However, there is no proper theoretical or another similar justification for choosing an appropriate parametric probability distribution to predict peak discharges of floods by using observed data. As a permissible hypothesis, any of recommended probability distributions can be considered providing it meets the given statistical criteria and other considerations for the adequacy of simulation are taken into account. In turn, more than seventeen plotting position formulas have been proposed. They provide a non-parametric means to estimate the observed data probability distribution. Using a plotting position formula, a plot of the estimated values from a theoretical parametric probability distribution can be compared with the observed data.The choice of a better plotting position formula for fitting the different probability distributions has been discussed many times in hydrology and statistical literature. However, no specific criterion for choosing these formulas has been proposed yet. Perhaps there is no need for such a criterion. Maybe, the diversity of estimates that can be obtained due to these formulas matters more. Due to the diversity of the different plotting position estimates, from the point of view of informational entropy, different plotting position formulas enable revealing epistemic (non-stochastic or subjective) uncertainty in predictions of hydrological extremes.Results of calculating empirical annual probabilities of exceedance observed maxima discharge employing various plotting position formulas show that increasing the predicting horizon toward low probable and more extreme events increases the divergence between the estimates obtained using the different plotting position formulas. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this divergence may be extrapolated to predict design maxima discharges of floods based on empirical estimates of plotting position probabilities.This paper proposes a numerically-analytical method using such an extrapolation. It is based on using different plotting position formulas, numerical calculations of plotting position probabilities, and extrapolation of the divergence between the obtained estimates. The method is tested in predicting the maxima discharges of 0.5% and 1% annual probability of exceedance for the Uzh River flowing in the Transcarpathia region, the hydrological station “Uzhhorod” data.","PeriodicalId":474178,"journal":{"name":"Ekologìčna bezpeka ì prirodokoristuvannâ","volume":"265 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135359206","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 problem of ecological and technogenic danger of operating such objects, which leads to significant casualties among the civilian population, serious economic losses and harms the surrounding natural environment, is illustrated. The main causes of emergency situations have been established and analysed, it will help to reduce the risk of accidents and to minimize negative environmental consequences for similar facilities in Ukraine. The retrospective review covers the period from 1960 to 2022. During this time, about 150 cases of soil dams’ destruction in waste storage facilities were recorded. The different tendency in the frequency of accidents is noted. In particular, during the period from 1960 to 2009, there were 98 accidents with an average frequency of nearly two (1.98) per year. Over the last decade (2010-2020), the number of accidents reached 36 cases, and their frequency almost doubled to 3.6 accidents per year. Over the past two years, from the beginning of 2021 to December 2022, 10 accidents have already been registered. The vast majority of accidents during this period occurred in 34 countries of the world. The largest number of them was noted in the USA (22.4%), China (10.4%), Brazil (7.5%), Chile (6.7%), the Philippines (6.0%), Canada (5.2 %), Great Britain (4.5%) and other countries. Studies note jumps in the increase of accidents that have ten-year trends (1975, 1985, 1995, 2005). The general tendency of mass accidents since the beginning of 2015 is shown, which is substantiated by the expired terms of operation of many mining and ore enterprises (mines) and significant (exceeding normative) terms of operation of tailings storage facilities, which in some places were left without proper supervision and care. It was established that a violation of the dam slope stability (37%), an overflow of the designed capacity of the tailings storage facility (12%), seismic activity (11%), etc., are the main causes of accidents. A review of modern approaches to the management of dangerous anthropogenic objects and methods of diagnosing the technical condition of such structures was conducted.

Based on the analysis of experimental studies by world-class scientists, it is shown that for extensive \"green\" roofs, the average efficiency of rainwater retention is estimated between 45% and 60%, and the cumulative annual retention is about 50% and 60%, depending on the local climate. The results of a study on determining the degree of reduction of rainwater runoff from the surfaces of \"green\" roofs, which were conducted on two model roofs (extensive and intensive) in Poland, are given. It is well-founded that the rainwater absorbed by the layers of the \"green\" roof slowly evaporates over a long period of time, which means maintaining a more stable relative air humidity in the vicinity of the building. The method of determining the amount of rainwater runoff from the surface of \"green\" roofs, as well as determining the daily load of rainwater drainage on the analyzed site, is presented. It was established that about 44% of rainwater from torrential rains is retained in the layers of the \"green\" roof, and in the case of an intensity not exceeding 5 mm/day, rainwater is completely retained by both intensive and extensive roofs. The advantages of \"green\" technologies in the process of filtering rainwater, which can be collected in tanks and used for technical needs, are considered. The prospects of rainwater management using \"green\" roofing systems on roofs in different countries of the world and, in particular, in Ukraine, were analyzed.

