Languages : fr
Pages : 236
Book Description
Ce guide méthodologique, réalisé pour le compte du ministère chargé de l’Écologie a pour objectif d’améliorer la qualité des études hydrologiques, d’assurer une certaine homogénéité dans le mode de détermination des crues de référence à l’échelle du territoire national, et d’exploiter au mieux les informations hydrologiques disponibles sur les événements passés. Il dresse un inventaire des différentes méthodes probabilistes de prédétermination des crues avec une série d’exemples d’application et une partie bibliographique. Il est destiné aux services de l’État chargés de l’instruction des PPR, et aux bureaux d’études et étudiants concernés par le risque inondation.

Semiparametric Theory and Missing Data
Author: Anastasios TsiatisPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387373454
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This book summarizes current knowledge regarding the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, in an organized and comprehensive manner. It starts with the study of semiparametric methods when there are no missing data. The description of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models is both rigorous and intuitive, relying on geometric ideas to reinforce the intuition and understanding of the theory. These methods are then applied to problems with missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

Book Description
‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Pages : 198
Book Description
A flood is a natural disaster that refers to the overflow of water from water bodies like rivers, seas or oceans leading to a submersion of land. Floods usually occur as a result of an ecological disturbance. Various upslope and downslope factors contribute to the occurrence of floods. Abrupt changes in precipitation, sudden and heavy melting of snow packs, etc. can also result in floods. The impact of floods can be varied, depending on the intensity of the disaster. Loss of life, damage to infrastructure, sewage systems, roadways, loss of power transmission and water-borne diseases are some of the common effects of floods. Chapters compiled in this book discuss the impacts and risk control measures with respect to floods in great detail. Different approaches, evaluations and advanced studies related to the impacts and management of floods have been included herein. This book include contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights to students as well as experts.
