New Directions in Just-War Theory
From the Document: "This monograph provides an overview and analysis of recent developments in military ethics that conceptualize just wars as a form of global law enforcement in defense of socially basic human rights and, in different ways, deny the sovereignty of independent states. Having first considered the arguments in favor of humanitarian intervention and for principles of jus post bellum (justice after war) that insist upon the rehabilitation of aggressive regimes, the analysis then focuses on a new revisionist approach to just-war theory, which it shows to be an extension of the other arguments."

Sexual Victimization Reported by Adult Correctional Authorities, 2012-15
"In 2015, correctional administrators reported 24,661 allegations of sexual victimization in prisons, jails, and other adult correctional facilities. More than half (58%) involved sexual victimization by staff toward inmates, and the remainder (42%) involved sexual victimization by inmates towards other inmates. About 8% (1,473) of the allegations were substantiated based on completed investigations. The number of allegations rose sharply after the National Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape were issued by the Department of Justice in 2012. The standards require correctional facilities to educate staff and inmates on sexual victimization, refer all allegations for investigation, track the information collected in the Survey of Sexual Victimization (SSV), and provide the information on request."

Evaluation of Diperadipic Acid as a Surface Decontaminant for Spore-Forming Biological Agents
"An environmental contamination incident involving an infectious or contagious biological agent may pose significant risks to human health. Currently, there are a limited number of sporicidal chemicals that are approved for use against 'Bacillus anthracis', the causative agent of anthrax. Characterization of potential decontamination options, ahead of a contamination incident, are important to ensure response and remediation operations initiate promptly and are effective. The current laboratory-scale study was undertaken to evaluate the decontamination efficacy of diperadipic acid, under application conditions that were found to be effective for pH-adjusted bleach (a common sporicidal liquid). The results showed that diperadipic acid demonstrated >6 Log Reduction on glass surfaces, but

Threats to Pharmaceutical Supply Chains
"In September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused severe devastation to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, which manufacturers nearly 10 percent of all drugs consumed by Americans. Given the large concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturing based in Puerto Rico, the destruction wrought by a Category 4 hurricane created shortages for specific medical products, which affected the standard of health care in the United States during an influenza epidemic throughout late 2017 and early 2018. The Analytic Exchange Program's (AEP's) team examining 'Threats to Pharmaceutical Supply Chains' examines this event as a case study for the risks and implications of pharmaceutical supply chain disruption. [...] Awareness of vulnerabilities is the first step toward protecting the pharmaceutical supply chain as a component of critical infrastructure vital to U.S. national security interests. Our team recommends mitigating future supply chain disruption by increasing private sector and government coordination."

Biosimilars Action Plan: Balancing Innovation and Competition
"Congress has given the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as part of the agency's mission to promote and protect the public health, responsibility for implementing laws intended to strike a balance between encouraging and rewarding innovation in drug development and facilitating robust and timely market competition. Maintaining this balance between innovation and access requires a mix of statutory and regulatory measures, such as creating incentives for innovation in the form of exclusivity periods; modernizing regulatory requirements to maintain efficient, predictable and science-based pathways for drug review with the aim of reducing the time, uncertainty, and cost of drug development; and supporting a competitive marketplace through the efficient approval of lower-cost generic and biosimilar alternatives."

Workplace Solutions: Preventing Deaths and Injuries of Fire Fighters Working at Basement and Other Below-Grade Fires
From the Document: "Fire fighters are at significant risk of injury or death when fighting fires in basements or floors below-grade level. The increased risk is due to limited entry and egress; working above the fire; weakened floor structures; being caught in the fire's flow path; unknown fire load; ventilation issues; utility panels, hanging wires, meters, and connections; and appliances. These risks can lead to fire fighter entrapment from floor collapse, burns, and asphyxiation. Fire departments should conduct a complete 360-degree size-up to locate the fire, attack the fire externally, and reassess fire conditions prior to conducting interior operations."

Down, but Not Out: An Updated Examination of the Islamic State's visual Propaganda
As the physical territory held by the group known as the Islamic State diminished in 2016-2017, concern about the status of the group's "virtual" caliphate increased. This report focuses on one aspect of that virtual caliphate: the production of visual propaganda by the group's official media bureaus. Using this dataset of more than 13,000 pieces of official visual propaganda distributed from January 2015 to June 2018, this report examines how the production of such pieces has changed over this timeframe in terms of the number of pieces distributed, the geographic dynamics associated with the production of propaganda, and the content featured in these products.

