Punjab 370 for 8 (Yuvraj 136, Jiwanjot 68, Gurkeerat 57,Sanklecha 3-75) lead Maharashtra 210 by 160 runs
Yuvraj Singh's scintillating knock of 136 runs, and his two century partnerships with Jiwanjot Singh and Gurkeerat Singh for the fourth and fifth wicket, respectively, put Punjab on course of for taking away maximum points against Maharashtra. At the end of the second day's play, Punjab had cruised to 370 for 8, with a lead of 160 runs, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Gahunje.
Soon after being excluded from India's World Cup probables a fortnight ago, Yuvraj had scored a match-winning century against Haryana, before pulling out of last week's game in Vidarbha. The break, however, did not hamper his touch as he played one of his trademark fluent knocks to first rescue Punjab and then put them on top.
He came in to bat with Punjab in some trouble. The side had lost Amitoze Singh and Mandeep Singh to some spirited bowling by Maharashtra pacers in favourable conditions and at 57 for 3 were still 153 runs behind the hosts' first-innings total. Yuvraj adopted a safety-first approach, scoring just a single off the first 18 balls he faced. Though the Maharashtra bowlers tied him down with full-pitched balls on a grassy turf, they did not try any short-pitched stuff.
Then came the first of numerous cover drives. Anupam Sanklecha bowled a fuller ball wide of off-stump and Yuvraj drew his front foot to the pitch of the ball, which raced to the boundary. He followed it up with another stylish boundary in the same over. That set the tone for the rest of the morning session and lunch, Yuvraj was well-set. His 40 runs had eight scintillating boundaries, six of which were scored through the covers.
Jiwanjot Singh, who has emerged as a reliable anchor for Punjab, also grew in confidence and played a perfect straight-drive off Anupam Sanklecha just before lunch. At the break, Punjab had moved to 116 for 3.
Three balls into the second session, Jiwanjot celebrated his fifty and three overs later, Yuvraj got to his half-century by pulling a waist-high delivery by Shrikant Mundhe through square-leg for his tenth four. His first fifty came off 74 balls and the second was even quicker as Yuvraj cut loose in the second session.
Despite losing Jiwanjot, who missed a straight one from Sanklecha after the duo had added 112 runs, Yuvraj kept on taking a toll on Maharashtra's bowlers. Samad Fallah was overused by skipper Rohit Motwani in the first two sessions, while Akshay Darekar, their lead spinner, was introduced into the attack only in the 51st over.
Soon after hitting offspinner Chirag Khurana into the stands over long-on, Yuvraj entered the nineties with a single that also gave Punjab the lead. With Gurkeerat matching him stroke for stroke, Yuvraj crossed his second successive, and 22nd first-class hundred, with a sweep off Darekar between the deep square leg and deep midwicket. The second fifty came in just 54 balls, and included eight fours and a six.
With Gurkeerat and Yuvraj scoring at over five runs an over, Maharashtra were in danger of being batted out of the game. Gurkeerat completed his fifty off the last ball before tea with a boundary off Rahul Tripathi, third of the over. But Kedar Jadhav latched on to a sharp chance off Mundhe's bowling soon after tea to end another 112-run association.
Yuvraj continued to be aggressive after tea, but appeared to slow as the session wore, a likely after-effect of a throat infection and fever. It resulted in a tired cover drive off Darekar which went straight into Vijay Zol's hands at covers.
The Punjab lower order then continued to score freely, even though Maharashtra seamers picked three wickets with the new ball. Yuvraj was happy to rescue his team for the second time in three weeks and also help them get an upper hand.
"When I went in, we were under pressure and we needed a partnership. I was lucky to get through that tough phase," Yuvraj said, referring to his cautious approach early on. "On days when you get this kind of track and when you are batting well, you are happy when you don't nick them."
He stated that the two hundreds in the tournament so far had come in contrasting conditions. "That [Patiala] was a turning track and here it was helping seamers a lot, so I am glad that I could score a hundred and put our team on top."

Here, we bring you the ten most common Perl Interview Questions that can help you succeed in your next interview.
1. Define Perl.
Perl is not an official acronym, but it stands for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. It is a family of high-level programming languages constituting of Perl 5 and Perl 6.
2. Tell us about the feature that provides code reusability in Perl.
The inheritance feature of Perl provides code reusability. In this feature, the child class can use the property and methods of the parent class.
3. Cite the benefits of Perl.
Perl can be used to handle ecommerce transactions as well as encrypted web data. It is simple to use, and is, therefore, one of the most common programming languages. Its text manipulation abilities, as well as the rapid development cycle, make it a favorable program.
4. Tell us about the data types in Perl.
There are three types of data that Perl supports, namely scalars, hashes of scalars, and arrays of scalars.
5. How would you declare a variable?
Perl variables do not have to be expressly declared. In fact, such a declaration takes place automatically as soon as you assign a value to a variable.
You may also like:
6. What do you know about range operator?
The range operator is used to create sequential arrays in Perl.
7. What is the benefit of warnings in Perl?
Perl warnings are a basic way to figure out the quality of code that you have produced. While optional warnings indicate the probability of an anomaly, mandatory warnings signify problems at the lexical analysis level.
8. Tell us about the grep function.
The grep function assesses a block or an 'expr' for each element of the list. It adds the element to the sequence of returning values for every statement that is returned as true.
9. What is circular reference?
A circular reference takes place when two references have a reference to one another. While creating circular references, it is important to proceed carefully since a circular reference can also lead to memory leaks.
10. How would you define CPAN?
CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. It is a collection of all the software as well as the documents relevant to Perl. Programmers can access them easily in order to avoid any difficulty while using the programming language.
Besides above questions, you can also study the following Perl Interview Questions before your interview.
• What are the disadvantages of Perl? • Explain the various arguments for Perl interpreter. • Tell us about the different types of Perl operators. • What is grooving and shortening of arrays? • What do you understand by prefix dereferencer? • Explain the Chomp function • How would you avid logic errors in Perl? • Tell us how polymorphism works in Perl by giving examples. • What are conditional structures and how do they function? • How would you put information in hashes in Perl?
Treat these questions as your comprehensive guide for clearing the interview. Focus on the concepts and ensure that you are well versed with the latest developments with respect to the Perl programming language.

General The Centre for Land Warfare Studies, in association with SP Guide Publications, organised a one-day seminar on Network Centric Warfare (NCW) in the Indian Context on 21 April 2011 at Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi. Held in four sessions, the conference looked at various aspects of the subject by noted experts. While Dr VK Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister, delivered the Keynote Address, Lt Gen Mohapatra, SO-in-C, gave the Valedictory Address. The seminar was well attended by serving and retired officers of all three Services, scientists, and members of the corporate world and strategic community. On the occasion, the second issue of the journal Scholar Warrior published by CLAWS was released.
