The languages invented then, including Fortran, are still in use today due to their versatility and ability to underpin a large majority of the older portions of our digital world and applications. Fortran, or Formula Translation, was a programming language implemented by IBM that shortened the apparatus of coding and the efficacy of the language syntax. Fortran marked the beginning of a new era of efficient programming by reducing the number of statements needed to operate a machine several-fold. Since then, dozens more languages have come into regular practice and have been increasingly diversified over the years. Some modern languages include Python, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, and PHP. These languages significantly improved efficiency and also have a broad range of uses. Python is mainly used for website/software development, data analysis, task automation, image processing, and graphic design applications. On the other hand, Java is primarily used as a client-side programming language. Expanding the coding languages allowed for increasing accessibility but also opened up applications to pertinent security issues. These security issues have varied by prevalence and language. Previous research has narrowed its focus on individual languages, failing to evaluate the security. This research paper investigates the severity and frequency of coding vulnerabilities comparatively across different languages and contextualizes their uses in a systematic literature review.展开更多

However, vulnerability of this type of buildings has been exposed in past earthquakes. OGS buildings are conventionally designed by a bare frame analysis that ignores the stiffness of the infill walls present in the upper storeys, but doing so underestimates the inter-storey drift（ISD） and thereby the force demand in the ground storey columns. Therefore, a multiplication factor（MF） is introduced in various international codes to estimate the design forces（bending moments and shear forces） in the ground storey columns. This study focuses on the seismic performance of typical OGS buildings designed by means of MFs. The probabilistic seismic demand models, fragility curves, reliability and cost indices for various frame models including bare frames and fully infilled frames are developed. It is found that the MF scheme suggested by the Israel code is better than other international codes in terms of reliability and cost.展开更多
