油料洞库坑道油气蔓延规律与特性模拟实验研究

油料洞库储存着大量的易燃易爆油品,防火防爆工作是油库安全工作的核心.对单侧洞口油料洞库狭长地下坑道中的油气蔓延过程进行了模拟实验研究,研究结果表明:油气在狭长地下坑道中的蔓延过程大致可分为4个阶段:开始阶段、增长阶段、发展阶段、稳定阶段;蔓延呈明显的分层流动现象,且在发展阶段中处于稳定的分层蔓延;油料洞库的坑道结构对油...     

基于支持向量机和遗传算法的末敏弹系统效能参数优化设计

末敏弹是一种先进的新型弹药,由于其结构复杂,影响因素多,所以对其进行全面的系统优化设计比较困难。文中探讨了基于支持向量机的末敏弹命中概率预报模型的建模方法,并采用遗传算法对系统效能参数进行了优化,获得了影响系统效能的几个主要因素的合理搭配,为末敏弹的系统效能研究提供了依据。     

Amphetamines,Cognitive Enhancement and their Implications for Medical Military Ethics

ABSTRACT

The growing area of military bio-technologies, especially the use of cogniceuticals, raises several ethical concerns for military physicians. These include the role of military physicians in prescribing amphetamines whose long-term effects are largely unknown, and the possible undermining of the ethic of “do no harm,” since amphetamines may diminish a soldier’s moral responsibility. Below, we outline some important questions relating to the ethics of amphetamines and medical military physicians.     

Ireland: rebellion and counter-insurgency, 1848–1867

ABSTRACT

The period 1848 to 1867 witnessed what could be regarded as a very small-scale insurgency campaign in Ireland, waged by agrarian groups; the Whiteboys and Ribbonmen. 1848 and 1867 witnessed rebellions by the Young Irelanders and Fenians, which proved to be small-scale and of short duration but the British government had prepared for a nationwide counter-insurgency campaign. The government relied heavily on the militarised Irish Constabulary but in 1848 and 1867 troops were used in large numbers and there were concerns about how they could be best concentrated to meet the envisaged threat.
