Abstract | Several recent events in the U.S. have highlighted the criticality and vulnerability of infrastructure systems to sudden shocks such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and food shortages. Proper understanding of such disruptive scenarios and their impact using holistic and integrated systems modeling techniques is crucial for effective resource allocation and disaster management. An Input-Output (IO) based framework is presented for studying the effect of sudden shocks and quantifying the associated risks on complex industrial networks. We are specifically using the IO model to understand the impact of changes in the availability of natural resources including natural capital on industrial systems. This includes understanding the potential impact of loss of services such as pollination, water scarcities, and soil fertility. The utility of the framework is highlighted using two case studies involving loss of pollination services provided by managed honeybees and reduction in the availability of crude oil. The approach is suitable for modeling the effect of sudden perturbations such as resource shortage on the complex industrial systems and identifying industrial sectors with greatest sensitivity to a given perturbation. This work is expected to complement the traditional biophysical models and methods by including the behavior of complex industrial networks under sudden shocks, quantifying the associated risks and support a decision-making framework for risk management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
