Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacterial Methods of Warfare (Geneva Protocol) was penned and signed on 17 June, 1925. This was a treaty signed by the Allies at the close of World War I, which was actually just an extension and re-verification of the Treaty of Versailles (signed in 1919) prior to WWI. The Geneva Protocol furthered the Treaty of Versailles in that it expanded the weapons ban to include a ban on bacteriological warfare. In 1969, this protocol was further expanded to include CS gas agents and harassing agents (probably due to their use by the U.S. during the Vietnam War). (State Dept.org) While this Protocol was a good step forward, it does not stop the use of chemical/biological weapons by state actors that are non-signatory (e.g. Iraq's use of nerve agents during the Iran-Iraq War in the 80's).

has a working, single approach to respond to and care for the public in the unlikely event of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and "other" emergencies. This Directive deals directly with utilizing a national approach to domestic incident management. The President directly established that the Secretary of Homeland Security be the chief Federal official regarding national incident management. Reading through PD-5, it is my opinion that the Directive focuses primarily on terrorist activities/attacks, however, this could easily apply to domestic nuclear incidents such as reactor meltdowns, Broken Arrows, lost weapons or all-out nuclear attacks on the

    My first research experience started when I participated in bone scaffold designing project at the Cooper Union in Spring 2012, under the supervision of professor David Wootton at Cooper Union Department of Mechanical Engineering. The purpose of this study was to design and manufacture bone scaffold for orthopedic trauma, especially for segmented bone fracture. I worked with a senior mechanical engineering student who had been conducting the research as his senior capstone project. The first task was to test manufacturing efficiency of two different types of polycaprolactone (PCL) with different average molecular weight. I concluded that the low molecular weight PCL is more convenient for mold-casting fabrication, due to low viscosity, while the high molecular weight PCL has an advantage of being mechanically stronger than the brittle…

    The design idea we had was modified several times. Initially the fingers that were constructed for the hand seemed to work and look fine in our Solidworks assembly. We did not want the fingers to be too large as the girl were were designing the hand for is only seven years old. However, after printing them, we quickly realized that they were far too small to be able to exert the force to grasp a water bottle. Furthermore, because they were so small, it was difficult for the 3D printer to print out the finger because the walls were so thin.…

    1.2.1 Studying Server Consolidation Server consolidation is an approach to the capable usage of computer server sources in order to reduce the total number of servers or server location that an organization needs. The practice was developed in reply to the problem of “server sprawl,” a position in which several under-utilized servers take up more space and consume more sources than can be acceptable by their workload.

    The general model introduced in Fig.4.10 is commonly used to design stable high-order modulators. If a chain of integrators is used to form the loop filter, two main modulators typologies exist [1, 5, 8]: a cascade of M delaying integrators is used to form the filter, where the feedback and the input signals are being fed to each integrator input with different weight factors a_i and b_i (Fig.4.11). The transfer function of the signal filter, L_0, is: while the feedback filter L_1 can be derived as: where a_i and b_i>0. The NTF results: Note that the NTF zeros must lie at 푧=1 (i.e. DC). The weight factors a_i can be used to introduce finite non-zero poles into the NTF and to determine the zeros of L_1 (z).…

    Until the end of the Cold War, the environmental and public health costs of U.S. nuclear weapons generally received little consideration and finance. This was partly because they were lacking organized efforts proceeding to address all of the issues. But it was also because few government officials felt comfortable raising concerns about real and possible hazards posed by the manufacture and testing of nuclear arms at a time when those weapons were still…

    I. Introduction From World War I to shortly after World War II, the Western world created numerous significant treaties and agreements including the Treaty of Versailles, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, otherwise known as the Geneva Protocol. However, the Geneva Protocol is one of the most comprehensive and arguably successful agreements to come from the time period despite being short in comparison to similar documents. The Geneva Protocol aimed to prohibit the use of “of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials or devices [in warfare ... as well as] bacteriological…