Inaugural Session
Welcome Address: Brig Gurmeet Kanwal (Retd), Director CLAWS This seminar is a joint effort by the Centre for Land Warfare Studies and SP Guide Publications. Net Centric Warfare is an important facet for present day and future conflict scenarios and remains an important subject for study. We at CLAWS have consistently been engaged in the study of NCW and towards this end we have had a series of conferences and meetings which have also resulted in a book. Today we have a galaxy of speakers to look at specific aspects of NCW and its relevance in the Indian context. We are also fortunate to have Dr Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to the Raksha Mantri, to deliver the Keynote Address.
Keynote Address: Dr VK Saraswat, SA to the RM I have been privy to many developments in this field, especially in the Indian context. With the advent of micro technologies, there is an era of new revolution. They transformed from Systems in the 1970s to System of Systems in the 1980s to Family of Systems in the beginning of the 21st Century; presently there is a Global Information Grid. The Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network that is able to provide telecommunication services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoSenabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and/or services of their choice. It supports generalised mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users. Military NGN lies in multiple layers of convergence, which include Application Convergence, Network Convergence and Service Convergence. Here, IP is the core that provides authorised users with a seamless, secure, and interconnected information environment, meeting real-time needs of NCW. NCW is the key enabling concept that underpins the countrys Military Future Joint Operations Concept. It does not, however, dictate how the military intends to fight. The militarys NCW capability will provide the means for transition from a network aware force to seamless, network-enabled, information-age force. It translates information advantage into a decisive war fighting advantage. Information advantage is characterised by shared battle space awareness, shared knowledge of commanders intent, self-synchronisation, speed of command, and rapid lockout. Integrated command and control of networked forces provides a common operational picture and reduced Fog of War. It provides shared and significantly increased Situational Awareness (SA) for the Commander, Subordinate Commanders, and individual war fighters. This enhances decision making both in terms of speed and quality of decisions. It also increases tactical agility and significantly reduces risks. Satellite technologies of the future are critical to military operations. Satellites in general are becoming more capable, with higher power and larger aperture antennas to
promote frequency re-use and creating highly capable super-computers-in-the-sky. With electronically formed beams, the beam patterns can be re-formed on command to respond to needs at different times of day, or of changing requirements that emerge in response to market demand. Future technologies include Advanced Phased Array Antennas, Dynamic Beam Management, Advanced Antenna Systems, more efficient power systems, Turbo-coding, Advanced Modems, and new materials for light weight antennas (Inflatable Antennas). In the Indian context, future NCW involves three domains: Information Domain: It has disruption technologies to create theatre or battle space blind spots. These include cyber warfare, anti-satellite weapons, under water warfare, and directed energy weapons. Physical Domain: It involves contact-less wars, missile warfare, submarine warfare, directed energy weapons and space control weapons. Cognitive and Social Domain: It comprises asymmetric strategies, tactics and operational plans, doctrine to match threat assessments, local and limited conflicts under nuclear hangover.
Session 1 NCW and the Indian Armed Forces: The Present Status and Concerns
Tri-Service Effect Based Operations - Brig LB Chand, VSM, DACIDS JCES (Ops), HQ IDS The integration of communications is taking place at the strategic level. All networks are designed and intended towards a target. The integration is taking place Corps HQ downwards and thereafter at the lateral level. Each network/usage of technology varies between Army, Navy and Air Force. Effect Based Operations (EBOs) are considered
one rung up higher in net-centricity as they are better conceptualised and quantified in todays context. Implementation of this strategy was put into effect for the first time by the US. The USAF during the Gulf Air Campaign used EBOs that came to be known as Parallel Operations. The military and leadership is targeted sequentially in EBOs. Air Defence mechanism along with leadership as well as vital installations are also targeted simultaneously. EBOs could be defined as a parallel campaign, targeting the full spectrum of the adversary (DIME-diplomatic, informational, military and economic) with the aim of achieving a pre-determined effect. EBOs are conceived and planned in a systems framework that considers the full range of direct, indirect, and cascading effects, which may, with different degrees of probability, be achieved by the application of military, diplomatic, psychological, and economic instruments. EBOs therefore, are a coordinated set of actions aimed at shaping the behaviour in times of peace, crises and war. EBOs are a paradigm shift from Networks to Networking; the tenets of EBOs are as follows: Networked Operations Faster Targeting Network enabled force in physical and cognitive domain leads to a shorter observe-orient- decide- act loop. More Efficient Attrition operations are target/objective based and enable optimum selection and utilization of the weapon system. Man Out of the Loop More efficient attrition is obtained by taking man out of the loop. Networking EBOs Tackle both social and physical connectivity to achieve a desired effect. Dealing with exploiting complexities of security, defence, economic and social.
Supporting Man in the Loop The effects (both positive and negative) spiral into an avalanche effect once the leadership is targeted. As a concept, EBOs are still evolving with different tracks being followed. Effect Based Targeting Primarily employed by the Air Force. EBOs - Determine an end state Army Commanders work towards defining an objective and along with supporting commanders effectively employ their resources to accomplish that end state (effect). Shaping the Behaviour of Friends, Foes and Neutrals Military/ Political/ Diplomatic/ Economic Means. EBOs would target the political, social and physical targets, leading to a desired effect both physical and behavioural by employment of full spectrum of national potential political, military, economic, social, infrastructure and information. In the Indian context, EBOs are inclusive of a Grand Strategy which, deals with the full range of issues associated with the pursuit of national interests; encompassing diplomatic, information, military and economic strategy of the nation. Accordingly, there are four levels of war described as follows: Grand Strategy Level Joint Vision describing the national security objectives by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). Military Strategic Level Deals with the application of military resources to achieve the national security objectives (Higher Defence Organisation). Operational Level The link between the strategic and tactical level and provides connection between the military strategic objectives and tactical employment of forces. Tactical Level The level at which unit/sub-unit operations are conducted; this level focuses upon the application of combat power to defeat the enemy. In conclusion, the critical areas requiring focus in reference to the subject are policy on interconnect and integration of service networks, applications, intelligence and information and government-level organisational set-up. Insofar as the Indian score card is concerned, it could be placed at best at 55.58 per cent.
