Coevolving Cybersecurity Adversaries for Industrial Control Systems in Failure-Prone Environments by Wicks, Kathryn

“…In the sub-area that this thesis focuses on, power microgrids, such disturbances can come in the form of line-line faults, line-ground faults, lack of generation capacity to meet demand, and unintentional islanding, among many others. Microgrids must be resilient to these events, and this thesis investigates to what extent they are currently and if they can be improved. …”

A comparison study of the impact of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnSO4 in wastewater treatment processes by Huang, Xi Tong

“…Through the bacterial viability assessment and FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis, the live-to-dead cell ratio indicated that wastewater bacterial cells might be resilient to ZnO nanoparticles and ZnSO4 but they were able to cause the change of shape and size of activated sludge, as can be seen in the images from FESEM. …”

Global surgery and climate change: how global surgery can prioritise both the health of the planet and its people by Chen, Sophia, Zolo, Yvan, Ngulube, Lumbani, Isiagi, Moses, Maswime, Salome

“…This predicament is particularly pronounced in LMICs, who already suffer from a disproportionate share of the global burden of disease, and where the demand for surgery is rising without corresponding resilient infrastructure. LMICs face a double jeopardy of health inequity coupled with climate vulnerability. …”

An energy-efficient self-adaptive duty cycle MAC protocol for traffic-dynamic wireless sensor networks by Zhao, Yi Zhi, Ma, Maode, Miao, Chun Yan

“…In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol called Self-Adaptive Duty Cycle MAC (SEA-MAC) by introducing dual adaptive mechanisms: (1) An Adaptive Scheduling (AS) mechanism which makes the nodes’ active duration adaptive to variable traffic load, thus enabling SEA-MAC to resiliently schedule data transmission for the Sleep period. …”

Climate and biodiversity in the Andean Dry Puna by Bennett Manzano, M

“…At a finer scale, vegetation types responded to low rainfall in different ways; tussock grasslands were the most affected by low rainfall; wetlands and scrublands the most resilient. The aridity of the Dry Puna also poses particular ecological limitations to animals. …”

Enhancing indoor positioning accuracy with WLAN and WSN: a QPSO hybrid algorithm with Surface tessellation by Scavino, Edgar, Abd Rahman, Mohd Amiruddin, Farid, Zahid, Ahmad, Sadique, Asim, Muhammad

“…For these reasons, a hybrid approach that employs at least two different signal typologies proved to be more effective, resilient, robust, and accurate in determining localization in indoor environments. …”
