Military Spending and Income Inequality:Evidence on Cointegration and Causality for Turkey,1963–2007

This paper investigates a series of unit root, cointegration and causality tests to ascertain the direction of causality between the growth of GNP and defence expenditure in Turkey for the years 1955–2000. The main conclusion is that there is a long‐run equilibrium relationship between GNP and defence expenditures. Furthermore, the short run causality test indicates that there is a unidirectional causality between variables, from defence expenditure to economic growth. In order to see the effect of a shock, we employed impulse response analyses. The results show that GNP decreased during the period then output finally recovered from the initial shock to defence expenditures.

低错误平层数列分割移位LDPC码构造算法研究

为降低LDPC码错误平层,提出一种基于环分类搜索的数列分割移位LDPC码构造算法。该算法具有码长、码率和列重的任意可设性,同时该类码的Tanner图围长至少为8。循环移位因子可以通过简单的代数表达式描述,从而降低内存需求。仿真结果表明,当误码率达到10-5时,数列分割移位LDPC(496,248)码相对于PEG-LDPC码获得了约1.9dB的性能提升;且随着信噪比的升高,两条译码性能曲线之间的差距将更为增大。此外,列重为3的数列分割移位LDPC码(6144,5376)在信噪比4.6dB以后并未出现明显的错误平层。该构造算法与PS-LDPC码相比在误码率达到10-8时大约获得0.25dB增益,特别在错误平层区域其译码性能优于围长为4和6的PEG构造算法,其构造复杂度和耗时也相较于PS-LDPC码和PEG-LDPC码构造算法展现出一定优势。通过基于Tanner图的诱捕集分析方法,统计(496,248)APPS-LDPC码中由8环组成的部分小型诱捕集并不存在,从而证明了其错误平层降低的原因。

低复杂度非规则LDPC码的构造方法

较高的编码复杂度成为非规则LDPC码应用的一个难点。文章从实际应用的角度出发,针对中长码提出了两种低复杂度的非规则LDPC码的构造方法:改进的B IBD和ALDPC,大大降低了编码复杂度。仿真结果表明,构造出的码字比传统的PEG构造方法有一定的性能改善。最后,从非规则码的EX IT图出发,分析了两种构造码子性能的差异。     

Human conflict and universal ethics (part 2)

This second part of the review article begins with a definition of military power, when and how it should be used. From a large number of authors, “moral forces” are linked to “codes of conduct”, and the fundamental understandings about the “profession of arms”, based on “fiduciary trust”, “covenanted” service and professional and personal “conscience”. The article covers what authors have written about “culture” and the ethics of “technology” devices and systems, including “cyber” warfare. It concludes with recognition of the increase in ethical sensitivity in this century which is characterized by a phenomenon, the crises of “identity”, personal, national and global.

An alliance between Cyprus and Greece: assessing its partners’ relative security contribution

The issue that this paper tackles is the assessment of the relative security benefits that Cyprus and Greece derive in the context of their cooperation on defence matters. This form of cooperation, known as the ‘Integrated Defence Space Doctrine’, aims at defending their interests in the Aegean Sea and the broader East Mediterranean theatre. The paper relies heavily on earlier research on this topic, which deals with the Greek–Cypriot alliance facing an arms race against Turkey, and uses a coefficient especially designed to assess the optimal levels of security and the associated defence expenditure of the two allies. A comparison of the relative security coefficient values for the two allies suggests that the security benefit that Greece derives thanks to its alliance with Cyprus exceeds the corresponding Cypriot benefit by far. Given the importance assigned to human resources by this index, in conjunction with the demographic problems of Greece, this conclusion justifies the recent Greek defence policy revision, emphasizing quality, capital equipment and flexibility of forces. This revision aims at satisfying the security requirements of the alliance and the increasing demands of an arms race against Turkey.