On the basis of the conducted experiments, the regularities of the distribution of dust of different fractions in the horizontal and vertical planes of the working space at a distance covering the zone of the immediate location of the worker during this type of operation were determined. The obtained data made it possible to record a significant excess of the maximum allowable concentrations of finely dispersed residues of polyacrylonitrile fibers in the working area of the drill, 2.5 and 10 μm in size and elements of the carbon matrix. In order to investigate the possibility of a negative impact of the dust of the working area on the body of the worker, a study of the fractionation and geometric shape of carbon fiber fragments was performed using raster microscopy, based on which it was concluded that the fiber fragments have a spear-shaped, pointed shape, and the carbon matrix forms conglomerates, which are characterized sharp edges and can cause significant damage when they affect the human respiratory system.

In a number of cases, the maximum horizontal displacements turned out to be 2–3 orders of magnitude higher than the maximum displacements of elastic systems. For example, a displacement graph based on the 1985 Mexico City earthquake shows that the actual plastic displacements are 100 times the expected plastic displacements. In the case of other earthquakes, there are hundreds of subtle inconsistencies. The quantitative results concluded that the intensity of building vibrations exceeded 1.5 times the 9-point design seismic intensity 2.5 and that a special approach, including the need to consider impact effects, is needed and is particularly serious in such zones. This should also be taken into account. Inelastic deformations are indicated. The new calculation is used to study non-linear oscillations caused by impulsive actions of a continuous system. In the case of elastic vibration, changing the mass gives very different results. Reducing the lower mass by a factor of 3 reduces the displacement by a factor of 2.2 for the upper mass and 2.4 for the second mass. The same impact was applied to a 16-story building and the stiffness distribution of the rods was studied in different ways. The stiffness was constant everywhere, constant within 4 stories, where it varied linearly and parabolically with height. Displacements during the course of the pulse shock were greater in the stiffer buildings. Furthermore, the vibration decreases in amplitude by a factor of 3 or more for the upper mass and by a factor of 4 for the lower mass. The force on the upper rod is reduced by a factor of 4 and the force on the lower rod is reduced by a factor of 6. This will make it possible to perform calculations for a small time scale, which is necessary to take into account high-frequency oscillations that occur in the epicentric zone.","PeriodicalId":474178,"journal":{"name":"Ekologìčna bezpeka ì prirodokoristuvannâ","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135359409","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}

Worldwide, construction and the built environment contribute about 39% of global carbon dioxide (28% from operational emissions, from energy needed to heat, cool and power them, and the remaining 11% from materials and construction) and 50% of the world’s resource consumption. Thus, maximising energy efficiency and improving the environment are the main directions of construction development. Both tasks can be solved using green structures that connect living plants with building structures (green roofs, living facades and living interior walls). The data from the main organisations in the branch has been analysed: United Nations, The World Green Building Council, European Parlament and Council, and also Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction. They state the need for green and blue infrastructure, and sustainable urbanisation, incl. decarbonising of buildings and mitigation of urban heat islands. Greening of buildings is a measure to achieve the requirements. In addition, it improves health and well-being or increases biodiversity. Poland has the corresponding norms to stimulate the greening of buildings. The term “biologically active area” is defined as the area with an area arranged in a way that ensures natural vegetation of plants and rainwater retention; such an area also covers 50% of the surface of terraces and flat roofs with a vegetation layer with vegetation and other surfaces (e.g. green facade), providing natural vegetation of plants, with an area of not less than 10 m2, surface water in this area.

A multithreaded approach for shared-memory computing systems implemented on the basis of the OpenMP programming interface and a geometric decomposition approach with message-passing using the MPI library for distributed-memory computers are described. Multithreading for programming GPUs based on the OpenACC software interface is considered. For the COASTOX-UN system of two-dimensional modeling of hydrodynamics, sediment and radionuclide transport in river systems and coastal areas of the seas, the parallelization of its hydrodynamic model COASTOX-HD was carried out. In the developed numerical model, the shallow water equations are solved by finite-volume numerical methods on unstructured computational grids with triangular cells of variable size. The parallelization is implemented using a hybrid MPI+OpenACC approach targeting multiprocessor systems and GPUs. For multiprocessor computers, geometric decomposition and MPI-based messaging are used, and for GPUs, multithreading is implemented using OpenACC directives. The performance of the developed parallel hydrodynamic model was evaluated during the calculation of typical problems of hydrodynamics of shallow water bodies, river flood, and tsunami wave run-up on the coast on a Dell Precision Workstation 7920 multi-core workstation with two 20-core Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. It is shown that the developed model has significantly accelerated the simulation on the considered multiprocessor system and the considered GPUs. The acceleration on GPUs depends on the size of the computational grid, increasing to saturation with an increase in the number of grid cells. It is established that for the developed parallel model, whose numerical schemes are related to algorithms with low computational intensity, the memory bandwidth of the NVIDIA architecture GPUs is a more important limiting factor of acceleration than their performance.","PeriodicalId":474178,"journal":{"name":"Ekologìčna bezpeka ì prirodokoristuvannâ","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135359414","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}
