The purpose of this project is to provide students and non-law professionals with a freely accessible, clearly written guide to support engaging and effective learning. As such, the book serves as a gateway and an invitation to become a well informed, committed and involved ocean citizen as well as to explore the field beyond our course study.8562020-06-29T19:47:15Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZUnmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition<img alt="Read more about Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition" title="Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition cover image" class="cover " width="571" height="739" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--ad673d7e7d253ff928e3c2d2923066871160efe5/cyberdomain.png" />Unmanned Aircraft Systems are an integral part of the US national critical infrastructure. The authors have endeavored to bring a breadth and quality of information to the reader that is unparalleled in the unclassified sphere. This textbook will fully immerse and engage the reader / student in the cyber-security considerations of this rapidly emerging technology that we know as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The first edition topics covered National Airspace (NAS) policy issues, information security (INFOSEC), UAS vulnerabilities in key systems (Sense and Avoid / SCADA), navigation and collision avoidance systems, stealth design, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms; weapons systems security; electronic warfare considerations; data-links, jamming, operational vulnerabilities and still-emerging political scenarios that affect US military / commercial decisions.8532020-06-27T16:32:44Z2024-01-22T14:52:09ZA Tale of Two Systems<img alt="Read more about A Tale of Two Systems" title="A Tale of Two Systems cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExMSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--3cc6334b8a7f653584361437a830a89639e152d0/taleOfTwoSys.jpg" />This is the story of a web-based information system rebuild. The system in question is www.teachengineering.org, a digital library of K-12 engineering curriculum that was built from the ground up with established technology and which for 13 years enjoyed lasting support from its growing user community and its sponsors. These 13 years, however, cover the period during which smart phones and tablets became commonplace, during which the Internet of Things started replacing the Semantic Web, during which NoSQL databases made their way out of the research labs and into everyday development shops, during which we collectively started moving IT functions and services into ‘the cloud,’ and during which computing performance doubled a few times, yet again. During this same period, TeachEngineering’s user base grew from a few hundred to more than 3 million users annually, its collection size quadrupled, it went through several user interface renewals, and significant functionality was added while having an exemplary service record, and it enjoyed continued financial support from its sponsors. In this monograph we provide a side-by-side of this rebuild. We lay out the choices made in the old architecture —we refer to it as TE 1.0— and compare and contrast them with the choices made for TE 2.0. We explain why both the 1.0 and 2.0 choices were made and discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with them.8432020-06-25T18:41:55Z2023-06-02T17:34:42ZA Cool Brisk Walk Through Discrete Mathematics - version 2.2<img alt="Read more about A Cool Brisk Walk Through Discrete Mathematics - version 2.2" title="A Cool Brisk Walk Through Discrete Mathematics - version 2.2 cover image" class="cover " width="432" height="648" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzAzNCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--1bbbbfbac9d739201e19f09ec7daf3252028d484/front_cover%20(1).png" />A Cool Brisk Walk Through Discrete Mathematics - and its companion site "allthemath" - are completely-and-forever-free-and-open-source educational materials dedicated to the mathematics that budding computer science practitioners actually need to know.

While the material is geared toward students in urban and regional planning, it may also be of interest to students of urban studies, public health, geography, political science, sociology, risk management, and others. Each section of this volume includes (1) an introductory summary, (2) a reading list with full text articles, (3) student exercises meant to enhance understanding and facilitate in-class discussion, and (4) additional discussion prompts or activities for instructors to use in class. The format of materials is intended to convey key concepts, while leaving ample space for student exploration, discourse, and creativity. Lessons may culminate in an applied, imaginative final project, a sample framework of which is provided at the end of Section VI.8362020-05-25T18:15:39Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZGuide to Ancient Roman art<img alt="Read more about Guide to Ancient Roman art" title="Guide to Ancient Roman art cover image" class="cover " width="1978" height="2560" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTAwMSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--c6339b3ea435ce78a5e4748bb06808d508f9fd03/roman-scaled.jpg" />This book contains all of Smarthistory’s content for the Ancient Roman art.8352020-05-25T17:34:50Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZGuide to Ancient Greek Art<img alt="Read more about Guide to Ancient Greek Art" title="Guide to Ancient Greek Art cover image" class="cover " width="2550" height="3300" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTk5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9ef96d10e81cf909c6658674cf8b67623c773848/Smarthistory-guide-to-Ancient-Greek-Art-1570549025.jpg" />This book contains all of Smarthistory’s content for Ancient Greek art.8342020-05-14T19:37:08Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZGuide to Ancient Etruscan Art<img alt="Read more about Guide to Ancient Etruscan Art" title="Guide to Ancient Etruscan Art cover image" class="cover " width="1978" height="2560" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTcxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--927aab8959557d852adee902d14ebf2cfc4761c9/etruscan-scaled.jpg" />This book contains all of Smarthistory’s content for the Ancient Etruscan art.8332020-05-14T17:56:35Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZGuide to Ancient Aegean Art<img alt="Read more about Guide to Ancient Aegean Art" title="Guide to Ancient Aegean Art cover image" class="cover " width="2550" height="3300" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTcwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--39b6edd6c535cec619ab2559ff803f74fad70350/aegean.jpg" />This book contains all of Smarthistory’s content for the Ancient Aegean, including Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean art.
