Objective:To explore the spatial accumulation of diseases andtheir aggravating factors are essential in all public health.This study attempts to use geographic information system(GIS)to provide more information about the incidence and future of anthrax.Methods:Patients were diagnosed with anthrax in Kurdistan Province from 2009 to 2016.Data was then exported into ArcGIS software version 9 and the required layers for years and areas were added.Final map for each year was drawn up,pointing out the hot spots and predicting its future pattern.Results:Most cases were reported in females(57 cases,54.80%),and the lower body limbs were most affected(63 cases,60.57%).The highest numbers of incidences were related to the cities of Marivan,Saqez and Divandareh,with more concentration in the central parts of the province,rather than borderline areas.The highest percentage of the probable incidence of the disease was in Sanandaj(57.74%)with a potential susceptible area of 1729.12 km2 and then in Saqez(54.36%)with a potential area of 2422.4 km2.Conclusions:A vast area of Kurdistan Province is high risk for new cases of anthrax.Therefore,it is important to scale up the surveillance system in the province.

Integrated Distribution Management System:Architecture,Functions,and Application in China

As massive distributed energy resources(DERs)are integrated into distribution networks(DNs)and the distribution automation facilities are widely deployed,the DNs are evolving to active distribution networks(ADNs).This paper introduces the architecture and main function modules of an integrated distribution management system(IDMS)and its applica-tions in China.This system consists of three subsystems,including the real-time operation and control system(OCS),outage management system(OMS),and operator training simulator(OTS).The OCS has a hierarchical architecture with three levels,including the local controller for DER clusters,the optimization of DNs incorporated with multi-clusters,and the coordina-tion operation of integrated transmission&distribution(T&D)networks.The OMS is developed based on the geographical information system(GIS)and coordinated with OCS.While in the OTS,both the ADN and its host transmission network(TN)are simulated to make the simulation results more credible.The main functions of the three subsystems and their interaction data flows are described and some typical application scenarios are also presented.

Distribution area demarcation for logistic centers under geographical information system decision support system

Demarcating distribution area of goods is often guided by the rule of thumb by business proprietors. However, this method seems to be unsuitable when the demand points increase to a certain large extent. The present work attempted to convert the problem of distribution area demarcation into a localized problem of warehouseing and networking, and tried to establish district-based planning mode based on location based heuristic (LBH). Two methods were used in this study: 1) the manual method to construct the mathematical model and conduct simulation; 2) the automatic method using TransCAD software of geographical information system (GIS) for simulation. By comparing the effects of the two methods, the research provides theoretical support for business proprietors to demarcate the distribution area rationally with the application of GIS system. The results show that GIS has very good graphics construction function to replace complex text, and the automatic demarcating mode with human-machine interaction provides a good business decision-making support.

A Framework for Cybersecurity Alert Distribution and Response Network (ADRIAN)

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms are critical for organizations to monitor and manage their security operations centers. However, organizations using SIEM platforms have several challenges such as inefficiency of alert management and integration with real-time communication tools. These challenges cause delays and cost penalties for organizations in their efforts to resolve the alerts and potential security breaches. This paper introduces a cybersecurity Alert Distribution and Response Network (Adrian) system. Adrian introduces a novel enhancement to SIEM platforms by integrating SIEM functionalities with real-time collaboration platforms. Adrian leverages the uniquity of mobile applications of collaboration platforms to provide real-time alerts, enabling a two-way communication channel that facilitates immediate response to security incidents and efficient SIEM platform management. To demonstrate Adrian’s capabilities, we have introduced a case-study that integrates Wazuh, a SIEM platform, to Slack, a collaboration platform. The case study demonstrates all the functionalities of Adrian including the real-time alert distribution, alert customization, alert categorization, and enablement of management activities, thereby increasing the responsiveness and efficiency of Adrian’s capabilities. The study concludes with a discussion on the potential expansion of Adrian’s capabilities including the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhanced alert prioritization and response automation.

Soil Resources Information System for Improving Productivity Using Geo-Informatics Technology

Soil surveying and mapping is an important operation, since it plays a key role in the knowledge about soil nutrients, properties and how it can be used for agriculture. This study was carried out in order to map soil chemical properties and macronutrients status in North, Center and South districts zones of Gujarat state. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used in this study to present the secondary data of the soil which were obtained from Anand Agriculture University (AAU), Gujarat. The major objective of this study was to analyze & visualize the secondary data of soil through IDW, spatial interpolation techniques for suitable mapping in a selected North, Central and South districts of Gujarat state. Various maps showing spatial distribution of micronutrients and chemical properties for North, Center and South districts zones of Gujarat state were prepared. These digital maps can be used in precision farming studies with the application of fertilizers and micro-nutrients as per the requirement and the recommendations. This approach is proposed as a method for the evaluation of sustainable soil management practices such as variable rate of fertilization. This study demonstrates the usefulness of geo-informatics technology in soil survey as well as applications of various micronutrients to specific areas based on recommendations.

Population Distribution and Influencing Factors Based on ESDA

Based on the exploratory spatial data analysis （ESDA） technique and geographic information system （GIS） platform, with statistic data of counties in 2005, this paper confirms that there is a large population density gap between counties in 2005 because the Gini coefficient is 0.55. Population distribution does not change a lot during the past decades, and the southeast China is still much more densely populated than the northwest China. The global spa- tial autoeorrelation of population distribution is obvious because Moran＇s I scores 0.42 and local spatial autocorrelation is partly significant. Climate and elevation are still the main natural influ- encing factors. Meanwhile industrial structure and transportation significantly influence population distribution. Different combinations of natural factors have different effects on population distribution. For a long term, climate and terrain factor stability affect population distribution. But its influence will be weakened by progress of technology. Economic development is the main factor that changes population distribution for a short term.

