Infrastructure systems such as power and water supplies make up the cornerstone of modern society which is essential for the functioning of a society and its economy. They become more and more interconnected and interdependent with the development of scientific technology and social economy. Risk and vulnerability analysis of interdependent infrastructures for security considerations has become...

Sociocultural and economic conditions interact with biological processes throughout the course of life determining vulnerability or resilience in old age. The scope of this study was to investigate relationships between social vulnerability (gender, age and income); individual vulnerability (comorbidities, signs and symptoms, functional ability, perceived social support and perceived health), a...

Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames are a very widespread structural typology all over the world for civil, strategic or productive uses. The damages due to these masonry panels can be life threatening humans and severely impact economic losses, as shown during past earthquakes. In fact, seismic event, most victims caused by collapse of buildings nonstructural elements. damage an earthq...

Reverse engineering is the process of understanding inner working a software system without having source code. It critical for firmware security validation, vulnerability research, and malware analysis. However, it often requires significant amount manual effort. Recently, data-driven solutions were proposed to reduce effort by identifying code clones on assembly or level. analysts still have ...

we have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the
-al2o3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (dft) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (fp-lapw) with generalized gradient approximation (gga) and by quasi-harmonic debye model. our calculated value for direct band gap of α-al2o3 is 7.2 ev which is v...
