A Polymorphic Approach To Esports Betting, Chadohl Kang
A Polymorphic Approach To Esports Betting, Chadohl Kang
Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
With the Supreme Court ruling in Murphy v. NCAA, states can legalize sports betting. Many states have chosen to do so. Unfortunately, it is still unclear whether electronic sports, or Esports, is included in the legislations. This is due in part to society not seeing Esports as a true sport. For a growing, nearly billion dollar industry, this isn’t good news. The polymorphic approach can be a resolution to this situation. The polymorphic approach to sports allows states to decide if it is in their interest to view Esports as a sport in betting legislation. Based on the possible revenue …

Livelihoods Of Local Communities In An Amazonian Floodplain Coping With Global Changes: From Role-Playing Games To Hybrid Simulations To Involve Local Stakeholders In Participatory Foresight Study At Territorial Level, Pierre Biommel, Marie-Paule Bonnet, Emilie Coudel, Eva Haentjens, Cleber Nunes Kraus, Gustavo Melo, Stephanie Nasuti, Christophe Le Page

In the Amazonian floodplains, the local populations living from agricultural activities and fishing, have always coped natural variations, between flood and dry seasons. However, the rhythm and the amplitude of these floods are disturbed nowadays, resulting in great uncertainty for these populations. Biophysics and social scientists have joined hands to help these populations better improve their resilience to such changes. Our initial goal aims to better understand and discuss the impacts of current practices in the long term. To address this, we first turned the perspective around the preoccupations and strategies of local populations and collectively discussed possible future scenarios. …
Automated Landing Site Determination For Unmanned Rotocraft Surveillance Applications, Justin Keith Mackay
Automated Landing Site Determination For Unmanned Rotocraft Surveillance Applications, Justin Keith Mackay
Theses and Dissertations
Unmanned air vehicles have been increasing in their autonomous capabilities. This research furthers these capabilities by focusing on the automation of landing site determination for rotorcraft in urban environments. Automated landing saves energy and allows the aircraft to choose areas that are safe for people and the aircraft. Two methods are used to gather information about the terrain of potential landing sites. One method is 3D reconstruction from multiple camera images. The other method uses a range sensor to reconstruct the terrain. Both of these methods create an inertial terrain map of the environment in the form of a point …
Systems Dynamics Approach To Reducing Carbon Emissions From Deforestation And Forest Degradation At Provincial Level, Herry Purnomo, Lutfy Abdullah, Rika Harini Irawati
Systems Dynamics Approach To Reducing Carbon Emissions From Deforestation And Forest Degradation At Provincial Level, Herry Purnomo, Lutfy Abdullah, Rika Harini Irawati
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Forest and land use change contribute 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, whichcause global warming. The Conference of Parties (COP) 16 in Mexico increased politicalcommitment to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation and to enhance carbonstock (REDD+). We believe this support will continue at COP 18 in Doha, Qatar. However,various actors including local communities may or may not support REDD+ depending on,among others, their perceived impacts. To explore this situation, we have developed asystems dynamics model This model comprises sectors of landscape, population, locallivelihoods, environmental services and government incomes. The model simulateslandscape and carbon dynamics and their impacts. We compare “business …
Study On Vegetation Indices Selection And Changing Detection Thresholds Selection In Land Cover Change Detection Assessment Using Change Vector Analysis, Nguyen Ba Duy, Tran Thi Huong Giang, Tong Si Son
Study On Vegetation Indices Selection And Changing Detection Thresholds Selection In Land Cover Change Detection Assessment Using Change Vector Analysis, Nguyen Ba Duy, Tran Thi Huong Giang, Tong Si Son
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
In recent years, the rapidly urbanization and industrialization has caused dramatic changes in land cover. The study on change detection of land cover plays a signification role in making strategy of the managers. Approaches in change detection research using remote sensing and GIS can be categorized into two main groups: post-classification change detection analysis and pre-classification changing spectral determination. The pre-classification approach is further divided into different methods such as: Image Differencing, Multi-date Principal Component Analysis (MPCA); Change Vector Analysis (CVA). Among these, the CVA method is based on two important indices in order to reveal the primary feature of …
Impacts Of Human Settlements On A Coastal Landscape: The Case Of Rio Verde Basin, Mexico, Cuitlahuac Hernandez-Santiago, Martin Volk, Joerg A. Priess
Impacts Of Human Settlements On A Coastal Landscape: The Case Of Rio Verde Basin, Mexico, Cuitlahuac Hernandez-Santiago, Martin Volk, Joerg A. Priess
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Human settlements require natural resources to cover their needs for shelter, food, water, etc., which creates environmental impacts. This is particularly true for new rural settlements which obtain these resources from their nearby surroundings. Current analysis of land-use change has taken inhabited settlements as subject of study where population dynamics or socio-economic changes can be assessed. In the present study we analyse extent and patterns of land-use change found around four different types of settlements (permanent, intermittent, new and abandoned) in a coastal river basin in Mexico. The methodological steps of our investigation include analyses of a) multi-temporal land-use change, …
Linking Wildfire Behaviour And Land-Use Modelling In Northern Mongolia, Christian Schweitzer, Joerg A. Priess
Linking Wildfire Behaviour And Land-Use Modelling In Northern Mongolia, Christian Schweitzer, Joerg A. Priess
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Numerous approaches of modelling wildfires have been published covering the regime itself, ignition probabilities, spreading patterns, risks and impacts. However, there is less research linking these validated mature approaches to dynamics of the terrestrial environment. We contribute to filling this gap via integrating a newly developed wildfire module into a land-use model, enabling us to include wildfire-impacts in dynamic simulations of socio-environmental systems. In the forest steppe region of Northern Mongolia, wildfires are a major concern, threatening grassland and forest areas, which are already under pressure of droughts, heavy grazing, (illegal) logging and increasing firewood demand. We employ the generic …