Sampling, Laboratory and Data Considerations for Microbial Data Collected in the Field
"In-order to collect the data necessary to assess the efficacy of remediation efforts following a microbiological contamination incident, a well-defined and thorough sampling and analysis plan (SAP) needs to be developed and implemented. This document summarizes elements that should be considered when planning, developing and implementing a sampling and analysis plan (SAP) for microbiological contamination incidents in which the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would be responsible for supporting sampling and analysis. It is intended to be an informational companion to users of the EPA's Microbiological Sampling and Analysis Plan (MicroSAP) tool. The MicroSAP is an online tool which steps users through development of SAPs for microbiological contamination incidents for the following sampling stages; site characterization sampling, verification sampling, waste characterization sampling, and post-decontamination sampling. This document includes considerations for: lines of evidence (Section 2.0); field sampling (Section 3.0); laboratory analyses and reporting (Section 4.0); and data quality assessment and interpretation (Section 5.0)."

Exposure Pathways to High-Consequence Pathogens in the Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems
"This report describes a conceptual exposure model based upon a review of the relevant literature for fate and transport elements for pathogens when present in wastewater systems. A screening process is then presented that evaluates emerging pathogens for the presence of two characteristics: (1) the potential to exhibit high-consequence disease transmission characteristics in wastewater systems, and (2) the potential to exhibit viable exposure pathways (VEP) for human receptors who have contact with wastewater systems. The screening process is developed for use with pathogens with varying levels of available data. However, the screening process is designed to be usable with pathogens with limited data, and for the screening process to incorporate quantitative data when it is available. Furthermore, this report assists users on the selection and use of data on surrogate microorganisms in decision-making for elements of the screening process. Lastly, case studies for the EBOV [Ebola virus(es)] and the spore form of 'Bacillus anthracis' are then presented to illustrate use of the screening process to evaluate pathogens and the presence of VEP."

US Outer Continental Shelf Oil Spill Casual Factors Report (2018)
"This report discusses the causal factors of oil spills of 50 bbls or more in the GOM [Gulf of Mexico] and PAC [Pacific Ocean] OCS [Outer Continental Shelf] and Arctic OCS through three sections. Section 2 of the report discusses the GOM and PAC OCS causal factors based on the US OCS Oil Spill Statistics Report (ABSG [ABS Group Consulting, Inc] 2018). Section 3 considers the climate and conditions of the Arctic that may be oil-spill causal factors on the Arctic OCS. Section 4 analyzes the influence of Arctic factors on the causal factors of the GOM and PAC OCS. [...] This report will utilize Kent's words of estimative probability (Kent 2008) to describe the likelihood of oil spill causal factors occurring in each of the discussed OCS regions. The categorical estimations of probability are qualitative descriptions for ranges of certainty in Error! Reference source not found. This language does not guarantee the quantitative probabilities associated with the descriptions, but it frames the factors for discussion on relative likelihoods. For example, causal factors described as 'chances about even' are those that are just as likely or unlikely to occur and lead to an oil spill after an event."

Optionally Piloted Helicopters: A Primer on a Potentially Game-Changing Technology That Promises to Save Lives, Property, and Money in Wildland Fire
"This background paper is a primer on the subject of optionally piloted helicopters (OPH) and their potential to bring game-changing technology to wildland fire that promises to save lives, property, and money. Able to perform all the functions of a traditional helicopter in the piloted mode, OPH have provided expanded mission coverage and proven their ability to operate in hazardous environments without risking the safety of pilots. In the wildland fire mission, OPH hold the promise of becoming the first 'direct-action' unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), capable of conducting manned initial/extended attack and logistics support flights during traditional manned flight operating periods, while also filling historical aerial coverage gaps at night and during daytime periods of reduced visibility due to smoke. This paper outlines the distinct differences between small-unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) used to collect data, discern information, and develop actionable knowledge. These 'indirect action' sUAS serve an important role and have already proven their worth in only two seasons of sustained application in the wildland fire mission. Their unique attributes, current successes, and future use are discussed. The paper will also discuss the topic of optionally piloted airplanes and their possible future integration in the air tanker role. Specifically, the non-technological barriers to their widespread integration and use are addressed."

Game Theory for Adaptive Defensive Cyber Deception
"In prior game theory work, cyber deception games have generally been modeled as non-cooperative, sequential games, where the quality and authenticity of the signal is being manipulated. This work relies on a signal, which can be deceptive, being actively pushed to the attacker. We have formulated a new framework for cyber deception games in which each player has their own perception of the game being played and the moves being taken. A particular player may manipulate other players' perceived payoffs to induce them to take sub-optimal actions. This model of deception seeks to address defender interactions with an attacker following the initial deployment of cyber defenses addressed by previous work. Our primary contribution is a model of defensive cyber deception that incorporates defender control of attacker perception of the cyber environment. Our ultimate goal it to inform future cyber defense systems, enabling more sophisticated responses to attacker behaviors and improving defensive posture."