Indian Armys March towards Net Centric Warfare: Maj Gen DV Kalra, VSM, (Retd) former ADGIS Technology has widely affected the battlefield environment in last few decades. The technological boom in todays battlefield milieu has contributed towards increased intelligence and surveillance capabilities. Technological advancement has provided enhanced weapon range, accuracy and lethality. Technology has also culminated in improved data transmission with increased volumes with high speeds. The impact of technology has provided us with faster processors and miniaturisation. Network centric warfare is an information superiority-enabled concept that generates increased combat power by robust networking of sensors, decision-makers and shooters to achieve shared situational awareness, increased speed of command, higher tempo of operations, focused application of fire and increased survivability, which leads to enhanced mission effectiveness. Network centric warfare involves transforming information superiority into combat power by effectively linking knowledgeable entities in the battlespace. operational level. It generates precise war fighting effects at high tempo at the NCW focuses on co-relation between speedy attainment of
operational level aims and strategic objectives. Information Technology (IT) vision of the Indian Army includes transformation into a dynamic network centric force, achieving information superiority through effective management of information technology. Indian Army has made adequate progress in Geo Information System (GIS) which provides the spatial orientation and context to the OIS and MIS system. It forms the base over which the other functionalities and applications ride. The modern GIS system includes features of network analysis, 3D visualisation, flythrough & simulation. A few of them also possess the image processing and change detection. Army Strategic Operational Information Dissemination System (ASTROIDS) is a secure information dissemination system which connects Army Headquarters with Command and Corps Headquarters for exchange of terrain, operations intelligence and logistics information.
Command Information and Decision Support System (CIDSS) is the hub centre of tactical C3I which connects Corps headquarters to infantry battalion. It has computer nodes linked through suitable communication media and provides processed information to commanders and staff on terrain, operational, intelligence and logistics functions for decision making. Battlefield Support System (BSS) has been developed to provide an automated data fusion of surveillance devices and operational information system to commanders at field force level so as to facilitate decision making in battle in near real time. Artillery Combat Command and Control System (ACCCS) and Air Defence Control and Reporting System (ADC&RS) are in their advance stage of development. Indian Army is making conscientious efforts to overcome various challenges thrown by fielding of new system.
NCW: Strategic to the Tactical: Col KPM Das (Retd), Vice President, National Security and Defense Solutions, CISCO The levels of war are doctrinal perspectives that clarify the links between strategic objectives and tactical actions. There are no finite limits or boundaries between the levels of war; strategic, operational, and tactical (SOT) and the levels of war are not necessarily associated with specific levels of command, size of units, types of equipment, or types of forces or components. However, certain commands tend to operate at particular levels of war, e.g. Army Commands typically operate at the strategic and operational levels of war while a Corps will typically operate at the operational and tactical levels of war. Actions are strategic, operational, or tactical based on their effect or contribution to achieving strategic, operational, or tactical objectives. It is difficult to decide exactly where a strategic movement ends and a tactical movement begins, yet in conception the two are distinct. NCW can be easily equated to preparation for a good and well planned game of football to draw out relevant inferences. Both have few rules and few opportunities to restart play on favorable terms. In both cases every player to be aware of the field, the person who is controlling the ball, where the ball is on the field, capabilities and positions of
own and rival players and dynamic interactions of these factors. Both NCW and game of football teach fresh players to play specific, limited roles, standard/copybook situations. Mature players are given more freedom, more responsibilities, with an aim to create positional advantage to own team. At the highest level of the game or NCW, play is fully fluid with complex moves and changing. Both situations demand ability to sense, react and attack with minimal verbal communications. NCW poses a varied set of challenges which necessitate due attention of command and staff at all times. Some of them are asunder: Bandwidth is as much a resource as ammunition and Spectrum is as much a resource as weapons. There is a need to Include separate section in Operational Orders (OO) of formations. There is also an urgent need to include equivalent of G6 in Div Staff (Signals) responsible for bandwidth, spectrum and cyber-security. Convergence of ICT, Cyber security and Information Security under single agency in the battlefield and mutual synergies. Reach to information is related to richness of information. Richness of information helps quality of interactions. The information should be finally available to the soldier on ground in a simple usable form. NCW is not a technical game as most of us think it to be. It cannot be left to few highly technical persons in the organisation. Technology has to be inducted into everyone involved in the system. Training with network-centricarchitecture is necessary for readiness into battle.
Session II: Future Prospects and Challenges for NCW Chairperson: Lt Gen VK Kapoor, PVSM (Retd), SP Guide Publications Before we delve into the concept of Net centric warfare (NCW), it is important to look at its foundation. It is the concept of operation to achievce out strategic objective of war with least amount of tactical force. More importantly, NCW needs to be used skillfully. The future wars between two states under the nuclear hangover is highly unlikely. The Indian Army was not even allowed to cross the border during the Kargil War. If this is the reality, then what kind of wars are we looking at for in the future? Undoubtedly, the arrow points at NCW. At this juncture, its important to question that what is the kind of force that will be used in this warfare and it is imperative to ready the forces for other types of conflicts. NCW compels us to think big with small, precise and effective force.
Network-centric operations extending from the ground up to space renders obsolete the traditional dividing line between strategic and tactical operations, enabling hitherto distinct levels of war to be merged into simultaneous, precise and carefully orchestrated operations aimed at nerve centres of leadership and command and control at the very outset of hostilities. Towards achieving network centricity, it is essential to chart out a road map for the future to discard technology that we do not require or are not suitable for our operational environment. For instance, we should not blindly follow other countries in acquiring new technologies. Security challenges faced by India are different from other countries therefore their technologies may not be always tailor-made for our conditions.
Characteristics of a Network-Centric Environment in an Indian environment. Perils of Emulating US Example The US follows a different charter and may not be always applicable to the Indian environment. Therefore, we should create our own list of effects and what technologies are required. Staff and Line Functions There is a need to redefine Staff and Line Functions. Everyone in the hierarchy should be treated with the same professional faith and communication from bottom to top must also be given credence. Access to Information As there is a constant flow of information from multiple sources, there is a need to rethink existing guidelines. Time the Fourth Dimension In addition to aerospace, surface and sub-surface operations, time has evolved as the critical fourth dimension of warfare. Realtime transfer of data, communication and Battle-field damage assessment (BDA) reports have become vital in deciding the outcome of a conflict. The key technologies for a Network-Centric Environment are: Intelligence, Surveillance and Recce (ISR), Image Intelligence (IMINT) and Data Fusion, Self Reliance Through Development of Key Technologies Like CCDs & Processing Speed, Data Transfer Satellite to Ground, Data Transfer Between Ground Stations, Manned Aircraft, UAVs and Satellites, Homogeneity of Ground Sea Aerospace, Architecture and Procedures for Interaction in a Network-Centric Environment and Information Security. Training and HRD are other important facets as ultimately it is the man behind the machine who controls the technology. In the emerging network-centric environment it is essential to integrate data transfers from varied platforms on one network. There is tremendous amount of data going up and down. Homogeneity ground-sea-aerospace mediums have to be achieved. The Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS), AWACS and Data Linking projects of the IAF are examples of integration of all ground radars with airborne platforms like AWACS and interceptor aircraft, through a complex system of data transfer and communications involving fiber-optic lines
communication systems would, ideally, need to be tailor-made for a networkcentric environment; a system for J&K may be fundamentally different from a system for Andaman & Nicobar area. A Joint HQ integrating the audit trail, IW and security and Security plan controlling flow of information and data to all component HQs in flat structure is proposed for conducting future operations.
