The Lone Wolf Terrorist: An Emerging Threat

The terrorism threat is multifaceted and ever-present; this as a result of terrorism taking on all forms including Islamic, non-Islamic, foreign and domestic. After 9/11, the federal government focused on jihadists and government resources were focused on engaging foreign jihadists allowing a resurgence of non-Islamic domestic terrorism including the lone wolf terrorist (LWT). The problem is th...

Study of lone pair description in molecules by the modified delocalized floating spherical Gaussian orbital method.

This research has been carried out to study and find a rather general description for a lone pairorbital in molecules. Since the orbital parameters must be manageable in advance, and correctgeometry of the molecule (bond lengths) is depend on the appropriate lone pair description; theFSGO method including optimization has been used to obtain orbital parameters and energy. Theproposed models for...

Treatment of lone atrial fibrillation: minimally invasive pulmonary vein isolation, partial cardiac denervation and excision of the left atrial appendage.

Since 1999, my colleagues and I have diligently pursued a minimally invasive surgical, beating-heart, left atrial isolation technique that is offered to patients with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). We began clinical cases in 2003. In 2005, we reported our initial experience with video-assisted bilateral pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion for the minimally in...

پهنه‌بندی ریسک حملات گرگ به انسان و دام‌ با استفاده از شیوۀ حداکثر بی‌نظمی در استان اردبیل

Based on historical data, wolf is one of the large carnivores which suffers from human-wildlife conflicts especially in the animal husbandry field. In this research we tried to model wolf attacks to the humans and livestocks in Ardabil Province, and give some relevant recommendations. Focusing on the wolf attacks data (both human and livestocks), recorded during 10 years (2004–2014), we carried...

Dancing With Wolves: Today's Lone Wolf Terrorists

Investigate the Applicability of Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm in Determining the Optimal Dimensions of Concrete Dams

Acquiring optimal dimensions of concrete dams by reducing the cross section will reduce the volume of concrete used and consequently reduce construction costs. Due to multiplicity of constraints which leads to complexity of the decision space, meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been increasingly used in optimal design of gravity dams. In this study, performance of Grey Wolf Optimizer w...
