description: When a computer security attack on an organization occurs, an intrusion is recognized, or some other kind of computer security incident occurs, it is critical for the organization to have a fast and effective means of responding. One method of addressing this need is to establish a formal incident response capability or a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). When an incident occurs, the goal of the CSIRT is to control and minimize any damage, preserve evidence, provide quick and efficient recovery, prevent similar future events, and gain insight into threats against the organization. This handbook describes different organizational models for implementing incident handling capabilities, including each model's advantages and disadvantages and the kinds of incident management services that best fit with it. An earlier SEI publication, the Handbook for Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) (CMU/SEI-2003-HB-002), provided the baselines for establishing incident response capabilities. This new handbook builds on that coverage by enabling organizations to compare and evaluate CSIRT models. Based on this review they can then identify a model for implementation that addresses their needs and requirements.

Sources of transitivity
Creators: name: Muñoz, Daniel
Publisher: name: Cambridge University Press (CUP)
Year: 2022

description:
Why should ‘better than’ be transitive? The leading answer in ethics is that values do not change with context. But this cannot be the entire source of transitivity, I argue, since transitivity can fail even if values never change, so long as they are complex, with multiple dimensions combined non-additively. I conclude by exploring a new hypothesis: that all alleged cases of nontransitive betterness, such as Parfit’s Repugnant Conclusion, can and should be modelled as the result of complexity, not context-relativity.
Optical Kerr Effect in Graphene: Theoretical Analysis of the Optical Heterodyne Detection Technique

description: Graphene is an atomically thin two-dimensional material demonstrating strong optical nonlinearities including harmonics generation, four wave mixing, Kerr and other nonlinear effects. In this paper we theoretically analyze the optical heterodyne detection (OHD) technique of measuring the optical Kerr effect (OKE) in two-dimensional crystals and show how to relate the quantities measured in such experiments with components of the third-order conductivity tensor $σ^{(3)}_{αβγδ}(ω_1,ω_2,ω_3)$ of the two-dimensional crystal. Using results of a recently developed quantum theory of the third-order nonlinear electrodynamic response of graphene we analyze the frequency, charge carrier density, temperature and other dependencies of the OHD-OKE response of this material. We compare our results with a recent OHD-OKE experiment in graphene and find good agreement between the theory and experiment.

Short-term air quality forecasts for the Pacific Northwest and long-range global change predictions for the U.S.
Creators: name: Chen, Jack Chi-Mou
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Air quality -- Northwest, Pacific -- Forecasting

description: This dissertation presents the development and evaluation of a comprehensive numerical air quality modeling system designed to provide daily forecasts in the Pacific Northwest. The system was also applied to predict the impact of global change upon air quality in the future for the US. This system employs the EPA Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model to treat photochemical gas and aerosol formation, transport and deposition. For short-term regional air quality forecasts, CMAQ was coupled with the University of Washington meteorological forecast operations using the MM5 weather model to create a regional system called AIRPACT-3. An important aspect of the development was the use of an automated, dynamic emissions processing system. The detailed evaluation of the system against observational data covering a four month period showed the system performed well. For ozone, it correctly predicted high episodic conditions, but over-predicted lower observed concentrations. For PM2.5, it captured concentration variations between urban and rural regions, and concentrations of nitrate and ammonium PM2.5 components, but under-predicted sulfate PM2.5.; For global change impacts on US regional air quality, the CMAQ model was employed along with MM5 to downscale results from the Parallel Climate Model and the MOZART2 global chemistry model based upon the IPCC A2 'business as usual' scenario. US anthropogenic emissions were projected using the EPA EGAS economic model and biogenic emissions were projected using the MEGAN model with adjusted land use. Evaluation using a decade of ozone measurements showed that the system reproduced episodic conditions (defined as the 98th percentile of daily maximum 8-hr concentration) with a predicted average US concentration of 93 ppbv and a measured concentration of 90 ppbv. Predictions for 2045-2054 indicated poorer air quality for the selected future scenario. The results showed that the future average daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentration will increase 8 ppbv, and larger areas of the US will be impacted at ozone levels greater than 80 ppbv. Additional simulations showed changing future land use and land cover scenarios significantly reduced the magnitude and spatial distributions of future biogenic emissions, which subsequently reduced ozone and secondary organic aerosol levels in the future.
Regard critique sur les conditions d'incarcération des femmes

