Abstract:

Software-intensive systems operating in a shared environment must utilize a â request, acquire and releaseâ protocol. In the popular client-server architecture resource-poor clients rely on servers for the needed capabilities. With mobile clients using wireless connectivity, the disparity in resource needs can force the consideration of adaptation by clients, leading to a strategy of self-reliance. Achieving self-reliance through adaptation becomes even more attractive in environments, which are dynamic and continually changing. A more comprehensive strategy is for the mobile client to

Abstract:

This thesis addresses local adaptation to climate change-induced sea level rise, taking an ethical perspective and focusing at the role of planning and the planner. The research, which has been conducted within a transdisciplinary research project, takes a bottom-up approach to applied ethics, and relies to a great extent on empirical data. In doing this, it contributes to the growing field of ethics of climate change adaptation, with results that can be of interest to both ethicists and planners. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three articles. Article 1: Departing from an

Abstract:

When the light reflected from an object differs in spectral composition to the surrounding background these spectral differences are reflected in the excitation levels produced in each class of photoreceptor. The ability to see colours and to notice small colour differences is strongly affected by both the spectral composition and luminance level of the adapting light. Knowledge of the limits of colour detection is important in setting safety standards and guidelines in visually demanding workplaces, as varying conditions of illumination and chromatic adaptation are often encountered in differ

Nowadays embedded devices have the need to be portable, battery powered and high performance. This need for high performance makes power management a matter of critical priority. Power management algorithms exist, but most of the approaches focus on an energy-performance trade-off oblivious to the applications running on the system. Others are application-specific and their solution cannot be applied to other applications. This work proposes Shepherd, a cross-layer runtime management system for reduction of energy consumption whilst offering soft real-time performance. It is cross-layer becaus

Abstract:

Agriculture is one of the sectors most affected by climate change in Bangladesh. Crop production, especially staple crops, such as paddy, wheat, maize, and grains are the most vulnerable due to variations in temperature and precipitation changes. Among other consequences of climate change, sea level rise is one of the most severe threats to Bangladesh. Ongoing coastal flooding and its related salinity intrusion have already affected large portions of the irrigable lands in coastal regions of Bangladesh, resulting in a year-to-year variability in major crop yield productivity in coastal regions

To enable informed adaptation decisions, the present study created a dynamic stochastic modeling framework based on the theoretical underpinnings of complex adaptive systems that integrates: (i) stochastic simulation of sea-level rise stressors based on the

Abstract:

A common platform for both disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) has been sought around the world to reduce human vulnerability, enhance adaptive capacity and achieve other contemporary global targets. This policy framework at global and national level creates a challenge for local level implementation: climate change is a global risk predicted by scientists whereas disaster vulnerability is experienced by local people. To consider these circumstances, the thesis examines how DRR and CCA can be integrated at local level and what kind of governance and institutions a

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2009.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 67-69).<br>Regardless of how well we implement sustainability plans, now and in the future, the weight of scientific evidence indicates that mean sea level will continue to rise at an increasing rate over the next century. Thus, coastal lands and development lie in a precarious position, increasingly vulnerable to flood damage brought by storm surges and extreme weather events. In order to avoid disastrous losses of property, life, ecological health and

Abstract:

In this study, the factors influencing zooplankton community structure in Turkish shallow lakes were elucidated with four main approaches: (i) space-for-time substitution for shallow lakes using snap-shot sampling in 31 lakes along a latitudinal gradient<br>(ii) in-situ mesocosm experiments in eleven lakes along a latitudinal gradient using three sets of artificial plants systems<br>(iii)&lsquo<br>Habitat Choice&rsquo<br>laboratory experiments mimicking a &lsquo<br>shallow littoral&rsquo<br>zone with plants and a &lsquo<br>deeper pelagic&rsquo<br>zone with sediments testing the response of Dap

Abstract:

Extreme weather events have become a common occurrence and coastal communities are adversely affected by it. Studies have shown that the changing climate has increased the frequency and severity of storms, surging sea levels, and floods, as was seen with Hurricane Sandy (2012) and Typhoon Haiyan (2013). The need to be proactive in preparing for these events, as a means of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, is evident. This study focuses on the formal definition, measurement and simulation of coastal community preparedness and response to severe storm events. Preparedness an

Abstract:

Sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate. Using a novel approach in Australian sea level rise (SLR) adaptation research, this Honours thesis uses three case studies in New South Wales - Botany Bay, Lake Macquarie and Collaroy-Narrabeen - to consider the broad threat of rising sea levels to coastal communities. First, document analysis of current sea level rise adaptation plans shows that each local council perceives “adaptation as resilience”, prioritising the exposure of the built-environment over human vulnerability. However, using socio-spatial mapping highlights the inadequacy of cur

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze how major transnational firms adjust their corporate visual identity (CVI) when entering foreign markets and to determine whether there is a relationship between firmand market-level factors and CVI adjustments as well as an impact on a company’s performance. Methodology/approach: A deductive approach was applied utilizing triangulation with quantitative research through a content analysis of websites of transnational firms (n=329) and qualitative research through semi-structured interviews with six firms. Findings: Out of all observed companies

Abstract:

This research investigates the impact of climate change on agriculture and farmers’ adaptation in a setting of a developing country. Empirical investigation is based on first hand survey data collected from rice farms situated in different climatic zones across Bangladesh. This thesis is composed of seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the background and motivation, aims, scope and rationale for choosing Bangladesh as the context for this research. A brief overview of the Bangladesh economy, its agriculture and the climate change situation from the historical perspective is contained in Chapter

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between training in learning style adaptation and successful completion of community college courses. The rationale for conducting this study was based on the need for students to learn how to adapt their learning style in order to more effectively learn in any situation. It is also important that community colleges implement strategies that assist in student retention. The learning styles of entry-level community college students were measured using Kolb's Learning Style Inventory Version 3. Students enrolled in entry-leve
