I have wondered why Covid-19 was not as devastating as predicted in African content. Since Vitamin could be made from sun exposure and most Africans are outside for their daily living activities, I have wondered if they have optimal Vitamin D3 that might have conferred them with some protection.
How to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
Now in Iran, according to my suggestion, Unilit roof is used in the roofs of residential and office buildings, which is very light. I took this suggestion in an article for the seismological organization in Tehran and gave 14 suggestions to prevent the Tehran earthquake, including 2 They implemented it. One of them removed the bricks from the roof of residential and office buildings and put unilite and poured concrete on top of it, which is very resistant because there is a round rod inside the bits and it was mixed with concrete, and I also said that in metal buildings from 7 or 8 should be used next to the walls because it makes the Masguni houses stronger and also 2 parking spaces should be used under the buildings, like palm trees or dates, which have deep roots and will not fall during an earthquake. Buildings must have deep roots and also in the science of retrofitting structures, divergence is used, that is, natural or artificial rubber is used under the pillars of the houses, and steel springs are used in the middle, so that during an earthquake, the building, like a car or A car that has a spring and the springs play, the building goes up and down but does not fall, and this is a building engineering science that makes buildings resistant to earthquakes and natural disasters. And secondly, through the injection of water and salt solution, the energy of the faults can be removed. Because it comes from the earth's core, which has 6000 degrees Celsius of heat. At any moment, this heat transfers to the surface of the earth. Therefore, the energy inside the earth must be removed, and by transferring the water and salt solution that all the oil extraction companies have, which is known as the injection of water and salt solution, like a tiny needle that is inserted into a balloon so that the balloon does not burst, we humans can create an artificial earthquake. Let's prevent the earthquake explosion and create an artificial earthquake ourselves and release the pressure inside the earth. And 3, we should not build residential or office buildings where there is a fault line, because the buildings are heavy and the taller and bigger they are, the more pressure is placed on the faults. So either we have to build a single floor or not at all to prevent an earthquake from happening.

The Ultimate Anti-Seismic Design Method
The design mechanisms and methods of the invention are intended to minimize problems related to the safety of structures in the event of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and strong winds. It is achieved by controlling the deformations of the structure. Damage and deformation are closely related concepts since the control of deformations also controls the damage. The design method of applying artificial compression to the ends of all longitudinal reinforced concrete walls and, at the same time, connecting the ends of the walls to the ground using ground anchors placed at the depths of the boreholes, transfers the inertial stresses of the structure in the ground, which reacts as an external force in the structure’s response to seismic displacements. The wall with the artificial compression acquires dynamic, larger active cross-section and high axial and torsional stiffness, preventing all failures caused by inelastic deformation. By connecting the ends of all walls to the ground, we control the eigenfrequency of the structure and the ground during each seismic loading cycle, preventing inelastic displacements. At the same time, we ensure the strong bearing capacity of the foundation soil and the structure. By designing the walls correctly and placing them in proper locations, we prevent the torsional flexural buckling that occurs in asymmetrical floor plans, and metal and tall structures. Compression of the wall sections at the ends and their anchoring to the ground mitigates the transfer of deformations to the connection nodes, strengthens the wall section in terms of base shear force and shear stress of the sections, and increases the strength of the cross-sections to the tensile at the ends of the walls by introducing counteractive forces. The use of tendons within the ducts prevents longitudinal shear in the overlay concrete, while anchoring the walls to the foundation not only dissipates inertial forces to the ground but also prevents rotation of the walls, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the beams. The prestressing at the bilateral ends of the walls restores the structure to its original position even inelastic displacements by closing the opening of the developing cracks.

There are two ways to achieve it. To start, we can make buildings more ductile, that is, they can withstand stronger deformations without failing; On the other hand, we can design more rigid structures, which implies that the buildings resist greater accelerations.
These systems consist of elements for energy dissipation or assimilation. The first type of system seeks to increase the capacity to "lose" energy, such as the "Saint Andrew's Cross" trusses, and others work as seismic dampers or isolators.

