Spaceborne differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (DInSAR) has already proven its potential for mapping ground deformation phenomena, e.g. volcano dynamics. However, atmospheric disturbances as well as phase decorrelation have prevented hitherto this technique from achieving full operational capability. These drawbacks are overcome by carrying out measurements on a subset of image pixels corresponding to pointwise stable reflectors (Permanent Scatterers, PS) and exploiting long temporal series of interferometric data. Results obtained by processing 55 images acquired by the European Space Agency (ESA) ERS SAR sensors over Southern California show that the PS approach pushes measurement accuracy very close to its theoretical limit (about 1 mm), allowing the description of millimetric deformation phenomena occurring in a complex fault system. A comparison with corresponding displacement time series relative to permanent GPS stations of the Southern California Integrated GPS network (SCIGN) is carried out. Moreover, the pixel-by-pixel character of the PS analysis allows the exploitation of individual phase stable radar targets in low-coherence areas. This makes spaceborne interferometric measurements possible in vegetated areas, as long as a sufficient spatial density of individual isolated man-made structures or exposed rocks is available. The evolution of the Ancona landslide (central Italy) was analysed by processing 61 ERS images acquired in the time span between June 1992 and December 2000. The results have been compared with deformation values detected during optical levelling campaigns ordered by the Municipality of Ancona. The characteristics of PS, GPS and optical levelling surveying are to some extent complementary: a synergistic use of the three techniques could strongly enhance quality and reliability of ground deformation monitoring.

The present study examined excessive Internet use of Taiwanese adolescents and a psychological aspect of users, sensation seeking, thus to differentiate motivation of Internet dependents and non-dependents. Seven hundred and fifty three Taiwanese high school students were selected using cluster sampling and 88 of them were categorized as Internet dependent users. Results indicated that Internet dependents spent more time on-line than non-dependents. While Internet dependents perceived significantly more negative Internet influences on daily routines, school performance, and parental relation than non-dependents, both Internet dependents and non-dependents viewed Internet use as enhancing peer relations. Making friends through the Internet has become a popular activity among adolescents, potentially leading to its excessive use. Internet dependents scored significantly higher on overall sensation seeking and disinhibition than Internet non-dependents. However, both groups did not differ in the life experience seeking subscale and thrill and adventure seeking subscale. This finding contradicts that of Lavin, Marvin, McLarney, Nola, and Scott [CyberPsychol. Behav. 2 (2000) 425]. Possible reasons for this discrepancy and for the relation between Internet dependence and disinhibition in Taiwanese adolescents are also discussed.

Flank instability and sector collapses, which pose major threats, are common on volcanic islands. On 22 Dec 2018, a sector collapse event occurred at Anak Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Strait, triggering a deadly tsunami. Here we use multiparametric ground-based and space-borne data to show that prior to its collapse, the volcano exhibited an elevated state of activity, including precursory thermal anomalies, an increase in the island’s surface area, and a gradual seaward motion of its southwestern flank on a dipping decollement. Two minutes after a small earthquake, seismic signals characterize the collapse of the volcano’s flank at 13:55 UTC. This sector collapse decapitated the cone-shaped edifice and triggered a tsunami that caused 430 fatalities. We discuss the nature of the precursor processes underpinning the collapse that culminated in a complex hazard cascade with important implications for the early detection of potential flank instability at other volcanoes. On 22 December 2018, the western flank of Anak Krakatau collapsed into the sea of the Sunda Strait triggering a tsunami which killed approximately 430 people and displaced 33,000. Here, the authors show that Anak Krakatau exhibited an elevated state of activity several months prior to the collapse, including precursory thermal anomalies, an increase in the island’s surface area, and a gradual seaward motion of the southwestern flank.

