Research in Mathematics and Public Policy
This volume features a variety of research projects at the intersection of mathematics and public policy. The topics included here fall in the areas of cybersecurity and climate change, two broad and impactful issues that benefit greatly from mathematical techniques. Each chapter in the book is a mathematical look into a specific research question related to one of these issues, an approach that offers the reader insight into the application of mathematics to important public policy questions. The articles in this volume are papers inspired by a Workshop for Women in Mathematics and Public Policy, held January 22-25, 2019 at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics and the Luskin Cente...
The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War
How the Pentagon became the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter and why it’s not too late to break the link between national security and fossil fuel consumption. The military has for years (unlike many politicians) acknowledged that climate change is real, creating conditions so extreme that some military officials fear future climate wars. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Defense—military forces and DOD agencies—is the largest single energy consumer in the United States and the world’s largest institutional greenhouse gas emitter. In this eye-opening book, Neta Crawford traces the U.S. military’s growing consumption of energy and calls for a reconceptualizatio...
Modeling the Human Well-being Benefits of Ecosystem Restoration and Management for Environmental Decision Making
Human well-being is inextricably linked to the condition of the natural environment. Environmental management decisions often aim to maintain ecosystems in a healthy and resilient condition while providing the ecosystem goods and services that humans want and need. Models, methods, frameworks, and metrics are needed to characterize and forecast the potential benefits from remediation, restoration, and revitalization that improve human health and well-being through the delivery of ecosystem services. However, ecosystems are complex, and layering on social and economic considerations can make environmental decision-making seem intractable. Dynamics of socio-ecological systems are complicated, ...
Stabilizing Eastern Syria After ISIS
The authors assessed humanitarian needs in Eastern Syria's Middle Euphrates River Valley and examined how locally focused stabilization efforts might be orchestrated to help preclude the Islamic State's recapture of territory.
Building Resilience Together
As part of the RAND Corporation's Security 2040 Initiative, the authors of this report explored a critical global challenge that will shape the security landscape over the next 20 years: contending with and preparing for the effects of climate change. Within the United States, many governmental entities, from cities to counties to military services, have already begun to prepare for and directly address climate change's impacts. The resilience of these communities and installations does not lie neatly within designated jurisdictional borders. Communities are dependent on how their neighbors, which include local military installations, choose to adapt to climate change. Likewise, military ins...
Beschaffungsstrategie Additive Fertigung
Dieses Buch untersucht die Auswirkungen additiver Fertigung (3D-Druck) auf das Versorgungsrisiko funktionaler Beschaffungsobjekte. Im Rahmen eines multitheoretischen und multimethodischen Ansatzes wird ein Portfoliomodell entwickelt, das Bezugsquellen traditioneller Fertigung (TM) und additiver Fertigung (AM) im Rahmen eines Hedged Sourcing Ansatzes kombiniert, um die Versorgungsrisikoposition von Beschaffungsorganisationen zu reduzieren. Das Managementmodell "Hedged Sourcing TM AM" bietet praxeologische Gestaltungsempfehlungen für die Integration additiver Fertigung in risikobehaftete Versorgungssysteme traditioneller Fertigung.

Ischia
“Dai, torna a letto. Non è che t’ammazzano qualcuno il primo giorno di vacanza.” Torna l’ineffabile commissario Jules Magrite, con i baffi, le maglie a righe, la passione per i cibi di qualità e i vini d’annata. Torna in Italia come turista. Al suo fianco il giudice Michelle Lapierre, conosciuta durante le indagini su un caso sanguinoso. Con lei vive una relazione di abbandono e pudore, di tenerezza e disincanto, che in questa vacanza potrebbe consumarsi o, chissà, diventare una vera storia d’amore. La loro permanenza a Ischia − o, come dicono i francesi, “Iscià” − è appena cominciata, quando l’omicidio di un giovane romeno scuote la quiete dell’isola. Magrite no...