To make buildings resistant to earthquakes, it is essential to incorporate various engineering principles and design practices. Here are the key steps and considerations in detail:
1. Site Selection and Soil Analysis
- Site Selection: Choose a site with stable ground, avoiding areas prone to liquefaction, landslides, or fault lines.
- Geotechnical Analysis: Conduct thorough soil investigations to understand the soil properties and behavior under seismic loads. This includes soil borings, lab tests, and evaluating soil-structure interaction.
2. Building Design
- Seismic Codes and Standards: Adhere to local and international building codes (e.g., IBC, Eurocode, IS Codes) that specify seismic design requirements.
- Structural Configuration: Opt for simple, regular, and symmetric building shapes to ensure even distribution of seismic forces.
- Redundancy and Robustness: Design for multiple load paths so that if one path fails, others can carry the load.
- Foundation Design: Use deep foundations like piles or caissons in soft soils to reach stable strata. Consider mat foundations for better distribution of seismic forces.
3. Structural Elements
- Base Isolation: Install base isolators to decouple the building from ground motion, reducing seismic forces transmitted to the structure.
- Energy Dissipation Devices: Use dampers (viscous, friction, or tuned mass dampers) to absorb and dissipate seismic energy.
- Flexible Joints: Incorporate expansion joints to allow sections of the building to move independently, reducing stress concentrations.
- Shear Walls and Bracing: Use reinforced concrete shear walls or steel bracing systems to resist lateral forces.
- Moment-Resisting Frames: Design frames that can withstand bending moments and shear forces during an earthquake.
4. Materials and Construction Quality
- High-Quality Materials: Use materials with appropriate strength, ductility, and durability. Reinforced concrete, structural steel, and composite materials are commonly used.
- Reinforcement Detailing: Ensure proper detailing of reinforcement bars in concrete to prevent brittle failure and enhance ductility.
- Construction Practices: Follow best practices and quality control during construction to avoid defects and ensure the building performs as designed.
5. Retrofitting Existing Buildings
- Seismic Assessment: Evaluate the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings using detailed analysis and field surveys.
- Strengthening Techniques: Employ techniques such as adding shear walls, bracing, jacketing columns, and using fiber-reinforced polymers to enhance the seismic resistance of existing structures.
6. Innovation and Technology
- Advanced Simulation Tools: Use computer modeling and simulation tools to predict building behavior under seismic loads and optimize designs.
- Smart Materials: Incorporate materials with adaptive properties, such as shape memory alloys, which can absorb and dissipate energy efficiently.
7. Community and Lifeline Considerations
- Building Codes Enforcement: Ensure strict enforcement of building codes and regulations.
- Public Awareness: Educate the public and stakeholders about the importance of seismic-resistant design and construction.
- Lifeline Infrastructure: Design critical infrastructure (e.g., hospitals, emergency response centers) to higher seismic standards to ensure functionality after an earthquake.
By integrating these principles and practices, engineers can significantly enhance the earthquake resistance of buildings, thereby reducing the risk of damage and loss of life during seismic events.

Dear Experts,
I, Namrata Tharwani Gaurkhede, am pursuing my Ph.D. studies at VNIT, Nagpur under the guidance of Dr. V.S. Adane on SuDS as a tool for urban flood alleviation in case study area/s.
The objective of this part of the study to identify the most vulnerable ward in terms of flooding issue. 11 parameters, based on literature have been identified.
This expert survey has two objectives:
(1) Identification of the most important parameters for flood vulnerability
(2) The weightage/scale of priority for these parameters.
The AHP allows a pair-wise comparison of all the parameters, to understand the important of one parameter over the other, including the scale of importance. Your valuable response will help us in the selection of parameters and their relative weightage for the vulnerability assessment.
If someone is willing to take up the expert survey, kindly DM me here or please send an email on tharwani.namrata@gmail.com.
Thanks and Regards

