the upper ocean are important for interpreting the global climate and its variability. The upper ocean is often referred to as the ocean mixed layer (ML). It is a quasi-homogeneous layer of oceanic tracers regulated by turbulence due to air-sea exchanges of heat and momentum fluxes. The thickness of the ML modulates its heat capacity and controls the evolution of sea surface temperature (SST), which is important for understanding climate dynamics. Therefore, the mean state and seasonal cycle of ocean…

all assaults result from known vulnerabilities and flawed misconfigurations, an answer is most certainly not direct. With a crowd of networks, operating system and application related vulnerabilities, security specialists are getting the opportunity to be logically aware of the need to review and direct potential security dangers on their network and systems. This requires a more effective and insightful way to deal with sustaining the project. Vulnerability Assessment (VA) is the procedure of identifying…

Statement of Work Vulnerability Assessment The objective of a vulnerability assessment is to validate host configurations and produce a list of known vulnerabilities existing on in-scope systems. The testing is limited to relatively safe checks designed to limit any negative impact in risk-averse environments. Pre-Engagement A critical component of this security engagement is to clearly establish and agree to the rules of engagement. During our initial scheduling and kick-off sessions, the rules…

research project will discuss the threats that have been present in the past 5-10 years and will provide an in depth study of what occurred and what could have been done in order to prevent this type of attack from happening. The topic of risk assessment and vulnerability will be analyzed as well. Introduction Ransomware, malicious software or applications that make threats both idle and actual towards users of a particular application or service. This malicious software demands the targeted user and or…

For vulnerability analysis, we first normalised the various indicators by carrying standardisation procedure to ensure uniformity and comparability among the indicators (Vincent 2004). We employed a ranking system to assign coefficients to the indicators. Two criteria were employed here. Lowest value or highest value indicators that contributed most to vulnerability were assigned the highest co-efficient value of 1.0 (on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0). For example, in highest value case- suppose the poverty…

(UER) and 1035.4mm (UWR) as shown in table II. In spite of the seemingly high rainfall amount recorded in NR over the period, the region showed the highest variability with coefficient of variation (CV) =0.21. The Upper East Region also showed a similar variation in rainfall amount (CV = 0.20). The analysis showed considerable levels of variability in rainfall pattern in all the regions. Such condition may create uncertainty in water availability to crops, and thus pose significant risk to crop production…

Abstract Climate change and variability poses a major challenge to current and future productivity of major crops. During the last century, there has been a rapid increase in various greenhouse gas emissions, leading to warmer temperatures, drought stress, and increased exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation. At the present rate of population increase and green-house gas emissions it is predicted that future climate will be warmer and drier, and there will be more occurrences of short episodes of extreme…

Introduction According to Kizza (2013), the rapid growth of networking has led to increased security risks. Many of these risks are as result of hacking, improper uses of network resources and network device vulnerabilities. Awareness of the various weaknesses and vulnerabilities is vital to the success of current networks (Kizza, 2013). The network security incidents are increasing at a disturbing rate every year. As the complexity of these threats increases, so do the security measures required…