The Way Ahead Integrate and use what we have. Use available tools with imagination and innovation. Your goals start from your war plans; divide them into achievable modules while maintaining your capability. Address each module separately; but make each module open-ended for subsequent integration. Plan small changes incrementally, easier on fiscal planning; ensure the organisation is comfortable with the change. In each module, identify key effects, and through them the technologies required to achieve those effects. Plan for and integrate obsolescence. Though we may be far from jointness, ensure our equipment isnt, as thats what will take time. National capability is a must; but not at the cost of wasted time; procure if required, with follow-up engineering.
Cybersecurity Trust, Visiblity, Resilience: Harvinder S Rajwant, VP, Borderless Network Security, CISCO With the Indian Armed Forces procuring newer hardware and equipments, more and more communication devices are added every year to the inventory. With this, the
vulnerability of these devices to spoofing and interception for political, military and economic gains have also increased. A large number of IT and IP (Internet Protocol) enabled devices are in use by the Armed Forces. Even devices such as mobile phones, even without internet access are susceptible to data theft and monitoring. For instance, the recent Stuxnet virus was designed for a Siemens software and was not Internetbased. In the event of the above, cyber security and security of armed forces communications has assumed vital importance in an environment where our adversaries are constantly making efforts at breaching the security walls of the communication and information networks of the country. According to a news report China has a yearly budget of $55 and over 10,000 hackers dedicated to carry out hacking activities. It is essential to have cyber security mechanisms that build safety within the internal communication networks of the armed forces and detect hacking or attempts at intrusions. The electronic espionage activity can then be isolated without interrupting of affecting the mission critical operations. Traditionally we designed our networks as entities within silos the enterprise with its perimeter with external facing applications, internal operations, and everything was secured. Today, the increasingly broad range of devices we are using (MACs, PCs, iPhones, smartphones) requires us to reconsider the Device Border. Another shift happening is the application border: Software as a service, video, cloud. You want your applications to work everywhere, regardless of device or location. We have to adopt the correct approach to cyber security where Identifying and managing the resources that have access to information assets is critical to establishing a state of trust in any organisation; prevent and detect threats by ensuring visibility in the enterprise information spectrum and having resilience or the ability to respond and recover from breaches and disruptions. As General Keith B. Alexander, Commander, US Cyber Command said: "We need real time situational awareness in our networks to see where something bad is happening and take action there at that time. That is both a coordination issue amongst the
services and agencies, and a situational awareness issue. We do not have a common operational picture for our networks. We need to get there. We need to build that. No single company can solve the complex challenge presented by the Internet but steps have to be taken by all stake holders involved in achieving or enabling networkcentricity to achieve a secure communication environment.
With the changing nature of warfare, it is important to keep pace with the emerging technologies in the market. While commercial evolution remains unprecedented, the evolution in terms of the defence of the country remains far behind. At this juncture, one can easily utilise the benefits of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technologies. Following are the drivers for adopting COTS technologies: More capacity More proven quality Less cost Shorter delivery times Drives the NEW technology
Undoubtedly, one cannot ignore the specific requirements demanded and needed by the defence forces of the country. Following are a few important defence requirements: Military Frequency band Security requirements Transec which includes protection against jamming and interception Comsec comprises of encryption throughout the lifetime of equipment Rugged equipment, environment requirement Autonomous communication and mobility for Tactical communication
As the commercial sector is becoming more and more service oriented, their needs are becoming similar to the needs of the defence forces. In other words, the commercial sector capabilities are approaching military needs. Following are a few aspects: Security - Social media, banking and more... All is done over your cell phone Scalability - Smaller cells, islands of extra capacity, frequency re-use Mobility - Cell phones and laptops rather than fixed phones and desktops Availability - Online 24/7 IP based networks - Services are being designed for IP based networks Increased data capacity - 1 Mb/s of IP data to all users in the network Flexibility - Future proof, one system fits all, layered architecture
One can also see the transformation towards IP Network. Because of the introduction of multiple services and needed interoperability between services and units, the needs of the defence forces like prioritisation, quality of services (Security, IP introduces new security risks), voice Services (interoperability to legacy systems and quality of services) and autonomous operation are becoming important even for the commercial firms and services. To illustrate, the third generation (3G) HSPA network can be used by the defence forces purely because it is portable, rapidly deployable and supports autonomous operation. Other 3G-based FWS characteristics are: Autonomous operation Commercial spectrum 2100 MHz 30 min. Initial commissioning at staging area Power up in a few minutes one button operation Capable of forming a community network for extended coverage (network of 10 systems) 3G Video calls High Speed Data (HSPA support)
The trend is towards COTS and All IP as it brings more capacity at lower cost and are approaching military needs and brings enhanced benefits (3G). Discussion A number of infra-red and other applications based surveillance solutions are available for deployment in the areas infested with Left-Wing Extremism in the country. UAVs are available to transfer real-time information but in certain areas restrictions can be imposed by terrain and lack of accessibility. There is a need to increase jointness and build inter-operability between all the three services and process information seamlessly. Using COTS technology has its own ramifications. For instance, are systems that integrate with integrate with existing equipments available. COTS is not a solution in IT security. Security and the extent of ruggedness of the equipment are other disadvantages in using off the shelf technology. But in the absence of solutions available domestically, sometimes there are no options but to buy off the shelf. Encrypting internal networks and hard disk/USB drives can prevent breaches by external agents. CIDSS should include a feedback loop where there is flow of communication up the chain, ie, from the soldier to the commander. There are a large number of politically and commercially motivated targeted operations launched clandestinely by players all over the world. Even non-internet based applications or isolated networks are prone to breaching. Today, technology may be available in the civilian domain prior to being used by the military. These devices may already be embedded therefore comprising their security parameters.
