Landslides pose a serious hazard to communities living in dynamic landscapes. To better understand how the earth moves we have investigated processes from the nano-scale to the mega-scale of our greatest mountain ranges. We use these observations to improve our knowledge of how earth materials become unstable and create safer communities....
This course is designed to introduce the fundamental principles of mathematical logic with a focus on analysis. It aims to equip students with the conceptual tools and logical frameworks necessary for rigorous mathematical reasoning, particularly within the realms of real analysis....
This presentation discusses the management of emergency logistics for hazardous materials, with a special focus on the impact of possible system disruptions on system performance. More particularly, we first present a time-varying risk assessment method that takes into consideration the population dynamism. Then the two-stage robust optimization approach is employed to formulate two mixed-integer programming models, namely the basic and expanded unit commitment models, for managing a reliable em...
A highly competitive research environment with increasingly limited research funding has created a “Publish or Perish” attitude among scientists who are judged on the quantity rather than quality of their research articles. This presentation provides brief overviews of Wiley-VCH’s history and developments, the crucial contribution of Chinese research community will also be highlighted and acknowledged. A profile of in-house Wiley chemistry journals will be introduced, and some practical tips wi...