description: L’objectif principal de cette recherche est d’explorer l’expérience des intervenantes travaillant auprès de femmes en conflit avec la loi ainsi que l’expérience de femmes qui ont déjà été incarcérées pour une période de quatre mois ou plus au Canada. Le cadre théorique qui a été utilisé pour analyser cette situation est la perspective de l’auteur Michel Foucault, expliquant que le système carcéral est un lieu de contrôle sur les corps et un lieu de punition. De type qualitatif, l’étude a été réalisée à partir des analyses qui ont été faites à partir des questions d’entrevue auprès de deux intervenantes qui travaillent dans le domaine et de quatre femmes qui ont déjà été incarcérées. Les questions d’entrevue ont permis d’explorer les défis auxquels les femmes ont été confrontées dans le système judiciaire. L’étude de ces obstacles permet de proposer des recommandations, afin d’améliorer les services auprès des femmes en conflit avec la loi.

description: The Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) is a framework for identifying and managing information security risks. It defines a comprehensive evaluation method that allows an organization to identify the information assets that are important to the mission of the organization, the threats to those assets, and the vulnerabilities that may expose those assets to the threats. By putting together the information assets, threats, and vulnerabilities, the organization can begin to understand what information is at risk. With this understanding, the organization can design and implement a protection strategy to reduce the overall risk exposure of its information assets.

description:
We measured a comprehensive suite of pollutants emitted from 58 natural gas-fueled pumpjack engines in Utah’s Uinta Basin. Air–fuel equivalence ratio (the ratio of air taken in by the engine to the amount of air needed for combustion of the fuel) was a strong predictor of emissions. Higher air–fuel equivalence ratios led to lower oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions and higher emissions of organic compounds. For engines with air–fuel equivalence ratios greater than 3 (34% of 58 total engines tested), a median of 57% of the fuel gas passed through the engine uncombusted, and exhaust gas contained a median of only 3 ppm NOX. Lower air–fuel equivalence ratios were associated with less fuel slip, higher NOX, and the formation of more reactive organic compounds, including alkenes and carbonyls. Average NOX emissions measured in this study were only 9% of average emissions from natural gas-fueled pumpjack engines in a regulatory oil and gas emissions inventory. In contrast, volatile organic compound emissions in the study were 15 times higher than in the inventory. We hypothesize that these discrepancies are due to changes in emissions as engines operate at lower loads and as they age in field conditions. In addition to improving emissions inventories and the effectiveness of related regulatory efforts, this work will improve the ability of photochemical models to simulate the atmospheric impacts of oil and gas development.
On the Suitability of Tcl/Tk for SYS

description: The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) was called on recently to examine a system, hereafter called SYS, written entirely in the Tool Control Language/Toolkit (Tcl/Tk) language. In response to some negative comments in the SEI's report, the developers presented a list of systems purported to demonstrate the viability of Tcl/Tk as a development tool. A review of the 67 listed systems found that Tcl/Tk is indeed practical for developing large systems. Small systems written in the language often follow a paradigm of "classic Tcl/Tk windows." SYS embraced this approach to the extent of involving hundreds of windows. The review showed that no other large system written in Tcl/Tk has anywhere near as many such windows. User interviews suggested that the number of different windows was indeed a problem. SYS should consider an alternative design, perhaps a Web-based approach. Some design criteria are described at the end of the report.
Sum rules across the unpolarized Compton processes involving generalized polarizabilities and moments of nucleon structure functions

description: We derive two new sum rules for the unpolarized doubly virtual Compton scattering process on a nucleon, which establish novel low-$Q^2$ relations involving the nucleon's generalized polarizabilities and moments of the nucleon's unpolarized structure functions $F_1(x,Q^2)$ and $F_2(x,Q^2)$. These relations facilitate the determination of some structure constants which can only be accessed in off-forward doubly virtual Compton scattering, not experimentally accessible at present. We perform an empirical determination for the proton and compare our results with a next-to-leading-order chiral perturbation theory prediction. We also show how these relations may be useful for a model-independent determination of the low-$Q^2$ subtraction function in the Compton amplitude, which enters the two-photon-exchange contribution to the Lamb shift of (muonic) hydrogen. An explicit calculation of the $Δ(1232)$-resonance contribution to the muonic-hydrogen $2P-2S$ Lamb shift yields $-1 \pm 1$ $\mathsfμ$eV, confirming the previously conjectured smallness of this effect.

