Improving the Performance of Index Insurance Using Crop Models and Phenological Monitoring Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Higginbottom, Thomas P.; Parkes, Ben; Hufkens, Koen; Mansabdar, Sanjay; Ceballos, Francisco; Kramer, Berber (2021-03-01) Extreme weather events cause considerable damage to the livelihoods of smallholder farmers globally. Whilst index insurance can help farmers cope with the financial consequences of extreme weather, a major challenge for index insurance is basis risk, where insurance payouts correlate poorly with actual crop losses. We analyse to what extent the use of crop simulation models and crop phenology monitoring can reduce basis risk in index insurance. Using a biophysical process-based crop model (Agricultural Prod...
Improving the energy conversion stability of hybrid solar photovoltaic / wind turbine renewable energy systems Aşçıoğlu, Berk; Batunlu, Canraş; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019-8) In the last few years, renewable energy sources such as wind turbines, photovoltaics, hydropower stations etc. have become widespread because of raising energy needs of the world. Since the fossil fuel consumption excessively has increased, lack of energy has caused the renewable energy requirement. Furthermore, renewable energy has an important role because of the economic and environmental worries. In other words, industrial and inhabitant needs by provided the traditional energy is no longer a successful...
Improving performance of index insurance using crop models and phenological monitoring Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Parkes, Ben; Hufkens, Koen; Ceballos, Francisco (2020-05-04) Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across Asia and Africa. Weather index-based insurance provides a potential solution to mitigate risks caused by crop failures, providing farmers with a payout in the event of a poor harvest. It also reduces costs relative to traditional indemnity insurance by eliminating the need for resource-intensive, in-situ assessment of losses. However, one challenge associated with weather index-based insurance is basis risk – wher...
Improving the efficiency of graph-based concept discovery systems Abay, Nazmiye Ceren; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Concept discovery is a process for finding hidden relations from the given set of experiences named as background knowledge [27]. Concept discovery problems are investigated under Inductive Logic Programming (ILP)-based approaches and graph-based approaches [28]. Although ILP-based systems dominate the area, these systems have some problems such as local maxima and local plateaus [15]. Recently, graph based system becomes more popular due to its flexible structure, clear representation of data and ability o...
Improving scalability and efficiency of ILP-based and graph-based concept discovery systems Mutlu, Alev; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) Concept discovery is the problem of finding definitions of target relation in terms or other relation given as a background knowledge. Inductive Logic Programming (ILP)-based and graph-based approaches are two competitors in concept discovery problem. Although ILP-based systems have long dominated the area, graph-based systems have recently gained popularity as they overcome certain shortcomings of ILP-based systems. While having applications in numerous domains, ILP-based concept discovery systems still su...
