Worldwide Ground Target State Propagation

An assessment was made of the possibility of using the principles of lean production in the occupational pathology service, which made it possible to identify solutions and develop a step-by-step plan for implementing the necessary actions for the transition to the target state.

Target States

This chapter argues that the philosophical debate around humanitarian intervention would be improved if it were less ‘ideal-theoretic’. It identifies two ideal-theoretic assumptions. One, in target states where humanitarian intervention is being considered, there are two distinct and easily identified groups: ‘bad guys’ committing serious human rights abuses, and innocent civilians against whom the abuses are being committed. Two, external to the target state in question, there are suitably qualified ‘good guys’—prospective interveners who possess both the requisite military power and moral integrity. If the assumptions hold, the prospects for successful humanitarian intervention are much greater. As a contrast, some possible non-ideal assumptions are that (i) there are many bad guys in a civil war, and (ii) the good guy intervener is itself supporting some of the bad guys. If these non-ideal assumptions hold, prospects for successful humanitarian intervention are small.

AbstractThe Internet-of-Things (IoT) triggers data protection questions and new types of cyber risks. Cyber risk regulations for the IoT, however, are still in their infancy. This is concerning, because companies integrating IoT devices and services need to perform a self-assessment of its IoT cyber security posture. At present, there are no self-assessment methods for quantifying IoT cyber risk posture. It is considered that IoT represent a complex system with too many uncontrollable risk states for quantitative risk assessment. To enable quantitative risk assessment of uncontrollable risk states in complex and coupled IoT systems, a new epistemological equation is designed and tested though comparative and empirical analysis. The comparative analysis is conducted on national digital strategies, followed by an empirical analysis of cyber risk assessment approaches. The results from the analysis present the current and a target state for IoT systems, followed by a transformation roadmap, describing how IoT systems can achieve the target state with a new epistemological analysis model. The new epistemological analysis approach enables the assessment of uncontrollable risk states in complex IoT systems—which begin to resemble artificial intelligence—and can be used for a quantitative self-assessment of IoT cyber risk posture.

State Propagation

We review the statistics of speckle in the Anderson localization transition for classical waves. Probability distributions of local and integrated transmission and of the evolution of the structure of the speckle pattern are related to their corresponding correlation functions. Steady state and pulse transport can be described in terms of modes whose speckle patterns are obtained by decomposing the frequency variation of the transmitted field. At the same time, transmission can be purposefully manipulated by adjusting the incident field and the eigenchannels of the transmission matrix can be found by analyzing sets of speckle patterns for different inputs. The many aspects of steady state propagation are reflected in diverse, but simply related, parameters so that a single localization parameter encapsulates the character of transport on both sides of the divide separating localized from diffusive waves.
