Index The limitation of the International Atomic Energy Agency's system of nuclear safeguards was demonstrated after the end of the Persian Gulf War when evidence was developed that Iran had mounted an extensive cover nuclear weapons program in addition to and partly in proximity to its open nuclear research activities that were under IAEA safeguards. Shortly after this international investigations showed that the North Koreans were concealing data about the extent of their nuclear material production. This report analyzed what IAEA safeguards could and could not be expected to accomplish it identified areas where the safeguards regime could perhaps be broadened or improved and it presented options for such actions. This report was the sixth publication from this now defunct Congressional organization on its assessments of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This report was done at the request of the Senate Foreign Relateions and Governmental Affairs committees and endorsed by several other committees.

This book summarizes a wade variety of new developments including robotics "brilliant" munitions medical support laser sensors biotechnology and novel materials. Taking into account reliability deployability and other necessary characteristics of military systems the volume identified the emerging technologies that offer the greatest potential payoff for the Army. It presents practical recommendations for pursuing their development and integrating them into Army Operations. Topics include long-term forecast of research; computer science artificial intelligence robotics; electronics and sensors; optics photonics directed energy; biotechnology and biochemistry; advanced materials; propulsion and power; advanced manufacturing technologies; and environmental and atmospheric sciences.

Human factors and ergonomics commonly referred to as HF&E also known as comfort design functional design and systems is the practice of designing products systems or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people who use them. The field has seen some contributions from numerous disciplines such as psychology engineering biomechanics industrial design physiology and anthropometry. In essence it is the study of designing equipment devices and processes that fit the human body and its cognitive abilities. The two terms "human factors" and "ergonomics" are essentially synonymous. The International Ergonomics Association defines ergonomics or human factors as follows: Ergonomics or human factors is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system and the profession that applies theory principles data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. HF&E is employed to fulfill the goals of occupational health and safety and productivity. It is relevant in the design of such things as safe furniture and easy-to-use interfaces to machines and equipment. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries and other musculoskeletal disorders which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. GPO paperback
