Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComprehensive Assessment of Spatial Distribution of Road-Network Vulnerability in South AsiaPan Yuqi, Jiang Penghui, Li Manchun, Chen DengshuaiUnexpected phenomena-natural disasters, accidents and wars-can disrupt regional traffic systems because of the incapacities of road networks to sustain inflicted impacts. Therefore, the assessment of road-network vulnerability becomes integral to traffic-safety-maintenance and accident-prevention procedures. This study demonstrates the development of a comprehensive network system based on suggested improvements in node extraction, road construction and network attribution. An indicator system for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 24 Dec 2021 · 6,446 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessEvery word in the titleSurvey of Websites and Web Application Security Threats Using Vulnerability AssessmentVincent Appiah, Michael Asante, Isaac Kofi Nti, Owusu Nyarko-BoatengNowadays information has become anasset to many institutions and as a result these institutions have become targets for people with malicious intents to attack these institutions. The web is now an important means of transacting business and without security, websites cannot thrive in today’s complex computer ecosystem as there are new threats emerging as old ones are being tackled. Vulnerability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 27 Jan 2018 · 9,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlood Vulnerability Mapping to Riverine Floods: A Study on the Old Brahmaputra RiverMuhammad Rezaul Rakib, Md. Nurul Islam, Muhammod Nazrul IslamFlood is an inevitable natural phenomenon occurring from time to time in all rivers and natural drainage systems of Bangladesh. It causes damage to lives and natural resources as well as the loss of economy and health. This study illustrates the flood vulnerability mapping to riverine floods in the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh Sadar upazila. The flood vulnerability mapping … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 22 Dec 2017 · 14,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessing the Environmental and Socio-Economic Risk Factors of Climate Vulnerability in Low-Income Settlements of Kitwe City in ZambiaGeorge Kasali, Julius Kanyembo, Mapenzi Phiri, Mainza SibajeneRecent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have clearly shown that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet and especially to the social and economic development of Africa.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and identify the risk factors associated with climate vulnerability in selected slum settlements of Kitwe … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleContamination Risk Evaluation of Groundwater in the Canton of Portoviejo-Ecuador, using Susceptibility Index and two Intrinsic Vulnerability ModelsSuhail SharadqahThe present study aims to investigate the applicability of DRASTIC, GOD and SI models in evaluating the groundwater vulnerability and risk of contamination in the Canton of Portoviejo, Ecuador. The groundwater vulnerability to contamination has been evaluated using DRASTIC and GOD models. Both models were able to classify the study area into different sectors of variable vulnerability. The coincidence of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2017 · 7,511 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability Assessment of Power System Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network and a New Feature Extraction MethodAhmed M.A. Haidar, Azah Mohamed, Aini HussainVulnerability assessment in power systems is important so as to determine how vulnerable a power system in case of any unforeseen catastrophic events. This paper presents the application of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) for vulnerability assessment of power system incorporating a new proposed feature extraction method named as the Neural Network Weight Extraction (NNWE) for dimensionality reduction of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
