Nanotechnology in a Globalized World: Strategic Assessments of an Emerging Technology
PASCC Report Number 2014-006Nanotechnologies are enabling, dual-use technologies with the potential to alter the modern world
significantly, from fields as wide-ranging as warfare to industrial design to medicine to social and
human engineering. Seizing the technological lead in nanotech is often viewed as an imperative for
both 21st century defense and global competitiveness. Only revolutionary technologies are believed
to allow a country to take advantage of its relative backwardnessβin the sense of its lack of
commitment to existing, incremental technologiesβand leap ahead of existing technological leaders
in developing and deploying a revolutionary new technology. New technologies, however, are only
likely truly to revolutionize an economy and society if there is a broader national base that allows a
new technology to spread and transform from its initial niche application, whether civilian or
military, and if society is willing to adopt the technology in question. Globally, there is significant
belief in the revolutionary potential of nanotechnology, not only to transform warfare, economy and
society, but also the international geopolitical hierarchy. Between 2001 and 2014, over sixty countries
followed the United States and established nanotechnology initiatives. These countries range from
advanced industrial countries in Europe to Japan to the emerging markets of Russia, China, Brazil,
and India to developing countries such as Nepal and Pakistan.U.S. Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC),

Impact of pandemics and war in EUβs cohesion policy:problematics and challenges
The impact of Russiaβs war in Ukraine, as another external shock, in EUβs economy and society is clearly high. It arrived just when another external shock (the convid-19 pandemic) was getting absorbed and overcome.
This research frames this war in an historic evolution of multiple political factors in Europe and then characterizes the consequences of this external shock.
Then an analysis of the degree of asymmetry in the distribution of those impacts across the EU regions is made and a framework for the following years is proposed: the quadruple transition.
The paper finishes with an assessment of how these four transitions are assuming different paces in different EU regions, calling for an intervention of EUβs cohesion policy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Hall Conductance of a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas in Periodic Lattice with Triangular Antidots
The topic of this contribution is the investigation of quantum states and
quantum Hall effect in electron gas subjected to a periodic potential of the
lateral lattice. The potential is formed by triangular quantum antidos located
on the sites of the square lattice. In a such system the inversion center and
the four-fold rotation symmetry are absent. The topological invariants which
characterize different magnetic subbands and their Hall conductances are
calculated. It is shown that the details of the antidot geometry are crucial
for the Hall conductance quantization rule. The critical values of lattice
parameters defining the shape of triangular antidots at which the Hall
conductance is changed drastically are determined. We demonstrate that the
quantum states and Hall conductance quantization law for the triangular antidot
lattice differ from the case of the square lattice with cylindrical antidots.
As an example, the Hall conductances of magnetic subbands for different antidot
geometries are calculated for the case when the number of magnetic flux quanta
per unit cell is equal to three.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Enabling Data-Driven Transportation Safety Improvements in Rural Alaska
Safety improvements require funding. A clear need must be demonstrated to secure funding. For transportation safety, data, especially data about past crashes, is the usual method of demonstrating need. However, in rural locations, such data is often not available, or is not in a form amenable to use in funding applications. This research aids rural entities, often federally recognized tribes and small villages acquire data needed for funding applications. Two aspects of work product are the development of a traffic counting application for an iPad or similar device, and a review of the data requirements of the major transportation funding agencies. The traffic-counting app, UAF Traffic, demonstrated its ability to count traffic and turning movements for cars and trucks, as well as ATVs, snow machines, pedestrians, bicycles, and dog sleds. The review of the major agencies demonstrated that all the likely funders would accept qualitative data and Road Safety Audits. However, quantitative data, if it was available, was helpful
