Upon this basis, this paper attempts to address a more general analytical scenario using rigorous topological methods to introduce a two-level topological representation of modern armed conflict;in doing so, it extends from the traditional red-blue model of conflict to a red-blue-green model, where green represents various neutral elements as active factions;indeed, green can effectively decide the outcomes from red-blue conflict. System confrontations at various stages of the scenario will be defined by the non-equilibrium phase transitions which are superficially characterized by sudden entropy growth. These will be shown to have the underlying topology changes of the systems-battlespace. The two-level topological analysis of the systems-battlespace is utilized to address the question of topology changes in the combined battlespace. Once an intuitive analysis of the combined battlespace topology is performed, a rigorous topological analysis follows using (co)homological invariants of the combined systems-battlespace manifold.展开更多

Psychological confrontations amplified by the mass media have even come to dominate physical engagements between warring parties. Drama theory provides a powerful framework for understanding these interactions in much the way that game theory was able to support strategy making by autonomous players in a less inter-connected era, A model of the 'normal' process leading to dramatic resolution is an essential feature of the drama theory approach and is described here. However this process can be derailed or fail in many ways. This paper reviews many of these systemic pathologies and illustrates some Of them through consideration of three high-profile cases. The conclusion is that it is important to recognise and possibly to use pathological behavior as an element of a character's interaction strategy.展开更多

In order to further understand its action range,with fungal pathogens in sugarcane production as targets,confrontation tests and tests of inhibitory effect of secondary metabolites on growth of pathogens were carried out. The results showed that B. subtilis HAS not only had better inhibitory effect on S. Scitaminea,but also inhibited the growth of various fungal pathogens in sugarcane production. The inhibitory effect was the best on Ceratocystis adiposum,Thielaviopsis paradoxa,Fusarium moniliforme and Colletotrichum fuleatum,which was reflected by the radius of inhibitory zone over 10 mm. The inhibitory rates of the secondary metabolites were about 70%. It indicates that B. subtilis HAS has wide antifungal property,providing reference for further application of this strain.展开更多
