Financing of multiple use (i.e. domestic and productive) water services was identified as an important ingredient to ensure improved water access for rural poor and broaden livelihood options in South Africa. Following the principles of integrated water resource management (IWRM), efficient, equitable and sustainable investments in improved water services should be based on a thorough understanding of actual demand by

Failure scenarios analysis constitutes one of the cornerstones of risk assessment and availability analysis. After a detailed review of available methods, this paper identified two distinct formalisms to analyze failure scenarios and systems' availability: generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPN) and Fault tree driven Markov processes (FTDMP). The FTDMP formalism is a combination of the Markov process and the fault tree. This aims to overcome fault tree limitations while maintaining the use of deductive logic. The GSPN is a Petri net with probabilistic analysis using Monte Carlo simulation. The effectiveness of both methods is studied through an emergency flare system including a knockout drum. It is observed that GSPN provides a robust and reliable mechanism for accident scenario analysis. It provides additional information such as events' frequencies at operating and failing modes and expected occurrence timing and durations resulting from different complex sequences. Even for multi-state variables which could be used to design a safety management system. Although FTDMP is a powerful formalism, it provides limited information.

Unmanned aerial vehicles were once the stuff of rumor and legend, identified as new and Mysterious robots in the sky. Apart from military applications there are many jobs to be performed monitoring and rescue, the unmanned aerial vehicles are used for photo-grammetry tasks. This new technology been the case across various disciplines such as mapping, remote sensing, civil engineering, geology, geomorphology, mili-tary engineering, land planning, and communications. It is encouraging that more literature is now available in this discipline. This book was written with the intention to add to and benefit this field of study. I am pleased to present you with this 1st edition of this book. It intro-duces the classes and types of platforms available, and examines their per-formance, structure, propulsion and systems to be suitable for photogram-metry. Sensor and payloads, methods of launch and recovery, image pro-cessing and geospatial analysis. In its nine chapters, this book carries out several tasks: Drones field of uses, classification of drones, technical structures of drones, drones flight planning and software, drone photogrammetry methods, data processing and geospatial analysis. The purpose of this book is to give an idea about drone for researchers and students to apply this new technology in research-es and projects, and introduce them to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles new era leading to a treasure of information. My message to the readers is: “Use new technology”.

Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel methodology for supporting application mapping onto FPGAs with fault tolerance even if this feature is not supported by the target platform. For the purposes of this paper we incorporate three techniques for error correction. The introduced fault tolerance can be implemented either as a hardware modification, or through annotating the application's HDL. Also, we show that the existing approaches for fault tolerance result to hardware wastage, since there is no demand for applied them uniformly ...

Abstract This paper presents our experience of designing the educational collaborative role-play game ORIENT with a special focus on the multimodal interaction used in the game. The idea behind ORIENT is to try increasing a user's intercultural empathy through role-play set in a science fiction narrative in which the users have to befriend an alien race, the Sprytes. The Sprytes are virtual characters that communicate with the users through a mix of gestures and natural language.
