The explore and share subjects including secession, emotions, Confederate widows wives, extra-legal violence, formal informal politics. Though not all reviewed common themes, other subjects—maroons in Great Dismal Swamp, a regimental history, ...

Military commanders face challenges that their counterparts in the business world would confront only in the rarest of circumstances. Commanders must make decisions that place their human and equipment resources in harm’s way. When a commander or senior civilian military decision-maker must commit to an action that endangers the lives of his or her troops, their decisions and the information or...

of OPERATIONAL FIRES ON THE URBAN BATTLEFIELD: AN UNDERDEVELOPED CONCEPT The US military will continue to be confronted in asymmetric warfare by adversaries who establish their power centers in urban terrain. Recent history has demonstrated that US forces can defeat adversaries on the conventional battlefield through overwhelming tactical and operational fires. Specifically, the employment of o...

The classes of languages which are boolean combinations of languages of the form Aa1A a2A ∗ . . . Aa`A , where a1, . . . , a` ∈ A, ` ≤ k , for a fixed k ≥ 0, form a natural hierarchy within piecewise testable languages and have been studied in papers by Simon, Blanchet-Sadri, Volkov and others. The main issues were the existence of finite bases of identities for the corresponding pseudovarietie...

Let T Bn denote the submonoid of all upper triangular boolean n×n matrices. It is shown by Volkov and Goldberg [6] that T Bn is nonfinitely based if n > 3, but the cases when n = 2, 3 remained open. In this paper, it is shown that the monoid T B2 is finitely based and a finite identity basis for the monoid T B2 is given. Moreover, it is shown that T B3 is inherently nonfinitely based. Hence T B...

We prove that vertex-reinforced random walk on Z with weight of order kα, for α ∈ [0, 1/2), is recurrent. This confirms a conjecture of Volkov for α < 1/2. The conjecture for α ∈ [1/2, 1) remains open.

This publication consists of a series of reports written mostly by Air Vice-Marshal Sir C. S. Symonds and Wing-Commander D. J. Williams, separately or together, with a few by Squadron-Leader D. D. Reid, together with critical evaluations by Professor A. Bradford Hill and Wing-Commander Williams on the reliability of psychiatric opinion. The wealth of material presented is enormous; the painstak...
