Abstract:

Climate change and anticipated impacts of sea level rise such as increased coastal erosion, inundation, flooding due to storm surges and salt water intrusion to freshwater resources will affect all the countries but mostly small island countries of oceans and low-lying lands along coastlines. Turkey having 8333 km of coastline including physically, ecologically and socio-economically important low-lying deltas should also prepare for the impacts of sea level rise as well as other impacts of climate change while participating in adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to assess the vulnerability of coastal road infrastructures due to climate change induced sea level rise and extreme weather conditions through the estimation of road subgrade strength reduction as a result of changes in soil moisture content. The study area located in the Gold Coast, Australia highlighted that the risk is significant. In wet seasons or areas with wet condition, the groundwater table is already high, so even a small change in the groundwater table can raise the risk of inundation; particularly, in areas with existing shallow groundwater.

Abstract:

The seagrass resource provides essential ecosystem functions for many marine species. This research evaluated the vulnerability and sustainability of the seagrass resource in an urbanized area to the effects of sea level rise. The assessment required analysis of information regarding the biogeography of the seagrass resource, and developing a method to model the spatial extent of the suitable habitat for seagrass, and applying the model to predict the implications of simulated sea level rise scenarios on the seagrass resource. Examining the biogeography of the seagrass resource required the

Abstract:

<p> It has been shown on both local and national scales in the US that there is a small number of people whose healthcare costs make up a significantly disproportionate amount of total healthcare costs. Much of the costs that these "high-utilizers of care" incur come from emergency department visits and inpatient hospital admissions for health problems that would be treated more economically by primary and specialist care. Numerous "hot-spotting" intervention programs have been created over the last decade in attempts to both lower costs and improve the quality of care and health outcomes of "

Abstract:

Maintaining a continuous and robust supply of power could be challenging task, because power networks depend on proper communication to coordinate and schedule supply, as well as recognize and mitigate failures; communication networks depend on power to function. This interdependency is a cause for greater failure risks due to the rapid cascading of failures from one network to the other. The objective of this work is to investigate the vulnerability of interdependent networks under various scenarios and coupling assumptions. To do so, we employ heuristic techniques to detect critical nodes in

Abstract:

The response of borehole water levels to barometric pressure is a function of the confining layer and aquifer properties. This study aims to use this response as an aid towards quantitative assessment of groundwater vulnerability, applying the techniques to the confined/semi-confined part of the Chalk Aquifer in East Yorkshire, UK. Time series analysis techniques are applied to data collected from twelve monitoring boreholes to characterize and remove components contributing to the borehole water level signal other than barometric pressure, such as recharge and Earth tides.

Abstract:

La question de la remontée des niveaux marins et du recul du trait de côte est aujourd'hui une préoccupation de premier ordre face à laquelle les sociétés sont en attente de connaissances et de propositions. Or, les littoraux les plus menacés, les côtes basses, sont d'une part le siège de pratiques séculaires, de "défense contre la mer" et ont, d’autre part, été investis dans une période récente par des activités touristiques tournées vers l'exploitation des plages. Cette vulnérabilité physique et sociale explique notre choix pour les littoraux correspondants aux trois communes de Vias, Agde e

Abstract:

An assessment was made of American Samoa mangroves’ vulnerability and predicted changes in position from sea-level rise. The study also evaluated capacity in the Pacific Islands region to assess mangrove vulnerability to climate change and institute adaptation measures. Of the outcomes from climate change, relative sea-level rise may be the greatest threat to mangroves. By 2100, mangrove losses from relative sea-level rise could be as high as 47 percent in American Samoa and 22 percent when extrapolating regionally, causing about a quarter of total predicted annual regional losses.

Abstract:

Conservation biology would benefit from methods that identify species at risk in a proactive manner, rather than through post-hoc conservation assessments. This study examines the utility of four potential indices for predicting vulnerability in fishes: total body length; trophic level; intrinsic vulnerability score; and, resilience. Statistical analysis was done to determine if correlations existed between any of these four indices and known levels of risk in marine and freshwater Canadian fishes. Results show the success of two of these indices to predict risk: fished species over 78.33 ce

Abstract:

Understanding the communications between programs can help software security engineers understand the behaviour of a system and detect vulnerabilities in a system. Assembly-level execution traces are used for this purpose for two reasons: 1) lack of source code of the running programs, and 2) assembly-level execution traces provide the most accurate run-time behaviour information. In this thesis, I present a communication analysis approach using such execution traces. I first model the message based communication in the context of trace analysis. Then I develop a method and the necessary algor

Despite such attacks, the aim for network administrators is to enable these systems to continue delivering the services they are intended for. Currently, many research efforts are directed towards securing network further whereas, little attention has been given to the quantification of network security which involves assessing the vulnerability of these systems to attacks. In this paper, a method is devised

In the case of disaster assessment and analysis, the concept of vulnerability will be included. However, there is no research to develop a method for assessing the vulnerability of slope disasters at the village level. Therefore, it is hoped that this study will develop a set of scales.

Abstract:

Virtual prototyping is today an essential technology for modeling, verification, and re-design of full HW/SW platforms. This allows a fast prototyping of platforms with a higher and higher complexity, which precludes traditional verification approaches based on the static analysis of the source code. Consequently, several technologies based on the analysis of simulation traces have proposed to efficiently validate the entire system from both the functional and extra-functional point of view. From the functional point of view, different approaches based on invariant and assertion mining have
