Toxicology Biological Monitoring of Metals in Humans

As one of many tasks of an analytical chemistry program sponsored by the office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances Field Studies Branch U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (EPA Prime Contract No. 68-02-3938) Midwest Research Institute (MRI) prepared these summaries of the mammalian toxicology of 52 individual elements (metals and metalloids) and the lanthanides (rare earth elements). MRI is assisting the EPA in developing protocols for the monitoring of selected metals and organic compounds in the blood of the general U. S. population. The monitoring will enable evaluation of changes in the blood levels over time and any trends associated with instituted control measures. This review will help EPA select the metals to be included in the monitoring effort based on toxicity relative exposure and the ability of blood measurements to reflect exposure. | Toxicology Biological Monitoring of Metals in Humans

Golden-winged Warbler Ecology Conservation and Habitat Management

Golden-winged Warbler Ecology Conservation and Habitat Management

Golden-winged Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera) are migratory songbirds that breed in temperate North America primarily in the Great Lakes region with remnant populations throughout the Appalachian Mountains and winter in Central and northern South America. Their breeding range has contracted dramatically in the Appalachian Mountains and many populations have dramatically declined likely due to habitat loss competition and interbreeding with Blue-winged Warblers (Vermivora pinus) andglobal climate change. . As a result of population declines in much of the eastern portion of their breeding range Golden-winged Warblers are listed as endangered or threatened in 10 U. S. states and in Canada and have been petitioned for protection under the U. S. Endangered Species Act. Published in collaboration with and on behalf of The American Ornithological Society this volume in the highly-regarded Studies in Avian Biology series compiles extensive current research on Golden-winged Warblers and summarizes what is known and identifies many remaining unknowns providing a wealth of peer-reviewed science on which future research and listing decisions can be based. | Golden-winged Warbler Ecology Conservation and Habitat Management

Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

Stuxnet to Sunburst: 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyberwarfare takes the reader on a journey from the terrorist attacks of 9/11 onwards and the massive insatiable appetite focus and investment by the Five Eyes agencies in particular the U. S. to build the capability of digital eavesdropping and industrial espionage. With tens of trillions of dollars moving throughout hundreds of thousands of staff and many contractors draining the country of intelligence and technical capability the quest was simple and the outcome horrifying. No one in the world has connected the dots until now. From digital eavesdropping and manipulation of the agencies to Stuxnet this book covers how the world's first use of digital code and digital certificates for offensive purposes against the Iranians and their nuclear power facilities caused collateral damage. Proceeding to today's SolarWinds attack code-named Sunburst the same methods of exploitation and manipulation originally used by the agencies are now being used against companies and governments with devastating effects. The SolarWinds breach has caused knock-on breaches to thousands of client companies including the U. S. government and is estimated to cost more than one trillion dollars. The monster has truly been turned against its creator and due to the lack of security and defence breaches are occurring daily at an alarming rate. The U. S. and UK governments have little to no answer. The book also contains a chapter on breaches within the COVID-19 sector from research to immunisation and the devastating December 2020 breach of SolarWinds. | Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

A Field Guide to Ghost Guns For Police and Forensic Investigations

A Field Guide to Ghost Guns For Police and Forensic Investigations

While it has always been legal for a citizen in the United States to manufacture their own firearm the sale and distribution of such items is illegal under current U. S. law. The primary impediment to individuals making their own weapons has been access to the tooling and machinery required to convert raw materials into finished parts for assembly. However in the last fifteen years this paradigm has changed drastically. Home builders and companies have emerged to support individuals who choose to produce their own firearm. Kits with receivers and gun components are available for hobbyists as are 3-D printable gun designs downloadable from the Internet in some cases. This phenomenon has led to the term ghost guns: firearms whose existence is not reported to any third party and therefore whose existence is unknown and largely untraceable. A Field Guide to Ghost Guns: For Police and Forensic Investigators provides a useful brief for field investigators on the technical aspects of the self-made firearm so-called ghost guns. The first book to focus on the emergent issue of ghost guns coverage addresses the history of firearms making and manufacture in the U. S. —including regulated and nonregulated manufacturing details firearm components and accessories how to assemble a Firearm an overview of common Types of ghost guns and investigative considerations. Though there have been increased calls to regulate guns in the wake of numerous mass shootings the proliferation of ghost guns—and their increasing use in crimes—would likely require additional laws and regulatory measures. Since there are few knowledgeable firearm practitioners in the field who can render qualified opinions on the subject author Robb Walker has taken a practical pragmatic approach to the topic. The book defines terminology provides photographs and explains the concepts surrounding homemade firearm in clear easy to understand terms. Key Features: Addresses the technology and technical aspects in creating assembling and/or modifying homemade firearms—both printable and assembled from pre-fabricated components Discusses the rationale and motivations behind making one’s own firearm Outlines what is currently legal and illegal under U. S. law providing indicators for investigators for illegally configured firearms A Field Guide to Ghost Guns addresses the pressing need for a practical reference on the topic. The book provides police investigators and forensic ballistics experts a useful aid to understand legal aspects and to identify ghost guns and the paraphernalia—tooling and machinery and otherwise—indicative of gun making in a non-formal factory setting. | A Field Guide to Ghost Guns For Police and Forensic Investigations
