Information warfare : chaos on the electronic superhighway / by Schwartau, Winn.(CARDINAL)208326;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Econo-politics of information warfare -- Computers everywhere and the global network -- Binary schizophrenia -- On the nature of insidious -- Influenza, malicious software, and OOPS! -- Sniffers and the switch -- The World of Mr. va Eck -- Cryptography ...As the National Information Infrastructure grows and evolves into everyman's electronic superhighway, are we opening the doors to an electronic cold war? Or are we on the edge of a brave new precipice overlooking the dawn of the information revolution? With over 125,000,000 computers inextricably tying our economy together through complex land and satellite-based communications systems, a major portion of our domestic 6 trillion dollar economy depends on their consistent and reliable operation. In a serious and inviting manner, Information Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway examines the awesome potential for industrial and international espionage. Through sabotage, theft, data manipulation, and other means, our economy could be crippled beyond anything in recent history. Currently within the banking community it is common practice for banks to use creative accounting to hide millions of dollars lost every year through Information Warfare. In Information Warfare the "digital persona" plays the role of victim and perpetrator. The wrong hands could extract the most personal information about the "digital you," not the least of which could be medical, financial, business, legal, and criminal documentation. An individual could alter his/her own records to eradicate nefarious histories. Or an individual could alter anyone's electronic documentation for any reason. Information Warfare outlines almost every kind of informational disaster imaginable leaving the reader to think there may be no way out of the quagmire that is the new information age. However, author Winn Schwartau details current trends in Information Warfare and inspires the dialogue necessary to establish a National Information Policy, a constitution for Cyberspace and an Electronic Bill of Rights.

Narrated by George Guidall.19th-century Europe, from Turin to Prague to Paris, abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Conspiracies rule history.

Every nation has its own secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and massacres. From teh unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to the notorious forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat. But, what if, behind all these conspiracies both real and imagined, lay just one man? What if that evil genius created the most infamous document of all?System requirements: CD/MP3 player or PC with MP3-capable software.

Local calibration of the MEPDG for flexible pavement design : final report / by Kim, Y. Richard.(CARDINAL)295401; North Carolina.Department of Transportation.Research and Analysis Group.(CARDINAL)272064; North Carolina State University.Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.(CARDINAL)307977;
Included bibliographical references (pages 227-233).Final report;IIn an effort to move toward pavement designs that employ mechanistic principles, the AASHTO Joint Task Force on Pavements initiated an effort in 1996 to develop an improved pavement design guide. The project called for the development of a design guide that employs existing state-of-the-practice mechanistic-based models and design procedures. The product of this initiative became available in 2004 in the form of software called the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The performance prediction models in the MEPDG were calibrated and validated using performance data measured from hundreds of pavement sections across the United States. However, these nationally calibrated performance models in the MEPDG do not necessarily reflect local materials, local construction practices, and local traffic characteristics. Therefore, in order to produce accurate pavement designs for the State of North Carolina, the MEPDG distress prediction models must be recalibrated using local materials, traffic, and environmental data. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has decided to adopt the MEPDG for future pavement design work and has awarded a series of research projects to North Carolina State University. The primary objective of this study is to calibrate the MEPDG performance prediction models for local materials and conditions using the data and findings generated from this series of research projects. The work presented in this report focuses on four major topics: (1) the development of a GIS-based methodology to enable the extraction of local subgrade soils data from a national soils database; (2) the rutting and fatigue cracking performance characterization of twelve asphalt mixtures commonly used in North Carolina; (3) the characterization of local North Carolina traffic; and (4) calibration of the flexible pavement distress prediction models in the MEPDG to reflect local materials and conditions.Performed by North Carolina State University, Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, sponsored by North Carolina Dept. of Transportation, Research and Analysis Group
