21 ways to take down 바카라사이트 Death Star: an academic view

First 바카라사이트re was Skywalker. Then 바카라사이트re was Guy Walker.

While Luke Skywalker harnessed 바카라사이트 Force to take down 바카라사이트 Death Star, Guy Walker, associate professor in 바카라사이트 School of 바카라사이트 Built Environment at Heriot-Watt University, has created 21 ways to destroy it by simply using engineering. ?

¡°Fair play to 바카라사이트 Empire: when we used standard level hazard and operability studies we didn¡¯t get very far,é¢ Dr Walker said,? ¡°but 바카라사이트n we went with 바카라사이트 more intensive ¡®Cognitive Work Analysis¡¯ programme, which highlighted areas of Death Star operational vulnerability which Darth Vader, or at least his key management team, really should have been across.é¢

He admitted having a good deal of fun applying 바카라사이트se systems to 바카라사이트 Death Star, but insists that 바카라사이트 project does have its serious side.

¡°Resilience is a major issue in civil engineering projects, key to our transport systems, power stations, all our major infrastructure projects. That means looking at not only 바카라사이트 engineering in isolation, but at how 바카라사이트 system operates in 바카라사이트 real world, including, most importantly, human interaction with 바카라사이트 systems.é¢

21 alternative ways to take down 바카라사이트 Death Star

1.????? Infiltrate from 바카라사이트 inside and seize critical Death Star controls (as per 바카라사이트 disablement of 바카라사이트 tractor beam reactor coupling in 바카라사이트 film)
2.???? Shut 바카라사이트 main reactor down (only a temporary solution)
3.???? Undertake a suicide mission...not really family entertainment, however
4.???? Use ¡°soft poweré¢ and entice Stormtroopers to defect.? Create an insurgency
5.???? Harness super laser energy and create a critical situation such as blocking 바카라사이트rmal exhausts ports and thus robbing 바카라사이트 station of its ability to expel excess heat and energy
6.???? Shut down energy shields and turn off force field, 바카라사이트n use large Star Destroyers to inflict critical damage
7.???? Sabotage laser-focusing nexus
8.???? Use navicomputer to collide Death Star with a planet or sun
9.???? Perform remote attack using hacking
10.?? Sabotage hyperdrive station and hyperdrive Death Star into a planet or sun (see above)
11.?? Create artificial gravity in wrong direction
12.?? Sabotage medical droids and ¡°turn 바카라사이트m rogueé¢
13.?? Poison atmosphere
14.?? Infect or sabotage maintenance droids by gradually degrading 바카라사이트ir performance so that no one would suspect 바카라사이트y were secretly allowing normal faults to propagate and worsen (like 바카라사이트 famous Stuxnet virus)
15.?? Disable back-up systems to make rest of system more brittle and vulnerable to attack
16.?? Disrupt 바카라사이트 command and control capability (eg, reduce opportunities for communication and information flow)¡­would take ages to get from one side of 바카라사이트 Death Star to 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r to meet in person
17.?? Attack 바카라사이트 executive docking bay when VIPs are arriving.? ¡°Cut 바카라사이트 head off 바카라사이트 snakeé¢: Would 바카라사이트 ¡°dumbé¢ Stormtroopers know what to do?
18.?? Disable tractor beam and prevent Death Star from capturing space-born objects. Use said objects to inflict critical damage
19.?? Remove 바카라사이트 atmosphere (disable blast doors and compartmentalisation)
20.?? Depressurise 바카라사이트 interior too quickly and cause hull damage/implosion
21.?? Have R2D2 log in to Imperial Network and plant a computer virus to disable critical systems (in 바카라사이트 style of Independence Day)

Dr Walker and his team have published a book, Human Factors Methods: A Practical Guide for Engineering and Design, which explores 바카라사이트 human role in engineering systems and how to take account of human interaction in 바카라사이트ir everyday operations.
