Batu East Java, Indonesia, as a tourist city, is categorized disaster-prone area; hence city resilience should be improved. Increasing has function in protecting the from rising number of disaster risks. This study aims to analyze regional capacity based on Regional Disaster Management Agency (Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah – BPBD) assessment criteria using resilient stage Making Cities Re...

Granular materials are often used in pavement structures. The influence of anisotropy on the mechanical behaviour of granular materials is very important. The coupled effects of water content and fine content usually lead to more complex anisotropic behaviour. With a repeated load triaxial test (RLTT), it is possible to measure the anisotropic deformation behaviour of granular materials. This a...

The explosive growth of data generated by information digitization has been identified as the key driver to escalate storage requirements. It is becoming a big challenge to design a resilient and scalable interconnection network which consolidates hundreds even thousands of storage nodes to satisfy both the bandwidth and storage capacity requirements. This paper proposes a Resilient Interconnec...

This paper shows that in suitable markets, even with out-of-equilibrium trade allowed, a simple price update rule leads to rapid convergence toward the equilibrium. In particular, this paper considers a Fisher market repeated over an unbounded number of time steps, with the addition of finite sized warehouses to enable non-equilibrium trade. The main result is that suitable tatonnement style pr...

Risk and resilience as a conceptual model has captured the imagination of researchers and program planners over the past decade. The concept assumes that stress is a universal experience; success in life is less determined by the stress experienced and more related to the resources available to address the stress. Likewise, it assumes that negative life events are not rare experiences; neither ...

In this paper, we propose a discrete cosine transform (DCT) based spread spectrum data-hiding algorithm that is resilient to statistical attacks. Unlike other spread spectrum based data-hiding algorithms, the proposed algorithm does not introduce a low-pass filtering effect in the histogram of the stego image. The distance between the center of gravity (CoG) as defined by [14] of the unmarked h...

Electricity systems are undergoing unprecedented change, with growing capacity for low-carbon generation, and an increasingly distributed approach to network control. Furthermore, the severity of climate related threats is projected to increase. To improve our understanding of the risks from these changes, this paper presents a novel modeling approach to assess the resilience of future electric...

In many agricultural countries, development of rural livelihood through increasing capital is a major regional policy to adapt to climate change. However, the role of livelihood capital in reducing climatic vulnerability is uncertain. This study assesses vulnerability and identifies the effects of common capital indicators on it, using Australian wheat as an example. We calculate exposure (a cl...

As climate change begins to disrupt the settled expectations of humans, demands on the legal system will be intense and long term. Is the law up to the task? If it is, it will be at least in part because the legal system proves to be resilient and adaptive. This Article therefore explores how to think about designing legal instruments and institutions now with confidence they will be resilient ...
