Thirty-six Days tells the story where a Mexican family was a victim of organized crime. On December 13, 2014, in La Laja, municipality of Ajuchitlán, Guerrero, falling into his house, armed civilians destroyed the house and took Mr. Ángel Muñoz and two of his daughters, depriving them of their freedom. They were taken to an unknown destination where they would have them tied hand and foot for about three days and then change them from where they would spend thirty-three more days. There they would go hungry, cold, and have bad experiences and bitter days. They would watch and live all kinds of violence that those armed men did. They would be physically and mentally abused. It would take a...
Safety assessment of new air traffic management systems is a main issue for civil aviation authorities. Standard techniques such as testing and simulation have serious limitations in new systems that are significantly more autonomous than the older ones. This paper presents an innovative approach, based on formal verification, for establishing the correctness of conflict detection systems. Fundamental is the concept of trajectory, which is a continuous path in the x-y plane constrained by physical laws and operational requirements. From the Model of trajectories, the authors extract, and formally prove, high level properties that can serve as a framework to analyze conflict scenarios. They use the AILS alerting algorithm as a case study.
An eBook box set of bestselling author Cindy Gerard’s Black Ops, Inc. books 4-6: Feel The Heat, Risk No Secrets, With No Remorse. FEEL THE HEAT Tough, beautiful, and blond, B.J. Chase, a covert operative at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), is assigned to the National Security Agency to find out if and how someone at NSA is leaking information about a top-secret new U.S. weapons program to terrorists. When NSA cryptologist Stephanie Tompkins brings suspicious intercepted messages to the attention of her division head, her superior is killed and Stephanie gets embroiled in a terrorist plot that implicates her as a traitor. Black Ops Inc. swings into action because Stephanie is the comp...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, TPHOLs 2008, held in Montreal, Canada, in August 2008. The 17 revised full papers presented together with 1 proof pearl (concise and elegant presentations of interesting examples), 5 tool presentations, and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of theorem proving in higher order logics as well as related topics in theorem proving and verification such as formal semantics of specification, modeling, and programming languages, specification and verification of hardware and software, formalisation of mathematical theories, advances in theorem prover technology, as well as industrial application of theorem provers.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, TPHOLs 2002, held in Hampton, VA, USA in August 2002. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. All current issues in HOL theorem proving and formal verification of software and hardware systems are addressed. Among the HOL theorem proving systems evaluated are Isabelle/HOL, Isabelle/Isar, and Coq.
New antiviral drugs are urgently needed. Recent outbreaks caused by viruses with great epidemiological impact such as Zika, or extraordinary virulence such as Ebola, Nipah, Lassa, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever highlight the current lack of clinically proven vaccines and treatments for these potentially catastrophic agents. Antiviral Discovery for Highly Pathogenic Emerging Viruses comprehensively outlines the state of the art in antiviral drug discovery including identification of targets, screening strategies and the current pipeline of antiviral candidates including regulatory issues. The book also addresses the challenges faced in proceeding from pre-clinical studies to animal models and clinical trials with these highly pathogenic agents. Ideal for drug discovery scientists and medicinal chemists with an interest in antiviral drug discovery and development, this book provides a complete overview of the latest progress in the field, recent advances and the challenges that remain in developing these highly pathogenic agents. Illustrated throughout with case studies this book is a valuable resource in this complex and multidisciplinary field.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on NASA Formal Methods, NFM 2018, held in Newport News, VA, USA, in April 2018. The 24 full and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers focus on formal techniques and other approaches for software assurance, their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-relevant safety-critical systems during all stages of the software life-cycle.
