Although there has been no shortage of studies exploring how intelligence failures can happen, none of them have been able to provide a unified understanding of the phenomenon. To correct that omission, this book brings culture and identity to the foreground to present a unified model of strategic surprise; one that focuses on the internal make-up the CIA, and takes seriously those Cassandras who offered warnings, but were ignored. This systematic exploration of the sources of the CIA's intelligence failures points to ways to prevent future strategic surprises. 606 $aIntelligence service$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aIntelligence service$xHistory. 676 $a327.1273009/045 700 $aJones$b Milo$f1967-$01571971 701 $aSilberzahn$b Philippe$01571972 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787562703321 996 $aConstructing Cassandra$93846552 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04299nam 22006975 450 001 9910253921403321 005 20251113192019.0 010 $a3-319-59114-2 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-59114-8 035 $a(CKB)4340000000061991 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-59114-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4924156 035 $a(PPN)203669819 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000061991 100 $a20170724d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBio-inspired Structured Adhesives $eBiological Prototypes, Fabrication, Tribological Properties, Contact Mechanics, and Novel Concepts /$fedited by Lars Heepe, Longjian Xue, Stanislav N.

Further, it presents the remarkable adhesive abilities of the living organisms which inspired the design of novel micro- and nanostructured adhesives that can be used in various applications, such as climbing robots, reusable tapes, and biomedical bandages. The technologies for both the synthesis and construction of bio-inspired adhesive micro- and nanostructures, as well as their performance, are discussed in detail. Representatives of several animal groups, such as insects, spiders, tree frogs, and lizards, are able to walk on (and therefore attach to) tilted, vertical surfaces, and even ceilings in different environments. Studies have demonstrated that their highly specialized micro- and nanostructures, in combination with particular surface chemistries, are responsible for this impressive and reversible adhesion. These structures can maximize the formation of large effective contact areas on surfaces of varying roughness and chemical composition under different environmental conditions. 410 0$aBiologically-Inspired Systems,$x2211-0607 ;$v9 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aSurfaces (Physics) 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aNanophysics 606 $aSurface and Interface and Thin Film 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aSurfaces (Physics). 615 14$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aBiophysics. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aNanophysics. 615 24$aSurface and Interface and Thin Film. 676 $a620.11 702 $aHeepe$b Lars$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aXue$b Longjian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGorb$b Stanislav N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253921403321 996 $aBio-inspired Structured Adhesives$92019283 997 $aUNINA
