with respect to population growth and agricultural development in ardabil plain, vulnerability assessment of the plain aquifer is necessary for management of groundwater resources and the prevention of groundwater contamination. in this study, vulnerability of ardabil plain aquifer to pollution was evaluated by drastic method. drastic model was prepared by seven effective parameters on vulnerab...

In the past 25 years, rising of the Caspian Sea level, part of a natural treat to the sea, has inundated and destroyed many buildings and arable lands and threatened many inhabitations in coastal areas. The main reason for these damages is that the law-setback has lost its efficiency and human activities have proceeded seaward. The goal of this study is to introduce a proper setback line for th...

Vulnerability assessment is a significant component of effective disaster management. Following the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, countries need to identify appropriate vulnerability indicators and to assess the impact of disasters. Vulnerability assessment is a prerequisite for disaster risk reduction and capacity building of communities. It can play an important role especially for de...

Adaptivity requires at least frequent, and ideally real-time, updates and also requires the ability to analyze, respond and reconfigure. Such network management flexibility requires several types of information and capabilities, which include response of the network to node failure, reachability of nodes, and boundary control. The first issue determines how the network will respond to a "proble...

Vulnerability assessment (VA) is a well established method for determining security weaknesses within a system. The VA process is heavily reliant on expert knowledge, something that is attributed to being in short supply. This paper explores the possibility of automating VA and demonstrates an initial proof-of-concept involving decision-making skills comparable with a human-expert. This is achi...

Honeypots are electronic bait, i.e. network resources (computers, routers, switches, etc.) deployed to be probed, attacked and compromised. Honeypots run special software which permanently collects data about the system and greatly aids in post-incident computer and network forensics. Several honeypots can be assembled into networks of honeypots called honeynets. Because of the wealth of data c...

Assessment of ecoenvironmental vulnerability plays an important role in the guidance of regional planning, the construction and protection of ecological environment, which requires comprehensive consideration on regional resources, environment, ecology, society and other factors. Based on the driving mechanism and evolution characteristics of ecoenvironmental vulnerability in cold and arid regi...
