The present paper proposes a new methodology to characterize the landslide susceptibility of Reggio Calabria metropolitan area. For this purpose, various factors were used, such as land use, slope, rainfall, elevation, lithology, distance from roads and rivers, thanks use GIS devices AHP method, risk was defined for whole territory. values obtained classified into four categories: low, moderate...

To take advantage of today’s technology, many organizations are migrating from their legacy systems. With help from the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL) and Cognetics Corporation, the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is currently undergoing an effort to redesign their information system to take advantage of graphical user interfaces. As a research lab, HCIL identifies i...

Earthquake is one of the major natural calamity. So prediction of the reach of earthquake event to the various locations could result in minimizing the disaster due to it. This system contains the design of sensor system and the techniques used for detection and processing of the received signals in real time. In this system, an earthquake which is also known as a tremor or temblor is the resul...

Presented herein is a methodology for the seismic and hydraulic assessment of the re-liability of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) based on general seismic assessment standards, as per the American Lifelines Alliance (ALA) guidelines, localized historical records of critical risk-of-failure metrics pertaining to the specific UWDN under assessment, and hydraulic simulations using adapted...

Practical planning systems for real-world environments imply a striking challenge, because the planning and visualization techniques available are not that straightforwardly applicable. Skeletal plans are an e ective way to reuse existing domain-speci c procedural knowledge, but leave room for execution-time exibility. However, the basic concepts of skeletal plans are not suÆcient in our medica...
