Threats deriving from external hazard factors as natural events and intentional acts of interference are perceived as important issues affecting the safety of chemical and process plants where relevant quantities of hazardous substances are present. The increasing frequency of some natural events having a particularly high severity also raised a growing concern for industrial asset integrity an...

Classical spectrum planning exercise is based on some expected spatial traffic distributions and corresponding load levels. Nevertheless, practical network deployments show that the dynamism in mobile scenarios and unpredictable changes in traffic distribution make traffic estimation severely frail. Hence, new approaches should be developed to detect the relevant changes in traffic distribution...

Recently, methods of data collection and practical use of the collected data in sensor networks have been proposed. In this paper, we propose the method of collecting sensor data from two geographically different spots (Tokyo Denki University in Chiba and Hachinohe National College of Technology in Hachinohe Aomori), of monitoring and controlling the collected data. The result of the basic expe...

This paper deals with the methodology useable in the risk assessment of civil airport protection against acts of unlawful interference. Attention is focused on analyzing the current state of the airport perimeter and an analysis of risk assessment procedures in the safety management of civil airports.

Biological risk management in public health focuses on the impact of outbreaks on health, the economy, and other systems and on ensuring biosafety and biosecurity. To address this broad range of risks, the International Health Regulations (IHR, 2005) request that all member states build defined core capacities, risk communication being one of them. While there is existing guidance on the commun...
