The BlueBRIDGE project supports maritime spatial planning by providing data and analysis tools to help address key challenges. It develops rapid inventories of aquaculture facilities using earth observation imagery and tools to assess features in marine protected areas. For example, it identified over 8,600 fish cages in Greece and found that only 4.1% of coral reefs in the Bahamas are currently represented in marine protected areas. The standardized and repeatable analysis tools and data provided by BlueBRIDGE can help improve maritime spatial planning.

Modeling the water food energy nexus: the case of EgyptInternational Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
The document discusses modeling of the water-food-energy nexus in Egypt using various simulation and hydrological models at different scales. At the field level, the FAO AquaCrop and HYDRUS-1D models are used to simulate crop yield response to water and model water and salt balance. At the basin level, models examine water supply, allocation, user demands, and the groundwater system using FEFLOW-3D and MODFLOW Visual Flex. The overall goal is hydro-economic modeling for long-term food and water security under physical, economic and social constraints.Use of satellite imagery for the generation of an aquaculture atlas : a case ...
The document describes a project to design an Aquaculture Atlas Production System (AAPS) that takes satellite imagery as input and generates products about aquaculture for users. It will implement a prototype for areas in Greece and Indonesia. The system will use tools to automatically detect aquaculture features like fish cages in images and map them. It will make the outputs like location maps and statistics available to users through a virtual research environment by the end of 2016 to support aquaculture monitoring, analysis and planning.
DAFNE Project Presentation
The DAFNE project uses a decision-analytic framework to explore sustainable management of the water-energy-food nexus in transboundary contexts. It focuses on the Zambezi River Basin across 8 countries in Africa. The objectives are to develop understanding of the nexus, generate alternative planning solutions, and foster equitable resource use without environmental harm. Key issues in the basin include trade-offs between energy production and irrigation, population growth pressures, and transboundary governance challenges. The project involves stakeholders to collect data, develop scenarios, integrate models, and identify robust management alternatives through an online negotiation simulation lab.

This document presents a methodological approach to analyze the impacts of climate change and rainfall on coastal urban road networks. It discusses how rainfall increases travel times on road networks by degrading road capacities. It proposes using a probabilistic user equilibrium model to determine traffic routing and system travel time under different rainfall intensity levels. The probabilities of different rainfall intensities are determined based on historical monsoon data. As an example, the method is demonstrated for the city of Mumbai using rainfall data from 1970-2009. The goal is to provide transportation planners a tool to quantify losses due to climate change impacts like increased rainfall so they can be accounted for in planning.

Dafne economic model
- The document describes a proposed model to analyze economic development and water sharing in transboundary river basins under the water-energy-food nexus.
- Key aspects of the model include estimating production functions for different economic sectors related to water use, modeling how water availability changes over time based on upstream and downstream usage, and analyzing cooperative vs non-cooperative approaches to water allocation between countries.
- The goal is to provide policy recommendations by applying the model to specific case studies and exploring the impacts of different scenarios on economic and social outcomes in both upstream and downstream nations.
Edwards et al. - 2016 - Energy and time modelling of kerbside waste collectio...
This study develops a new mathematical model called Municipal Solid Waste Collect (MSW-Collect) to predict the energy and time requirements of kerbside waste collection regimes. The model incorporates local variables to more accurately model waste collection. The model is validated and shown to more accurately predict fuel consumption and truck needs than other common models. The model is used to predict the impacts of adding source separated food waste collection to five scenarios. Results show adding food waste increases fuel use from 1.38-57.59% and requires additional collection trucks for most scenarios. The food waste collection scenarios are analyzed and ranked based on predicted fuel use.

Blue
This article discusses the differences between traditional competitive strategy analysis using Porter's Five Forces framework and the newer "blue ocean" strategy concept developed by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne. Porter's Five Forces focuses on outcompeting rivals within existing industry boundaries, while blue ocean strategy aims to make the competition irrelevant by creating new market spaces with no competition. The article argues that both approaches have value, but blue ocean strategy may be better for developing breakthrough strategies that create new demand rather than fighting for a share of existing demand.
IDMP CEE Activity 1.3 by Gregor Gregoric
This document discusses platforms for exchanging drought information and monitoring drought conditions. It proposes reviewing existing platforms to integrate drought products and data in order to design a common concept for capacity development and knowledge transfer. Examples of existing drought monitoring platforms from Australia, Africa, the US, and Europe are described. The European Drought Observatory is presented as a platform that could integrate this information, providing drought monitoring maps, data, and reports across Europe.

IDMP CEE 2nd workshop: Activity 1.3 by Gregor GregoricGlobal Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe
This document discusses the development of a drought information exchange platform. It summarizes activities to review existing platforms and propose integrating drought monitoring products and data onto one platform. A survey was distributed to partner countries to collect information on available drought-related data. The workshop agenda aimed to prepare an implementation guide for the platform, which would describe the European Drought Observatory as a potential infrastructure option and provide guidance on data integration and metadata standards. The goal is to create a common platform for capacity building and knowledge sharing around drought risk management.An open source GIS-based decision
1. Researchers at the University of Guelph developed an open source, GIS-based decision support system called WEBs to help evaluate watershed management scenarios and the economic and water quality impacts of best management practices.
2. The WEBs interface allows users to examine different BMP configurations and locations, compare environmental and economic tradeoffs under different targets and constraints, and simulate outcomes using integrated hydrologic and economic models.
3. Further improvements to the system structure, database management, transferability, and scale are still needed to make the tool more useful for policymakers, farmers, and researchers.
Scaling up? SER 2013 presentation - Eric Nost
My talk from the World Conference on Ecological Restoration on 10/8/13 in Madison, WI. My argument is: efforts to concentrate on watershed needs and processes in ensuring greater ecological returns from restoration may not be so easily implemented when it comes to mitigation markets. Outcomes are likely to differ from region to region, however. PES promoters regularly call for spatially-explicit approaches to restoration, but on the ground their efforts run into resistance from the entrepreneurs at the heart of these markets. Their concerns are both economic and ecological. I make the argument by taking us through how restoration sites in the Oregon market are planned for, chosen, and evaluated, ending with a discussion of what the case may suggest for other markets.

