  • Detecting and Avoiding Killer Asteroids
    Target Earth! Detecting and Avoiding Killer Asteroids by Trudy E. Bell (Copyright 2013 Trudy E. Bell) ARTH HAD NO warning. When a mountain- above 2000°C and triggering earthquakes and volcanoes sized asteroid struck at tens of kilometers (miles) around the globe. per second, supersonic shock waves radiated Ocean water suctioned from the shoreline and geysered outward through the planet, shock-heating rocks kilometers up into the air; relentless tsunamis surged e inland. At ground zero, nearly half the asteroid’s kinetic energy instantly turned to heat, vaporizing the projectile and forming a mammoth impact crater within minutes. It also vaporized vast volumes of Earth’s sedimentary rocks, releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur di- oxide into the atmosphere, along with heavy dust from both celestial and terrestrial rock. High-altitude At least 300,000 asteroids larger than 30 meters revolve around the sun in orbits that cross Earth’s. Most are not yet discovered. One may have Earth’s name written on it. What are engineers doing to guard our planet from destruction? winds swiftly spread dust and gases worldwide, blackening skies from equator to poles. For months, profound darkness blanketed the planet and global temperatures dropped, followed by intense warming and torrents of acid rain. From single-celled ocean plank- ton to the land’s grandest trees, pho- tosynthesizing plants died. Herbivores starved to death, as did the carnivores that fed upon them. Within about three years—the time it took for the mingled rock dust from asteroid and Earth to fall out of the atmosphere onto the ground—70 percent of species and entire genera on Earth perished forever in a worldwide mass extinction.

  • Non-Lethal Technologies for Forced Stopping Potentially Dangerous Vehicles and Vessels
    INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL "SECURITY & FUTURE" WEB ISSN 2535-082X; PRINT ISSN 2535-0668 Non-lethal technologies for forced stopping potentially dangerous vehicles and vessels Adelina Tumbarska Institute of Metal Science, Equipment and Technologies with Hydro- and Aerodynamics Centre ”Acad. Angel Balevski” at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The development of means for stopping vehicles and vessels that pose a potential threat of criminal and terrorist activity is one of the priorities in the non-lethal technologies research today. This paper summarizes and discusses the results of a study on the current state and prospects of technologies and systems for forced stopping different types of vehicles and vessels. Keywords: NON-LETHAL WEAPONS, VEHICLE STOPPERS, VESSEL STOPPERS Introduction of vehicles. The photo on the left shows tube-shaped caltrops In the operations of military and law enforcement forces, it is designed to puncture self-adhesive car tires, which have been used often necessary to establish checkpoints, roadblocks and barriers, for decades by special forces and law enforcement agencies in the the purpose of which is to protect people and facilities in a certain USA. The opening in the center allows air to escape, even if the perimeter or region from various threats, including vehicles carrying other end of the pipe is compacted by soft soil. Modern caltrops are explosive devices. Pursuing of criminals or suspects in cars is also made of high quality steel with a powder coating for corrosion common in police practice, often endangering other traffic protection. The design shown in the right allows for connecting the participants and passers-by.

Yesterday’s marvel is tomorrow’s museum piece. The same applies to games, although it is not just the core game technology that continues to develop at breakneck speed. The human machine interfaces we use to interact with games are becoming more sophisticated and at the same time, easier to use. The Wii Balance Board™ and the MotionPlus™, Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s PlayStation® Eye are all reinventing how we interact with games, and in turn this is playing part in a greater shift.

  • Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics in the Fields of Climate Finance and Gender Lens Investing
    JANUARY 2021 Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics in the Fields of Climate Finance and Gender Lens Investing Joy Anderson, Criterion Institute with funding from Wallace Global Fund and UNICEF Disrupting Fields: Addressing Power Dynamics | 1 Acknowledgements This paper is grounded in a moment in time in the development of gender lens investing and climate finance. It must be acknowledged up front that the work of Criterion Institute is implicated in this history. I invite you to challenge Criterion and me as its leader on our own decisions and how they affect power dynamics in the field. We are committed to publishing metrics and setting up feedback loops to be an example of the transparency and accountability in field building that we are calling for in this paper. Criterion’s Board of Directors, many of whom are referenced in this work, challenge the power dynamics that keep systems of inequity in place in their own work. They hold Criterion accountable for our mission to expand who sees themselves as able to use finance to create social change. Susan Gibbs at Wallace Global Fund and Patty Alleman at UNICEF have been long-time champions in ensuring that efforts to innovate in systems finance is grounded in goals of equity and justice. This work would not have been possible without funding from both Wallace Global Fund and UNICEF. This has been a collective effort. The whole team at Criterion participated in one way or another developing and writing this paper over the last 18 months as Criterion’s work became increasingly explicit in its focus on power.

