Abstract. Pre-disaster planning and mitigation necessitate detailed spatial information about flood hazards their associated risks. In the US, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) provides important areas subject to flooding during 1 % riverine or coastal event. The binary nature of hazard maps obscures distribution property risk inside SFHA residual outsi...

This paper presents a fast and efficient hardware memory allocation technique, called FEMA, to detect the existence of any free block of requested size in memory. The technique can allocate a free memory block of any number of chunks in any part of memory. The hardware algorithm which was proved more efficient by using the benchmark in [6], the gate-level design of the hardware unit and its are...

A PCR-based assay that can simultaneously detect and differentiate five different types of nosocomial bacterial pathogens was developed. Six pairs of selected primers targeting femA (132 bp) and mecA (310 bp) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, gltA (722 bp) of Acinetobacter baumannii, phoA (903 bp) of Escherichia coli, mdh (364 bp) of Klebsiella pneumoniae and oprL (504 bp) of Pseu...

Clinically useful antibiotics, β-lactams and vancomycin, are known to inhibit bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has a unique cell wall structure consisting of peptidoglycan and wall teichoic acid. In recent years, new anti-infectious agents (spirohexaline, tripropeptin C, DMPI, CDFI, cyslabdan, 1835F03, and BPH-652) targeting MRSA ce...

In principle, FEMA supports the implementation of ITS technology that has the potential to provide added safety, comfort and economy to road users provided that: their use is not mandatory, and does not exclude unequipped vehicles from the road; they take into account the needs, characteristics and limitations of powered two wheeler users and their vehicles; they do not create an additional haz...
