into society. Consequently, the introduction of innovative technologies can be conceptualised as a societal experiment, which is a helpful approach to evaluate moral acceptability. This approach...

The main objective of this thesis is determining whether the simplified, qualitative risk assessment models and solutions initiatives of Control Banding (CB) can be integrated within the multidisciplinary requirements of occupational risk management. This was achieving practical primary prevention that assists non-experts in obtaining the...

The fresh water supply will be more under pressure, due to the predicted effects of climate change in the Netherlands. More frequent salt water intrusion during the summer semester is caused by the joint occurrence of low river discharges and the expected sea level rise. The control of external salinity is necessary to guarantee a sufficient...

International construction projects are mostly known with poor cost performance. Their large sizes, multi-party environments, along with unfamiliarity of foreign firms with host country conditions create high chances of cost overrun and delay which lead to disagreements, claims and failures. Factors that result in cost overrun usually occur in...
