Visual Protection in Aerial Warfare.

Possible Long Term Effects of Chemical Warfare Using Visual Evoked Potentials

Some studies have already addressed the effects of occupational organic solvent exposure on the visually evoked potentials (VEPs). Visual system is an important target for Sulphur Mustard (SM) toxicity. A number of Iranian victims of Sulphur Mustard (SM) agent were apprehensive about the delay effect of SM on their vision and a possible delay effect of SM on their visual cortex. This investigat...

Personal protection during resuscitation of casualties contaminated with chemical or biological warfare agents--a survey of medical first responders.

INTRODUCTION The threat of mass casualties caused by an unconventional terrorist attack is a challenge for the public health system, with special implications for emergency medicine, anesthesia, and intensive care. Advanced life support of patients injured by chemical or biological warfare agents requires an adequate level of personal protection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the person...

Effects-based Operations and the Law of Aerial Warfare

The Genesis of the Civilian

This paper argues that the concept of the civilian is a specific way of viewing non-combatants that can be traced to the First World War. Before the war, non-combatants were seen by the law and the prevailing culture as citizens. The citizenwas potentially and probably aggressive, bound to the fate of his or her state and, therefore, granted only minimal protection by law. The war, however, bro...

Relevance of Information Warfare Models to Critical Infrastructure Protection

This article illustrates the relevance of information warfare models to critical infrastructure protection. Analogies of information warfare models to those of information security and information systems were used to deconstruct the models into their fundamental components and this will be discussed. The models were applied to critical infrastructures to illustrate the relevance to critical in...
