East Nusa Tenggara is a region in Indonesia which included in the category of hazard prone to earthquakes, because it is flanked AGE DEFYING NIGHT CREME by two earthquakes zones, (subduction zone at the south and back arc trust in the north).It is also vulnerable to earthquake disasters because of high population density.These conditions would thre
Assessment of survival strategies of quantity surveying firms during economic turbulence
Financial crises occasioned by economic turbulence and stiff competition in the construction sector have forced Quantity Surveying firms (QSFs) and construction firms into finding innovative ORG STEEL CUT OATS ways of surviving and staying above completion in most developing nations.The decline in the Nigerian oil and gas production and export has
On Eavesdropping Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks with Directional Antennas
The eavesdropping attack is a serious security threat to a wireless sensor network (WSN) since the eavesdropping attack is a prerequisite for other attacks.Conventional Endcap Kit WSNs consist of wireless nodes equipped with omnidirectional antennas, which broadcast radio signals in all directions and are consequently prone to the eavesdropping att
Network analysis of COVID-19-related PTSD symptoms in China: the similarities and differences between the general population and PTSD sub-population
Background and Objectives: Prevalent Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) negatively affected individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic.Using network analyses, this study explored the construct of PTSD symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in China to identify similarities and differences in PTSD symptom network connectivity between the general Chi
Numerical Analysis of the Effect of Microscale Components Interaction on Measurements of Fiber Optic Strain Sensors Used in Composite Structures
The paper investigates the influence of Colloidal Silver structural components of a composite material on the strain values measured by using an embedded optical fiber with Bragg gratings.The effect of composite plies and intermediate epoxy layers on the transfer of deformations from the measured object to the optical fiber was studied taking into
