Ecoterrorism and Nontraditional Military Threats

Respiratory diseases among U.S. military personnel: countering emerging threats.

Emerging respiratory disease agents, increased antibiotic resistance, and the loss of effective vaccines threaten to increase the incidence of respiratory disease in military personnel. We examine six respiratory pathogens (adenoviruses, influenza viruses, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Bordetella pertussis) and review the impact of the diseases the...

From Military Threats to Everyday Fear: Computer Games as the Representation of Military Information Operations

Nontraditional and Hybrid Machining Processes

A Study on Threats Detection and Tracking Systems for Military Applications using WSNs

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications it is critical to accurately determine the location of the distributed sensor nodes in order to report the data that is geographically meaningful. Since localization and tracking algorithms have been attracting research and development attention recently, a wide range of existing approaches regarding this topic have emerged. Tracking and localizatio...

Nontraditional Markers of Glycemia

OBJECTIVE To compare the associations of nontraditional (fructosamine, glycated albumin, 1,5-anhydroglucitol [1,5-AG]) and standard (fasting glucose, HbA(1c)) glycemic markers with common microvascular conditions associated with diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1,600 participants (227 with a history of diabetes and 1,323 without) from the ...