Concluding Remarks by Chairperson In todays operating environment there is a need to have flatter organisations and evolve joint concepts and joint war fighting doctrines. The doctrines on paper are unmatched on the ground. This gap has to be breached. Induction of new technology is extremely slow and it may impact future operations. There is a need to build test beds for experimenting with joint network platforms. Effect-based operations (EBO) should have an inter-agency construct that would include all the players including the political, diplomatic and intelligence components within the theatre of operations.
Concluding Remarks: Brig Gurmeet Kanwal (Retd), Director, CLAWS Former US President George W Bush launched an education policy called No Child Left Behind. But in the Indian nation, insofar as the communications field is concerned, one child, ergo, the armed forces, has been left behind. The country has grand plans for the distant future, but nowhere close to realising them in the near future. Valedictory Address: Lt Gen P Mohapatra, PVSM, AVSM, ADC, SO-in-C In the realm of net centric operations, the issues which come to mind are increased situational awareness, shortening of the OODA loop, focused logistics, the ability for precision strikes etc. These all stem from net centricity and are all oriented towards the intent of essentially improving mission effectiveness. Two important components of the transformation of a force to net centricity are: 1- The capability and development required to become net centric: India has approximately 15000 km of land borders and 7500 km of coastal borders, including island territories. It is faced with two very powerful potential adversaries, with whom it has waged a large number of conflicts and wars. Net centricity in the Indian
domain therefore, would be unlike, net centricity in the West, where it has been employed to an extent, for the forces of the West have been pitched against relatively weaker adversaries. In addition, net centricity at lower levels of integration at the battalion level - is easier than at the level of a brigade, division or corps. One must also be cognisant of the fact that almost half of Indias 1.3 million-strong force is perennially deployed in operations, whether on the International Border (IB), Line of Control (LC), Line of Actual Control (LAC) or in counterinsurgency/counterterrorism (CI/CT) operations. Many of these operations are in extremely remote and inhospitable areas with sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, when one speaks of net centricity in the Indian context, the geo-diversity of deployment, the operational imperatives and the force the Indian armed forces are pitted against, must be kept in mind. The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) has directed that India to be prepared to fight across the entire spectrum of conflict. This would include the gamut from positional, to attrition, to maneuver, to asymmetric, to virtual all under a nuclear overhang. And as in the instance of Operation Vijay, it may even sometimes be operations reminiscent of those engaged in the First World War. The geo-diversity previously spoken of, combined with the continuous changes in technology and the requirements of the users (the change in which is a consequence of the change in technology) has driven the armed forces to a large number of disparate systems and networks, ranging from those based on OFC, microwaves, mobile cellular technology, satellites and so on. Therefore, capability development, insofar as net centricity is concerned, would be a major area of focus. 2- The exploitation of net centricity to achieve operational effectiveness: Net centricity is not a goal in itself. No force can talk of being entirely net-centric. It is necessarily an evolving process. It is not as much about networks but a co-evolution of all aspects of command and control, training, human resources, logistics, and operations. Therefore, it is less about networks and more about networking. In the cognitive domain, there is a reduction in the OODA loop, and diminished time for decision-making. Also, there would also be, notwithstanding checks and balances put in place, an information overflow, resulting in decision-making becoming more complex than earlier. The fog of war, under these conditions, may manifest in a different form,
because of the information overload. The fear of scrutiny of decision-making is also very important. When the entire organisational hierarchy is so transparent and visible, it may also result in tempering the commanders in their decision-making. The hierarchy of decision-making as observed in the past may be affected. There may be a tendency of either higher commanders trying to influence battles/operations, or lower commanders bypassing their responsibilities and passing on the decision-making process to higher commanders. Some other issues to contend with are susceptibility of both communications and non-communications to electronic warfare - cyber operations are also a growing threat. Notwithstanding the necessary checks and balances, as the threat grows, so does the vulnerability. Therefore, it is a continuous process. With regard to the sustenance of the network, in terms of bandwidth demand, there is a limitation of spectrum availability, even in the US. These are linked issues, which will have to be contended with. The prioritisation of infrastructure to support net-centricity ought to be paramount. Subsequently, a convergence of networks is required for full spectrum interoperability a network of networks. India will have to adapt its traditional methods of command and control with protection of networks from electronic warfare and cyber attacks. Last, but not the least, honing of HR skills is an equally important aspect. Many of these issues are being currently addressed, but are perhaps not being broadcast as such in the public domain. The very existence of a network in place would be a great driver towards jointness. In the absence of the internet, one didn't feel its need. Once it was available, one saw the opportunities it opened up. Consequently, once the defence communications network, which is a tri-service network, is in place, it will add to inter-service synergy in a significant way.

Recieved 15th August 2018
JVA Köln, Thursday, 2nd August 2018
Hey there dearest comrades and friends, there's something about prison that makes me feel a lot older than I am. Although, having been twenty three for only a couple of months, and as far as I know only this once (for anyone who believes in reincarnation), what does twenty three feel like? Is it supposed to feel like this, or should it feel different? Is age like Russian dolls, each year layered on the next or is it a new thing in itself? A year passed, a new year born. For me, twenty three was born in an isolation cell, as twenty two nodded their goodbye. This is the first time I have felt different in a new year, not just the old with a new word to say when asked, "so how old are you?" Twenty three feels unlike me. It is me – it must be, I still look the same – but so not me. I think if I met myself before prison, I would not, or would barely, recognise this me. So, does that mean I am still me, or am I somebody else? Now I wonder, if thirteen year old me could meet me at twenty three, what would they say? Would they be proud, or afraid? Would they want to grow up to this, to become the person I am now? Maybe I should think about my core, the nature of myself, instead of the much growing over it. I am what I stand for. It is what I stand on. In the court room, as I heard "nine months", I say one person put their head in their hands. I wanted to rush over, to hug them, tell them it will be okay. But then, anger, more than I have ever felt, to wish the worst upon the judge, as they say I am "the example" to hurt my friends. It felt like my heart stopped in my chest. This worries me. It is human to feel angry, but this inhumane anger, purity and strength of it, is beyond me. I've been a volunteer for over a decade and suddenly I felt violence. Violent anger. Chaos and riot anger. The kind that swings a bat, and pops a bubble of gum in front of a burning building, smiling because they lit the match, and enjoy the warmth. The kind, I suppose, a loyal dog feels when someone threatens their guardian. A low growl, a rumble in the chest, teeth bared, hackles raised. I'm trying to work out if this is me, or if this is what I have become, and if