Civil defence aspects

Security aspects of sensor-based defence systems

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has IMAP and JMAP to perform planning prior to the deployment of forces, but there is a knowledge gap for on-ground forces during the execution of an operation. Multi-agent based sensor systems can provide on-ground forces with a significant amount of real-time information that can be used to modify planning due to changed conditions. The issue with such senso...

ATOPIC DERMATITIS - aspects of defence defects

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease, typically with a chronic relapsing course and a defective skin barrier function. Recently, mutations of the skin barrier gene encoding filaggrin have been reported in a portion of the patients. In this thesis some aspects of defence defects in AD were studied. In paper I, the risk of developing any cancer was increased by 13%. Excess risks...

Physiological aspects of the "defence" and "defeat" reactions.

By means of tele-receptor signals (vision, hearing, olfaction) the mammalian brain is almost continuously informed about environmental events, and whenever these are interpreted as positive or negative challenges the cerebral "super-controller" can, for coping with the anticipated situation, select the most appropriate among a number of pre-formed hypothalamic reaction patterns. These are organ...

Changing Concepts of Security: the Implications for Civil-Military Relations and Defence Policy in Brazil

All together now ? by Ian Thompson Australia ’ s joint civil and defence ATM project

This is a substantial and complex project that will need to accommodate sometimes disparate civil and defence operational requirements, provide a base system that can readily incorporate new software functions to meet Australia's future air traffic demands, and achieve operational and financial efficiencies for both organisations. Over the last five or so years, Airservices Australia and the RA...