description: Effects of strong phonon anharmonicity of a type-I clathrate Ba$_{\rm 8}$Ga$_{\rm 16}$Sn$_{\rm 30}$ induced by quadruple-well potential of guest atoms were investigated. Phonon transport including coherent interbranch component was analyzed using a first-principles-based self-consistent phonon (SCP) theory that gives temperature-dependent harmonic interatomic force constants and by solving off-diagonal components of group velocity operator. Experimentally observed thermal conductivities have been reasonably reproduced by considering both lattice and electron contributions. Through the analysis with the SCP theory, we found that hardening of guest modes leads to an increase in lattice thermal conductivity at frequencies below those of framework-dominant flat modes (< 40 cm$^{\rm -1}$), which finally results in the slow decay and slight increase in the total lattice thermal conductivity with increasing temperature. Detailed analyses revealed that the increase in lattice thermal conductivity at low frequency is attributed to (a) the increase in group velocities of phonon modes located at frequencies below that of the flat guest modes and (b) abnormal increase in lifetimes of phonon modes located between frequencies of the flat guest and framework modes with increasing temperature. From an engineering point of view, this effect may lead to an intriguing phenomenon, a larger decrease in thermal conductivity due to nanostructuring at higher temperatures.
The 2002 Euro Changeover: the Effects of a New Currency on Crime

description: We investigate a causal relationship between the euro changeover and the change in homicide rates in developing economies using a two-stage least squares strategy and cross-sectional data, instrumenting on imports of small arms and light weapons using the strength of the ties to the original 12 euro-currency countries. Our results are consistent as we find that countries with stronger euro-12 ties saw a change in their firearms imports because of the introduction of the euro in 2002, which in turn caused a significant change in their overall homicide rates in the subsequent years.
The effect of polarization on the propagation distance of leaky guided modes

Year: 2018

description: We show that transverse-magnetic (TM) leaky modes can propagate further than transverse electric (TE) modes in real-index dielectric waveguides. We compute the density of states and find that while the TE spectrum contains only overlapping resonances, the TM spectrum typically contains several isolated peaks. By transforming the TM equation into a Schrödinger-type equation, we show that these isolated peaks arise due to $δ$-function barriers at the core-cladding interface. Our theory is useful for a range of applications, including filtering TM modes from initially unpolarized light and transferring information between distant waveguides.

A questionnaire, a codebook, and a data set from two events, an international figure skating event and a provincial gymnastics event, are provided to assist in making a decision. The data set includes the spectators’ identification with and motives for attending the events, tourism activities they participated in, as well as some socio-demographic variables. Analyses of the data and interpretation of the results should assist the sport tourism officer in providing accurate recommendations to policy makers. Theories and frameworks that underpin this case include: public policy schemas; identity, motives and tourism behavior of event attendees; sport participation outcomes from sport events; leveraging; and event portfolios.
Quantum computers can search rapidly by using almost any selective transformations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The search problem is to find a state satisfying certain properties out of a given set. Grover's algorithm drives a quantum computer from a prepared initial state to the target state and solves the problem quadratically faster than a classical computer. The algorithm uses selective transformations to distinguish the initial state and target state from other states. It does not succeed unless the selective transformations are very close to phase-inversions. Here we show a way to go beyond this limitation. An important application lies in quantum error-correction, where the errors can cause the selective transformations to deviate from phase-inversions. The algorithms presented here are robust to errors as long as the errors are reproducible and reversible. This particular class of systematic errors arise often from imperfections in apparatus setup. Hence our algorithms offer a significant flexibility in the physical implementation of quantum search.

