This result is exciting, in part because it suggests that something inherently positive — wider representation and democracy — is also conducive to eco -nomic growth.

Seven of the most import -ant, hard-to-hit targets needed to be targeted with a probability of 97 per -cent, 213 targets with 95 percent, 592 targets with 90 percent and 715 targets with 80 percent. 5 Raise the required level of destruction — that raised the required number of weapons

A group of roughly 140 scientists (as well as lawyers and physicians) met at The Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA in February 1975 to draft voluntary guidelines for research on recombinant DNA. The meeting set stringent standards to ensure research on recombinant DNA could proceed without endangering public health

The training in electri -cal engineering necessary to contribute in the industry — generally considered to require a Ph.D. and significant time gaining hands-on experience — is a heavier burden than the comparatively relaxed investment of time needed to break into software, where salaries are similarly high and no one needs to spend their days wrap...

One part of the nuclear war plan called for destroying the Soviet tank army. As a result, JSTPS aimed a lot of weapons at not only the tanks themselves, but also the factory that produced the tanks, the steel mill that supplied the factory, the ore-processing facility that supplied the steel mill, and the mine that furnished the ore.

By 1960, the U.S. war plan called for launching the entire nuclear arse -nal — at the time, 3,423 weapons, exploding with the blast power of 7,847 megatons — against 1,043 tar -gets in the Soviet Union, its satellite countries in Eastern Europe and Communist China. 3 This was not a plan to strike back if the Soviets launched a nuclear attack on the...

A: Let’s talk about delay, then. How do you think we can delay scientists from discovering these pandemic-capable agents? K: There are two ways that are the most promising. Number one: we can find a way to make people liable for causing catastrophe. We can set the bar very high, say, something like 10 million deaths worldwide — direct or indirect —... See more

o, in 1964, McNamara declared a new nuclear policy, stating — in very similar terms to the Navy’s strategy of a few years earlier — that the U.S. needed only enough weapons to kill roughly 30 per -cent of the Soviet Union’s population and half of its industrial capacity. At that point, all of the major cities would be destroyed; launching any more ... See more

Almost uniformly, the starting point is one of very low power. That’s true for psychology in general, clinical and sports and exercise psychology in particular, ecology, global change biology (the field that studies how ecosystems are impacted by climate change), eco -nomics, and political science.