those two things are separate or the same thing. Is it now me, because I allowed it and accepted it? Or is it not me, because I can reason that I felt it, but can tell the feeling I do not wish to allow it to consume me? Although, I suppose, if I must think "this is not me" then it must be me, or I would not need to reason why it isn't. So, was this always me, or is it just me now? And this both bothers and concerns me. Perhaps as I get less now, I feel I have less to give. The toll of watching people come and go, of feeling like I'm always saying goodbye. Of being left behind. The lack of permanence of people. Three weeks ago I had five friends, and on Monday all five of them will have gone free. I have one "permanent" friend not in these five, but they rarely have the time to spend with me, being a house worker they barely get much of their own time. There have been times my lungs have felt so tight, like a sponge crushed in a fist, that I could barely breath from how much I am sick of goodbyes, of being so miserably sad that a friend is gone, while also being so thrilled for them that they can go home, whatever that means to them. I don't mean to sound bitter or angry, I am not, I'm just so tired of finding someone to connect with, only to watch them pack and see their cell filled by an unknown face. I shouldn't complain, people in this house have been through this more than me. Some have been here nearly a year and a half, seventeen months. Nine isn't so bad. Nine should feel easy in comparison. It's not one year, or two, or five. It's not "sixty months" as a someone here has. Maybe my anger is being born out of frustration. That people here hear you, but don't really listen. That everything is very literally same shit, different day. Every conversation is the same. Silence is deafening, so everyone always feels like they have to fill it. The worst is watching people slowly go mad, in a very real sense, watch sanity slip through their fingers like grains of sand. Sometimes I feel it too, flashes of lucidity, and then numbness. I mean, why bother to force yourself to feel awake, when some days this just feels like a repetitive bad dream? And then, in the lucid moments, I think, "only this many days to go". But the suddenly it's been another week. Maybe I'm not losing time though, maybe because there is so much nothing here my brain just stopped bothering to remember the days. Days are long, weeks are short. Maybe today is just an off day. I haven't "connected" enough to other people. No Freistunde, and I don't go to Umschluss. Today is a day of minimal contact. This should bother me more, I think, but it doesn't. I just think, "it is what it is, and I will handle it." Today I will deal with my thoughts, as best I can, and I might finish the book I'm reading. And I will do the same tomorrow, and the day after, and each day until December, when I can go free. There are far worse things than isolation, to me at least. Far worse is the loss of generosity; of an open heart, of trust and care. If "growing up", of becoming a "real adult" or whatever, feeling the ability to believe in the good of people starting to stand on shaky ground. A rise in suspicion, of people asking questions, and not being so sure of the answer. One person asked me if I knew any of my visitors before prison and I said no. They were shocked and concerned, why didn't I interrogate them? Why would they come to visit me? This never occurred to me. I was just so happy to have visitors, people kind enough to visit some "unknown person", and sit with me for half an hour and ask if I needed anything to make it easier to be here. So why would I say "hey, umm, why are you visiting me?" I've found out the German word for poison is "Gift". I feel it is appropriate to say "Das Gefängnis Gift", or "the prison poison" in English. It is poison being here, it is toxic. But I wonder, which is more toxic? The people, or the place? I usually feel worse talking to people, staff and other prisoners, than I feel when I am alone. I like to be alone, it's easier. I feel more like "me". But I'm sure I've said that before, so I won't continue. I hate writing these, I always feel like I say too much, or they are so negative you can barely stand to read them. But then, what do I do? Not write? And then feel the wall of isolation build up further, because who would write to me if I'm not writing to them? I've had one postcard in nearly two weeks. No other post. Trying to think "surely people are writing..." is starting to feel dumb. Surely someone is, or I'd like to think they are. Or maybe you guys are all so tired of these long letters about nothing that you just think "ugh". So maybe I won't write for a while. Give you guys a break from same shit, different letter. I'm okay though, despite everything I've written. Just tired at the moment really, like I need a good nap. Maybe everything will be better when I wake up. I love you all, more than I can say. Hugs and rage. Stay safe, stay strong, stay BRAVE. Keep fighting. <3 UPIII

Workplace investigation alert – Injunctions in investigations: Do they ever work?
There is no question that workplace investigations are disruptive and difficult for the parties involved. Sometimes parties are removed from the workplace or their duties are modified. Complainants and respondents are often concerned about damage to their reputations and their careers once it is known that a complaint has been made, and that an investigation is being conducted. Can an investigation ever be shut down in anticipation of this disruption?
Wal-Mart's "deplorable" pre and post termination conduct results in a sizeable $750,000.00 moral and punitive damages award
Recently, in Galea v. Wal-Mart (2017 ONSC 245) the Ontario Superior Court released a decision in a wrongful termination matter involving a Wal-Mart Executive Gail Galea ("Galea") and the "reprehensible" termination conduct of Wal-Mart. In addition to the usual wrongful termination damages such as salary, benefits, bonuses, etc., the Court awarded a whopping $750,000.00 in moral and punitive damages combined.

The Wall: Tearing down a poisoned work environment
Although a similar CSI-style wall is unlikely to be recreated in a typical workplace, other examples of pervasive, non-specific harassment may arise. It is incumbent upon leaders at all levels in an organization not just to recognize harassment and potentially, a poisoned work environment, but to take steps to remedy the issues.
Pink jobs vs. blue jobs: Sexism in the skilled trades
In August 2017, the federal government launched a $73 million work-placement program for students through paid co-op opportunities in industries such as science, engineering and skilled trades. This is one of many examples of recent initiatives attempting to attract more people into the skilled trades. Both federal and provincial governments have acknowledged a shortage of workers in the trades and are working on ways to incentivize people – especially women – to enter fields like electrical work, construction and carpentry.
Departing employees gone rogue
The business consequences of departing employees gone rogue were recently highlighted in Prim8 Group Inc. v Tisi. In that case, an officer and director of Prim8 Group Inc. (Tisi) resigned from his employment to set up a competing business. Two days before his resignation, Tisi removed electronic equipment from Prim8's premises, some of which contained proprietary information, and refused to return it. Shortly thereafter, another employee resigned from Prim8 without notice to join Tisi's competing business.

A landmark 2012 study by the state Office of Policy and Management that found a strikingly low recidivism rate among men released from prison with sex crimes convictions may be updated to create a new set of data.
As the Connecticut Sentencing Commission's Special Committee on Sex Offenders continues to develop updated protocols, members on Wednesday said they believe revised figures would benefit their work.
"This study is being used and discussed around the country in trying to look at the problem instead of telling stories about the problem," committee member David D'Amora said.
Ivan Kuzyk, director of the statistical analysis center under the state Office of Policy and Management, spearheaded the study. It tracked recidivism rates through 2011 among the 14,398 men released from Connecticut prisons in 2005 – and revealed that just 1.3 percent of the 746 convicted for a sex-related crime had reoffended.
