A Visual Graphic Based Modeling Framework Opti-Blend for Integrated Code Analysis
The current software systems are becoming complicated, heterogeneous and spread out making the task of code analysis a complicated task. The tools used in the traditional program analysis work independently, the statistical analysis, dynamic analysis, inspection of dependencies, vulnerability scanning, and quality assessment are commonly done separately. The result of this fragmentation is a lack of contextual knowledge, decreased explainability …

Hidden suicidal ideation or intent among Asian American Pacific Islanders
Army of none
The debate around lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS)—how to define them, what they might look like and whether and how to regulate them—is emotive and divisive. The term ‘killer robots’—now in widespread parlance and intended to stigmatize rather than explain—obscures more than it reveals. But it resonates with the public, in part because of wider anxieties around the social and political consequences of artificial intelligence, robotics, bi…
The handbook of Indian defence policy
The handbook of Indian defence policy is a broad and creditable survey of an increasingly important field. At £95.00, it is also outlandishly expensive, reflecting a lamentable publishing model that relies wholly on the free, or underpriced, work of academics and the procurement budget of university libraries. For readers without access to the latter, the handbook cannot be recommended at this price, not least because it is most useful to dip int…
Fear of abandonment
In the 1960s, Donald Horne famously proposed that Australia was a lucky country: ‘most of its leaders ... so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise’. Allan Gyngell's Fear of abandonment concurs in some respects: ‘There is something about foreign policy that has always made Australians a little uncomfortable’ (p. 2). But the thrust of his book is neither insularity nor complacency, but anxiety. Gyn…
Raiders in Kashmir
New Delhi's gamble is that calibrated punishment places the onus for escalation – and so the risk of further isolation – onto Pakistan
A Survey of India's Strategic Environment
This paper examines India’s strategic environment in the round. ‘Strategic’ refers here to politico-military aspects of international relations, particularly those with implications for the use or potential use of force in the future. Thus economic factors are considered secondarily, and only insofar as they have diplomatic and military ramifications – as in the case of Chinese infrastructure projects in South Asia, or Indian port-development in …
The Coup-Proofing of India
Steven Wilkinson's Army and Nation presents an all-too-rare case study of apparently successful civil–military relations
Assessing Britain’s Role in Afghanistan
This article assesses Britain's contemporary relationship with Afghanistan, its goals and interests there, and its possible post-2014 role. It is argued that Britain might continue to play a limited but non-negligible military, intelligence, fiscal, and diplomatic role, even as British policymakers are increasingly bound by fiscal and domestic political constraints
India and the Middle East
This article traces the outlines of India's engagement with the Middle East, focusing on security-related aspects of that engagement. First, it argues that India's approach towards the Middle East has undergone less transformation than that seen in Indian policy towards other key regions, notably the United States and Asia. Second, it describes how India has responded to recent, and older, episodes of political disorder in the region, and what pa…
India's Role in a Changing Afghanistan
As 2014 draws to a close, the war in Afghanistan will reprise the peripheral role it occupied for the United States and NATO between 2001 and 2006: out of sight, out of mind, and a distraction from
Pakistan's Tactical Nuclear Nightmare
India's Military Instrument
For six years, India has sought to implement an army doctrine for limited war, ‘Cold Start’, intended to enable a Cold War era force optimised for massive offensives to operate under the nuclear threshold. This article asks whether that is presently feasible, and answers in the negative. Doctrinal change has floundered on five sets of obstacles, many of which are politically rooted and deep-seated, thereby leaving the Army unprepared to respond t…
Emerging Drone Nations
Just weeks after Nazi Germany began to use the V-1 missile to attack the United Kingdom in 1944, the United States began work on a pilotless bomber to attack targets deep inside German-held territo
The Broken US-Pakistan Relationship
Pakistani leverage over the United States is shrinking as fast as Washington's patience, and America is now traveling down a road toward containment

Why India Is Becoming Warier of China
Beijing's recent behavior has strengthened hard-liners in India by legitimating the assumptions on which their worldview is built
P2-128 Distribution of 10-year and lifetime predicted risk for cardiovascular disease in the Indian sentinel surveillance study population
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines recommend lifetime risk stratification for primary prevention of CVD, but no such risk stratification has been performed in India to date. Methods We estimated short-term and lifetime predicted CVD risk among 10 054 disease free, adult Indians in the age group of 20-69 years who participated in a nationwide risk factor surveillance study. The study population was then stratified into…

Psychiatric Medications for the Treatment of Pruritus
OBJECTIVES: To review the use of psychiatric medications in the treatment of pruritus. METHODS: A literature review was conducted using the key words pruritus, psychiatric, and treatment. RESULTS: Three categories of pruritus are described: dermatologic, systemic, and psychogenic. Peripheral and central nervous system mechanisms of pruritus are reviewed. Conventional dermatologic treatments for pruritus are contrasted with some of the common psyc…
