A new model is presented for evaluating the performance of a Business Continuity Management System according to BS 25999. Performance is based fundamentally on the system’s Business Continuity Plans and Disaster Recovery Plans. Typically, the performance of these plans is inadequately evaluated using a number of specific exercises at various intervals and, in many cases, with a variety of targe...

Societal security, continuity scenarios and methodological cycling approach explained in this article. Namely societal security organizational challenges ask implementation of international standards BS 25999-2 & global ISO 22300 which is a family of standards for business continuity management system. Efficient global organization system is distinguished of high entity ́s complexity, connectivi...

BS5750 is the British Standard on "Quality Systems". Its equivalent in European Standards is EN29000 and in the International Standards Organisation ISO9000. This paper points out that these standards lay down formalised procedures and require documentation but do not ipso facto lead to quality assurance. The author points to the Japanese post-war industrial success as being an example of Total...

Mit der massiven Verbreitung der Informationstechnologie in den Unternehmen und in privaten Haushalten Mitte der 90-er Jahre, begann alsbald die Diskussion um deren Absicherung mittels IT/Inf.-Sicherheitskonzepten. Inzwischen haben sich im Bereich der Unternehmensabsicherung (Enterprise Security) weltweit Management Systeme, gemäß dem Deming Zyklus – gegenüber den anfänglich verwendeten Policie...

Use of Bacillus sphaericus Neide (Bs) as potential biolarvicide in developing countries is limited due to development of resistance by target mosquitoes. Efforts are taken to look for appropriate formulations or combination of Bs to prevent or delay resistance problem. Here, we report the efficacy of a formulated Bs product to kill Bs resistant Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae. The laboratory ...

Bs − Bs mixing is highly important in testing the Standard Model (SM) and constrains strongly its extensions by bounding the unitarity triangle. Since it is a flavor changing neutral process it occurs through loops so that the corresponding mixing amplitude is a sensitive measure of |Vts| and |Vtb|, as the major SM loop contribution comes from t-quark. The mixing of weak interaction eigenstates...

A global fit to quark flavour-physics data disfavours the Standard Model with 3.6 standard deviations and points towards new CP-violating physics in meson-antimeson mixing amplitudes. Tevatron data call for a new Bs−Bs mixing phase and new physics in Bd−Bd mixing alleviates the tension on the unitarity triangle driven by B(B → τν). In supersymmetric GUT models the large atmospheric neutrino mix...
