problem: A data distributor has given sensitive data to a set of supposedly trusted agents (third parties). Some of the data are leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g.‚ on the web or somebody’s laptop). The distributor must assess the likelihood that the leaked data came from one or more agents‚ as opposed to having been independently gathered by other means. We propose data allocation strategies (across the agents) that improve the probability of identifying leakages. These methods do not rely

2 INTELLIGENT AGENTS In which we discuss what an intelligent agent does‚ how it is related to its environment‚ how it is evaluated‚ and how we might go about building one. 2.1 INTRODUCTION An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through effectors. A human agent has eyes‚ ears‚ and other organs for sensors‚ and hands‚ legs‚ mouth‚ and other body parts for effectors. A robotic agent substitutes cameras and infrared

cake-making recipe would include ingredients such as baking powder‚ flour‚ eggs‚ sugar‚ butter‚ salt. So what happens in order to make a cake rise? The rising of a cake occurs when baking powder or baking soda is added. These ingredients are cake raising agents which release carbon dioxide‚ allowing the cake to rise. Baking powder (a white powder) is a dry chemical ingredient used in the making of a cake. It consists of sodium bicarbonate (an alkali)‚ acid salt (such as tartaric acid) and starch that

must first understand what a chemical agent is. A United Nations report from 1969 defines chemical warfare agents as " ... chemical substances‚ whether gaseous‚ liquid or solid‚ which might be employed because of their direct toxic effects on man‚ animals and plants ... ". This means basically that any chemical that is used to directly effect and harm a person‚ plant‚ or animal would be an act of chemical warfare. Some commonly confused Chemical Agents: Agents such as napalm and phosphorus are not

angle for consistency Introduction: Redox reactions occur when both oxidation and reduction take place. All atoms can be assigned an oxidation number‚ which is a positive or negative number that help in determining the reducing and/or oxidizing agents in an equation. An increase in the oxidation number of an atom from one side of an equation to another side indicates oxidation. A decrease in the oxidation number of an atom indicates reduction. For example: 2AgNO3 + Cu Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag In this equation

These agents are usually found in nature‚ but they can be altered to increase their ability to cause disease‚ to make them resistant to current medicines‚ or to increase their ability to be spread into the environment (Bioterrorism Overview 1). They are usually colorless‚ odorless microorganisms or derived from microorganisms that can be spread in air as aerosols or in food or drink to infect as many people as possible (Nicolson 1). There are three categories of bioterrorism agents. They are