Cooperative, Trusted Software Repair for Cyber Physical System Resiliency
"Cyber physical systems (CPS) form a ubiquitous, networked computing substrate, which is increasingly essential to our nation's civilian and military infrastructure. These systems must be highly resilient to adversaries, perform mission critical functions despite known and unknown vulnerabilities, and protect and repair themselves during or after operational failures and cyber-attacks. We believe that an automated CPS repair approach that can prevent failures of related, mission-critical systems is a necessary component to support the resiliency and survivability of our nation's infrastructure. We developed and evaluated techniques to cooperatively repair certain general classes of cyber physical systems, and to increase the confidence of human operators in the trustworthiness of the repairs and the subsequent system behavior. We used embedded systems platforms, including quadrotor autonomous vehicles, to demonstrate and validate our approach."

Securing High Value Assets
From the Introduction: "High value assets (HVAs) are 'Federal information systems, information, and data for which an unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction could cause a significant impact to the United States' national security interests, foreign relations, economy, or to the public confidence, civil liberties, or public health and safety of the American people.' HVAs enable mission-essential functions and operations, provide services to citizens, generate and disseminate information, and facilitate greater productivity and economic prosperity. Agencies are responsible for the information technology (IT) assets and the personal information entrusted to their organizations by hundreds of millions of Americans. A strategy that frames, assesses, responds to, and monitors risk to HVAs is thus essential. Such a strategy needs to prevent compromise and loss of data, as well as disruption of critical services and operations involving HVAs."

DHS Resilience Framework: Providing a Roadmap for the Department in Operational Resilience and Readiness
From the Executive Summary: "Since May 1998, Presidential and Federal Directives and Executive Orders have been issued on protecting national critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructure are those assets and systems that are so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of them would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health, or safety. Since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there has been a notable shift in emphasis from protecting critical infrastructure but to also ensuring that communities and Federal agency infrastructure are resilient. Simply stated, resilience is the ability to adapt to changing conditions and withstand and rapidly recover from disruption. Hazards and threats that can cause disruptions can take many forms, including natural, technological, and human caused. These could entail, for example, severe weather, power outages, roadway failures, acts of terror, and cyberattacks."

Reported Injuries to U.S. Personnel in Cuba: State Should Revise Policies to Ensure Appropriate Internal Communication of Relevant Incidents, Report to Congressional Requesters
"U.S. diplomats and their families in Havana, Cuba, were affected by incidents that were associated with injuries, including hearing loss and brain damage. State has reported that over 20 U.S. diplomats and family members in Havana have suffered from medical conditions believed to be connected to the incidents, which began in late 2016 and have continued. By law, State is generally required to convene an ARB [Accountability Review Board] within 60 days of incidents that result in serious injury at, or related to, a U.S. mission abroad, but the Secretary of State can determine that a 60 day extension is necessary. According to State's policy, M/PRI [Management Policy, Rightsizing, and Innovation] is responsible for initiating and leading State's ARB incident vetting process.This report is part of a broader request to review State's response to the incidents in Cuba. In this report, GAO [Government Accountability Office] examines the extent to which State's ARB policy ensures that M/PRI is made aware of incidents that may meet the ARB statute criteria. GAO analyzed relevant federal laws, State policies, and other State documents. GAO also interviewed cognizant State officials."

Activation of Body-Worn Cameras Without Responder Manipulation: Operational Field Assessment Report
From the Executive Summary: "Most commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) body-worn cameras currently in use by law enforcement personnel must either be manually activated when needed or they are set to continuously record while worn. In the former case, responders may fail to activate their cameras in rapidly developing emergency situations, while in the latter case, large amounts of irrelevant video and audio data are obtained that may nevertheless need to be digitally archived. Hitron Technologies Inc. (Hitron) developed the body-worn camera prototypes that were assessed during this operational field assessment (OFA) to address these limitations for U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) First Responder Technologies Division (R-Tech). The prototypes were designed to automatically activate based on trigger signals transmitted wirelessly from any of four critical event sensors: a holster sensor that detects the unlatching of a holster weapon retaining strap, an occupancy sensor that detects responders exiting their vehicles, an audio sensor that detects elevated sound levels and a hemodynamic sensor that detects an increase in the wearer's pulse rate."
