Risk and Decision Analysis in Maintenance Optimization and Flood Management
IOS Press 2009; US$ 94.00The late professor JM Van Noortwijk (1961-2008) worked to bridge the practice of mathematical modeling with solving complex problems in civil engineering. This book contains an overview of his work, and covers topics such as condition-based maintenance optimization using the gamma process, and the assessment and management of flood risks. more...
Carbon Responsibility and Embodied Emissions
Taylor and Francis 2010; US$ 130.00Climate change policy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are currently discussed at all scales, ranging from the Kyoto Protocol to the increasingly frequent advertisement of ''carbon neutrality'' in consumer products. However, the only policy option usually considered is the reduction of direct emissions. Another potential policy tool,... more...