Are there specific regions or states in India that are more vulnerable to heat waves? Why?
We live on land and we cultivate, install our cities and industry on this land and we pump water. However, the lack knowledge concerning soil, subsurface lithology and water resource from upstream to downstream are the main cause of major unforeseen risks.
I have a cell line that is vulnerable to liquid N2 and vapor phase nitrogen storage. I am looking for any homemade protocols that allow long term storage of cells under -80oC to -100oC preferably in a ultra low temperature freezer.
It's important to remember that while there may be conflicts and divisions among people based on various factors such as race, nationality, religion, or ideology, it is essential to recognize and respect the shared humanity that unites us all. Embracing our common humanity can help bridge divides and promote understanding and empathy.
The shared humanity that unites all of us refers to the fundamental qualities and characteristics that we all possess as human beings. These include:
- Emotions: We all experience a range of emotions, including joy, sadness, anger, fear, and love.
- Capacity for Reason: We all have the ability to reason, think critically, and solve problems.
- Social Connections: We all have a need for social connections and relationships with others.
- Physical Needs: We all have basic physical needs such as food, water, and shelter.
- Vulnerability: We are all vulnerable to illness, injury, and death.
- Diversity: We all come from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
Recognizing and embracing these shared qualities can help us to connect with others, promote empathy and understanding, and work towards a more peaceful and just world.

This question blends various emerging technologies to spark discussion. It asks if sophisticated image recognition AI, trained on leaked bioinformatics data (e.g., genetic profiles), could identify vulnerabilities in medical devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). These vulnerabilities could then be exploited through "quantum-resistant backdoors" – hidden flaws that remain secure even against potential future advances in quantum computing. This scenario raises concerns for cybersecurity, ethical hacking practices, and the responsible development of both AI and medical technology.
Greetings, I would like to know whether it is possible to enhance efficiency and decrease latency by clustering nodes according to their longitude and longitude coordinates on existing shards (e.g., using K-means clustering). This would allow for the formation of smaller groups comprising neighbors that are sufficiently close to eliminate network bottlenecks. Would this constitute an effective strategy or a security vulnerability due to the division of the preponderance of network participation? Kindly feel at liberty to impart your thoughts.