"It might make sense to look at a new cohort of offenders, and also to see how they benchmark against the 2005 model, but also to test the validity of our assessment instruments," Kuzyk said during a presentation to the panel at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.
In May, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a special act to create the committee, which is scheduled to deliver its final report and slate of recommendations to the General Assembly's judiciary committee by Dec. 15, 2017. The committee met for the first time in August in the Capitol complex in Hartford.
Officials convened against on Wednesday. The meeting was aired live by CT-N.
One major area of study will be the role transitional housing plays in bridging the gap for offenders released from prison but under state supervision.
Ed Palmieri, deputy director of the Court Support Services Division's adult services, said at its first meeting there are 2,292 offenders under supervision, with 633 considered "high level" requiring four meetings a month with probation officers.
"We're making a real strong amount of progress in the short time we've been at this," committee co-chairman Stephen Grant said Wednesday.
Kuzyk said access to new technology and information sources could result in a deeper pool of information for the committee.
"I think in revisiting this 2005 cohort would help us to better formulate a plan of attack if we wanted to look at a new cohort," he said. "At the time (of the first report), there was a lot of discussion, because it's a controversial population. The assumption in the media at the time was they couldn't be managed effectively, so the idea was to benchmark how prisoners do once they leave prison."

Age-related changes in trabecular width and spacing have been examined in iliac crest bone obtained from 96 normal subjects. The mean trabecular plate density and separation were calculated from values of trabecular bone volume and mean trabecular plate thickness. There was an age-related decrease in mean trabecular plate thickness with age in both sexes; this was statistically significant in males (P <0.02) but not in females. In females, there was a significant decrease in mean trabecular plate density (P < 0.001) and increase in mean trabecular plate separation (P <0.001); similar but non-significant trends were observed in the males. These results demonstrate that trabecular thinning contributes to age-related bone loss in both sexes. Loss of trabeculae also occurs in both sexes, but to a greater extent in females than in males.
Keywords: Trabecular bone; Ageing; Microanatomic structure; Trabecular width; Trabecular spacing; Bone loss

Gabby came out purple and limp. Doctors stabilised her in the neonatal intensive care unit and then began a battery of tests. Within days the Williamses knew their new baby had lost the genetic lottery. Her brain s frontal lobe was smooth, lacking the folds and grooves that allow neurons to pack in tightly. Her optic nerve, which runs between the eyes and the brain, was atrophied, which would probably leave her blind. She had two heart defects. Her tiny fists couldn t be pried open. She had a cleft palate and an abnormal swallowing reflex, which meant she had to be fed through a tube in her nose.

Ageing, he thought, comes about because this developmental programme, this constant change, never turns off. From birth until puberty, change is crucial: we need it to grow and mature. After we ve matured, however, our adult bodies don t need change, but rather maintenance. If you ve built the perfect house, you would want to stop adding bricks at a certain point, Walker says. When you ve built a perfect body, you d want to stop screwing around with it. But that s not how evolution works. Because natural selection cannot influence traits that show up after we have passed on our genes, we never evolved a stop switch for development, Walker says. So we keep adding bricks to the house. At first this doesn t cause much damage a sagging roof here, a broken window there. But eventually the foundation can t sustain the additions, and the house topples. This, Walker says, is ageing.

Craigslist, the popular online listings service, has waged a long fight against scammers, but a new academic study suggests it's been losing the battle.
The study focused on listings for housing rentals, and found that Craigslist failed to remove a majority of those that were fraudulent.
The researchers analyzed two million ads over a five-month period in 2014 and determined that Craigslist had flagged and removed fewer than half the listings that likely weren't genuine.
Looking for housing can be stressful, and people are vulnerable to schemes that advertise below-market pricing or ways to get ahead of the rental game.
Victims sometimes proceed even if a deal looks too good to be true, convinced by confident reassurances from the scammers, said Damon McCoy, an assistant professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at New York University and one of the study's authors.
"By the tens of thousands of ads that we found, [the scammers] are clearly successful at making money," he said in an interview Tuesday.
The study is due to be presented at the Financial Cryptography and Data Security conference in Barbados next week.
Craigslist didn't respond to emails seeking comment. The site has long published guidance to help its users avoid scams. It warns people to be suspicious of ads that involve wiring funds over Western Union, and says face-to-face transactions will help avoid most problems, among other tips.
To sort legitimate ads from fakes ones, the researchers looked at data including IP addresses, common bank account numbers and email addresses. They also looked for similarities in the content and templates used for ads.
They wrote a bot that engaged advertisers via email, and even filled out templates used for rental applications to help identify scams. That method worked -- for a while.
"At some point, the scammers got wise to us and they began changing the template," McCoy said.
One of the most common scams involves credit reports. A con artist places a fake rental ad and, if a victim responds, directs them to pay for a credit report. If the victim pays, the scammers collect a commission.
In another scam, rental listings from other real estate websites were cloned and advertised on Craiglist. But the rental cost was lowered to a below-market price, McCoy said. The scammers asked for a wire or bank transfer to cover a deposit and the first month's rent. The researchers determined that most of those scammers were in Nigeria, with some in the U.S.
Another scam involved selling lists of rent-to-own or pre-foreclosure properties. The lists often included properties that aren't available or had suspiciously low prices. The researchers urged regulators to look into companies that provide these lists, and they named a few in the study.
They found more than 8,000 ads for these lists on Craigslist, and said the service flagged only 57 percent of them.
Overall, Craiglist failed to flag 47 percent of the rental ads that were probably scams, and for those that it did identify, it took a long time to flag them.
Of the listings cloned from other real estate websites, 60 percent stayed up for 10 hours, and 40 percent remained online for more than 20 hours -- plenty of time to catch some victims.
McCoy, who also co-authored a paper on another type of Craigslist scam, said the researchers reached out to Craigslist but received no response.
"It'd be great to work with them and try to improve the situation," he said.
The study's other authors were Youngsam Park of the University of Maryland and Elaine Shi of Cornell University.

The defence lawyer of the former proposed candidate of the National Federation Party has indicated in court that his client had no intention of spending the night at the home of the alleged rape victim on the 28th of June last year.
The complainant told the Suva High Court today that the accused called her at about 10 at night on the 28th of June last year.
She revealed this after defence lawyer Devanesh Sharma asked her if the accused had called her to ask if the gate is open to her flat so he could come over from a wedding and have a discussion with her and her children about a property.
Sharma put to the complainant that the accused wanted to have that discussion and return to Nadi on the same night.
