XML Query Optimization for Improvement of Data Warehouses Information Processing
Abstract: XML data warehouses give decision-support systems a chance to use complicated data by giving them a place to start. But native-XML database management systems are slow right now, so it is important to look into ways to make them faster. This study presents two strategies to think about. To start, we suggest using a link index that was made with the fact that XML warehouses have a lot of dimensions …

Cyber Security Evaluation for a Petroleum Refinery Using Attack Tree Methodology and Economic Indexes
Abstract: Information Technology (IT) is vital and valuable to our society. An important type of IT system is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The most common misconception regarding the security of SCADA was that this network was electronically isolated from other networks and hence attackers could not access them. Over the years SCADA systems have become incorporated with other IT systems, which has made them becoming increasingly vulnerable to …

A comparative study to assess the Ankle Brachial Index by palpatory and Doppler method
Abstract: Background of the study: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is strongly associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Relatively few non-invasive diagnostic tests are available that can reveal the evidence of atherosclerosis before the development of symptoms. One such simple, cost effective diagnostic test is Ankle Brachial Index. Since, there is a need to validate palpatory method of Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) measurement, the study was conceived.Aim of the study: …
