A method of developing a vulnerability map of a commercial aircraft is presented using MSC/DYTRAN and MSC/NASTRAN. The intent of the map is to establish the vulnerability of every point in the cargo hold where a bomb can explode. One might interpret each point in the cargo bay as having four dimensions. Three are spatial coordinates and the fourth is the maximum size of the bomb the structure c...

M ANY hematologic studies have been made on the survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hut since few have dealt with the children irradiated in utero,14 we have investigated the general hematologic findings in these children. A group of children exposed to the Hiroshima A-Bomb while in utero and a nonexposed group have been examined yearly at the Atomic Bomb Casualty C...

The authors report a unique case in which an angiosarcoma arose from skeletal haemangiomatosis in a 72 year old man. This patient had a history of atomic bomb irradiation more than 50 years ago. Radiographically, the patient had multiple sclerotic foci of benign haemangiomas in the pelvis, the sacrum, and the left femur. The patient developed a high grade angiosarcoma in the left pubic bone. It...

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to some points raised by A. Doury in relation to our own study. We do not intend to discuss how realistic our release hypotheses are. They were obviously designed to relate to the French underground testing of nuclear bombs, a practice fortunately halted some time ago that has very little chance of being revived again. In that sense the present debate is...

ABSTRACT Direct atmospheric 14 CO 2 measurements began in New Zealand 1954, initially to improve C as a dating tool, but quickly evolving into method for understanding the carbon cycle. These early immediately demonstrated existence of an “Atom Bomb Effect,” well “Industrial Effect.” two gigantic tracer experiments have been utilized via over years produce wealth knowledge multiple research fie...

High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. This paper discusses aspects...

Numerous similar expressions can be found in the German media since the end of December. And indeed, in contrast to the young Afghan refugee who attacked passengers with an axe on a train on 18 July in Würzburg or the Syrian who lit a backpack bomb on 24 July in Ansbach, Anis Amri was not unknown to police, justice, and secret services. Regional Criminal Investigation Offices, regional Offices ...

This paper argues that the current stock of anti-personnel cluster bombs are temporally indiscriminate, and, therefore, unjust weapons. The paper introduces and explains the idea of temporal indiscriminateness. It argues that to honor non-combatant immunity-in addition to not targeting civilians-one must adequately target combatants. Due to their high dud rate, cluster submunitions fail to targ...

Data in 144 successfully weaned Hyla rabbit kits consisting of 70 Hyla purebred and 74 crossbred Hyla rabbits were evaluated for postweaning growth performance at different ages (8, 10 and 12 weeks). Breed and sex effect differ significantly (P<0.05) at different ages studied. Crossbred male Hyla rabbits had the highest weight of 1314.57 g and 1771.52 g at 8 and 10 weeks, while the highest valu...

In this paper, we investigate how many containers would need to be screened in order to deter attackers from attempting to smuggle weapons into a defending country in container freight. We hypothesize that with a sufficiently high probability of being detected, attackers might be deterred from smuggling attempts. Thus, our goal is to identify the optimal proportion of containers to inspect in o...
