For example, at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), Crested Butte, CO (Table 1), cyber resources are being developed that will enable students to access the extensive collection of datasets at RMBL, including those mapping regional climate, weather, and biodiversity trends, as well as supporting materials for inquiry-based activities.

Steinbruner believes America, China and other nations should draw up a sort of Geneva conventions of the cyber-sphere, taking certain acts off the table and allowing co-operation to ensure that they never happen.
The top 5 best performing features in Table 10 include 1 physical feature and 4 cyber features, confirming that physical and cyber behaviors dominate the predictability of users' income.
Table 2 shows for each study the cyber offences that are covered.
