Given the agreement among TCSCF, MP2, and MRMP methods, it is concluded that the structure of Si9H12 is symmetric, that dynamic correlation does not play a major role in determining the structure, and that DFT incorrectly predicts Si9H12 to be buckled.
متن کاملSoftware for Ballistic Missile Defense
A battle management system for comprehensive ballistic missile defense must perform with near perfection and extraordinarily reliability. It will be complex to an unprecedented degree, untestable in a realistic environment, and provide minimal time for human intervention. The feasibility of designing and developing such a system (requiring upwards of ten million lines of code) is examined in li...
متن کاملThe Growing Importance of Ballistic Missile Defense
The idea of ballistic missile defense (BMD) is not new. It originally emerged in the early years of the Cold War as part of the overall strategic competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. The notion that ballistic missiles could be intercepted and destroyed in flight offered the prospect of a system of security based upon an “active defense” rather than the unnerving notion of...
متن کاملIndia’s Ballistic Missile Defense: Implications for South Asian Deterrence Stability Asingle
Asingle factor may not fully explain the rationale for India’s quest for a Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. Security, prestige, and an aspiration for power projection are predominant factors in New Delhi’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, as well as in its pursuit of a BMD system. Particularly after the 2005 India–U.S. nuclear deal, which allowed the United States to provide nuclearrelate...
متن کاملAirborne Boost-Phase Ballistic Missile Defense
Boost-phase ballistic missile defense is alluring because rocket boosters are easy to detect and track, they are relatively vulnerable due to the large axial loads on a missile under powered flight, the entire payload (single or multiple warheads and midcourse penetration aids) may be destroyed in a single shot, and countermeasures to defeat boostphase defense are more difficult to devise than ...
