Factors Affecting Disaster Preparedness,Response, and Recovery Using the Community Capitals Framework

Abstract

Disaster research often focuses on how and why communities are affected by a discrete extreme event. We used the community capitals framework to understand how community characteristics influence their preparedness, response to, and recovery from successive or multiple disasters using the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake and the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill as case studies. This study assesses community response to these disasters by reviewing published literature on impacts to create profiles for six communities and by identifying community capitals before and during these disasters, and throughout the long-term recovery. While the presence of rich natural capitals commonly contributed resources to pre-disaster planning and long-term recovery, restriction of resource access immediately following the disasters was detrimental to many communities. Communities with strong political, social, and financial capitals tended to fare better immediately following disasters, enabling longer-term processes of transformation or recovery. However, in some communities the oil spill undermined these capitals more than the earthquake and resulting tsunami. In understanding how use and reliance on community capitals can lead to varied recovery success from different kinds of disasters, these findings can help coastal managers and planners prepare for future disasters.

Modeling emulsification after an oil spill in the sea

A conceptual model for simulating oil emulsification after a spill in the ocean is presented. This paper contains the complete model formulation and scenario simulations. The model formulation is based on the most up-to-date research information available in the literature. The model uses minimum turbulence energy as a criterion to determine whether emulsification occurs. Once the emulsification happens, the model simulates water uptake and viscosity changes during emulsification. The model classifies emulsion into three categories: stable, meso-stable, and unstable emulsions based on a concept “stability index”. The model estimates the stability of the emulsion and simulates the process of de-emulsification when the emulsion is meso-stable or unstable. The model also considers the effects of evaporation on the formation of emulsification. Scenario simulations show how different types of emulsions are formed under different conditions. They also show how the emulsion stability changes with oil weathering.

CG系列曲轴箱废气嘴喷机油问题的改进设计

随着发动机排量的增加,发动机缸间隙随之增加、活塞窜气量相应增大、曲轴箱内气压增大、发动机温度升高、发动机内机油温度升高及机油气化程度增加等问题,这些问题均会直接或间接导致发动机废气嘴喷机油现象,使发动机各部件因缺乏机油出现异常,甚至发动机无法正常工作。改进后的曲轴箱废气循环结构,有利于防止机油从废气嘴中喷出,从而大大降低了机油的异常消耗,为保证发动机的正常工作奠定了基础。

汽车在行驶过程中熄火会突然失去动力及造成转向和制动性能下降,危害严重.针对某车型在地区适应性试验过程中发生多次熄火的现象,进行油泵熄火验证试验,测得熄火时油轨压力瞬间下降,找出熄火原因为油泵抗气阻能力差.采取燃油泵储油桶引射口增加隔板,增大油泵底座外轨排气孔和进油口尺寸等方法,可有效提高油泵的抗气阻能力.该方案通过了道路测试的验证,为如何设计油泵来抵抗油箱气阻提供了一些依据.
