BACKGROUND Medical emergency staff complete understanding of the nature of resiliency in burn events is a prerequisite for improving the quality of clinical service delivery in pre-hospital burn events. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to describe resiliency in view of medical emergency staff in burn events. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present qualitative study was performed using a content...

This study aims to examine the effect of a 16-week Pilates exercise program on the ego resiliency and depression in elderly women. Before participating in Pilates exercise programs, researcher explained the purpose and the intention of the research to elderly women who were willing to participate in this research. A total of 148 elderly women agreed to participate in the program and they filled...

One of complementary value propositions of microgrids is to improve power system resiliency via local supply of loads and curtailment reduction. This subject is investigated in this paper by proposing a resiliency-oriented microgrid optimal scheduling model. The proposed model aims at minimizing the microgrid load curtailment by efficiently scheduling available resources when supply of power fr...

In the last decade, we witness a proliferation of potential application domains of wireless sensor networks (WSN). Therefore, a host of research works have been conducted by both academic and industrial communities. Nevertheless, given the sensitivity of the potential applications that are generally tightly related to the physical world and may be human beings, a large scale deployment of WSN d...

The purpose of this study was to establish the relation between resiliency and the level of positive changes, comprising posttraumatic growth in a group of firefighters experiencing job-related traumatic events and the mediating role of stress appraisal in this relation. The study was performed on a group of 100 firefighters from firefighting and rescue brigades, out of which 75 admitted to exp...

We apply autocorrelation and Walsh coefficients for the investigation of correlation immune and resilient Boolean functions. We prove new lower bound for the absolute indicator of resilient functions that improves significantly (for m > (n − 3)/2) the bound of Zheng and Zhang [18] on this value. We prove new upper bound for the number of nonlinear variables in high resilient Boolean function. T...

This thesis presents the notion of computational resiliency to provide reliability in heterogeneous distributed applications. The notion provides both software fault tolerance and the ability to tolerate information warfare (IW) attacks. This technology seeks to strengthen a military mission, rather than protect its network infrastructure using static defense measures such as network security, ...

cities are complex and interdependent systems and they are vulnerable to threats from both natural hazards and terrorism. features that make cities feasible and desirable, the architectural structure, population concentration, places of assembly and interconnected infrastructure, also put them at high risk to natural hazards and terrorist attack. a recent review of worldwide natural hazard loss...
