An approach to establishing a multi-organisational public sector security operations centre by Brett, Mark

“…The paper further proposes that the approach should work with nodes at a peer sub-regional and local level with information being aggregated at a regional or national level, with central oversight. …”

Recommendations to improve the interpretation of global flood forecasts to support international humanitarian operations for tropical cyclones by Speight, L, Stephens, E, Hawker, L, Baugh, C, Neal, J, Cloke, H, Grey, S, Titley, H, Marsden, K, Sumner, T, Ficchi, A, Prudhomme, C, Archer, L, Bazo, J, Dambo, J, Dolan, S, Huhn, AL, Moschini, F, Savage, J, Smith, A, Towner, J, Wanzala, M

“…We discuss the value of effective partnerships and improving synergies between global models and local contexts, highlighting how global forecasting can help build local forecasting capability.…”

Memory and fluctuations in chemical dynamics by Farahvash, Ardavan

“…Using these methods, I show that the local coordination number around a CO molecule plays a crucial role in the transition states of the adsorption/desorption process, and that CO tends to increase its coordination number before desorbing. …”

Emergency depopulation of chicken farms during an avian influenza outbreak (Design and development of CO2 delivery system) by Chang, Wei Jun

“…This virus was predominantly found to originate from chickens. Although the bird flu virus is endemic in the South East Asian region at the moment, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), a local statutory board that regulates food safety, has come up with several guidelines to not only prevent the introduction, but also to limit the spread of the virus. …”

Decentralized online social network primitives by Rajesh Sharma

“…This is challenging due to the fact that problems need to be solved without global coordination of local information and local links. We explore \distributed social computing" to solve various challenges in a DOSN. …”

Revealing Structural and Spin-state Dependent Reactivity of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) with Systematically Improvable Computational Tools by Jia, Haojun (贾皓钧)

“…In this thesis, we use range-separated hybrid density functional theory (DFT) to compare the energetics and structure of the direct metal-coordinating environment in the presence of 2p (i.e., N or O) and 3p (i.e., P or S) dopants and with increasing finite graphene model flake size to mimic differences in local rigidity. …”

Structural Emergency Control Paradigm by Vu, Thanh Long, Chatzivasileiadis, Spyros, Chiang, Hsiao-Dong, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…In response to emergency situations, load shedding is a prevailing approach where local protective devices are activated to cut a suitable amount of load to quickly rebalance the supply demand and hopefully stabilize the system. …”
