On November 25, 2022, Professor Julian Richards, Director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at University Buckingham (BUCSIS), delivered his opening remarks panel five 2022 West Coast Conference. Richards discussed importance understanding cyber threats to build resilience, supply shortage in market cybersecurity related jobs, bringing academics practitioners together discussi...

We formulate the 2-Lagrange multiplier method for the Richards equation in heterogeneous soil. This allows a rigorous formulation of a discrete version of the Richards equation on subdomain decompositions involving cross points. Using Kirchhoff transformation, the individual subdomain problems can be transformed to convex minimization problems and solved efficiently using a monotone multigrid m...

A new sigmoid growth equation is presented for curve-fitting, analysis and simulation of growth curves. Like the logistic growth equation, it increases monotonically, with both upper and lower asymptotes. Like the Richards growth equation, it can have its maximum slope at any value between its minimum and maximum. The new sigmoid equation is unique because it always tends towards exponential gr...

background and objectives: lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus is widely used in dairy industries as a starter for yogurt production. this study was designed using response surface methodology (rsm) in 12 batch ph-controlled cultures of lactobacillus delbrueckii sub-ssp. bulgaricus for determining the effect of temperature and ph on the biomass production of a native strain of l. bulgaricu...

The New Zealand alpine cave w?t? genus Pharmacus was first described by Pictet & de Saussure (1893) as a monotypic taxon. Three species were added to the Richards in 1972. Here we clarify status and appearance of all known Pharmacus. Based on morphology mtDNA sequences determine that brewsterensis Richards, 1972 is better placed within Notoplectron 1964. We also resolve Isoplectron coch...
