In common with many other parts of the world, the region of South Eastern Europe (SEE) faces a significant terrorist threat. Countering this threat represents a major security challenge for government agencies in the region and their partners, and although important counterterrorism advances have been made by NATO nations over the past decade, the complex history, geography, culture, socio-economic and political dynamics of the area mean that these advances need to be contextualized and modified to suit the regional situation. This book presents the contributions to the NATO Advanced Training Course (ATC) 'Countering Terrorism in South Eastern Europe' held over five days at Lake Ohrid, Macedonia, in February 2016. The conference hosted presenters from 15 different countries, and government representatives from the nations of the Balkan region, including Macedonia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Kosovo. The course consisted of five central priorities: contemporary global terrorist practices, radicalization processes and recruitment techniques; terrorist use of cyberspace; legal aspects of countering terrorism; building resilient societies; with the final priority concentrating on SEE counterterrorism. Presenters discussed a wide range of topics, including radicalization and cyberterrorism, all aimed at countering the real and evolving threat of terrorism in the region

AbstractThis paper describes the process of biological iron removal with specific reference to the new water‐treatment plant at Grove (near Retford), operated by Anglian Water Services. The reasons for selection of a biological‐treatment process are discussed together with process design, commissioning experiences, and details of plant performance.The raw‐water data suggested that a biological removal process would be feasible and would offer capital cost savings over a conventional aeration and filtration process. Further investigations were carried out in a pilot plant. A summary of the data which were collected during the performance trials is presented, which demonstrates the successful application of the process.

NetWellness is a community-based, consumer-defined grant program supporting the delivery of electronic health information to rural residents of southern Ohio and urban and suburban communities in the Greater Cincinnati tri-state region. NetWellness is a collaboratively developed and publicly and privately funded demonstration project. Information is delivered via ISDN, standard dial, dedicated network connections, and the Internet. TriState Online (Greater Cincinnati's Free-Net) and other southern Ohio Free-Nets are key access points in the larger project communities. The other access points are more than forty workstations distributed at public sites throughout the project's primary geographical area. Design strengths and limitations, training initiatives, technical issues, and the project's impact on medical librarianship are examined in this paper. Also discussed are ways of determining community needs and interest, building political alliances, finding and developing funding sources, and overcoming technical obstacles.

7 pags., 3 figs., 1 tab. -- Open Access funded by Creative Commons Atribution Licence 4.0 ; The first γ-ray spectroscopy of Ar52, with the neutron number N=34, was measured using the K53(p,2p) one-proton removal reaction at ∼210 MeV/u at the RIBF facility. The 21+ excitation energy is found at 1656(18) keV, the highest among the Ar isotopes with N>20. This result is the first experimental signature of the persistence of the N=34 subshell closure beyond Ca54, i.e., below the magic proton number Z=20. Shell-model calculations with phenomenological and chiral-effective-field-theory interactions both reproduce the measured 21+ systematics of neutron-rich Ar isotopes, and support a N=34 subshell closure in Ar52. ; We thank the RIKEN Nishina Center accelerator staff for their work in the primary beam delivery and the Big RIP Steam for preparing the secondary beams.
