Analysis of Outbreak and Global Impacts of the COVID-19
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are not only restricted to causing illness inhumans but also affect animals such as camels, cattle, cats, and bats, thus affecting a large group ofliving species. The ... -
A Novel Application of League Championship Optimization (LCA): Hybridizing Fuzzy Logic for Soil Compression Coefficient Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Employing league championship optimization (LCA) technique for adjusting the membership function parameters of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is the focal objective of the present study. The mentioned ... -
Residents’ perception of cultural heritage in terms of job creation and overtourism in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In 2017, about 45% of the European population believed that cultural heritage has a positive effect on the local economy and that there are not too many tourists. However, about 33% of Europeans consider the number of ... -
GIS-Based Mapping of Seismic Parameters for the Pyrenees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the present paper, three of the main seismic parameters, maximum magnitude -Mmax, b-value, and annual rate -AR, have been studied for the Pyrenees range in southwest Europe by a Geographic Information System (GIS). The ... -
Analysis of filtering techniques for investigating landslide-induced topographic changes in the Oetz Valley (Tyrol, Austria)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Landslides endanger settlements and infrastructure in mountain areas across the world. Monitoring of landslides is therefore essential in order to understand and possibly predict their behavior and potential danger. ... -
When international academic conferences go virtual
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study investigates the extent to which international academic conferences changes format to virtual when faced by sudden Covid-19 related immobility. Data on 587 conferences in the fields of business, economics, ... -
A New Modeling Approach for Spatial Prediction of Flash Flood with Biogeography Optimized CHAID Tree Ensemble and Remote Sensing Data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Flash floods induced by torrential rainfalls are considered one of the most dangerous natural hazards, due to their sudden occurrence and high magnitudes, which may cause huge damage to people and properties. This study ... -
A Comparative Study of Kernel Logistic Regression, Radial Basis Function Classifier, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, and Logistic Model Tree for Flash Flood Susceptibility Mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Risk of flash floods is currently an important problem in many parts of Vietnam. In this study, we used four machine-learning methods, namely Kernel Logistic Regression (KLR), Radial Basis Function Classifier (RBFC), ... -
Marine gravity anomaly mapping for the Gulf of Tonkin area (Vietnam) using Cryosat-2 and Saral/AltiKa satellite altimetry data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Marine gravity anomalies are essential data for determining coastal geoid, investigating tectonics and crustal structures, and offshore explorations. The objective of this study is to present a methodology for estimating ... -
Towards a Secure DevOps Approach for Cyber-Physical Systems: An Industrial Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)With the expansion of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) across critical and regulated industries, systems must be continuously updated to remain resilient. At the same time, they should be extremely secure and safe to operate ... -
SIoT Framework: Towards an Approach for Early Identification of Security Requirements for Internet-of-things Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Security has become more of a concern with the wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT) devices. The importance of addressing security risks early in the development lifecycle before pushing to market cannot ... -
Evaluation criteria versus firm characteristics as determinants of public R&D funding
