Abstract: Described herein are computer implemented frameworks and methodologies for enabling climate change related risk analysis. Aspects of the technology are especially applicable where a desire exists to understand risks in systems containing a large number of interdependent assets.

Abstract: Described herein are computer implemented frameworks and methodologies for enabling risk analysis (and in some cases resilience testing) for a system comprising physical assets. This may include use of a disaggregation/re-aggregation methodology thereby to understand risks based on engineering parameters underlying assets. Some embodiments take into particular consideration risks that evolve over time due to changes in climate and other external or internal scenarios. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to such applications, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

Abstract: New copolyester composition that provides excellent filament spinning and mill/yarn processing of staple fiber into fabrics having combination of excellent pilling performance as well as aesthetics and tactility ("hand"). Preferred fibers have non-round cross-sections, especially multi-grooved and scalloped-oval cross-sections that provide fabrics having outstanding comfort qualities of moisture-management, dryness and comfort, as well as minimal pilling.
