Introduction Despite its status and development within the United Nations international system, climate change policy-making has failed to adopt a gender-sensitive strategy. This failure not only generates concern in terms of respect for gender equity at the international le...

Climate change has been described as the biggest global health threat of the 21(st) century. World population is projected to reach 9.1 billion by 2050, with most of this growth in developing countries. While the principal cause of climate change is high consumption in the developed countries, its impact will be greatest on people in the developing world. Climate change and population can be li...

IPv6 is a network layer protocol of the OSI reference model. IPv6 uses the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) that works on link local scope of IPv6 network. NDP covers host initialization and address auto configuration that is one of IPv6 advantages and other important functionalities. IPv6 mandates to support Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) for end‐to‐end communication security. However, th...

In recent times, climate change and its attendant impacts have become an interesting subject for many a debate, yet little seems to be understood about it on the local scale more so among rural populace. The study aimed at evaluating perception vulnerability of Ibeju-Lekki Eti Osa Local government areas change; introduce effective awareness, mitigation, adaptation techniques. was carried out th...

this research chiefly focused on the application of mitigation strategies and traditional form of feedback in writing development of the fifth semester university students majoring in tefl and english translation fields based on vygotsky’s sociocultural theory in general and the notion of “zone of proximal development” in particular. to that end, this study relied on a pre-posttest experimental...

background:  ramsar, a northern city in iran, lies on the coast of the caspian sea. this city has areas with some of the highest levels of natural radiation measured to date. the radon concentration in some areas of ramsar is up to 3700 bq m–3. on the other hand, due to high level of humidity, damp-proof barriers should be used in construction of new buildings in radon prone areas of this city....

The conditions of high hydraulic risk are mainly due to the interference between river network and bridges, their relative access ramps road embankments located in floodplain. Actually, bridges not always structurally adequate withstand severe flood waves. In restoration works, there is an objective difficulty implementing structural safety because historical, artistic economic issues. Thus, mi...

Wildlife warning signs are the most commonly used and widespread form of road impact mitigation, aimed at reducing the incidence of wildlife-vehicle collisions. Evidence of the effectiveness of currently used signs is rare and often indicates minimal change in driver behaviour. Improving the design of these signs to increase the likelihood of appropriate driver response has the potential to red...

Civil infrastructure provides the range of essential services generally necessary to support a nation’s economy and quality of life—arguably entire economies rely on the ability to move goods, people, and information safely and reliably. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to government, business, and the public atlarge that the flow of services provided by a nation’s infrastructure co...

Extensive use of digital systems and networks is causing the problem of the cyber security to safety related industries like research reactors. The aim of cyber security study, in this article, is to develop a cyber-security risk analysis model based on activityquality & Instrumentation & Control (I&C) architecture for the safety of nuclear industry. Activity-quality is a qualitative number sho...
