As a lieutenant in the Eighty-Second Airborne Division, Franco Chevalier routinely led men into combat. Now Franco is back in New Orleans, working as a security manager at his uncle's club and struggling to adapt to civilian life. But civilian life is about to look a lot like military life. While hosting a private party for a US senator, Franco watches helplessly as his charge is gunned down by professional assassins. Franco joins forces with Jack, an old army buddy turned private detective, to bring the killers to justice. An overseas manhunt reveals that their suspects have ties to a banking syndicate allied with the Iranian Quds Force ... and they won't go down without a fight. Slave to the Lender takes you from the New Orleans club scene to the dangerous world of international finance, where bankers vie to control predatory loans to developing oil-rich nations. Mark R. O'Neill was born and raised in Helena, Montana. After studying at Montana State University, he served as an army intelligence officer in Honduras and South Korea. He became a reserve officer and has since deployed to Iraq and worked as a contractor in Afghanistan. Currently, Mark blogs on his website dogwarddown.net.

Burlesque Blues

By: Mark R. O'Neill

Memphis, Tennessee is a city with a dark past -- a dwelling place for ghosts and a center for the cotton industry and slavery. Known for police corruption and racism, Memphis is where Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered, where Elvis overdosed, and where the Dixie mafia centered their drug-smuggling operations in the '70s. Set in the present day, Burlesque Blues tells the story of an Army veteran and chef from New Orleans, Franco Chevalier, who travels to Memphis to solve the mysterious death of his father in a Beale Street club during a burlesque performance. Was his father looking into the ghosts that seem to haunt the old family estate in Memphis? Or was he on the trail to find the crown jewels of France, which his family supposedly helped to hide before the revolution? The burlesque dancers, lawyers, and professors that Franco comes in contact with seem to have their own agendas, covered with lies, and hidden by smoke. To find the answers, he must find the strength to steer away from temptation and overcome his own anxieties from the war. But will that be enough?

Game-Theoretical Models in Biology

By: Mark Broom,Jan Rychtar

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological situations. It discusses the static aspects of game theory in a mathematically rigorous way that is appealing to mathematicians. In addition, the authors explore many applications of game theory to biology, making the text useful to biologists as well. The book describes a wide range of topics in evolutionary games, including matrix games, replicator dynamics, the hawk-dove game, and the prisoner’s dilemma. It covers the evolutionarily stable strategy, a key concept in biological games, and offers in-depth details of the mathematical models. Most chapters illustrate how to use MATLAB® to solve various games. Important biological phenomena, such as the sex ratio of so many species being close to a half, the evolution of cooperative behavior, and the existence of adornments (for example, the peacock’s tail), have been explained using ideas underpinned by game theoretical modeling. Suitable for readers studying and working at the interface of mathematics and the life sciences, this book shows how evolutionary game theory is used in the modeling of these diverse biological phenomena.

Hardware Security Training, Hands-on!

By: Mark Tehranipoor,N. Nalla Anandakumar,Farimah Farahmandi

This is the first book dedicated to hands-on hardware security training. It includes a number of modules to demonstrate attacks on hardware devices and to assess the efficacy of the countermeasure techniques. This book aims to provide a holistic hands-on training to upper-level undergraduate engineering students, graduate students, security researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals, including design engineers, security engineers, system architects, and chief security officers. All the hands-on experiments presented in this book can be implemented on readily available Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development boards, making it easy for academic and industry professionals to replicate the modules at low cost. This book enables readers to gain experiences on side-channel attacks, fault-injection attacks, optical probing attack, PUF, TRNGs, odometer, hardware Trojan insertion and detection, logic locking insertion and assessment, and more.

Ireland's 1916 Rising

Explorations of History-Making, Commemoration & Heritage in Modern Times

By: Mark McCarthy

In light of its upcoming centenary in 2016, the time seems ripe to ask: why, how and in what ways has memory of Ireland’s 1916 Rising persisted over the decades? In pursuing answers to these questions, which are not only of historical concern, but of contemporary political and cultural importance, this book breaks new ground by offering a wide-ranging exploration of the making and remembrance of the story of 1916 in modern times. It draws together the interlocking dimensions of history-making, commemoration and heritage to reveal the Rising’s undeniable influence upon modern Ireland’s evolution, both instantaneous and long-term. In addition to furnishing a history of the tumultuous events of Easter 1916, which rattled the British Empire’s foundations and enthused independence movements elsewhere, Ireland’s 1916 Rising mainly concentrates on illuminating the evolving relationship between the Irish past and present. In doing so, it unearths the far-reaching political impacts and deep-seated cultural legacies of the actions taken by the rebels, as evidenced by the most pivotal episodes in the Rising’s commemoration and the myriad varieties of heritage associated with its memory. This volume also presents a wider perspective on the ways in which conceptualisations of heritage, culture and identity in Westernised societies are shaped by continuities and changes in politics, society and economy. In a topical conclusion, the book examines the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to the Garden of Remembrance in 2011, and looks to the Rising’s 100th anniversary by identifying the common ground that can be found in pluralist and reconciliatory approaches to remembrance.

Judicial Review

By: Mark de Blacam

Judicial Review, Third Edition covers the grounds for review, defences to an application, the remedies and procedures involved and covers the Rules of the Superior Courts 2011, SI 691/2011. It includes cases such as article 40 inquiries (habeas corpus applications) and references to the European Court of Justice under article 234 TEC. It is the definitive text on judicial review available in Ireland and also of important reference in the United Kingdom. The law in relation to the reasonableness and proportionality of an administrative decision has been re-examined in the light of the Supreme Court decision in Meadows v Minister for Justice. Also re-examined is the law in relation to a decision-maker's obligation to give reasons for his decision in the light of the Supreme Court's decision in Mallak. As well as these, the book features a detailed account of the meaning and effect of a 'proportionality analysis' of a public act, indeed proportionality features prominently throughout the book in conjunction with the discussions on Meadows. There is also a detailed discussion of a court's approach to 'deference' in respect of a public act. In this new edition, the procedure chapters have been rewritten to take account of changes brought about by SI 691/2011 and SI 345/2015. Along with this a new chapter has been added on the philosophy of judicial review.