L’expérience des mères franco-ontariennes ayant connu un signalement en protection en lien avec l’incidence de la violence conjugale
Creators: name: Affricot, May-Lissa
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: La violence conjugale existe depuis la nuit des temps. Même si elle est aujourd’hui judiciarisée, elle continue de faire des ravages dans le monde et surtout au Canada. Même si les hommes peuvent en être victimes, les femmes en font plus souvent les frais. Et lorsqu’elles ont des enfants, les femmes victimes de violence doivent souvent composer avec les services de protection à l’enfance. Lorsque les services de protection interviennent auprès de famille en contexte de violence conjugale, les besoins des mères ne sont pas toujours pris en compte. Le bien-être des enfants demeure la priorité et les mères sont souvent scindées dans leur rôle parental. À partir d’une analyse féministe structurelle et intersectionnelle, le présent mémoire porte un regard critique sur l’expérience de femmes franco-ontariennes ayant connu un signalement en protection de la jeunesse en lien avec l’incidence de la violence conjugale. Mots-clés : Mères franco-ontariennes, protection de la jeunesse ; violence conjugale ; théories féministes structurelles ; intersectionnalité ; contrôle coercitif. Domestic violence has existed since the dawn of time. Even though it is now under the jurisdiction of the courts, domestic violence continues to wreak havoc around the world and especially in Canada. Although men can be the victims, women more often pay the price. And when having children, abused women often have to deal with child protection services. When protection services intervene with families in the context of domestic violence, the needs of mothers are not always taken into account. The well-being of children remains the priority and mothers are often scrutinized in their parenting role. Based on a structural feminist analysis, this paper takes a critical look at the experience of Francophone women who have experienced a protection report related to the incidence of domestic violence. Keywords: French speaking mothers, youth protection; domestic violence; feminist structural theories; intersectionality; coercive control

description: Las relaciones entre el medio rural y urbano son complejas y poco equilibradas. Por ejemplo, el primero aporta bienes y servicios al segundo, pero este no compensa las contribuciones de la naturaleza (NCP). Gran parte del territorio colombiano está conformado por amplias extensas cadenas montañosas y allí entre los 2.500 a 3.600 msnm- están los páramos, considerados ecosistemas importantes para el agua y la vida. La comprensión y solución de los conflictos socio-ambientales implican revisar y ajustar la Normatividad Jurídica Colombiana, para formular políticas públicas que, a distintas escalas territoriales, sugieran soluciones equilibradas e incluyentes. En este caso, se trata de las relaciones entre el medio rural que acoge a los ecosistemas de páramo y los centros urbanos en el departamento de Boyacá. Esto constituye el marco para la formulación de la propuesta de un contrato socio-ambiental, en un ejercicio necesario que busca influenciar los mecanismos y criterios para la formulación de políticas públicas a nivel nacional y departamental, pues estos ecosistemas, al ser reguladores del ciclo hídrico, son fundamentales para la permanencia de la vida humana y no humana, además el agua es un recurso indispensable para el desarrollo y bienestar humano, el crecimiento económico y el equilibrio ecosistémico.
description: The relationships between rural and urban environments are complex and unbalanced. For example, the former provides goods and services to the latter, but the latter does not compensate for the contributions of nature (NCP). Much of the Colombian territory is made up of extensive mountain ranges and there, between 2,500 and 3,600 meters above sea level, are the paramos, considered important ecosystems for water and life. The understanding and solution of socio-environmental conflicts involves reviewing and adjusting Colombian Legal Regulations, to formulate public policies that, at different territorial scales, suggest balanced and inclusive solutions. In this case, it is about the relationships between the rural environment that hosts the paramo ecosystems and the urban centers in the department of Boyacá. This constitutes the framework for the formulation of the proposal for a socioenvironmental contract, in a necessary exercise that seeks to influence the mechanisms and criteria for the formulation of public policies at the national and departmental level, since these ecosystems, being regulators of the water cycle , are fundamental for the permanence of human and non-human life, and water is an indispensable resource for human development and well-being, economic growth and ecosystem balance.
On pp wave limit for $ η$ deformed superstrings

description: In this paper, based on the notion of plane wave string/gauge theory duality, we explore the pp wave limit associated with the bosonic sector of $ η$ deformed superstrings propagating in $ (AdS_5 \times S^{5})_η $. Our analysis reveals that in the presence of NS-NS and RR fluxes, the pp wave limit associated to full ABF background satisfies type IIB equations in its standard form. However, the beta functions as well as the string Hamiltonian start receiving non trivial curvature corrections as one starts probing beyond pp wave limit which thereby takes solutions away from the standard type IIB form. Furthermore, using \textit{uniform} gauge, we also explore the BMN dynamics associated with short strings and compute the corresponding Hamiltonian density. Finally, we explore the Penrose limit associated with the HT background and compute the corresponding stringy spectrum for the bosonic sector.

description: This protocol summarizes plans to conduct two systematic reviews which will inform additional primary research targeted toward improving the health of overweight and obese women during pregnancy. The planned reviews will seek to identify and synthesize fundamental information regarding (1) predictors of adverse pregnancy events in obese women, and (2) currently recommended care plans for obese pregnant women. These reviews represent first steps in a grander research program which has been planned to improve the quality and effectiveness of maternity care in Canada and elsewhere.

