Comprehensive coverage of weapon damage effects on a variety of objects Damaging Effects of Weapons and Ammunition delivers a thorough exploration of a range of issues related to the effects of ammunition and weapons. The book includes coverage of the basic concepts of the theory of efficiency and the physical foundations of the functional and damaging effects of fragments, shaped charges, high-explosive and penetrating weapons. The author discusses the calculation formulas used to evaluation the parameters of damage fields and their interaction with various objects. Additionally, the book expands on the damage criteria of weapons, the characteristics of the vulnerability of objects with respect to a variety of damaging factors, dependencies for assessing safe distances, and the resistance of various structures to the effects of explosion and impact. Damaging Effects of Weapons and Ammunition also offers: Detailed calculation methods indicating areas of application and the necessary units of used quantities Extensive examples of classic designs of ammunition from around the world Discussions of the characterization of various types of ammunition, including high-explosive, fragment, penetrative, and shaped charges A chapter on the numerical simulation of high-speed processes Perfect for technical specialists working in the fields of explosion safety and explosives, Damaging Effects of Weapons and Ammunition also belongs in the libraries of researchers and students studying explosion phenomena, explosive technologies, explosion safety, and materials science.

This book is on the effects of directed energy weapons. That is, how they propagate to and interact with targets. Propagation and target interaction are the key elements in an analysis of a weapon's utility to accomplish a given mission. For example, the effectiveness of a nuclear missile is determined by the yield of its warhead and the accuracy of its guidance, and the effectiveness of a rifle is determined by the type of round fired, the range to the target, and the skill of the soldier who fires it. Directed energy weapons are no different. But while there are books and manuals that deal with the issues affecting the utility of nuclear missiles and rifles, there is no comparable source of information for directed energy weapons. I have tried to fill that void with this book.

The 2022 International Conference on Information Economy, Data Modeling and Cloud Computing (ICIDC 2022) was successfully held in Qingdao, China from June 17 to 19, 2022. Under the impact of COVID-19, ICIDC 2022 was held adopting a combination of online and offline conference. During this conference, we were greatly honored to have Prof Datuk Dr Hj Kasim Hj Md Mansur from Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia to serve as our Conference Chairman. And there were 260 individuals attending the conference. The conference agenda was composed of keynote speeches, oral presentations, and online Q&A discussion. The proceedings of ICIDC 2022 cover various topics, including Big Data Finance, E-Commerce and Digital Business, Modeling Method, 3D Modeling, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing Platform, etc. All the papers have been checked through rigorous review and processes to meet the requirements of publication. Data modeling allows us to obtain the dynamic change trend of various indicator data, so how to use big data information to model and study the development trend of economic operation plan is of great significance. And that is exactly the purpose of this conference, focusing on the application of big data in the economic field as well as conducting more profound research in combination with cloud computing.

The crucial importance of biodiversity law to future human welfare is only now being fully appreciated. This wide-ranging Handbook presents a range of perspectives from leading international experts reflecting up-to-date research thinking on the vital subject of biodiversity and its interaction with law. Through a rigorous examination of the principles, procedures and practices that characterise this area of law, this timely volume effectively highlights its objectives, implementation, achievements, and prospects. More specifically, the work addresses the regulatory challenges posed by the principal contemporary threats to biological diversity, the applicable general principles of international environmental law and the visions, values and voices that are shaping the development of the law. Presenting thematic rather than regime-based coverage, the editors demonstrate the state-of-the-art of current research and identify future research needs and directions. This comprehensive and authoritative Handbook will be an indispensable resource for legal scholars, students and practitioners alike.