If technology is not the only driver in the evolution of warfare, it is the enabler, not to say the trigger, of most of the changes that occurred at the turning point between generations. For a country like Switzerland, Technology Foresight is paramount to identify the opportuni- ties and threats a technology can represent for the different military capabilities building our national armed forces. Rather than picking winners, the Technology Foresight program must provide a comprehensive overview to ensure an early warning about novel relevant technological advances. Identifying potentialities provides the time to build the necessary competences, skills and expertise, in the various fields. In that sense, Technology Foresight must be an integrated element of the doctrine, planing and procurement processes of the armed forces. Only with this strategic futuristic vision, the Swiss armed forces are able to handle, economi- cally and operatively, the evolutions and challenges to come.

  • IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures
    IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures By Jason Coombs ([email protected]) Introduction This is a book about how to secure Microsoft Internet Information Services for administrators and programmers whose work includes a requirement for information security, a computer industry specialty field commonly referred to as infosec. In this book the terms information security and infosec are used interchangeably with the more friendly term data security. This is not a book about hacking, cracking, and the tools and techniques of the bad guys, the so-called black hat hackers. This book teaches computer professionals and infosec specialists how to build secure solutions using IIS. It is your duty to secure and defend networked information systems for the benefit of the good guys who are your end users, clients, or less technical coworkers. There is nothing you can do that will transform a programmable computer running Microsoft Windows from its vulnerable condition to an invulnerable one. Every general purpose programmable computer is inherently vulnerable because it is controlled by software and is designed to allow new software to be installed or executed arbitrarily. Network computing based on programmable general purpose computers will never be safe from an information security perspective. Eliminating the feature of general purpose programmability from a networked computer and replacing its software with firmware reduces but does not eliminate vulnerabilities. These are immutable realities of present day computing and, as always, reality represents your biggest challenge. Microsoft is in business to get as much of your money as possible using whatever means will work at a given moment and in this respect they know virtually no equal in the software business.

Glaser: Detection of Exoplanets 1 Introduction to Exoplanets For centuries, some of humanity’s greatest minds have pondered over the possibility of other worlds orbiting the uncountable number of stars that exist in the visible universe. The seeds for eventual scientific speculation on the possibility of these "exoplanets" began with the works of a 16th century philosopher, Giordano Bruno. In his modernly celebrated work, On the Infinite Universe & Worlds, Bruno states: "This space we declare to be infinite (...) In it are an infinity of worlds of the same kind as our own." By the time of the European Scientific Revolution, Isaac Newton grew fond of the idea and wrote in his Principia: "If the fixed stars are the centers of similar systems [when compared to the solar system], they will all be constructed according to a similar design and subject to the dominion of One." Due to limitations on observational equipment, the field of exoplanetary systems existed primarily in theory until the late 1980s.

  • 14. Riddle Machines: the History and Nature of Interactive Fiction
    Nick Montfort Riddle Machines: The History and Nature of Interactive Fiction 14. Riddle Machines: The History and Nature of Interactive Fiction Nick Montfort Introduction The genre that has also been labeled "text adventure" and "text game" is stereotypically thought to offer dungeons, dragons, and the ability for readers to choose their own adventure. While there may be dragons here, interactive fiction (abbreviated "IF") also offers utopias, revenge plays, horrors, parables, intrigues, and codework, and pieces in this form resound with and rework Gilgamesh, Shakespeare, and Eliot as well as Tolkien. The reader types in phrases to participate in a dialogue with the system, commanding a character with writing. Beneath this surface conversation, and determining what the computer narrates, there is the machinery of a simulated world, capable of drawing the reader into imagining new perspectives and understanding strange systems. Interactive fiction works can be challenging for literary readers, even those interested in other sorts of electronic literature, because of the text-based interface and because of the way in which these works require detailed exploration, mapping, and solution. Works in this form are often less visually rewarding, and the rewards they do offer are only attained with time and effort. But text-based interactive fiction has provided some of the most the intricate and compelling literary simulations yet developed. Understanding how interactive fiction works, and how it has developed over the past three decades, is an essential part of the puzzle of literary computing. Characteristics of interactive fiction Formally, a work of interactive fiction (often called a "game," even if it does not exhibit the typical qualities of a game) is an interactive computer program.
