How can we make sense of the fact that we live in a world where good people co-exist in silence about widespread animal suffering. How is it that sites of suffering such as laboratories, factory farms, abattoirs and animal transportation are all around us and yet we 'do not, in a certain sense, know about them' [1]. This 'not knowing' is one of the most difficult barriers for animal activists w...

Protocol-based denial-of-service attacks are currently one of the greatest threats to survivability. Since they are implemented using the very protocols used for establishing communication, they often do not require any special special privileges on the part of the attacker. Moreover, since most existing protocols were not designed to be resistant to these types of attacks, they are often very ...

At least since Frege (1960) and Geach (1965), there has been some consensus about the relation between negation, the speech act of denial, and the attitude of rejection: a denial, the consensus has had it, is the assertion of a negation, and a rejection is a belief in a negation. Recently, though, there have been notable deviations from this orthodox view. Rejectivists have maintained that nega...

Ecology as a science today, mainly rejects anthropocentrism in favour of nonhuman-centred ethics. Such rejection is propagated proper valuing nature, while the human-centred eco-theories are considered to be theoretic basis for exploitation and destruction nature by humans. The main purpose some ecologic theories reduce growth human’s population because people’s existence, totally, seen cause e...

T he Test Storage Ring (TSR) has been in operation at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics for some 20 years now. It is a racetrack of sorts, with a 55-meter circumference, on which charged particles race around, guided by magnets. Compared with its big brothers, such as the new super-accelerator LHC at the European particle physics lab in Geneva, the TSR is quite modest. But by no mean...

● Security is built on top of three operational aspects of computer systems: confidentiality, integrity and availability ● (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS) is an attack on the availability of data ● The denial-of-service effect is achieved by sending messages to the target that interfere with its operation, and make it crash, reboot, freeze or do useless work ● Motivation can be both polit...

one of the crimes mentioned in the islamic jurisprudence and iranian statute laws as a crime against public security and security of the roads as well as terrifying the public is the crime of in fringement of public security and corruption on the earth. the present paper is an attempt to offer a comprehensive definition of “waging a war and corruption on the earth” from the jurisprudential and ...

Due to deployment in hostile environment, wireless sensor network is vulnerable to various attacks. Exhausted sensor nodes in sensor network become a challenging issue because it disrupts the normal connectivity of the network. Affected nodes give rise to denial of service that resists to get the objective of sensor network in real life. A mathematical model based on Absorbing Markov Chain (AMC...

Scientific data supporting rational arguments for human-made causes of climate and environmental changes might be persuasive in some contexts. Law, policy, activism The Earth Charter similarly appear insufficient to change attitudes behaviours. Even biblical theological fail move Christians beyond apathy denial. Decades ecological theology calls conversion suggest that appeals reason facts are ...

Denial in sexual offenders represents the first barrier to successful treatment a clinician is likely to face. However, there is currently no research focusing on the experiences of treatment professionals who treat and manage deniers. This study aimed to bridge this research gap and to gain an insight into the perspectives and experiences of professionals who treat and manage sex offenders in ...
