due to simple operation and no needs for expensive infrastructure construction to convey water from a source to farm lands, groundwater becomes the most important sources of agricultural water supply in iran. however, the contamination of aquifers is a major concern in many countries, specifically in areas without effective groundwater protection and management. therefore, groundwater vulnerabi...

Groundwater vulnerability assessment is of crucial importance for land use/cover management. Some methods have been proposed specifically for the karst hydrogeological settings. Among them, COP and PaPRIKa, as two commonly applied recent methods, were adopted for the resource vulnerability assessment of a humid temperate karst region, north of Iran. Comparison of water bacterial content and dis...

increasing growth of population leads to increase in human activities such as agriculture and industry, which these activities increasing and irregular usage of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides result in soil and groundwater pollution. meanwhile, vulnerability assessment can play important role in the management of polluting activities. in this research a new method has been proposed fo...

Vulnerability risk assessment is a crucial process in security management, and the CVSS score is the standard-de-facto risk metric for software vulnerabilities. In this manuscript I show that current risk assessment methodologies do not fit real “in the wild” attack data. I also present my three-steps plan to identify an Internet-scale risk assessment methodology that accounts for attacker econ...

As more businesses and users adopt cloud computing services, security vulnerabilities will be increasingly found and exploited. There are many technological and political challenges where investigation of potentially criminal incidents in the cloud are concerned. Security experts, however, must still be able to acquire and analyze data in a methodical, rigorous and forensically sound manner. Th...

risk assessment provides the possibility of planning and management to prevent and reduce the risk of desertification. the present study is aimed to assess the hazard and risk of desertification and to develop management programs in the semi-arid western regions of golestan province in iran. desertification rate was obtained using the iranian model of desertification potential assessment. since...

introduction vulnerability is a logical effect outcome from risk of living over the hazardous regions as well as the resiliency capacity of people for recovers the damages of hazard events. vulnerability is a complex phenomenon which can effect and observe in from of environmental, political and c-social-economical vulnerability. according to land subsidence hazard affected over the residential...

bandar abbas (center of hormozgan province) is the most important port city in the south of iran because of its historical places, cultural, economic, social and political importance. high risk of earthquake occurrence in this city and its province indicates the necessity of surveying the seismic vulnerability of buildings. the object of this paper is collected from existing buildings, compiled...

Although complexity and vulnerability assessment of mountain landscapes is increasingly taken into consideration, less attention is paid to ecophronesis-based solutions so as to reduce the fragile ecosystem vulnerability. The main propose of this study is to provide an insight of mountain complex landscape vulnerability and propose ecophronesis-based solutions in strategic planning framework fo...
