Within small bodies, bees separate diffusing substances in an open cavity assisted by locomotion and the beat of the heart. The open arthropod circulation, however, is most efficient when shrunk until its large three-dimensional volume of blood turns into a two-dimensional film of fluid covering only the internal surfaces. This transformation increases the chances to near-certainty that molecules can diffuse from one point to another without getting lost.The Incredible Shr 606 $aBees$xPhysiology 606 $aSize judgment 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBees$xPhysiology. 615 0$aSize judgment. 676 $a573.1/15799 700 $aLawry$b James V$0957291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453660303321 996 $aThe incredible shrinking bee$92168449 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05074nam 2200793 450 001 9910795551603321 005 20220827075053.0 010 $a1-77385-245-0 010 $a1-77385-246-9 024 7 $a10.1515/9781773852454 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6826435 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6826435 035 $a(CKB)20133863000041 035 $a(PPN)26557286X 035 $a(DE-B1597)664034 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781773852454 035 $a(EXLCZ)9920133863000041 100 $a20220827d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aStress tested $ethe COVID-19 pandemic and Canadian national security /$fLeah West, Thomas Juneau and Amarnath Amarasingam, editors 210 1$aCalgary, Alberta :$cUniversity of Calgary,$d[2022] 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (290 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: West, Leah Stress Tested Calgary : University of Calgary Press,c2021 9781773852430 327 $tFront Matter -- $tContents -- $tList of Figures and Tables -- $tIntroduction -- $tThreats -- $tThey Got It All under Control: QAnon, Conspiracy Theories, and the New Threats to Canadian National Security -- $tExploiting Chaos: How Malicious Non-state Actors Leverage COVID-19 to Their Advantage in Cyberspace -- $tSupply Chains during the COVID-19 Pandemic -- $tGetting the Politics of Protecting Critical Infrastructure Right -- $tResponses -- $tA Health Intelligence Priority for Canada?

Some argue that the effects of COVID-19 on Canada represent an intelligence failure, or a failure of early warning. Others argue that the role of intelligence and national security in matters of health is?and should remain ?limited. At the same time, traditional security threats have rapidly evolved, themselves impacted and influenced by the global pandemic. Stress Tested brings together leading experts to examine the role of Canada?s national security and intelligence community in anticipating, responding to, and managing a global public welfare emergency. This interdisciplinary collection offers a clear-eyed view of successes, failures, and lessons learned in Canada?s pandemic response. Addressing topics including supply chain disruptions, infrastructure security, the ethics of surveillance within the context of pandemic response, the threats and potential threats of digital misinformation and fringe beliefs, and the challenges of maintaining security and intelligence operations during an ongoing pandemic, Stress Tested is essential reading for anyone interested in the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 606 $aIntelligence service 610 $aCOVID-19 ethics. 610 $aCOVID-19. 610 $aCOVID19. 610 $aCanadian. 610 $aSARS-CoV-2. 610 $acollecting information. 610 $aconspiracy theories. 610 $acritical infrastructure. 610 $acyber security. 610 $aeffects of COVID on supply chain. 610 $afringe beliefs. 610 $aglobal pandemic. 610 $amalicious actors. 610 $anational intelligence. 610 $anational security operations. 610 $anational security. 610 $aonline security. 610 $apandemic ethics. 610 $apandemic law. 610 $apandemic policy. 610 $apandemic security. 610 $apandemic surveillance. 610 $apandemic. 610 $aprivacy and health. 610 $asupply chain disruption. 610 $asurveillance. 615 0$aIntelligence service. 676 $a327.12 702 $aWest$b Leah 702 $aJuneau$b Thomas 702 $aAmarnath Amarasingam 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795551603321 996 $aStress tested$93675040 997 $aUNINA
