"The ISIS threat and the probability of an expansionist Salafist state reaching from Syria to Iraq require Turkey to reconsider its strategic priorities.
If the United States is to reduce the terrorist threat (diminishing both the probability of attack and the likely scale of harm), the next president must do a far better job of improving the security of civilians abroad, discerning and exploiting fissures among our enemies, persuading our allies to share the burdens of tackling terrorism and strengthening our capacity to withstand attacks at home.
To distinguish these different processes, we also collected data from 4,027 species with known population trend data from 1980 and 2004 to determine if the same set of ecological, life history and environmental drivers that explained threat, also explained the probability of decline (2,454 declining, 1,545 stable and 28 increasing species).
Since the fusion model represents the system security state very well, we can obtain the threat probability by computing the deviation of security features from their normal values.
Uncontrolled hydrocarbon leaks or accumulated flammable gas clouds present very dire threats, due to the probability of resultant fire and explosion.
The amount of variance in the threat probability response variable captured by each combination of terms considered (see below) was assessed as the percent deviance explained (%DE), which is a measure of a model's goodness-of-fit to the data [39].
The covered entity has to analyze each threat and vulnerability combination in order to determine the probability a threat can occur.
Processing biases influence the probability of threat representations initially intruding into awareness as negative thoughts.
"Although we don't know the probability of the threat being real, we cannot know that it is not real," he said.
He said the ruling gave the police "the necessary flexibility" to move to general bag searches if they received any information pointing to "the probability of a threat to public safety".
