伊東豊雄　技術と社会 by Xavier Guillot グザビエ・ギヨ

“…As evidence of the fragility and vulnerability of this country it has undergone a bursting of a real estate bubble, demographic decline, and two earthquakes, one in Kōbe and the other in Tōhoku. It is in this context that the career path of the architect Itō Toyō underwent a remarkable change which was set off by a challenge to prevalent modern thinking in the practise of spatial design projects. …”

Incorporating a Bayesian Network into Two-Stage Stochastic Programming for Blood Bank Location-Inventory Problem in Case of Disasters by Shutong Chen, Changjun Wang

“…Our idea is to consider the disasters as the natural consequences of interaction among multiple interdependent uncertain factors, such as the locations and the levels of disasters, the number of casualties, and the availabilities of rescue facilities, which work together to influence the rescue effects of the BLN. Thus, taking earthquakes as the example, a Bayesian Network is proposed to describe such uncertainties and interdependences and, then, we incorporate it into a dedicated two-stage multi-period stochastic programming model for the BLN. …”
