Transnational terrorism as a spillover of domestic disputes in other countries

This paper models transnational terrorism as a three‐way strategic interaction involving a government that faces armed opposition at home, which may spill over in the form of acts of terrorism by the state's opponents against the government's external sponsor. The external sponsor also utilises deterrence against potential terrorists, which only lowers terrorism if terrorists are not intrinsically motivated by a deep‐seated sense of humiliation. The model highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation. A rise in the external power's preference for deterrence against terrorism may backfire in these circumstances. Increases in the government's military efficiency against the rebels, who are also terrorists against the government's sponsor, raises overall levels of violence.     

Saudi Arabia's defence offset programmes: Progress,policy and performance

This paper discusses the performance of Saudi Arabia's defence offset programmes. The Kingdom is involved in some of the World's biggest defence offset agreements and a review of the problems it has faced and the policies it has introduced provides a useful insight into that part of the international defence market where trade and development meet.

The paper reviews the origins and development of Saudi Arabia's major defence offset programmes. Saudi policies towards defence offsets are outlined before assessing the practical impact of the programmes themselves. The author concludes that Saudi Arabia's offset projects have had only a minor impact on the Kingdom's economy to date and makes a number of policy recommendations which are designed to enhance the utility of the programmes in the Kingdom's drive to enhance and diversify the technological base of its economy.     

One-bit splitting deceptive jamming against SAR

One-bit quantization is a promising technique due to its performance retention and complexity reduction in a deceptive jammer against synthetic aperture radar (SAR). In this paper, the 1-bit quantization technology is utilized to agilely generate split false targets in the SAR imagery once the radar signal is intercepted, which reduces the complexity of the jammer significantly with guaranteed focusing quality. A single-frequency threshold is used to decompose harmonics incurred by the 1-bit quantization, and its parameters are adjusted through different pulse repetition intervals to provide steerable modulations. In this way, the SAR signal is split into coupled false scatterers during the 1-bit interception. By further deploying amplitude, time-delay, and Doppler frequency modulations on the 1-bit intercepted signal, the split false targets are created. The proposed approach is compared with different deceptive jamming methods to show its validity in effectiveness and cost, and numerical experiments are also presented for verification.

AISI H13钢表面改性技术研究进展

用于加工铝合金、镁合金零部件的AISI H13热作模具钢因其恶劣的服役环境,现已表现出低寿命的致命缺陷.激光加热淬火工艺因兼有表面强化、残余应力低及与基底保持高的结合之特性,使AISI H13热作模具钢具有广阔的应用前景;激光熔覆合金化工艺因具有较强的表面可设计性与使用可靠性,使AISI H13热作模具钢具有巨大的发展潜力;热喷涂工艺具有流程短且涂层可设计性等优势,但因涂层与基底呈弱结合之状态,因此应在成分与工艺上进行涂层与基底之间热匹配设计,以满足工程应用的高性能化与长寿命化之需.

对流层散射信道传递时间信号的抖动抑制模型

对流层散射信道传递时间同步信号过程中,信道的多径效应及噪声会引起信号抖动。为抑制抖动、提高时间同步精度,引入经验模态分解和小波阈值组合的抖动抑制模型。组合抖动抑制模型中,首先根据经验模态分解原理对原始信号进行分解,然后利用小波阈值对分解得到的各分量进行处理,最终利用处理结果重构信号。为提高组合模型的抖动抑制效果和原始信号的保持能力,利用连续性好、柔和度高的阈值函数对小波阈值中的传统阈值函数进行改进。利用实测数据验证模型的结果表明,在抖动抑制和信号保留方面,组合模型较单一模型以及常用的Kalman模型优势明显。
