as information has the role of organization asset, its protection is the key to the survival of any organization. information security management system (isms) defines protection of information in three specific concepts: information confidentiality, accuracy, and availability. many failures in implementing isms rooted in organizational problems and lack of attention to the state of readiness o...

We consider interface fluctuations on a two-dimensional layered lattice where the couplings follow a hierarchical sequence. This problem is equivalent to the diffusion process of a quantum particle in the presence of a one-dimensional hierarchical potential. According to a modified Harris criterion this type of perturbation is relevant and one expects anomalous fluctuating behavior. By transfer...

In this paper we propose a general method for creating a new type of hierarchical structures at any level in both 2D and 3D. A simple rule based on a rotate-and-mirror procedure is introduced to achieve multi-level hierarchies. These new hierarchical structures have remarkably few degrees of freedom compared to existing designs by other methods. More importantly, these structures exhibit synchr...

. Abstrac t : This paper presents the analysis of a new bus structure, called the hierarchical bus structure. The exact analytical model of a 2-level hierarchical bus is developed in this paper. The results from both the analytical model and simulation are shown in the paper. These results show that a hierarchical bus would be a cost effective bus structure as compared to the conventional multi...

For a spatial characteristic, there exist commonly fat-tail frequency distributions of fragment-size and -mass of glass, areas enclosed by city roads, and pore size/volume in random packings. In order to give a new analytical approach for the distributions, we consider a simple model which constructs a fractal-like hierarchical network based on random divisions of rectangles. The stochastic pro...

Groundwater is a precious source of fresh water and major component the entire supply. Both quality quantity could be satisfied by evaluating groundwater potential sites (GWPS). This paper analyzes ground-water potentials in semi-arid region Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It describes standard methodology to identify map GWPS using integrated Geographical Information System (GIS) remote sensing ...

Droughts can be regarded as one of the most spatially complex geohazards, causing a severe impact on socio-economic aspects. Preparing comprehensive drought management plan is necessary to mitigate risks, and first step towards achieving it preparation vulnerability map. The present study integrates geospatial methods with Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP) technique, prepare map fo...
