Moving existing legacy systems to cloud platforms is an ever popular option. But, such endeavour may not be hazard-free and demands a proper understanding of requirements and risks involved prior to tak- ing any action. The time is indeed ripe to undertake a realistic view of what migrating legacy systems to cloud may offer, an understanding of exceptional situations causing system quality goal failure in such a transition, and insights on countermeasures. The cloud migration body of knowledge,...

This research investigated the human awareness of hazardous activities and its effects on market fire in Nigeria. Three (3) main markets with high commercial activities selected for this study include Tejuosho market in Lagos, Mile 1 market in Port Harcourt and Ochanja market in Onitsha. Ten hazardous activities were identified within these selected markets. Methods for information gathering include interview, literature review, questionnaire, Occupational Health and Safety Standards (OHSAS)...

This thesis develops a quantitative process for determining if the changes being made to the combat/weapon systems during a maintenance availability are significant and the risk those changes pose to the readiness of the ship. The purpose of this process is to assist decision-makers in determining if a ship should conduct Combat Systems Ship Qualification Trials (CSSQT) post-availability. The process uses warfare area criticality and type of change to determine the significance of the change....

This thesis develops a methodology and novel metric for the design, verification and validation of microgrids for resiliency objectives. A systems engineering analysis identifies the microgrid function as providing power to facilities to enable mission accomplishment. Microgrids can meet the need of Department of Defense (DoD) facilities to continue missions by providing power for critical loads when utility power is lost. Previous research and existing tools for microgrid design and assessment...

The construction industry in Afghanistan faces challenges such as cost overruns and delays. To overcome these problems, nowadays, implementing risk management in construction field has shown improvements in the mitigation of risks which have adverse impacts on project objects such as time, cost and quality. Risk assessment process is executed as part of risk management for uncertainties that construction sector confronts in Afghanistan.21 most significant risks were identified, analyzed and...

Involvement of digital information in almost of enterprise sectors makes information having value that must be protected from information leakage. In order to obtain proper method for protecting sensitive information, enterprise must perform risk analysis of threat. However, enterprises often get limitation in measuring risk related information security threat. Therefore, this paper has goal to give approach for estimating risk by using information value. Techniques for measuring information...

The objective of every electrical power producer is to meet its customers’ supply demands at a reasonable cost. Therefore plants and equipment in these stations must have availability, reliability and predictability life-cycle cost (LCC). Due to maintenance problems and poor supportive systems, Nigeria electric power generating stations are not able to meet their customers’ requirements; these are the major causes of customers’ dissatisfaction in power supply requirements. Often it is...

In this episode of the Hack the Planet Podcast: For too long, the confusion caused by the Adam Shostack/MS threat modeling "methodology" has prevented security teams from doing any productive risk analysis. That ends now. We clear up the confusion around what a threat model is, what it's for, how best to go about developing one, what is so very very wrong with the Adam Shostack/MS method of threat modeling, and how to achieve better results with less effort and arguing. Check...

The risk assessment process is a structured approach to obtaining expert judgments on the level of waterway risk. The process also addresses the relative merits of specific types of Vessel Traffic Management (VTM) improvements for reducing risk in the port. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the port risk assessment process uses a select group of experts/stakeholders in each port to evaluate waterway risk factors and the effectiveness of various VTM improvements. The process...

The Industrial Hygiene (IH) Branch of the Institute for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health Risk Analysis (IERA) recently completed an Air Force-wide assessment of worker exposures during polyurethane application. The results indicate overall worker exposures to isocyanates are low during these operations, and at levels that can be adequately controlled by air-purifying respirators with organic vapor cartridges and N95 filters.

We examined the concept that individuals vary in their propensity to methylate promoter CpG islands by measuring such methylation in their peripheral blood. Individuals more prone to methylate CpG islands may be more susceptible to breast or other cancers. Scope: Our objective was to test peripheral blood for promoter methylation of selected genes known to become methylated in breast cancer using sensitive and specific quantitative assays. Major findings/ up-to-date report of the progress in...

The Industrial Hygiene Branch, in a collaborative effort with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), developed a field analytical method to measure hexavalent chromium (CrVI, chromate) levels in air. The method uses ultrasonic extraction of sampling filters, solid-phase extraction of chromates from the extracted solution, and determination of chromate concentrations by spectrophotometry. It is an alternative to NIOSH Methods 7300 and 7600 and overcomes some of the...

The 1918 influenza pandemic serves as a poignant reminder of how devastating influenza can be. Its ability to generate enormous numbers of casualties, probable travel restrictions, and effects on civilian support infrastructure poses a serious threat to military operations. More recently, in 1996, a United States ship of the line was taken out of service and forced into a foreign port for 2 days while waiting for enough crew members to recover before resuming normal operations. In light of this...

This paper aims to analyse the impacts of climate change to the current and predicted future situations of road transportation in the UK and evaluate the corresponding adaptation plans to cope with them. A conceptual framework of long-term adaptation planning for climate change in road systems is proposed to ensure the resilience and sustainability of road transport systems under various climate risks such as flooding and increased temperature. To do so, an advanced Fuzzy Bayesian Reasoning...

Since the 2001 anthrax attacks, communities have been responding to a sample surge of suspicious mailings. Each event has the potential to be an act of bioterrorism involving a deadly pathogen and, thus, requires a timely response in order to evaluate the risk to public safety. Stakeholders from federal and state governments and industry have recognized the need to develop a mission capability for responding to these suspicious events. The framework for a biothreat field response mission...

Western science has developed powerful techniques for modeling and aiding important social decisions. One such technique is risk assessment. The relationship of risk to cultural context is apparent in a number of its facets, including its dependence on values and the (potential) clash between probabilistic versus deterministic views about states of the future. This paper is an examination of the concept of risk using as a lens ideas and concepts about risk that are prevalent in Western culture,...

The success of a software development project greatly depends upon which process model is used. This paper emphasizes on the need of using appropriate model as per the application to be developed. In this paper we have done the comparative study of the following software models namely Waterfall, Prototype, RAD (Rapid Application Development) Incremental, Spiral, Build and Fix and V-shaped. Our aim is to create reliable and cost effective software and these models provide us a way to develop...

A novel approach to technical risk identification and analysis for major weapons systems acquisitions is proposed. It is informed by the limitations of the current risk matrix. The approach is to examine representations of the evolving system design to locate sources of complexity and then inform the program manager as he/she makes technical choices among competing alternatives. Some of the alternatives will create more complexity and therefore more risk. The PM will then be able to balance...
