Arms control sceptics claim that arms control is either impossible in hostile rivalries or unnecessary in confrontations where disputes are being resolved. We propose five arms control measures, including training alerts, no travel zones, declaration on principles of training standards, incident notification, and no-testing moratoria in operational deployment areas in South Asia. To test the validity of these five arms control measures, we apply these...

A high-precision calculation method for internal trajectory was proposed for the pneumatic launch system of underwater weapons. The method combined high-precision theoretical derivation with computational fluid mechanics slip technique and used the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to solve the high-pressure gas domain during the launch process. The sliding grid was used to simulate the single degree of freedom weapon launch in the water area, so as...

In order to solve the problem that the formation and assignment of space launch crew mainly rely on mission experience and lack of theoretical support, firstly, the formation of space launch crew is briefly designed based on the principles of space launch crew allocation, including technical support team, launch team and test team. Secondly, on the basis of the work benefit value of space launch crew in the three teams, the personnel allocation model...

Racial preferences, as practiced in academia and elsewhere, by definition, discriminates against individuals based on their race. Radical academics and writers, including the founders of critical race theory, have long supported the use of race as a predominant factor in postsecondary and graduate school admissions. If the Court rules as it should that postsecondary institutions cannot use race as a factor in school admissions, that decision will...

Abstract The Pacific Island Health Officers’ Association, the World Health Organization, and the Pacific Community co-organized the launch of the Pacific Vector Network (PVN) to address challenges posed by mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue fever, Zika virus disease, chikungunya, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis. The PVN was created as a new initiative under the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPHSN). This launch was a critical...
