La Rocca di Cefalù: modello geomeccanico e condizioni di rischio per la cittadina normanna
2021
La cittadina di Cefalù, ubicata a circa 70 km da Palermo, è una delle perle del Mediterraneo, per la bellezza dei luoghi, dominati dalla Rocca, imponente rupe carbonatica alta circa 250 m s.l.m., e per i beni architettonici (Figg. 1 e 2). Fondata dai greci con il nome di Κεφαλοίδιον tra il XIV e il XIII a.C., conserva sulla Rocca il palazzo santuario ciclopico-megalitico, noto come Tempio di Diana. Sul ciglio della Rocca e per il suo intero sviluppo si snoda la cinta muraria di tipo megalitico risalente alla fine del V secolo a.C. (periodo pre-ellenico), in parte ricostruita nel periodo bizantino (VII÷IX secolo d.C.). Nel periodo normanno (secolo XII d.C.) furono costruiti i principali monu…
Landslide inventory and rockfall risk assessment of a strategic urban area (Palermo, Sicily)
2019
This study concerns the assessment of the rockfall risk for two strategic sectors of the Mount Pellegrino, one of the most relevant place in the city of Palermo. During the last two decades, several rockfalls affected the study area setting up a serious threat to the people, structures and infrastructures preventing the economic and social development. For these landslides a detailed GIS inventory was realized; the most dangerous rockfalls occurred within the two study sectors. In both areas we have carried out detailed field surveys and the geo-mechanical characterization of the rock slopes. These analyses allowed to define the rock mass parameters, the set of discontinuities and the kinem…
Analysis of information risk management methods
2014
Zudin, Rodion Analysis of information risk management methods Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2014, 33 p. Information Systems, Bachelor’s Thesis Supervisor: Siponen, Mikko A brief overview in the information risk management field is done in this study by introducing the shared terminology and methodology of the field using literature overview in the first chapter. Second chapter consists of examining and comparing two information risk management methodologies proposed by two different guides: Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems by National Institute of Standards and Technology and The Security Risk Management Guide by Microsoft. By finding common factors and methods…
