When people talk about hacking and social networks, they're not referring to the common definition of hacking, which is using malicious code or backdoors in computer networks to damage systems or steal proprietary information. Hacking into social networks requires very little technical skill. It's much more of a psychological game using information on personal profiles to win a complete stranger's trust. Facebook offer privacy settings for their users but they don t the give the users a simple...

Basic laws of thermodynamics and mechanics are used to analyse an air gun. Such devices are often employed in outdoor physics demonstrations to launch potatoes using compressed gas that is here assumed to expand reversibly and adiabatically. Reasonable agreement is found with reported muzzle speeds for such homebuilt cannons. The treatment is accessible to undergraduate students who have taken calculus-based introductory physics.

This paper investigates the applicability of high order statistical autoregressive (AR-HOS) modeling method in analyzing biomedical signals. The autoregressive (AR) method using linear prediction and AR-HOS method using cumulants are applied on normal and pathological heart sound signals. It is found that the AR-HOS modeling a signal produce more accurate and higher resolution spectrum than AR modeling.

The air attack that killed al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- the successful synchronization of actionable intelligence and tactical military operations that eliminated a key terrorist network node -- was a good thing.

The demand of the American public for information and results notwithstanding, the emphasis on outcome is not the right...

Although they worked together nominally, the central Al Qaeda network, as led by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terrorist group in Iraq held vastly different conceptions of jihad. The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq minimized the magnitude of that ideological clash, enabling Zarqawi's limited cooperation with Al Qaeda in the Iraqi arena. Although they used each other for tactical support, publicity, and recruiting purposes, their doctrinal...

Since 2001 over $500B has been infused into defense programs and operations through supplemental appropriations, separate from funds provided through DOD's comprehensive...

Findings will indicate that the violence within this culturally diverse and historically multi-ethnic region of Europe was not driven by ancient ethnic sentiments, nor was it a 'civil war' between 'traditional tribal rivals' --fighting for 'hundreds of years'--; but was rather the direct result of a within-group (intra-state/inter-cultural) political struggle. The study will demonstrate that the...

The paper addresses and accomplishes three primary goals. First, it defines act of command and shows its relevance to modern day warfare. Second, the paper shows that Marshal Davout was the best of Napoleon's generals and had an art of command that rivaled the Emperor himself. Finally, the paper demonstrates how Davout...
