Strong militaries alone are not enough to secure a nation. A wide range of non-traditional issues-such as financial instability; food, water and health insecurities; energy shortages; organized crime; climate change; terrorism by non-state actors backed by a state; and technological disruptions-play a critical role. Yet, these often receive insufficient attention, as policymakers tend to treat them as secondary. This mindset must change, as old frameworks cannot address new challenges. Ope...

Surfactants are often completely invisible to us and yet they are present in almost every chemical that we use in our daily life. They are found in toothpastes, cosmetics, sunscreens, mayonnaise, detergents, and an array of cleaning products. Traditional surfactants are known to have adverse environmental impacts spurring research into eco-friendly and cost-effective surfactants from renewable resources. Surfactants from Renewable Raw Materials examines the class ...

An electrical power system consists of a large number of generation, transmission, and distribution subsystems. It is a very large and complex system; hence, its installation and management are very difficult tasks. An electrical system is essentially a very large network with very large data sets. Handling these data sets can require much time to analyze and subsequently implement. An electrical system is necessary but also potentially very dangerous if not operated and controlled properl...