EIA Project
The document provides an environmental assessment matrix for a proposed hydropower dam project in Tioga County, PA. It analyzes the impacts of a no action alternative compared to several preferred action alternatives. The preferred alternatives involve constructing hydropower dams in Bradford County and Lackawanna County, which are similar to Tioga County in that they have large forested areas and timber industries that could provide economic benefits. However, the hydropower dams may negatively impact the local environment through increased pollution, disruption of habitats and aquatic life, and contamination of water resources. The document discusses developing strategies to mitigate these impacts and protect critical natural resources.
2010 - Environmental impacts of hydropower
This document discusses hydroelectric power potential in Europe. It summarizes that a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) found the technical potential for hydroelectric power is restricted, but the environmental potential is even more limited after accounting for environmental factors. The study used a database called ECRINS to analyze hydrological data and potential dam sites in catchments. It made assumptions about factors like water flow rates, plant efficiencies, costs, and environmental impacts to estimate potential. While the technical potential is limited, the document suggests focusing on innovating business models to adapt. It also notes that environmental protections like Article 4.7 must be maintained.

Environmental impact assessment
The document discusses the basic concepts of environmental impact assessment (EIA). It begins by defining EIA as a formal process for identifying potential environmental and health effects of projects and activities, and for developing mitigation measures. The document then provides a brief history of EIA, noting it was first introduced in the US in 1969 and became law in 1971. It discusses how EIA has been implemented in India since the 1970s. The document outlines the typical EIA process, which involves screening projects, conducting preliminary assessments or full studies, identifying impacts and alternatives, and producing environmental impact statements. It emphasizes understanding the proposed activity and identifying the most significant impacts.
Methods of eia(environmental impact assessment)
The document discusses different methods used for environmental impact assessment (EIA), including simulation models, matrices, expert judgement, GIS mapping, and checklists. It focuses on checklists, explaining that they are structured lists of environmental factors that could be affected. Checklists can identify impacts on resources like soil, water, flora and fauna. They comprise simple lists with no impact information, descriptive lists that provide magnitude/importance of impacts, and scaling checklists that additionally assess impacts subjectively. Checklists provide an initial overview to guide interdisciplinary discussions in the EIA process.
Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA)
Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) is a process which ensures that all environmental matters are taken into account quite early in the project at planning process itself.It takes into consideration not only technical and economic considerations but also, traditional aspects like impact on local people, biodiversity etc.
Eia
This document discusses India's environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. It provides an overview of the key stages of EIA including screening, scoping, preparation of the EIA report, public consultation, appraisal, and decision making. It notes that EIA was made mandatory in 1994 under environmental protection laws. However, it also outlines several loopholes and deficiencies in the current EIA process, including limited public participation and transparency at certain stages, exemptions that allow projects to bypass EIA, and tight timelines that limit thorough assessments. Overall, the document analyzes India's EIA procedure while pointing out weaknesses that could be addressed to strengthen environmental review and public involvement.

EIA identifies alternatives and aims to balance economic and environmental costs and benefits. It integrates environmental concerns early in project planning. EIA started as a mandatory regulatory process in the US in 1969 and is now required in over 100 countries. The key stages of EIA are screening, scoping, baseline data collection, impact analysis, mitigation planning, public hearings, decision making, and monitoring. EIA aims to be fair, provide credible information for decisions, and ensure sustainability.
Environmental Impact Assessment
This document discusses environmental impact assessment (EIA). It defines EIA as a study that predicts how a proposed project may affect the environment. EIAs identify the best project option by comparing alternatives and weighing economic and environmental costs and benefits. The EIA process involves scoping a project to identify key issues, conducting an impact assessment, obtaining public input, and using the results to inform decision-making about projects that could significantly affect the environment.
Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process that ensures environmental factors are considered early in project planning. It examines both technical/economic and traditional impacts on local communities and biodiversity. EIA is intended to prevent or minimize potentially adverse environmental effects and improve project quality. Projects requiring EIA include agriculture, construction, industries, waste disposal, and developments near protected areas. The EIA process identifies, describes, and assesses a project's direct and indirect effects on humans, wildlife, air/water/soil, climate, landscape, and cultural heritage.
Environmental Impact Assessment
The document discusses environmental impact assessments (EIAs), which evaluate the environmental consequences of development projects. EIAs were first introduced in the US in 1969 and have since been adopted by many other countries. The key purposes of an EIA are to provide information on development consequences to inform decision making and promote sustainable development. An EIA follows several stages: screening to determine if an assessment is needed; scoping to identify impacts; analyzing and predicting impacts; developing mitigation measures; and informing final project decisions. Public participation is also an important part of the EIA process.
Thermal power point
A thermal power plant converts the heat from coal into electrical energy. Coal is burned in a boiler to produce high pressure steam, which spins turbines connected to generators. This generates electricity. The steam is then condensed in a condenser using cooling water, which is cooled in cooling towers or ponds and recycled. Thermal power plants currently contribute the majority of electricity production in India.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras Kloba
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
