Optimal Placement of Suicide Bomber Detectors
This paper develops upon the work by Kaplan and Kress [7], which considered the operational effectiveness of suicide bomber (SB) detector schemes. Here, we consider the optimal placement of detectors in a threat area where the potential targets are known. The threat area is divided into grids for the purpose of our analysis and can have several entrances. We assume that a SB will explode at a p...
متن کاملNETosis – Does It Really Represent Nature’s “Suicide Bomber”?
NETosis is a term that evolved following publication of an original article supposedly describing a novel form of programed neutrophil death that resulted in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) (1). NETosis was subsequently added to the cell death classifications, almost joining the ranks of other, better documented pathways, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagic cel...
متن کاملOperational effectiveness of suicide-bomber-detector schemes: a best-case analysis.
Standoff explosives-detection technologies allow, in principle, for the detection of pedestrian suicide bombers, although such sensors are not yet sufficiently affordable and reliable to justify widespread deployment. What if they were? Assuming the availability of cheap, perfectly sensitive and specific suicide-bomber-sensing devices, we analyze the operational effectiveness of sensor-based de...
متن کاملPresenting a New Method Based on Branch Placement for Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Units
In this paper, a new method based on branch placement for the optimal positioning of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in power systems is proposed. In this method, the PMUs are in type of single-channel and are installed at the beginning of the branches. Therefore, they are able to measure the bus voltages. Also, the installation of the PMUs on the branches increases the security of observabilit...
متن کاملNoisy fighter-bomber duel
The classical duel is a zero-sum game of two players of the following type. The players have certain resources and use them during a given time interval with the goal of achieving success. Use of the resource γ at the moment t leads to success with the probability depending on the amount of resource γ and the time t only (it is usually assumed that the probability of success increases with time...
