War on Terror – Armed Conflict with Al-Qaida?

Abstract: The US government has recently renounced the term 'Global War on Terror', pointing out that it does not describeaccurately the nature of the terrorist threat. While the change of terminology is a welcomed development, it should be noted that 'War on Terror' was not merely a political slogan. The war paradigm was accompanied with a number of legal arguments and claims which have a direct link to the perplexing policy outcomes of the Bush era. One of the trickiest questions before the Obama administration is rel… Show more

“…He studied shots that had a delta function rise and exponential decline and was able to show that a random distribution of such shots yields a 1/ f power spectrum. The shot profiles studied by Lehto (1989) did not resemble the microvariability seen in 0716+714, but visual inspection of over 100 microvariability light curves between 1989 and 2009 (Montagni et al 2006;Humrickhouse & Webb 2008) led Webb et al (2010) to propose that the microvariability curves were indeed shots, but shots with a light curve profile given by Kirk et al (1998;hereafter KRM). KRM calculated the particle acceleration in the shock front for various magnetic field orientations and particle densities assuming a plane shock encounters a cylindrical density enhancement.…”

“…To do this, we need to have a reasonable idea of the pulse profiles expected from the turbulent cells. Lehto (1989) first investigated shot models to describe the 1/ f nature of X-ray light curves. He studied shots that had a delta function rise and exponential decline and was able to show that a random distribution of such shots yields a 1/ f power spectrum.…”
