Response to Clandestine Laboratories, Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction: StreetSmart(R) Chemistry

Response to Clandestine Laboratories, Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction: StreetSmart(R) Chemistry

Response to Hazardous Materials incidents has changed over the years. If one was a First Responder 20-30 years ago, one had to be concerned about transportation accidents involving hazardous cargoes, fires and hazardous materials and wastes at fixed sites. While many of us were trained in the basics of Weapons of Mass Destruction, it was generally theory and few expected to have to actually respond to an incident involving these materials. Responses to Clandestine Laboratories were not as common and terrorism was something that happened elsewhere and not in the United States. Today the world is a very different place: -The drug epidemic especially for methamphetamine has virtually overwhelmed the Law Enforcement and Response Community. First Responders, whether Law, Fire or EMS personnel frequently encounter "Meth Labs" even in "nice neighborhoods" or in rural settings. "Harder" drugs and synthetic opioid labs are being run by gangs in many states and television shows and popular music about drug makers, dealers and "kingpins" are common.-Clandestine laboratories related to "terrorist" activities are now common throughout the world and there are numerous examples of "homemade" toxins and explosives being made here in the United States. It is possible to buy books discussing the "kitchen counter" preparation of explosives, toxic agents and chemical warfare agents openly on the internet. Anyone with an internet account can access step-by-step instructions and watch videos showing exactly how to construct bombs, etc. to attack unsuspecting populations. Organizations such as al Qaeda or the "Islamic State" are actively pushing to give this type information to the widest possible audience.-Although there have been relatively few successful chemical or biological attacks in the US, the use of chemicals in association with improvised explosive devices is common elsewhere in the world and there have been a number of relatively unsuccessful attempts here ranging from improvised explosive devices found attached to chemical canisters to explosive devices planted on trucks and railway cars. Few people in the Emergency Planning Community believe that this unfortunate trend will not strike here soon.This book is intended to prepare the Emergency Response Community to respond safely to these new threats. We all hope that the next "call" won't be to respond to one of the problems discussed in this book. Preparing to make that Response is what this book is about.

Digital Communication

Digital Communication

John R. Barry; Edward A. Lee; David G. Messerschmitt

Springer
2003
sidottu
This book concerns digital communication. Specifically, we treat the transport of bit streams from one geographical location to another over various physical media, such as wire pairs, coaxial cable, optical fiber, and radio. We also treat multiple-access channels, where there are potentially multiple transmitters and receivers sharing a common medium. Ten years have elapsed since the Second Edition, and there have been remarkable advances in wireless communication, including cellular telephony and wireless local-area networks. This Third Edition expands treatment of communication theories underlying wireless, and especially advanced techniques involving multiple antennas, which tum the traditional single-input single-output channel into a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel. This is more than a trivial advance, as it stimulates many advanced techniques such as adaptive antennas and coding techniques that take advantage of space as well as time. This is reflected in the addition of two new chapters, one on the theory of MIMO channels, and the other on diversity techniques for mitigating fading. The field of error-control coding has similarly undergone tremendous changes in the past decade, brought on by the invention of turbo codes in 1993 and the subsequent rediscovery of Gallager's low-density parity-check codes. Our treatment of error-control coding has been rewritten to reflect the current state of the art. Other materials have been reorganized and reworked, and three chapters from the previous edition have been moved to the book's Web site to make room.

Wireless Infrared Communications

Wireless Infrared Communications

Springer

The demand for wireless access to network services is growing in virtually all communications and computing applications. Once accustomed to unteathered opera­ tion, users resent being tied to a desk or a fixed location, but will endure it when there is some substantial benefit, such as higher resolution or bandwidth. Recent technolog­ ical advances, however, such as the scaling of VLSI, the development of low-power circuit design techniques and architectures, increasing battery energy capacity, and advanced displays, are rapidly improving the capabilities of wireless devices. Many of the technological advances contributing to this revolution pertain to the wireless medium itself. There are two viable media: radio and optical. In radio, spread-spectrum techniques allow different users and services to coexist in the same bandwidth, and new microwave frequencies with plentiful bandwidth become viable as the speed of the supporting low-cost electronics increases. Radio has the advantage of being available ubiquitously indoors and outdoors, with the possibility of a seam­ less system infrastructure that allows users to move between the two. There are unan­ swered (but likely to be benign) biological effects of microwave radiation at higher power densities. Optical communications is enhanced by advances in photonic devices, such as semiconductor lasers and detectors. Optical is primarily an indoor technology - where it need not compete with sunlight - and offers advantages such as the immediate availability of a broad bandwidth without the need for regulatory approval.

