 | Turbomachine blading crack propagation and initiations are one of the most important problems. Design, operation and modernization of the contemporary turbomachines are impossible without a detailed numerical and experimental analysis of vibrations on their most important structural elements, i.e. the blades. In addition to determining vibration characteristics, it is often necessary to find the distribution of vibration stresses and their localization. This report is comprised of 4 progress reports for ... |

| The military defeat of Poland in 1939 was not the result of fighting the combined armies of Germany and the Soviet Union. Rather, the failure can be attributed to Poland's political hubris of pursuing two strategic imperatives, independence from Russia and regional dominance in Eastern Europe, using primarily military means. This monograph examines how Poland used its military to achieve its strategic imperatives across four time-periods in its history spanning ... |

| Ukraine's NATO ambitions form a controversial but vital international issue because they implicate the contradictory perspectives of Poland and Russia. The history and self-perceptions of all three states shape and reshape the question of Ukraine joining NATO, as a key step toward westernization, integration, and independence. The challenges of accommodating these competing visions of the past and future are relevant beyond the alliance to all practitioners and scholars of international ... |

 | In early 2007, after several years of internal discussions and consultations with Poland and the Czech Republic, the Bush Administration formally proposed deploying a ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) element in Europe of the larger Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend against an Iranian missile threat. The system would have included 10 interceptors in Poland, a radar in the Czech Republic, and another radar deployed in a country closer to ... |

Specific methods proposed by the authors - LACK, HICCUPS and SIP-based VoIP protocols' steganography - are briefly described. The main aim of network steganography is to hide secret data in users' normal data transmissions, ideally, so it cannot be detected by third parties. ... |

| Within the last few years, Europe has witnessed several major disruptions in its supply of Russian energy. The recent "gas wars" between Russia and Ukraine in early 2006, as well as the disruption of gas transiting Belarus in January 2007, posed serious implications for an already energy-deprived Europe. Russia's aging infrastructure, infamously inefficient domestic consumption, and current state of affairs, raises considerable doubts over its ability to supply consistent levels ... |