Yes, hacking a vehicle and causing an accident through internet technology is theoretically possible, although it's important to note that modern vehicles have multiple layers of security measures in place to prevent such events and ensure the safety of passengers.
Modern vehicles are equipped with various electronic control units (ECUs) that manage different systems, such as engine control, brakes, steering, and more. These ECUs are connected through a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, which allows them to communicate and share information. If a hacker gains unauthorized access to a vehicle's CAN bus through internet technology, they might potentially manipulate the vehicle's systems and cause a malfunction that could lead to an accident.
However, the reality is more complex:
- Security Measures: Vehicle manufacturers implement robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access and hacking. These include encryption, secure coding practices, intrusion detection systems, and more.
- Physical Controls: Many critical vehicle systems, such as brakes and steering, are designed with redundant physical controls that can override electronic commands. This makes it difficult for hackers to completely take control of a vehicle remotely.
- Ethical and Legal Constraints: Hacking a vehicle and causing harm is illegal and unethical. Anyone attempting such actions could face serious legal consequences.
- Rapid Response: In the event of unusual or malicious activity, vehicles often have mechanisms that trigger warnings and alerts to the driver, and manufacturers can remotely update or patch software to address vulnerabilities.
- Complexity: Hacking a vehicle's systems requires a deep understanding of its architecture and software. While researchers and hackers have demonstrated vulnerabilities in the past, it's not a simple task to carry out successfully.
- Public Awareness: As hacking risks have become more widely known, both vehicle manufacturers and the public are more vigilant about potential threats, which contributes to the implementation of stronger security measures.
It's crucial for vehicle manufacturers to continue improving security measures and staying ahead of potential threats. If you have concerns about vehicle security or hacking vulnerabilities, it's best to consult with experts in the field or contact the vehicle manufacturer for information on the security features and measures they have implemented.
What are the potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with interconnected robotic systems and automated processes? How can we safeguard against malicious attacks, data breaches, and unauthorized control that could compromise critical infrastructure or personal safety?
Ten to fifteen years ago cybersecurity was considered secondary to other IT and computer science related interests like cloud computing, machine learning, big data, and data analysis. Sure, there were a plethora of anti-malware vendors, news reports on cybersecurity breaches, and a handful of cybersecurity programs and bootcamps; still, the focus was more on the software engineering side, and monetization of apps, with basic and essential security in place only. COVID served as a mediating impact where cyber-attack numbers skyrocketed, novel attack vectors were implemented, and new attack surfaces were exploited.
Despite the known vulnerabilities for SQL injection attacks, cross-scripting attacks on web browsers/online spreadsheets, and the need for zero-trust systems many businesses and medium sized corporations have not implemented known patches and security upgrades. With the lockdowns in effect more employees and students worked or studied remotely creating new pathways to malicious attackers: Phishing, smishing, ransomware, attacks on multifactor authentication (MFS), and social media hacking and impersonation from private accounts to work accounts.
CISA, NIST, HIPPA, and regulatory frameworks are often not followed because they are either not known to exist, or decision makers do not properly understand the requirements. While business owners and executives are not to blame for the common lack of knowledge/training there is a need for the managed security service provider (MSSP) to step in to assess the what, why, how, of a given businesses' IT network and digital ecosystem, analyze potential compliance/governance issues, and reveal underlying privacy and security needs.
My name is Jacob Mack and I help assess such needs with the guidance of our business owner Burton Maben with Creative Cyber Management (LLC).
With the MOVEit zero-day exploit wreaking havoc all over the US in the public and private sector we are only witnessing the beginning of the vulnerabilities and exploits that are yet to come.
Feel free to reach out for a 15-30 minute discovery call; while the call is free the potential losses in terms of capital and reputation with a serious data breach are often one businesses cannot afford.
Furthermore, how effective are the current prevention mechanisms in mitigating these threats?

Before crusteacean invertibrates radiated from one organism residing in the era of the proteriozoic period, as the phylogenetic tree theory states. It is widely predicted that the vulnerable troposphere of the Ediacaran era with an irregular crust morphology was the result of layering the earth surface with silica and magnetite, small air layers of cooling pockets consisting of the carbon dioxide and inorganic mineral composite items of tourmaline, gneiss material and the formation of a particular organic substance of carbon spheres that are thought to be residual airbourne materials of methane and carbon dioxide. The way tourmaline is deposited is from the very same way iron, berylium and manganese came to the surface as igneus movement. Of course the layering of certain chemicals is quite vast with the formation of sandstone and carbon spheres created spontaneously from on-earth eruptions of primarily condensed oxides.

