Writing the differential equation in the form x(dy/dx) + y 2 = 1, we see that it is nonlinear in y because of y 2. However, writing it in the form (y 2 − 1)(dx/dy) + x = 0, we see that it is linear in x. 10. Writing the differential equation in the form u(dv/du) + (1 + u)v = ue u we see that it is linear in v. However, writing it in the form (v + uv − ue u)(du/dv) + u = 0, we see that it is nonlinear in u. 11. From y = e −x/2 we obtain y = − 1 2 e −x/2. Then 2y + y = −e −x/2 + e −x/2 = 0. 12. From y = 6 5 − 6 5 e −20t we obtain dy/dt = 24e −20t , so that dy dt + 20y = 24e −20t + 20 6 5 − 6 5 e −20t = 24. 13. From y = e 3x cos 2x we obtain y = 3e 3x cos 2x − 2e 3x sin 2x and y = 5e 3x cos 2x − 12e 3x sin 2x, so that y − 6y + 13y = 0. 14. From y = − cos x ln(sec x + tan x) we obtain y = −1 + sin x ln(sec x + tan x) and y = tan x + cos x ln(sec x + tan x). Then y + y = tan x. 15. The domain of the function, found by solving x + 2 ≥ 0, is [−2, ∞). From y = 1 + 2(x + 2) −1/2 we have (y − x)y = (y − x)[1 + (2(x + 2) −1/2 ] = y − x + 2(y − x)(x + 2) −1/2 = y − x + 2[x + 4(x + 2) 1/2 − x](x + 2) −1/2 = y − x + 8(x + 2) 1/2 (x + 2) −1/2 = y − x + 8.

In this paper, the cumulative effect of load and material uncertainties is explored using fuzzy-finite element analysis. Example problems are taken up, calculations are performed and results are discussed. The need for introducing uncertainty in load and material property (Young's modulus) in the analysis of solid mechanics problems is underlined. Uncertainty is introduced in load and material properties by choosing triangular membership functions with equal spread about the crisp value. Uncertain response of the structures to the fuzzy interval values of load and Young's modulus is obtained in terms of fuzzy interval displacements and the results are post-processed to obtain fuzzy interval values of bending moment, shear force and axial forces. Sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the relative sensitivity of displacements and forces to multiple uncertainties. The result demonstrates the need for introducing simultaneous uncertainties in the analysis of solid mechanics problems. Till date, classical non-fuzzy finite element analysis is the most popular mathematical tool to model the static and dynamic response of structures to a high degree of computational precision. Classical finite element analysis makes use of floating point numbers to describe the physical quantities and the output generated is crisp and non-fuzzy in nature. Classical finite element method, despite its advantages, is not suited to handle uncertainty in the design variables of the structural system i.e. displacements, loads, bending moments and shear forces. A realistic or natural way of representing uncertainty in engineering problems might be to consider the values of unknown variables, which are defined within intervals that possess known bounds 1. Extensive research helped understanding the behaviour of imprecisely defined systems using fuzzy logic. Uncertainty in the input data as well as the behaviour of systems was explained by introducing vagueness in qualitative terms in the definition of design variables of the problem. Use of fuzzy logic to understand and model the behaviour of structural systems is of recent origin 2. Concerted efforts were made since then to handle uncertainty in engineering problems realistically by introducing fuzziness in material and geometric properties of structural systems and also service loads to which the structures are exposed to during their design life period 3. An interval based finite element method was developed by Koyluoglu et al 4 to deal with pattern loading and structural uncertainty. In addition, linear programming and triangle inequalities were used for the solution of simultaneous linear interval equations. Koyluoglu et al 5 demonstrated the problem of shear frames with uncertain properties and compared the results obtained by stochastic and interval versions of finite elements. have developed different versions of interval-based finite elements to account for uncertainties in engineering problems. But these works were primarily developed to suit narrow intervals and approximate numerical results. A new search-based algorithm to solve a system of linear interval equations was developed by Rao and Chen Li 8. The algorithm performs search operations with an accelerated step size in order to locate the optimal setting of the hull of the solution. Muhanna and Mullen 2 developed a fuzzy-based matrix method of structural analysis for the calculation of extreme values of structural response for all possible loading combinations. Muhanna and Mullen 3 dealt with the formulation by fuzzy-finite elements for solid mechanics problems. The fuzzy approach to treating uncertainties in continuum mechanics is applied to individual instances of load, geometric and material uncertainties thus obtaining sharp inclusion of fuzzy solution in comparison with the exact solution. Muhanna and Mullen 1 handled uncertainty in mechanics problems using an interval-based approach. Element-by-element (EBE) technique was employed to obtain a very sharp enclosure for the fuzzy solution by eliminating the sources of overestimation. A practical approach for analyzing the structures with fuzzy parameters was developed by Akpan et al 9. The uncertainties in material, loading and structural properties were represented by convex normal fuzzy sets. Vertex solution methodology that was based on Ä®-cut representation was

Criminal Minds can leave one with the impression that Criminal Profiling (CP)-the task of inferring demographic and personality details of an offender from his or her crime scene actions-is a well-practiced and reliable investigative technique. Over the past three decades, CP has gained tremendous popularity as a media topic, an academic area of study, and a tool for police investigations worldwide. However, as we demonstrate in this article, the acceptance of CP by many police officers, profilers, and the public is at odds with the absence of scientific evidence to confirm its reliability or validity. We think this confusion has arisen for two related reasons. The first is that people have developed a biased picture of CP because they typically hear only about its glowing successes. The second, related, reason relates to what we know about cognition and the manner by which people process information , which typically serves to support the credibility of CP.