Recent research has demonstrated a loss of verbalization, or grasp of the Christian language, in the emerging generations of Western Christianity. As contemporary culture rejects Christian identity more and more, subsequent generations are losing the ability to proclaim their faith well. This is particularly troubling for those on the theological campus seeking to train and disciple today's emerging adults as the next generation of ministers. Emerging Voices attempts to identify factors behind this phenomenon and to map out a better way forward, particularly for the theological campus. As contemporary issues such as the elimination of faith from public discourse and the ubiquitous influence of technology shape students in the years before college, what can be done to reclaim the Christian language for students tasked with preaching the gospel? This project combines a deep dive into some of the leading research regarding religion and spirituality in youth and emerging adulthood, alongside of a focused study group. In uniting these approaches, Emerging Voices attempts to give expression to those who most need to be heard in the coming decades of the Christian church in Western culture.

'A must-read for all the people who loved Oliver Sacks's books. The ending made me cry' -- Temple Grandin"Dear Dr. Sacks . . . You asked me if I could imagine what the world would look like when viewed with two eyes. I told you that I thought I could . . . But, I was wrong."When Susan Barry first wrote to Oliver Sacks, she never expected a response, let alone the deep friendship that blossomed over ten years of letters.Sue, herself a neuroscientist, wrote to share an extraordinary development in her own medical history. Born with problems with her vision, Sue had been told she would never acquire the ability to see in 3D - and yet she did, a development at odds with decades of research. Within days, Oliver replied, "Your letter fills me with amazement and admiration."Sharing an interest in visual perception and a deep love of science, Sue and Oliver began writing back and forth, delving deeper into the mysteries of sight and marvelling at the adaptive capacity of the human body.But in a painful twist of fate, as Sue's vision improved, Oliver's declined, and his characteristic typed letters shifted to handwritten ones. Sue later recognised this to be an early sign of the cancer that ultimately ended his extraordinary life.A funny, fascinating, and intimate glimpse of the great Oliver Sacks, Dear Oliver is also a love letter to scientific inquiry, and a testimony to the power of friendship at any time in life.

To the world, he was Dr. Sacks, the brilliant neurologist behind bestselling books like Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. To professor Susan Barry, he became Dear Oliver--her mentor, friend, and confidant over the course of their unlikely, engrossing ten-year correspondence.It begins with a letter that Sue almost doesn't send. Dear Dr. Sacks . . . You asked me if I could imagine what the world would look like when viewed with two eyes. Sue's unheard-of case history--as a "stereoblind" patient who acquired 3D vision in adulthood--so fascinates Dr. Sacks that he immediately asks to visit her. As "Stereo Sue," she becomes the subject of one of his indelible New Yorker pieces--and, as a fellow neuroscientist, his sounding board for every kind of intellectual inquiry.Their shared passions--from classical music to cuttlefish, brain plasticity to bioluminescent plankton--spark a friendship that buoys both of them through life's crests and falls: as Sue becomes an author in her own right, as she supports her father in his decline, and as Oliver becomes a patient himself--battling cancer that, in a painful twist, robs him of his own vision.Dr. Sacks's letters to Sue offer his devoted readers an unprecedented glimpse of the man himself--from his legendary compassion and insight to his love of the periodic table (which he kept in his wallet). Throughout Dear Oliver, we are reminded that true friends help each other see the world a little differently.

Economic Sanctions in Criminal Justice

Economic Sanctions in Criminal Justice

R. Barry Ruback

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2022
nidottu
Economic sanctions are court-imposed financial obligations aimed at punishing offenders (fines), funding the government (costs/fees, forfeitures), and compensating victims (restitution). These sanctions have been at the forefront of criminal justice reform in the past few years, and major legal and policy developments concerning such sanctions are under way across the country. Economic Sanctions in Criminal Justice provides an in-depth overview on how economic sanctions are currently being used in the United States to address the multiple goals of criminal sentencing. Featuring 15 empirical studies conducted in Pennsylvania by author R. Barry Ruback, the book investigates the societal, legal, and psychological impacts of economic sanctions in sentencing and corrections, including punishment, reintegration into the community, and the treatment of crime victims. The book analyzes judges' and probation officers' decision-making when imposing and monitoring economic sanctions, and it examines how paying these financial obligations relates to offenders' recidivism. These analyses are tied to the issues of poverty and its intersection with race, including the disproportionate burden of sanctions placed on minority groups. Ending with opportunities for future research and alternatives to monetary sanctions, Economic Sanctions in Criminal Justice is a go-to resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of legal psychology, criminal justice, and law advocating for what is fair and effective for victims, offenders, and society.
