This observational study mainly examines the impact of rainfall on Indian soil moisture (SM) variability in four homogeneous zones (i.e., central India (CI), northwest (NWI), south peninsula (SPIN), and northeast (NEI)) as defined by Meteorological Department (IMD) during strong, weak, normal summer monsoons (ISMs), which are determined regionally for each zone separately. uses daily gridded (0...

The security of information system is like a chain. Its strength is affected by the weakest knot. Since we can achieve 100% Information Security Management System (ISMS) security, we must cautiously fulfill the certification and accreditation of information security. In this paper, we analyzed, studied the evaluation knowledge and skills required for auditing the certification procedures for th...

Current trends indicate that information security is critical for today’s enterprises. As managers realise they cannot ignore the potential security risks, they tend to turn to the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, in order to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS). While being adopted by large companies, ISMS are still considered as out of range by numerous smaller entities. To help ...

In 1969, Butler (1969) first coined the term "ageism" to confront "prejudice by one age group toward other age groups" (pp. 243). As with other "isms," such as racism and sexism, ageism leads to bigotry and discrimination, though it is a very distinct beast in that, for the most part, other "isms" refer to those different from ourselves: distinct, mutually exclusive, and impervious groups. Conv...

Measuring the continuous improvement of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) is often neglected as most organizations do not know how to extract keyindicators that could be used for this purpose. The underlying work presents a six-level maturity model which can be fully integrated in a risk management tool and helps to define key indicators for measuring the improvement of an ISMS. Fu...

Securing sensitive organizational data has become increasingly vital to organizations. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an organization's information security. Key elements of the operation ISMS are processes. However, in spite its importance, process framework wi...

As a preliminary step to using intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) for rehabilitation purposes, the distribution of various types of hindlimb responses evoked by ISMS in spinal cats (T(13)) is described. The responses to ISMS applied through a single electrode was assessed, before and after an intravenous injection of clonidine (noradrenergic agonist), using kinematics and electromyographic rec...
