The stated aims of the Lecture Notes in Biomathematics allow for work that is unfinished or tentative This volume is offered in that spirit The problem addressed is one of the classics of statistical ecology the estimation of mortality rates from stagefrequency data but in tackling it we found ourselves making use of ideas and techniques very different from those we expected to use and in which we had no previous experience Specifically we drifted towards consideration of some rather specific curve and surface fitting and smoothing techniques We think we have made some progress otherwise why publish but are acutely aware of the conceptual and statistical clumsiness of parts of the work Readers with sufficient expertise to be offended should regard the monograph as a challenge to do better The central theme in this book is a somewhat complex algorithm for mortality estimation detailed at the end of Chapter 4 Because of its complexity the job of implementing the method is intimidating Any reader interested in using the methods may obtain copies of our code as follows Intelligible Structured Code 1 Hutchinson and deHoogs algorithm for fitting smoothing splines by cross validation 2 Cubic covariant areaapproximating splines 3 Cubic interpolating splines 4 Cubic area matching splines 5 Hymans algorithm for monotonic interpolation based on cubic splines Prototype UserHostile Code 6 Positive constrained interpolation 7 Positive constrained area matching 8 The full method from chapter 4 9 The simpler method from chapter 4

Instead of treating art as a unique creation that requires reason and refined taste to appreciate Elizabeth Grosz argues that artespecially architecture music and paintingis born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection She approaches art as a form of erotic expression connecting sensory richness with primal desire and in doing so finds that the meaning of art comes from the intensities and sensations it inspires not just its intention and aestheticBy regarding our most cultured human accomplishments as the result of the excessive nonfunctional forces of sexual attraction and seduction Grosz encourages us to see art as a kind of bodily enhancement or mode of sensation enabling living bodies to experience and transform the universe Art can be understood as a way for bodies to augment themselves and their capacity for perception and affectiona way to grow and evolve through sensation Through this framework which knits together the theories of Charles Darwin Henri Bergson Gilles Deleuze Félix Guattari and Jakob von Uexküll we are able to grasp arts deep animal lineage Grosz argues that art is not tied to the predictable and known but to new futures not contained in the present Its animal affiliations ensure that art is intensely political and charged with the creation of new worlds and new forms of living According to Grosz art is the way in which life experiments with materiality or nature in order to bring about change

What happens to a society that has too many men In this provocative book Valerie Hudson and Andrea den Boer argue that historically high maletofemale ratios often trigger domestic and international violence Most violent crime is committed by young unmarried males who lack stable social bonds Although there is not always a direct causeandeffect relationship these surplus men often play a crucial role in making violence prevalent within society Governments sometimes respond to this problem by enlisting young surplus males in military campaigns and highrisk public works projects Countries with high maletofemale ratios also tend to develop authoritarian political systemsHudson and den Boer suggest that the sex ratios of many Asian countries particularly China and Indiawhich represent almost 40 percent of the worlds populationare being skewed in favor of males on a scale that may be unprecedented in human history Through offspring sex selection often in the form of sexselective abortion and female infanticide these countries are acquiring a disproportionate number of lowstatus young adult males called bare branches by the ChineseHudson and den Boer argue that this surplus male population in Asias largest countries threatens domestic stability and international security The prospects for peace and democracy are dimmed by the growth of bare branches in China and India and they maintain the sex ratios of these countries will have global implications in the twentyfirst century

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Operating System Security Synthesis Lectures sold at 499.01 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Operating systems provide the fundamental mechanisms for securing computer processing Since the 1960s operating systems designers have explored how to build secure operating systems operating systems whose mechanisms protect the system against a motivated adversary Recently the importance of ensuring such security has become a mainstream issue for all operating systems In this book we examine past research that outlines the requirements for a secure operating system and research that implements example systems that aim for such requirements For system designs that aimed to satisfy these requirements we see that the complexity of software systems often results in implementation challenges that we are still exploring to this day However if a system design does not aim for achieving the secure operating system requirements then its security features fail to protect the system in a myriad of ways We also study systems that have been retrofit with secure operating system features after an initial deployment In all cases the conflict between function on one hand and security on the other leads to difficult choices and the potential for unwise compromises From this book we hope that systems designers and implementors will learn the requirements for operating systems that effectively enforce security and will better understand how to manage the balance between function and security Table of Contents Introduction Access Control Fundamentals Multics Security in Ordinary Operating Systems Verifiable Security Goals Security Kernels Securing Commercial Operating Systems Case Study Solaris Trusted Extensions Case Study Building a Secure Operating System for Linux Secure Capability Systems Secure Virtual Machine Systems System Assurance

September 11 2001 distinguished Cold War historian John Lewis Gaddis argues was not the first time a surprise attack shattered American assumptions about national security and reshaped American grand strategy Weve been there before and have responded each time by dramatically expanding our security responsibilitiesThe pattern began in 1814 when the British attacked Washington burning the White House and the Capitol This early violation of homeland security gave rise to a strategy of unilateralism and preemption best articulated by John Quincy Adams aimed at maintaining strength beyond challenge throughout the North American continent It remained in place for over a century Only when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 did the inadequacies of this strategy become evident as a consequence the administration of Franklin D Roosevelt devised a new grand strategy of cooperation with allies on an intercontinental scale to defeat authoritarianism That strategy defined the American approach throughout World War II and the Cold WarThe terrorist attacks of 911 Gaddis writes made it clear that this strategy was now insufficient to ensure American security The Bush administration has therefore devised a new grand strategy whose foundations lie in the nineteenthcentury tradition of unilateralism preemption and hegemony projected this time on a global scale How successful it will be in the face of twentyfirstcentury challenges is the question that confronts us This provocative book informed by the experiences of the past but focused on the present and the future is one of the first attempts by a major scholar of grand strategy and international relations to provide an answer
