Medical Defence

concerns us all, for with it may be closely bound up our future prosperity and happiness, our professional reputation, even our professional existence. I propose to draw on my experiences and give you some impressions gained from a good many years' service now, on the Council of the Medical Defence Union.

RMA defence

information system (CCIS) will be an integrated, networked information communication and processing system interconnecting human operators, intelligent computing systems, distributed sensor systems, and piloted and autonomous platforms. Military units, sensors, weapons and communications will have to be capable of rapid force projection to counter various threats, as well as of performing surpr...

in defence of influence ? 323 In defence of influence ?

(L1) C causes E iff C stands in the ancestral of influence to E. (L2) C influences E iff (i) C and E are actual distinct events and (ii) there is a substantial range of C1, C2, ... of different not-toodistant alterations of C and a range E1, E2, of alterations of E, at least some of which differ, such that if C1 had occurred, E1 would have occurred, if C2 had occurred, E2 would have occurred an...

Evolutionarily stable defence and signalling of that defence.

We examine the evolution and maintenance of defence and conspicuousness in prey species using a game theoretic model. In contrast to previous works, predators can raise as well as lower their attack probabilities as a consequence of encountering moderately defended prey. Our model predicts four distinct possibilities for evolutionarily stable strategies (ESSs) featuring maximum crypsis. Namely ...
