Total Equitable Indemnity under Comparative Negligence: Anomaly or Necessity?

What Are We Comparing in Comparative Negligence?

A Comparative Evaluation of Anomaly Detectors under Portscan Attacks

Since the seminal 1998/1999 DARPA evaluations of intrusion detection systems, network attacks have evolved considerably. In particular, after the CodeRed worm of 2001, the volume and sophistication of self-propagating malicious code threats have been increasing at an alarming rate. Many anomaly detectors have been proposed, especially in the past few years, to combat these new and emerging netw...

Monetary Valuation of PM10-Related Health Risks in Beijing China: The Necessity for PM10 Pollution Indemnity

Severe health risks caused by PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm) pollution have induced inevitable economic losses and have rendered pressure on the sustainable development of society as a whole. In China, with the "Polluters Pay Principle", polluters should pay for the pollution they have caused, but how much they should pay remains an intractable problem for policy ...

Epidemic Outbreaks in Networks with Equitable or Almost-Equitable Partitions

We study the diffusion of epidemics on networks that are partitioned into local communities. The gross structure of hierarchical networks of this kind can be described by a quotient graph. The rationale of this approach is that individuals infect those belonging to the same community with higher probability than individuals in other communities. In community models the nodal infection probabili...

Lwr Recycle: Necessity or Impediment?

The nuclear fuel cycle can be truly closed by supp lementing today’s thermal reactors with fast reactors, which can use as fuel the heavy, fissionable isotopes that accumulate in thermal-reactor fuel. In a fully closed cycle, the waste for disposal consists only of fission products with trace amounts of actinides. Eliminating the transuranics reduces the heat load in the repository, increasing ...
