SAS-065 was originally mandated by NATO-RTO-SAS1 to develop a generic conceptual model for assessing the evolving “maturity” of NATO’s command and control system.2 The mandate’s context was NATO’s force transformation initiative to improve the Network Enabled Capability (NEC) of NATO’s forces with gradual improvement from the capacity for de-conflicted operations, as prevailed during the Cold W...

Abstract Syngas production from catalytic gasification of polystyrene and pinewood in CO2 atmosphere was investigated over Ni-Mg/Al2O3 catalyst a fixed-bed reactor at 900 °C. A quasi situ method adopted for wherein the placed downstream feedstock same used enhanced syngas production. The effect on evolutionary behavior, cumulative yield, composition, cold gas efficiency systematically analyzed....

Environmental pollution caused by the development of industry and rapid increase in number vehicles currently requires restrictions on use lubricants. Used lubricants contain complex mixtures hydrocarbons that adversely affect plants creating conditions make essential nutrients such as nitrogen oxygen needed for plant growth unavailable cause severe problems soil ecosystems rhizosphere. The acc...

The flavonoid pigment pathway in plants has been used as a model system for studying gene regulatory mechanisms. C2-Idf is a stable dominant mutation of the chalcone synthase gene, c2, which encodes the first dedicated enzyme in this biosynthetic pathway of maize. Homozygous C2-Idf plants show no pigmentation. This allele also inhibits expression of functional C2 alleles in heterozygotes, produ...

For the first time we search for $\eta_{c2}(1D)$ in $e^+e^-\to\gamma\eta_{c2}(1D)$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 10.52, 10.58, and 10.867 GeV with data samples of 89.5 fb$^{-1}$, 711 121.4 respectively, accumulated Belle detector KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. No significant signal is observed mass range between 3.8 3.88 GeV/$c^2$. The upper limit 90\% confidence level on product Born cro...

poly aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrophobic organic compound found as major contaminants in soil. soil biological activities are vital for the restoration of soil contaminated with hydrocarbons. successful application of bioremediation technology to contaminated soil requires knowledge of the characteristics of the site and the parameters that affect the microbial biodegradation of pollutants. t...

Unique oil:sand aggregates, termed surface residue balls (SRBs), were formed on coastal headland beaches along the northern Gulf of Mexico as emulsified MC252 crude oil mixed with sand following the Deepwater Horizon spill event. The objective of this study is to assess the biodegradation potential of crude oil components in these aggregates using multiple lines of evidence on a heavily-impacte...

Information age organizations must effectively utilize new communications capabilities to gain an advantage over their competition. Command and Control (C2) research has demonstrated the potential for decentralization of C2 to improve mission performance in networked battlefields. However, it is unlikely that all future missions will be best executed with a decentralized C2 architecture. Theref...

OBJECTIVE The optimal treatment modality for traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis is still a controversial issue. Many conservative, posterior and anterior fixation techniques have been used to treat these injuries. The C2 pars (isthmus) was used as a novel screw anchor point in upper cervical spine injuries. The direct C2 pars screws are also used to fixate the posterior and anterior parts ...