description: A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very good space and time resolution. The muon detector is shielded by placing it under another detector able to absorb and measure the electromagnetic component of the showers such as a water-Cherenkov detector, commonly used in air shower arrays. The combination of the two detectors in a single, compact detector unit provides a unique measurement that opens rich possibilities in the study of air showers.

description: The importance of the Internet to the success of sport organizations will continue
description: to increase, making it essential to develop a better understanding of online sport
description: consumption behavior. In order to understand online sport consumption behavior, theory
description: based and comprehensive models need to be developed. To date, however, limited

description: Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to develop a sport web
description: acceptance model (SWAM) in which sport fans’ decision-making processes regarding the
description: use of sport-related websites are conceptualized. The proposed research model
description: incorporated existing models of (a) the theory of reasoned action (TRA: Fishbein &
description: Ajzen, 1975), (b) the technology acceptance model (TAM: Davis, 1989), and (c) a
description: conceptual framework that examined theoretical relationships among involvement,
description: commitment, and loyalty (Iwasaki & Havitz, 2004). The SWAM includes eight
description: constructs in order to predict sport fans’ use of sport-related websites: (a) sport
description: involvement, (b) psychological commitment to a team, (c) perceived ease of use, (d)
description: perceived usefulness, (e) perceived enjoyment, (f) perceived trustworthiness, (g) intention
description: to use a sport-related website, and (h) actual web usage behaviors.
description: Data analysis was conducted with 337 subjects who were enrolled at a large
description: university in the Northwestern region. The psychometric properties of the SWAM were
description: examined by conducting structural equation analyses. The measurement and the
description: structural model fits were found to be acceptable. Hypothesis tests revealed that six of
description: ten hypotheses were supported. A competing model was provided in order to examine
description: the effects of sport fans’ beliefs as mediating variables between sport-specific constructs,
description: and behavioral intention and use. The analyses of the competing model revealed that
description: perceived ease of use, usefulness, enjoyment, and trustworthiness can become potential
description: mediating variables. In addition, moderating effects of hedonic and utilitarian groups and
description: gender on the SWAM were examined. The SWAM is invariant across gender but

On System Scalability

description: A significant number of systems fail in initial use, or even during integration, because factors that have a negligible effect when systems are lightly used have a harmful effect as the level of use increases. This scalability problem (i.e., the inability of a system to accommodate an increased workload) is not new. However, the increasing size (more lines of code, greater number of users, widened scope of demands, and the like) of U.S. Department of Defense systems makes the problem more critical today than in the past. This technical note presents an analysis of what is meant by scalability and a description of factors to be considered when assessing the potential for system scalability. The factors to be considered are captured in a scalability audit, a process intended to expose issues that, if overlooked, can lead to scalability problems.

description: Remanufacturing is a form of recycling where used durable goods are refurbished to a condition comparable to new products. With reduced energy and resource consumption, remanufactured goods are produced at a fraction of the original cost and with lower emissions of pollution. This paper presents a theoretical model of remanufacturing where a duopoly of original manufacturers produce a component of a final good. The component needing to be replaced creates an aftermarket. An environmental regulation assessing a minimum level of remanufacturability is also introduced. The main results indicate that a social planner could use collusion of the firms on the level of remanufacturability as a substitute for environmental regulation. However, if an environmental regulation is to be implemented, collusion should be repressed since competition supports the public intervention better. One of the results also coincides with the Porter Hypothesis. / Le remanufacturing est une forme de recyclage où des biens durables usagés sont remis à neuf. Tout en consommant moins d’énergie et de ressource, les biens remanufacturés sont produits à une fraction du coût original et émettent moins de pollution. Ce papier présente un model théorique de remanufacturing où un duopole de manufacturiers originaux produisent un composant d’un bien final. Ce composant devant être changé, un marché secondaire est créé. Une réglementation environnementale déterminant un niveau minimal de remanufacturabilité est introduite au modèle. Les principaux résultats indiquent qu’un planificateur social pourrait substituer la réglementation environnementale par la collusion des firmes sur le niveau de remanufacturabilité. Cependant, lorsqu’une réglementation environnementale est prévue, la collusion devrait être réprimée puisque la compétition s’accorde mieux avec une intervention publique. Un des résultats coïncide aussi avec l’hypothèse de Porter.
