Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria

Since the July 2009 Boko Haram terrorist outburst in Nigeria, there have been increasing questions on the phenomenon in the country. There has not been any substantial analysis on the emergence of the Boko Haram group and its terrorist activities in Nigeria as the out-rage continues. This study is advanced to explain the phenomenon of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria. It employs the levels of analysis framework popular in the field of international relations to explain the terrorism at three major levels: individual, state and international. The study relies on dependable news reports, which include interviews with key actors relevant to the subject matter, and finds that Boko Haram terrorism has its roots in the ideology and motivations of its founder and members, the failures and deficiencies of the Nigerian state, and the modern trend of religious terrorism in the international system.     

NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION

As the potential for the involvement of corporations in the manufacture of nuclear weapons has increased, particularly through dual-use technology, global regulation has failed to keep pace. Where regulation of private corporations does exist, in the form of treaties, UN resolutions, or more informal arrangements, the obligations fall only on states. This state of affairs is a result of international law's traditional deference to state sovereignty; yet, it has led to significant shortcomings in the global regulatory regime, where states are unwilling or unable to meet their obligations. While radical departures from the traditional model of international law might remove the regulatory gaps caused by noncompliant states, such changes are unrealistic in the current political climate. More realistic changes must be focused on, offering greater recognition of the role of private corporations in nuclear proliferation and increasing state compliance with existing regulation.

弹性高超声速飞行器自适应极点配置控制

本文针对乘波体外形的高超声速飞行器存在的结构/推进/气动强耦合特性,利用鲁棒极点配置方法设计了自适应控制器,实现了对高超声速飞行器的速度和高度指令跟踪控制。控制器采用了Proportional-Integral-Filter(PIF)结构,该结构的控制器不仅能够使系统具备良好的稳态特性而且能够对控制信号进行滤波平滑,从而能够有效地抑制高超声速飞行器的弹性振动对控制系统的影响。基于弹性高超声速飞行器模型CSUAL_GHV,分别采用自适应鲁棒极点配置控制方法和自适应非鲁棒极点配置控制方法进行了数值仿真。结果表明,与非鲁棒极点配置控制方法相比,采用自适应鲁棒极点配置控制方法的控制系统不仅使飞行器能够很快地跟踪上速度和高度指令,跟踪误差小于1%,而且高超声速飞行器的弹性振动也得到了有效地抑制。飞行器在整个飞行过程中的飞行攻角均处于±2°范围内,满足超燃冲压发动机的工作要求。

Maintaining peace in a neighbourhood torn by separatism: the case of Satun province in southern Thailand

While separatist-related conflict has re-emerged in southern Thailand, there is one predominantly Muslim border province that has remained outside of the conflict. Satun province has been conspicuously unaffected by the Malay-Muslim separatist movement, despite its shared history and ethnic origins with the conflict-affected provinces. In contrast to Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, the process of state penetration in Satun was gradual and comparatively less coercive, leading to relative stability and encouraging political and economic integration. This comparative study analyzes the history of cooperative state–minority relations and political stability in Satun province, and draws important lessons directly applicable to the unrest in neighbouring provinces.     

基于ARMA辨识的色噪系统状态参数鲁棒估计

实际环境中观测系统的噪声,同时存在着白噪、色噪声和尖点噪声的影响.已有的研究都仅考虑白噪或色噪声,首次将实际系统中可能出现的所有噪声纳入观测方程,推导出统一的带白噪形式的观测方程.新观测方程在色噪声ARMA辨识基础上,可以直接用于传统的卡尔曼滤波算法,避免了扩维滤波.于是状态参数的稳健估计归结为ARMA参数的辨识.重点研究了自由参数选取与输入噪声之间的关系,将鲁棒支持向量回归机的优化问题转换成最大后验估计问题,为合理选择自由参数提供了理论依据.仿真结果验证了新算法的有效性.     

Why did Sudan Lose a small war in Southern Sudan?

ABSTRACT

When on the wrong end of an asymmetry in the projection of hard power, weaker sides countenance the grim arithmetic of avoiding direct and massed confrontations. Invariably, insurgents have over the ages tended to employ indirect tactical methods to render their stronger opponents ineffective. Ultimately – interest asymmetry, regime type, asymmetries of strategy, and external intervention – combine in a complex interplay and pattern, to militate against a strong side. In Sudan, these factors interacted throughout the civil wars to produce regional autonomy and finally an independent South Sudan in 2011. Similar strategic logic had confronted many large African states battling insurgencies in Ethiopia, Angola, Nigeria, Zaire, and apartheid-era South Africa. Oftentimes, weakening public resolve has caused these governments to accommodate, capitulate or withdraw even if they try not to blink. Notwithstanding the regime type, it can be concluded that the majority of strong actors are prone to fail in a protracted, asymmetric conflict. Hence, the notion of linking victory in counterinsurgency to the degree of openness (democratic polyarchies); or closeness (totalitarianism) – is still valid but highly contestable in the case of Africa’s large dysfunctional states.     

基于三粒子纠缠态的量子安全直接通信协议

提出了一种新的三粒子量子安全直接通信协议。通信过程利用decoy光子来检测窃听,保证信道安全。发送方将秘密消息编码在不同幺正操作上,通信双方通过Bell基和Z基测量可直接传递秘密消息。由于所有粒子都用于传输秘密消息,且传输一次可获得两比特信息,该协议具有较高的量子比特及量子密码协议效率;三粒子纠缠态的制备是已实现技术,该协议具有实际操作的意义。此外,该协议在量子信道中也是安全的。
