A Conceptual Framework for Safeguarding Endangered Animals Through Wireless Body Sensor Networks
Abstract: Since life began on Earth, incalculable creatures have come back and gone, rendered extinct by naturally dynamical physical and biological conditions. Though extinctions occur naturally, scientific proof strongly indicates that this rate of extinction is far on top of the natural or background rate of the past. The main reason driving this higher rate of loss is habitat loss. Over-exploitation of wildlife for profit-making purposes, the rough guide of destructive …

Seismic-Resilient Structural Systems: Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract: Earthquakes represent one of the most destructive natural hazards, capable of causing severe structural damage, loss of life, and substantial economic disruption. Seismic waves propagating through the ground can induce excessive forces and deformations in buildings, often leading to partial or complete collapse. Statistical records indicate that thousands of earthquakes occur globally each year, including several major events that result in significant damage. Past earthquake disasters have repeatedly demonstrated that …
