In the aftermath of the global financial crisis (2007-2009), policymakers in the developing countries and emerging economies have generally relied on macroprudential policies to achieve financial stability. Since the banking systemchr('39')s vulnerability plays an essential role in financial instability, and the banking systemchr('39')s stability is exposed to vulnerability, we examine macropru...

Background: Population characteristics can be used to infer vulnerability of communities COVID-19, or the likelihood high levels vaccine hesitancy.  Communities harder hit by virus, at risk being so, stand benefit from greater resource allocation than their population size alone would suggest. This study reports a simple but efficacious method ranking small areas England relative that are linke...

This paper presents a novel and efficient mapping algorithm, called Citrine. It generates a set of mappings which have nearly minimum possible distance between related cores results in reduction of communication cost in Network-on-Chip (NoC), while improving other performance metrics. Comparison of the communication cost results makes it obvious that final solutions found by our proposed approa...

BACKGROUND Despite efforts in eradication and control, malaria remains a global challenge, particularly affecting vulnerable groups. Despite the recession in malaria cases, previously malaria free areas are increasingly confronted with epidemics as a result of changing environmental and socioeconomic conditions. Next to modeling transmission intensities and probabilities, integrated spatial met...

Groundwater is the main source of water supply in Jordan. Due to lower precipitation rates in recent years, the surface water is increasingly limited. Research on groundwater vulnerability helps protect this main source of water supply and assists in the development of plans to confront the deterioration and contamination of aquifers from wastewater and agricultural activities in order to prote...

drastic model has been used to map groundwater vulnerability to pollution in many areas. since this method is used in different places without any changes, it cannot consider the effects of pollution type and characteristics. therefore, the method needs to be calibrated and corrected for a specific aquifer and pollution. in the present research, the rates of drastic parameters have been correct...

The main objective of vulnerability analysis is to select the alternative which is the least vulnerable. To make this selection, we must describe the vulnerability of each alternative by a single number – then we will select the alternative with the smallest value of this vulnerability index. Usually, there are many aspects of vulnerability: vulnerability of a certain asset to a storm, to a ter...

Urban inequality, specifically in vulnerable areas, has been a study topic from the earliest days of sociology to present. This study’s objective is discuss scope and limitation concept urban vulnerability, whilst generating an index that detects vulnerability all its dimensions. A factor analysis main components was conducted resulting formation four partial indices related social class, gentr...