1. Install the KB4025337
2. Create the registry key LdapEnforceChannelBinding" and set it to 1 to enable the KB to fix the CVE reported.
I checked from the server-side, the kb KB4025337 required is already applied after running the "Get-HotFix -Id KB4025337"(but installed on 08/20/2017), so the missed action was to create and set a registry key value "LdapEnforceChannelBinding" to enable the KB to fix the CVE reported.
I relaunch the Nexpose scan I get the same vulnerability reported with the message " Vulnerable software installed: non-vulnerable test results suppressed for readability.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters LdapEnforceChannelBinding - contains unexpected value 1 "
I checked also the Local Group Policy, I can see that :
DC: LDAP server channel Binding token requirement is set to: When supported
DC: LDAP server signing requirement is set to: None
Could someone please help in resolving this issue as it's an emergency for me?
should I remove the KB and install it again, could this fix the vulnerability reported?
I'm working on a project and I need the data of these articles :
1-Assessment of runup predictions by empirical models on non-truncated beaches on the south-east Australian coast
2-Coastal vulnerability assessment based on video wave run-up observations at a mesotidal, steep-sloped beach
Can someone help me?
How to compute the Households Vulnerability Index ? Can someone provide me articles, if possible, with supplementary materials related about Households Vulnerability Index ?
Focusing on the vulnerabilities in consensus protocols
Climate change vulnerability is not an emerging issue but the importance of adaptation is always neglected. Inequity makes women’s health vulnerable from their birth and regional variation makes it more prominent specially due to climate change vulnerability. Disparity in healthcare access is more problematic in third world countries like Bangladesh and it occurs at each level: individual, family, social and even in regional variation. Men’s perception about women’s health is not satisfactory at rural-coastal level in Bangladesh and the problem is more deeply rooted in disaster prone areas where early marriage and adolescent pregnancy are just in epidemic always.
In order to assess the socio-economic vulnerability of households, what data would be needed and can be obtained from the National Statistics Institute ?
I want a clear solution for measuring economic vulnerability and social vulnerability of a household or an individual in normal weather settings or normal environment. Please help me from your side, if possible
The states (S) are V -vulnerable people as S1, S2 Rate of people with HIV diagnosis, S3 rate of people with AIDS diagnosis, S4 Rate of deaths from HIV/AIDS virus
One of my own algorithms does that. It is called Discrete Probability Detector (DPD). DPD transforms any sequence of symbols into a transition matrix. Please look at the project:
Educational discourse leads to a defined career path. However, educational revolutions have ensured that we move and transition from conventional militaristic ways of teaching to self-education and flexible expandable ways of learning and teaching. An epistemological crisis arises when there is a realization and a pressing need of more knowledge systems to blossom and take shape. Usually such knowledge systems have existed longer than the knowledge systems we are already used to in our institutions. Epistemology in its simplest form is knowledge production. The creation of knowledge on the basis of what exists, what is known and what is knowable. When learning, knowledge and what is allowed to exist is based on the power associated with that knowledge. From its creators such as the first people to come up with those concepts, the models, the illustrations and demonstrations. The knowledge systems in conventional environments such as higher learning institutions usually does not take into account how such knowledges can be diffused in indegenous communities. Indegenous knowledge systems have sought to be discovered for exploration, recognition and for the mere fact of one not defaulting to ignorance on the basis that knowledge systems are hierarchically matched as superior against each other. On the basis that there exists no objective truth, epistemology has seized to be systematic, categorised, typologised, patternised, or sequentialized, but rather has spread out into fragments, and some knowledge systems have emanated from areas and places not yet explored, they need to be afforded the same attention and effort if they are to sprout into fruition. However, we need to distinguish if epistemology is career oriented, power oriented or simply knowledge oriented.
Can electricity consumption (KWh) be used as an indicator or proxy variable for drought vulnerability assessment? What is the relationship between electricity consumption and drought vulnerability?
I am currently looking for a new research topic for my Ph.D. Specifically, what I did in MA courses was explore the determinants of vulnerability. Here, I consider poverty, covariate risk, and idiosyncratic (household-specific risks) as elements of vulnerability. Then, during my Ph.D. (near future), I want to do my research about land reform and climate change especially in the context of the philippine focusing on CARP and Livelihood by using panel data and some qualitative data. Does anyone have an idea about it?
Dear Masahiko Jin,
You are planning to cover an interesting, important and developmental topic as part of your doctoral dissertation. I invite you to my discussion profile of the Research Gate portal, where various issues related to climate change, pro-environmental transformation of the economy, environmental policy, sustainable development, the impact of the pandemic on ecology, food security, sustainable organic farming, etc. have been taken up on my RG portal profile. also publications on specific issues of this issue.
Best regards,
