Rapid Response Command and Control (R2C2): a systems engineering analysis of scaleable communications for Regional Combatant Commanders
Includes supplementary materialDisaster relief operations, such as the 2005 Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and wartime operations, such as
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, have identified the need for a standardized command and control
system interoperable among Joint, Coalition, and Interagency entities. The Systems Engineering Analysis Cohort 9 (SEA-9)
Rapid Response Command and Control (R2C2) integrated project team completed a systems engineering (SE) process to
address the military’s command and control capability gap. During the process, the R2C2 team conducted mission analysis,
generated requirements, developed and modeled architectures, and analyzed and compared current operational systems versus
the team’s R2C2 system. The R2C2 system provided a reachback capability to the Regional Combatant Commander’s (RCC)
headquarters, a local communications network for situational assessments, and Internet access for civilian counterparts
participating in Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief operations. Because the team designed the R2C2 system to be
modular, analysis concluded that the R2C2 system was the preferred method to provide the RCC with the required flexibility
and scalability to deliver a rapidly deployable command and control capability to perform the range of military operations
Search for Gravitational Waves from Intermediate Mass Binary Black Holes
We present the results of a weakly modeled burst search for gravitational
waves from mergers of non-spinning intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in the
total mass range 100--450 solar masses and with the component mass ratios
between 1:1 and 4:1. The search was conducted on data collected by the LIGO and
Virgo detectors between November of 2005 and October of 2007. No plausible
signals were observed by the search which constrains the astrophysical rates of
the IMBH mergers as a function of the component masses. In the most efficiently
detected bin centered on 88+88 solar masses, for non-spinning sources, the rate
density upper limit is 0.13 per Mpc^3 per Myr at the 90% confidence level.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures: data for plots and archived public version at

Expediente
Missão: Divulgar artigos científicos sobre histórias em quadrinhos e temas correlatos resultantes de pesquisas acadêmicas desenvolvidas por pesquisadores do Brasil e do exterior, além de dar espaço a resenhas de publicações de caráter científico sobre quadrinhos publicadas no Brasil ou no exterior e de registrar o panorama de atividades (trabalhos acadêmicos, exposições, eventos, etc.) sobre histórias em quadrinhos desenvolvidas no país
Declaración de Tegucigalpa
Los miembros de la Coalición Internacional para el Acceso a la Tierra (International Land Coalition – ILC), reunidos en la IX Asamblea Regional de América Latina y el Caribe, en donde participaron 39 organizaciones de 15 países, representando a campesinos y campesinas organizados, productores y productoras, pueblos indígenas, afrodescendientes, organizaciones de mujeres y de jóvenes, organizaciones no gubernamentales, instituciones académicas y centros de investigación, y en el Foro de la Tierra ALC 2016 "Gobernanza de la tierra y el territorio, participación e inclusión social en América Latina y el Caribe”, ambos llevados a cabo en Tegucigalpa, luego de revisar, discutir y reflexionar sobre la gobernanza de la tierra y el territorio en la región acordaron la presente Declaración de Tegucigalpa
