In specific geological contexts, such as alluvial environments, the lithology is highly heterogeneous and laterally variable. As a result, a large number of lithological data are collected (generally random and under sampled) for stratigraphic reconstruction. The integrated management of geo-lithologic data causes major methodological problems, because data obtained from geognostic investigatio...

This study presents quantitative, sociological models designed to account for cross-national variation in child mortality. We consider variables linked to five different theoretical perspectives that include the economic modernization, social modernization, political modernization, ecological-evolutionary, and dependency perspectives. The study is based on a cross-lagged effects regression anal...

In this paper we discuss the impact the use of IPv6 has on remote penetration testing of servers and web applications. Several modifications to the penetration testing process are proposed to accommodate IPv6. Among these modifications are ways of performing fragmentation attacks, host discovery and brute-force protection. We also propose new checks for IPv6-specific vulnerabilities, such as by...

Along the development of information technology systems among the public at large, also develops information systems to facilitate the public to access and search for information in the form of a website. Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) Palembang is a business unit set up to organize the service system of government procurement of goods or services electronically. And to allow companies o...

Introduction: In cemented total hip arthroplasty, the implant needs a mechanically stable cement-bone interface for its survival. This can be achieved by adequate cement penetration into the bone lacunar and trabecular spaces. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the strength of the cement-bone interface in relation to the amount of cement penetration, but mainly on a macro-scale [1]...

Cellular telephony and associated data services has been a major social phenomena for well over a decade now. It has changed the way – in some countries more than others – in which people communicate. In many countries in Northern Europe and Asia, its penetration rates are very high and in others less so but in all cases it has engendered change at multiple levels – socially as noted and in ter...

15. Supplementary Notes Project performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. 16. Abstract Curing has substantial effects on the long-term performance of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement. TxDOT requires two applications of curing compounds, with a maximum 180 sf/gal per each application. However, no compliance testing is cond...

This paper security measures are implemented in enterprise network architecture and evaluated against current trend of network security as well as used various methods of penetration to confirm the vulnerabilities of the network within the confines of network security management. This was achieved by using a security distribution of Linux. The main focus of this paper is on Enumeration and Scan...

Microwave brightness temperature measurements were made over three different bare soils at frequencies of 5 GHz (X = 6 cm) and 1.67 GHz (X = 18 cm) to compare differences in penetration depth according to texture, soil moisture, and wavelength. The soil plots were wetted, and circularly polarized microwave measurements were made during the dry-down cycle. Soil profile temperature and profile mo...
