(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study evaluates the feasibility of applying forward osmosis (FO) process for the pretreatment of feed solution to a Multi Stage Flash (MSF) desalination plant. For the first time, real brine reject and real ...
Systematic identification of threats in the cloud: A Survey
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
When a vulnerability is discovered in a system, some key questions often asked by the security analyst are what threat(s) does it pose, what attacks may exploit it, and which parts of the system it affects. Answers to those ...