Serbian General inspector of Military Security Agencies n order to analyze and percept, even partially, what is the manifestation of complexity of contemporary intelligence operations and their realizati-ons, the authors primarily points at actual understanding of intelligence operation concept. They indicate intelligence operations elements and signifies that enormous resources and financial means are spending during realization. Also , points that is necessary to manage complex processes of intelligence operations realization, in order to enable their efficiency and efficient ending of whole intelligence enterprise. Realization of diverse intelligence enterprises, for its complexity, dynamism and uncertainty, perforce need intelligence methodical project analysis of organizing, conducting and managing intelligence operations. Survey of intelligence operations management is, irrespective of level of ambition and detailing, extremely difficult attempt. In this paper phases of intelligence operations development are given and it points that intelligence operations planning represent first phase in process of operations management , which contains definition of aims, directions and global development strategy, specification of measures and means for achievement of established goals and selection of best alternative.

This is the second edition of the  Crime Classification Manual  (CCM-II). The development of this manual over the years has received notice from FBI investigative  profilers, law enforcement officers, corrections and parole staff, mental health staff, and students in forensic studies and criminal justice studies. The purpose of this manual is fourfold: 1. To  standardize terminology within the criminal justice  field 2. To  facilitate communication within the criminal justice  field and between criminal justice and mental health 3. To  educate the criminal justice system and the public at large to the types of crimes being committed 4. To  develop a database for investigative  research This book is about classifying crime. Professions develop and advance their science as they are able to organize and classify their work.  The nature of science began when organisms began to generalize, to see similarities between themselves and members of their own species or to see differences and other similarities between other species and themselves.  Thus, the nature of science requires that one  first observe  and then attempt to categorize, compare, and classify observations. Classification is a process in data collection and analysis in which data are grouped according to previously determined characteristics. i

The assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) traumatized the nation. In this paper we show that evidence used to rule out a second assassin is fundamentally flawed. This paper discusses new compositional analyses of bullets reportedly to have been derived from the same batch as those used in the assassination. The new analyses show that the bullet fragments involved in the assassination are not nearly as rare as previously reported. In particular , the new test results are compared to key bullet composition testimony presented before the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). Matches of bullets within the same box of bullets are shown to be much more likely than indicated in the House Select Committee on Assassinations' testimony. Additionally, we show that one of the ten test bullets is considered a match to one or more assassination fragments. This finding means that the bullet fragments from the assassination that match could have come from three or more separate bullets. Finally, this paper presents a case for reanalyzing the assassination bullet fragments and conducting the necessary supporting scientific studies. These analyses will shed light on whether the five bullet fragments constitute three or more separate bullets. If the assassination fragments are derived from three or more separate bullets, then a second assassin is likely, as the additional bullet would not easily be attributable to the main suspect, Mr. Oswald, under widely accepted shooting scenarios [see Posner (1993), Case Closed, Bantam, New York].

It is impossible to separate the foundation of the discipline of International Relations from the larger public reaction to the horrors of the 'Great War', as it was initially called. For many historians of the time, the intellectual question which eclipsed all others and monopolized their interest was the puzzle of how and why the war began. Gooch in England, Fay and Schmitt in the United States, Renouvin and Camille Bloch in France, Thimme, Brandenburg and von Wegerer in Germany, Pribram in Austria and Pokrovsky in Russia deserve to be mentioned in this regard (Taylor 1961: 30). They had the same moral purpose, which was to discover the causes of the First World War so that future generations might be spared a similar catastrophe. The human cost of the 1914-18 war led many to argue that the old assumptions and prescriptions of power politics were totally discredited. Thinkers such as Sir Alfred Zimmern and Philip Noel-Baker came to prominence in the immediate postwar years. They believed that peace would come about only if the classical balance of power were replaced by a system of collective security (including the idea of the rule of law) in which states transferred domestic concepts and practices to the international sphere. Central here was a commitment to the nineteenth-century belief that humankind could make political progress by using reasoned debate to develop common interests. This was a view shared by many liberal internationalists, later dubbed 'idealists' or 'utopians' by critics who thought their panaceas were simplistic. Carr (1939/1945/1946) maintained that their proposed solution to the scourge of war suffered from the major problem of reflecting, albeit unwittingly, the position of the satisfied powers-'the haves' as opposed to the 'have-nots' in international relations. It is interesting to note that the first complaint about the ideological and political character of such a way of thinking about international politics was first made by a 'realist' such as Carr who was influenced by Marxism and its critique of the ideological nature of the dominant liberal approaches to politics and economics in the nineteenth century. Carr thought that the same criticism held with respect to the 'utopians', as he called them. The war shook the confidence of those who had invested their faith in classical diplomacy and who thought the use of force was necessary at times to maintain the balance of power. At the outbreak of the First World War few thought it would last more than a few months and fewer still anticipated the scale of the impending catastrophe. Concerns about the human cost of war were linked with the widespread notion that the old international order, with its secret diplomacy and secret treaties, was plainly immoral. The belief in the need for a 'clean break' with the old order encouraged the view that the study of history was an imperfect guide to how states should behave in future. In the aftermath of the war, a new academic discipline was thought essential, one devoted to understanding and preventing international conflict. The first scholars in the field, working within universities in the victorious countries, and particularly in Britain and the United States, were generally agreed that the following three questions should guide their new field of inquiry: 1. What were the main causes of the First World War, and what was it about the old order that led national governments into a war which resulted in misery for millions? 2. What were the main lessons that could be learned from the First World War? How could the recurrence of a war of this kind be prevented? 3. On what basis could a new international order be created, and how could international institutions, and particularly