The complainant says that this is not true as the accused had called her and had asked if he could stay the night and travel in the morning as he was not feeling well.
Sharma then put to the woman that when the man was changing his clothes she tried to seduce him to which the woman said it was not true.
Sharma also put to her that she told the accused that if he did a favour for her, she would do a favour for him which the woman denied.
The woman told the court that she did not behave in that manner when it was put to her that the accused told her that it was not the proper way to behave.
It is alleged the man raped his sister‑in‑law in Nasinu on the 28th of June last year.
It is alleged the man approached the woman and asked if he could spend the night at her house as he was too tired after a wedding and could not go back home.
The trial continues before Judge Justice Thushara Rajasinghe.

Dedryck Boyata's agent has taken a fresh swipe at Celtic as the defender's future remains up in the air.
Jacques Liechtenstein vented on Saturday that the Belgian defender had suffered broken promises from the Hoops over his future.
Celtic turfed out a bid from Fulham before the close of the transfer window down south but now the star's agent has revealed two other teams who have bid for Boyata .
Liechtenstein was fuming at the decision to turn down the Cottagers offer and showed up at the gates of Lennoxtown on Friday morning demanding to speak with Brendan Rodgers .
Now he has revealed further details of sides who are also in the market for the stopper, who earned rave reviews for his performances at the World Cup.
Liechtenstein told the Daily Mail: "Previously there was interest from Fulham, Olympiakos and Fenerbahce.
"Offers of £7million and £8m – but apparently Celtic is financially strong enough not to go into that.
"It's strange, because on the other hand, the club apparently does not have the money to make Dedryck a dignified new contract proposal."
Record Sport exclusively revealed Sevilla are also chasing the defender before the close of the transfer window.
Boyata did not travel with his Celtic team-mates for their do-or-die Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens on Tuesday.

Unreasonable effectiveness
As figure 1 demonstrates, there are three different knots with six crossings and no fewer than seven different knots with seven crossings. The American Mathematical Monthly. There are actually two facets effdctiveness the "unreasonable unreasobable one that I will call active and another that I dub passive. How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?
Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in and in Originally used to model freely falling bodies unreasonabble the surface of the earth, this law was extended on the basis of what Wigner terms "very scanty observations" to describe the motion of the planets, where it "has proved accurate beyond all reasonable expectations".
Philosophy of mathematics literature in science documents Works originally published in American magazines Works originally published in science and technology magazines Mathematicw about philosophy of physics Thought experiments in physics. Indeed, it is this writer's belief that something rather akin to the situation which was described above exists if the present pf of heredity and of physics are confronted. Wigner speculated on the relationship between the philosophy of science and the foundations of mathematics as follows:.
Unreasonable effectiveness |
Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.
Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the s the English physicist William Thomson better known today as Lord Kelvin proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether that mysterious substance that was supposed to permeate space.
Consequently, while it was certainly very useful, the Alexander polynomial was still not perfect for classifying knots. Another oft-cited example is Maxwell's equationsderived to model the elementary electrical and magnetic phenomena known as of the mid 19th century.
In other words, physicists wgner mathematicians thought that knots were viable models for atoms, and consequently they enthusiastically engaged in the mathematical study of knots.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences
So knot theory emerged from an attempt to explain physical reality, then it wandered into the abstract realm of pure mathematics—only to eventually return to its ancestral origin. Two knots that have different Alexander polynomials are indeed different e.
We should stop acting as if our goal is to author extremely elegant theories, and instead embrace complexity and make use of the best ally we have: Calculations of the electron's magnetic moment based on QED reach the same precision and the two results agree!
Image created by Ann Feild. Mathematifs, our intellectual apparatus is such that much of what we see comes from the glasses we put on.
Humans create and select the mathematics that fit a situation. What is it that gives mathematics such incredible powers? Wigner's original paper has provoked and wignre many responses across a wide range of disciplines.
Furthermore, the leading string theorist Ed Witten demonstrated that the Jones polynomial affords new insights in one of the most fundamental areas of research in modern physics, known as quantum field theory.
However, the minimum number of crossings is actually not a very useful invariant.
New Directions in the Philosophy of Science. When a better mathematical model in the form of the Bohr atom was discovered, mathematicians did not abandon knot theory.
Eugene Wigner, The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences – PhilPapers
Unexpectedly, the Jones polynomial and knot theory in general turned out to have wide-ranging applications in string theory. In the Greek legend of the Gordian knot Alexander the Great used his sword to slice through a knot that had defied all previous attempts to untie it.
Ivor Grattan-Guinness finds the effectiveness in question eminently reasonable and explicable in terms of concepts such as analogy, generalisation and metaphor. The reasonable though perhaps limited effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences". Signer first blush, you may think that the minimum number of crossings in a knot could serve as such an invariant.
Mario Livio's book Is God a Mathematician? By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. In order to be able to develop something like a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots—find out which different knots are possible.
The lesson from this very brief history of knot theory is remarkable.

Despite rumors that the two were merging – and shares for both companies surging on Friday as a result – a source said there's "no truth" that Target and Kroger are in talks to unite.
A report in Fast Company cited several people who said that the two retailers were discussing a merger deal.
The companies allegedly first started talking last summer about a partnership that would not only boost Target's lagging grocery business, but also give Kroger customers access to more merchandise and eCommerce.
The talks have been ongoing as Target and Kroger try to decide whether a merger is the best move. Last year, the two retailers' combined annual revenue was $195 billion.
Neither Target nor Kroger commented on the report.
A merger would help Target compete with Amazon, which acquired Whole Foods Market for $13.7 billion last year.
"Target customers would have access – in Target stores and out of Target stores – to best-in-class grocery," said digital supply chain consultant Brittain Ladd.
After the Amazon deal, Walmart began expanding its grocery offerings, and several grocers responded by setting up their own partnerships. For example, Kroger, Albertson's, Publix and Stop & Shop owner Ahold Delhaize joined forces with Instacart to give their businesses a digital presence and provide on-demand delivery.
BJ's Wholesale Club also announced a partnership with Instacart earlier this month to offer same-day delivery from all of its brick-and-mortar stores by the end of April.
In the meantime, Target hired a former Kroger exec, Jeff Burt, to head its grocery department, and redesigned the grocery departments in its locations as part of a bigger remodeling strategy. But analysts say there is still much work to be done.
"We believe Target has much further to go before the grocery business is fully fixed," GlobalData retail managing director Neil Saunders said, according to CNBC.
For now, Target is focusing on its private-label brands for apparel and home goods before setting its sights on food, which will be a costlier market to expand.
