Barrier resilience is an algorithmic optimization problem in computational geometry motivated by the design of wireless sensor networks, in which one seeks a path through a collection of barriers (often modeled as unit disks) that passes through as few barriers as possible. (Wikipedia).
Anne Kiremidjian: A resilient city is a sustainable city
A city’s ability to bounce back from extreme events and persistent stressors is a key component of urban sustainability, says Stanford professor of civil and environmental engineering Anne Kiremidjian at the Digital Cities Summit 2016. But this idea of urban resiliency isn’t just about reb

How modern road barriers keep our roads safe
Driving down the massive modern highways of today would be far more dangerous if there weren’t barriers on the side of the roadway. 🚙 Have you ever wondered how road barriers keep cars and pedestrians safe? What would happen if we had no road barriers on our roads? 🤔 Watch our video to

A Few Observations on the Marvelous Resilience of Bone & Resilience Engineering - Dr. Richard Cook
ramatic and mundane examples of resilience have encouraged a search for resilience engineering. The possibility of deliberately exploiting or enhancing resilience is tantalizing. But what exactly is resilience engineering? There are at least two possible forms: first, engineering that expl

The route to greater resilience is to explore how well we would cope if so much of what we think we need were to be taken away from us. We would, almost certainly, manage far better than we think in our timid moments. If you like our films, take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): http

Managing reefs for resilience framework
Managing reefs for resilience to climate change is critical as the frequency and severity of bleaching events is predicted to increase. However, little guidance is available on how to interpret and use resilience data to inform management. The Nature Conservancy's Sangeeta Mangubhai and

RubyConf 2021 - Surprise! Inspiring Resilience by Cory Watson
Resilience is the ability to function in the face of damage or failure. This is a desirable trait in all of our work, but can be rather difficult to achieve. Let's look outside of our own practices to find inspiration for our own work! In this talk we'll bring examples from outside tech.
