As a result, the culture and mood at many companies has changed as executives have reevaluated their place in the current market and developed strategies to allow them continued success. As companies evolve, it is important that they cater to their employees, who are their biggest asset. By creating a more enjoyable work environment for employees, companies are positioning themselves better for success. In this paper, we discuss five aspects of creating competitive advantages through people: (1) a belief in individual responsibility and autonomy and a strong sense of team collaboration; (2) a culture of continual training, education, and mentoring; (3) a challenging work environment in which everyone is committed to excellence; (4) open communication and collaboration; and (5) strong leadership to challenge and support employees to reach higher levels of success. Each of these topics is complex and could be discussed in significantly more deta...","PeriodicalId":248732,"journal":{"name":"Leadership and Management in Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116740945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe a workshop that included a tabletop scenario exercise to familiarize a mix of graduate, undergraduate, and high school students with systems analysis and decision making during real-world events. Bridging the data and information management and translation-to-knowledge functions through triage of information to create actionable information arguably represents the most critical and vulnerable link in the information fusion process.

In this paper, the writers outline residents’ evacuation behaviors during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and the resulting nuclear disaster and tsunami. An analysis of these evacuation behaviors shows the significance of cooperation between residents and of problems caused by two types of bias: normalcy and majority syncing. Next, the writers describe how residents’ cooperation behaviors accumulate to form cooperation networks and apply the fitness model to the formation of these networks. A case study of network formation in response to a mudslide disaster in the city of Niihama in 2004 is provided. The writers estimate the fitness parameters and analyze the network formation process and structure on the basis of the distribution of the fitness parameters and show the scale-free characteris...","PeriodicalId":248732,"journal":{"name":"Leadership and Management in Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126806041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The means of characterizing and preparing for disasters can vary widely, even among engineers. Thus, clarity is required in communicating how scientific principles are applied in preventing and responding to disasters. This paper discusses lessons learned from environmental and other disasters regarding risk assessment and management, including the role of perception, and five types of failure that may occur during a disaster: miscalculations, extraordinary natural circumstances, critical path, negligence, and inaccurate prediction of contingencies. Examples from past disasters are used to illustrate these concepts.","PeriodicalId":248732,"journal":{"name":"Leadership and Management in Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126892461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit, which separates urine and feces, is produced from ready-to-assemble plastic cardboard, which facilitates transportation and stocking. The separated feces are processed without any water and electricity using a mixture of lime and carbonized rice husks or dry soil, which promotes the drying and alkalization of feces for disinfection and deodorization. The urine may be discharged without treatment because it contains few pathogens. By July 2011, 54 units had been provided to the disaster-affected areas of East Japan, where they have been evaluated positively and acquired for future preparedness. This paper describes the development of this portable toilet unit and proposes a disaster responsive and environmentally friendly system for routine use in public buildings that, in emergencie...","PeriodicalId":248732,"journal":{"name":"Leadership and Management in Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123505478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This level of devastation can largely be attributed to political and economic issues including struggles with education, government oversight of civil works, and general lack of resources that historically prohibited the establishment of reliable civil infrastructure. Any reconstruction effort needs to understand the significant constraints these conditions create in order to provide truly empowering solutions that build genuine local capacity.

Modelers of these processes must recognize that the states of the system, whether of the affected infrastructures or of the communities, constitute essential building blocks of the constructed models. The physical states of all infrastructures and the states of well-being of all communities are functions of time; thus, the time frame in modeling, as well as in preparedness and in risk analysis, is of paramount importance. Furthermore, the vulnerability and resilience of a system (physical or natural) to a specific threat (initiating event) are manifestations of the states of the system. This implies that the risk to a targeted system from a specific threat is a function of the states, the vulnerability, the resilience...","PeriodicalId":248732,"journal":{"name":"Leadership and Management in Engineering","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115223129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to requests by the U.S. Army, the writers provided flood extents to aid humanitarian assistance in the affected areas. Numerical modeling provided the best way to compute the flooding in this situation, but with limited bathymetric, topographic, and inflow information, assumptions had to be made; timelines were of significantly higher importance than complete accuracy. The writers developed an adaptive hydraulics (AdH) model of the Indus River from Sukkur to the Arabian Sea covering approximately 180,000 km2 of Pakistan. Based on aerial images taken during the flood, the writers later compared the model results to the flood extents to determine the level of accuracy of the model.