This study investigates the performance of artificial intelligence techniques including artificial neural network (ANN), group method of data handling (GMDH) and support vector machine (SVM) for predicting water quality components of Tireh River located in the southwest of Iran. To develop the ANN and SVM, different types of transfer and kernel functions were tested, respectively. Reviewing the results of ANN and SVM indicated that both models have suitable performance for predicting water quality components. During the process of development of ANN and SVM, it was found that tansig and RBF as transfer and kernel functions have the best performance among the tested functions. Comparison of outcomes of GMDH model with other applied models shows that although this model has acceptable performance for predicting the components of water quality, its accuracy is slightly less than ANN and SVM. The evaluation of the accuracy of the applied models according to the error indexes declared that SVM was the most accurate model. Examining the results of the models showed that all of them had some over-estimation properties. By evaluating the results of the models based on the DDR index, it was found that the lowest DDR value was related to the performance of the SVM model.

Abstract Background & Objective: ubstance abuse is one of the major biological, psychological, and social issues. Various factors contribute to the explanation of addiction. One of these factors is resiliency that causes constructive coping with stressful problems. Also, The quality of life that means the individual's sense of satisfaction from different areas of life and Subjective well-being that includes positive emotional experiences are involved in explaining high-risk behaviors such as substance abuse. So considering that drug addiction is one of the psychosocial and social harms associated with many negative consequences, it is necessary to study the factors that are involved in Substance abuse. Thus this research aimed to determine the Comparison of resilience, quality of life, and subjective well-being in Men with opiate substance abuse and normal men of Rasht city. Methods: In the current research, two groups compared, and the research method was casualcomparative. The statistical population included all opium dependent men referring to addiction treatment centers in Rasht city. In this research, 200 men (100 males with drug abuse and 100 normal males) selected with available sampling method, then Groups were matched in terms of demographic characteristics. Participants responded to psychological resilience scale, world health organization quality of life questionnaire, and subjective wellbeing scale. The research tools were valid and reliable. The Data analyzed by SPSS-21 software using multivariable analysis of variance. Results: The mean age of the addict group was 28.90 years, with a standard deviation of 3.34. Also, the mean age of the healthy group was 29.79 years, with a standard deviation of 3.91. The majority of the addict group (66%) and healthy group (64%) had a high school diploma. The mean scores of the addict group in resilience, quality of life, and subjective well-being were 48.36, 71.57, and 258.18 and the mean scores of the normal group in resilience, quality of life and subjective well-being were 64.32, 75.37, and 304.8. The results of the multivariable analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between groups In terms of resiliency and the scores of Men with opiate substance abuse were lower than normal men (F= 116.49; p<0.001). Also, the results of the multivariable analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between groups In terms of quality of life and the scores of Men with opiate substance abuse were lower than normal men (F=40.12; p<0.001). Finally, the results of the multivariable analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between groups In terms of subjective well-being and the scores of Men with opiate substance abuse were lower than normal men (F= 50.99; p<0.001). Conclusion: Low level of resilience, quality of life, and well-being are factors that lead individuals toward more drug abuse. Psychological resilience makes individuals more flexible for life-threatening events. The quality of life increases an individual's sense of satisfaction from different areas of life, and Subjective well-being increases the experience of positive emotions and happiness of individuals. The mentioned items are effective in improving individual and social actions. As a result, constructive coping strategies increase, and addiction tendency decreases. Therefore, suggest that courses based on psychological resilience skills learning, subjective well-being promotion, and quality of life promotion be held in Addiction treatment centers.

With regard to the role of internal resources such as coping strategies and external resources such as social support in adaptation way of devotees, in this study, the relationship between social support and ways of coping with depression of devotees has been studied. Subjects constituted 380 devotees of Guilan that are randomly selected. By coping strategies questionnaire (Endler and Parker), Zung's Anxiety questionnaire and the social support questionnaire of Sarason et al were evaluated. The results showed that veterans who had the lowest rates of depression significantly used the effective ways to cope with stress (emotion-oriented, problem-oriented, avoidance). Veterans had the greatest amount of social support (family, friends, colleagues, significant persons), suffered less from depression. This study shows the role of social support and special coping strategies in reducing depression symptoms because of consequences of severe injuries caused by the war.
