Technology for Combating WMD Terrorism: Proceedings of the NATO ARW on Technology for Combating WMD Terrorism, Hunt Valley, MD, U.S.A. from 19 to 22 November … II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry)
Product Description
Much has been written on WMD terrorism, but few books bestow a systems approach to this problem. In this book, we bestow an integrated view of WMD terrorism. The risk section reviews several scenarios that a terrorist may use and a very comprehensive list of the possible biological organisms and compounds that can be used as biological, mid-spectrum, and chemical threats. In the science and technology section, the technical aspects of a successful defense hostile to WMD agents are presented. Arguments are presented for the control of the release of scientific in rank to bolster CB defense. Approaches to biological agent detection and a system for ranking detection technologies are discussed next. The generic approach to biological screening and detection is then illustrated with some applications of generic detectors to water, food, and aerosol. The future of biological detection and identification is also presented, by the side of with a call to perhaps exchange the paradigms that we are using. The last section of the book deals with response system plotting. An example of regional cooperation is presented. Risk based management is discussed and a matter-of-fact example of this approach to emergency plotting is presented. Arguments for an epidemiological reporting system are presented even as the last chapter discusses means to integrate the various components of a response system via a software tool.
Systems planners, Program managers, first responders, and the scientific community will find this book as a helpful addition to their professional and private libraries.
