Abstract Database systems have consistently been prime targets for cyber-attacks and threats due to the critical nature of the data they store. Despite the increasing reliance on database management systems, this field continues to face numerous cyber-attacks. Database management systems serve as the foundation of any information system or application. Any cyber-attack can result in significant damage to the database system and loss of sensitive data. Consequently, cyber risk classifications and assessments play a crucial role in risk management and establish an essential framework for identifying and responding to cyber threats. Risk assessment aids in understanding… More >

Abstract Considering experimental testing data is costly, and sensor data is often sparse, while simulation analysis provides overall strength information with lower accuracy, a digital twin framework is proposed for full-field structural strength assessment and prediction. The framework is mainly divided into two stages. In the offline stage, the simulation model of the structure is established, and the sensor layouts are completed. Then, the DNN pre-training model is constructed based on the reduced simulation data. In the online stage, the experimentally measured data are predicted to obtain the time-series sensors data, and the traditional transfer learning… More >

Abstract The construction sector is one of the main sources of pollution, due to high energy consumption and the toxic substances generated during the processing and use of traditional materials. The production of cement, steel, and other conventional materials impacts both ecosystems and human health, increasing the demand for ecological and biodegradable alternatives. In this paper, we analyze the properties of panels made from a combination of plant fibers and castor oil resin, analyzing the viability of their use as construction material. For the research, orthogonal fabrics made with waste plant fibers supplied by a company… More >

Abstract Currently, the operational performance assessment system in the power market primarily focuses on power generation and electricity retail companies, lacking a system tailored to the operational characteristics of power generation/selling integrated companies. Therefore, this article proposes an assessment index system for assessing the operational performance of a power generation/selling integrated company, encompassing three dimensions: basic capacity, development potential, and external environment. A dynamic proportional adjustment coefficient is designed, along with a subjective and objective weighting model for assessment indexes based on a combined weighting method. Subsequently, the operational performance of an integrated company is assessed More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study examines how socio-economic characteristics predict flood risk in London, England, using machine learning algorithms. The socio-economic variables considered included race, employment, crime and poverty measures. A stacked generalization (SG) model combines random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and XGBoost. Binary classification issues employ RF as the basis model and SVM as the meta-model. In multiclass classification problems, RF and SVM are base models while XGBoost is meta-model. The study utilizes flood risk labels for London areas and census data to train these models. This study found that SVM performs well in binary… More >

Abstract Adaptive management in arid and semi-arid regions of Patagonia, Argentina, requires a thorough understanding of vegetative dynamics, which can be obtained via rangeland assessment and monitoring. These practices are essential for decision-making to prevent environmental degradation, especially in the light of drought aggravated by climate change. In turn, most methods used to evaluate rangelands focus on data obtained from field measurements and vegetation classifications based on remote sensing data. One of the most frequent problems is that field-based rangeland assessments, based on field measurements, turn out to be expensive because they require high efforts in… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to obtain the explicit expression of the structural matrix in the traditional train-bridge coupling vibration analysis, a combined simulation system of train-bridge coupling system (TBCS) under earthquake (MAETB) is developed based on the cooperative work of MATLAB and ANSYS. The simulation system is used to analyze the dynamic parameters of the TBCS of a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge benchmark model of a heavy-haul railway. The influence of different driving speeds, seismic wave intensities, and traveling wave effects on the dynamic response of the TBCS under More >

Abstract Risk assessment is vital for humanities, especially in assessing natural and manmade hazards. Romblon, an archipelagic province in the Philippines, faces frequent typhoons and heavy rainfall, resulting in floods, with the Municipality of Santa Fe being particularly vulnerable to its severe damage. Thus, this research study intends to evaluate the flood risk of Santa Fe spatially using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), taking into account data sourced from various government agencies and online databases. GIS was utilized to map flood-prone areas in the municipality. Hazard assessment factors included average annual rainfall, elevation, slope, soil… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Data centers (DCs) are highly energy-intensive facilities, where about 30%–50% of the power consumed is attributable to the cooling of information technology equipment. This makes liquid cooling, especially in two-phase mode, as an alternative to air cooling for the microprocessors in servers of interest. The need to meet the increased power density of server racks in high-performance DCs, along with the push towards lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants due to environmental concerns, has motivated research on the selection of two-phase heat transfer fluids for cooling servers while simultaneously recovering waste heat. With this regard,… More >
