As the incidence rate of the last reported AHC cases in Keelung (on October 22) was 0.14%, we set this rate as a cut-off point for comparing the effectiveness of the countermeasures used by the two cities.
With the battlefield constantly shifting, countermeasures using a variety of technologies must be developed, though it is difficult to counter IEDs through technological means alone.
This paper investigates the mechanism of reduction in the amplitude of vortex-induced vibrations for a box girder bridge section in the presence of aerodynamic countermeasures using 3D LES turbulence model.
These include: legal actions and regulations on illicit traders, countermeasures using technologies, consumer education and cooperation with enforcement agencies.
According to these principles, lean yields high levels of performance as it: (a) standardizes work and reduces ambiguity, (b) connects people who are dependent on one another, (c) creates seamless, uninterrupted flow of work through the process, and (d) empowers staff to investigate process problems and to develop, test, and implement countermeasures using a "scientific method" [ 26].
These changes resulted in improvement because they: (a) standardized work and reduced ambiguity, (b) connected people who were dependent on one another, (c) enhanced seamless, uninterrupted flow through the process, and (d) empowered staff to investigate problems and to develop countermeasures using a "scientific method".
Acoustic wars between bats and potential insect prey have further enriched the discipline by identifying acoustic measures and countermeasures used by the players.
Wind tunnel tests were conducted in order to confirm the performance of the new countermeasure by using the essential attachments.
Special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of alternative remediation or countermeasure strategies using the multi-criteria decision support tool Web-HIPRE in scenario focused decision making workshops involving different stakeholder and expert groups.