Security of earthquake disaster reduction system

No matter whether a system is operated manually or automatically controlled by computer, the system’s vulnerability always exists. Earthquake Disaster Reduction System (EDRS) belongs to the category of information system. According to the features of security for EDRS, the steps and the methods on how to build the EDRS security were analyzed. The EDRS security features, security strategies and security measures were also given through a distributed EDRS skeleton that has been applied. Because there was still no appointed and authoritative agency or organization to certify and test EDRS security in China, a national information technology security certification center was introduced and suggested for the certification of the EDRS security. Finally, several discussions and tendencies for the EDRS development were presented.

Are spatial distributions of major elements in soil influenced by human landscapes?

The present study attempted to evaluate the influence of human activity on major elements （Na2O, MgO, A1203, SiO2, K2O, CaO, Fe203）, and to find a method to explore correlations between major elements and human disturbances, according to geospatial theories and methods. The study results indicate that landscapes influence major elements in diverse ways： Al2O3 is closely related to road and mine landscapes; strong relationships exist between MgO, Fe2O3, CaO, and SiO2 and roads; Na2O, SiO2, and Fe2O3 are unrelated to city landscapes; and Na2O is unrelated to road and mine landscapes.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Traditional Villages in Guizhou Province

Traditional villages have high historical,cultural,scientific,artistic,social and economic value.They reflect the harmony and balance among long-term production,human life and natural environment.They are a community of tangible and intangible cultural heritages,and have received extensive attention from political circles,academic circles and the public.Through the Arc GIS10.3 geographic information system,724 traditional villages in Guizhou Province,China are visualized,and the nearest neighbor index,geographic concentration index,imbalance index,kernel density estimation and other methods are employed to analyze the spatial distribution type,distribution balance,spatial agglomeration characteristics and influencing factors.Studies have shown that the traditional villages in Guizhou Province tend to be concentrated and distributed,spatially forming high-density areas in southeastern Guizhou,second high-density areas in Anshun,moderate-density areas in Tongren,and low-density areas in Zunyi.From the city (prefecture) scale,traditional villages in Guizhou Province are relatively concentrated in Qiandongnan Prefecture,Tongren City,Anshun City and Qiannan Prefecture.From a regional perspective,the distribution of traditional villages in Guizhou Province is uneven,mainly distributed in Qiannan,Qiandong and Qianzhong.Their spatial distribution is affected by factors such as natural environment,traffic accessibility,ethnic culture,and economic development.It reveals the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of traditional villages in Guizhou Province,and provides relevant realistic and theoretical foundations for the protection,inheritance and innovative development of traditional villages.In addition,the formation mechanism of traditional villages needs to be further analyzed based on information reflecting the attributes of traditional villages such as village history,village types,site selection patterns,characteristic buildings,production and life.It is also necessary to improve the traditional village database and grading evaluation system,and formulate protection and development plans,to realize the activation and utilization of traditional village resources,and promote their renewal and modernization.

Spatial distribution of the oxygen-18 in precipitation in China based on a new empirical model

Modeling the oxygen-18 in precipitation based on regional topography and meteorological factors is helpful to constrain missing isotopic data in some regions that is required for many paleoclimate,eco-hydrological and atmospheric circulation studies.Therefore,the relationship betweenδ18Oin precipitation(δ18OPPT)and the affecting factors need to be thoroughly understood.We present a model considering the combined effects of temperature,altitude,and latitude on the spatial variability of annual average of stable isotopes in precipitation across China.This new model performed significantly better(P<0.05)than the widely used Farquhar and Bowen&Wilkinsonmodels.Our model allows modelling the spatial distribution of isotopes in precipitation depending on temperature variation.The residuals of presented model did not significantly correlate with altitude.Based on the model and residuals,a high-resolution map of annual averageδ18Opptacross China was generated.δ18OPPTdecreased from low toward high latitudes and from low towards high altitudes area.The model application provides important information forancient climate,hydrological cycle and water vapor sources studies.

In order to verify the validity of the proposed approach, an example-based integration development has been implemented with Java 2 Software Development Kit and Java Web Services Developer Pack in Windows 2000 Professional environment.

Management of Colorado potato beetle in invasive frontier areas

Colorado potato beetle(CPB)is one of the most devastating invasive insects and it is native to North America.It feeds on several wild species of the genus Solamum,such as S.elaeagnifolium and S.rostratum Dunal,and is one of the major pests of potato and eggplant.Beginning in the early 19 th century,CPB has rapidly spread across North America,Europe,and Central Asia.CPB was first reported to invade Xinjiang of China in 1993 and it was effectively controlled in Mori County.Since 2013,CPB has also been found in Jilin and Heilongjiang in Northeast China,and it likely migrated to these provinces from Russia.Thus,China has become the frontier for the global CPB spread,and risk management and monitoring systems for this pest are urgently needed.Here,we summarize pest management methods that are used in areas at the frontier of the CPB invasion,and put forward frameworks for further preventing and controlling of the spread of CPB.The management methods for CPB can also serve as an example for the control of invasive species mitigation in frontier areas.
