Book Description

Organ regeneration, once unknown in adult mammals, is at the threshold of maturity as a clinical method for restoration of organ function in humans. Several laboratories around the world are engaged in the development of new tools such as stem cells and biologically active scaffolds. Others are taking fresh looks at well-known clinical problems of replacement of a large variety of organs: Bone, skin, the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, articular cartilage, the conjunctiva, heart valves and urologic organs. Still other investigators are working out the mechanistic pathways of regeneration and the theoretical implications of growing back organs in an adult. The time has come to present a collection of these efforts from leading practitioners in the field of organ regeneration.

Book Description

This book is an essential reference work for the academic and industrial chemists and will provide up-to-date material at the cutting edge of chemistry research.

This widely-acclaimed serial contains authoritative reviews that address all aspects of organometallic chemistry, a field which has expanded enormously since the publication of Volume 1 in 1964. Almost all branches of chemistry and material science now interface with organometallic chemistry--the study of compounds containing carbon-metal bonds. Organometallic compounds range from species which are so reactive that they only have a transient existence at ambient temperatures to species which are thermally very stable. Organometallics are used extensively in the synthesis of useful compounds on both large and small scales. Industrial processes involving plastics, polymers, electronic materials, and pharmaceuticals all depend on advancements in organometallic chemistry.

Key Features
* In basic research, organometallics have contributed inter alia to:
* Metal cluster chemistry
* Surface chemistry
* The stabilization of highly reactive species by metal coordination
* Chiral synthesis
* The formulation of multiple bonds between carbon and the other elements and between the elements themselves

Book Description

This book presents a detailed account of one of the most mysterious problems in science — whether ordinary magnetic fields can exert an appreciable influence on chemical and biochemical reactions. The first aim of the book is to introduce this research, through theoretical and dynamic spin chemistry, to graduate students and researchers, by means of detailed theoretical and experimental descriptions. The second aim is to review typical recent investigations, which will stimulate new interest and applications in the 21st century. Because dynamic spin chemistry is based on established science, it is expected to provide a guide for all situations in which radicals, radical pairs, and higher spin species occur, including the effects of environmental electromagnetic fields on the human body.

Anti-Ship Missile Defense and the Free Electron Laser

Manufacturer: Storming Media
ProductGroup: Book

Product Description

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A249953. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: In order to improve ship self-defense against sea-skimming missiles, several concepts, such as the free electron laser, high-power microwaves, and the Phalanx gun system are reviewed and evaluated in this thesis. Phalanx computer simulations show that Phalanx is an inadequate means of protection. High-power microwaves are found to damage electronics, but calculations show limitations due to diffraction and the possibility of shielding. This thesis evaluates several damage mechanisms caused by the free electron laser's ultra- short picosecond pulse. Theories and experiments predicting the laser damage from short picosecond pulses are reviewed and applied to the fel weapon design. It is found that there may be a significant advantage to the ultra-short pulse format of an FEL weapon; as a result, new experiments are planned. As MW FELs are not yet a reality, this thesis uses computer simulations to explore FEL operation for many values of the electron pulse length, peak current and cavity desynchronism in order to explain recent Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF) experimental observations of high average power.

Product Description

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A718163. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: An experimental test of a structure results in a database of frequency response functions from which natural frequencies and mode shapes are identified for the given boundary conditions of the test. The natural frequencies of a system under a variety of boundary conditions can be identified by applying artificial boundary conditions (ABCs) at measurement locations and obtaining the frequency response function for the unrestrained degrees of freedom. These frequencies are found without any physical alterations of the test boundary conditions. Use of the ABCs in sensitivity-based model updating and damage detection in conjunction with baseline data provides improved error localization and results in a more accurate finite element model.

Product Description

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A860593. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The ability to engineer novel quasi-phase-matched (QPM) structures in bulk periodically poled ferroelectric crystals has led to the development of a wide variety of innovative QPM devices. Lithium niobate has been the material of choice in many of these devices due to its large nonlinear coefficient (d33 ^ 27 pm/V), low cost, and wide availability. However, its large coercive field (^ 2 1 kV/mm) has limited fabrication of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) samples to a maximum thickness of 1 mm. This crystal aperture limitation combined with the low damage fluence of lithium niobate has restricted pulsed PPLN systems to low energy operation. In this thesis, we circumvent these limitations through innovative QPM grating designs and pumping schemes. In this work we report the design, fabrication, and demonstration of three novel PPLN devices. The first device generated broadband mid-infrared radiation by using highly elliptical beams to pump PPLN crystals with a fan-out grating design. The signal and idler beams were spatially and angelarly chirped while covering spectral bands as large as 3900/cu cm. The endfaces of the crystals were polished plane-parallel to force the system to operate in a monolithic optical parametric oscillator configuration. The second device used stacks of segmented multi-grating PPLN crystals to produce large signal energies with excellent beam quality. Signal energies as high as 33 mJ were generated in uncoated lithium niobate. In pursuit of the design for this system, we also explored several other unique QPM structures.

Product Description

This is a NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER INDIAN HEAD DIV MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A464213. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This report documents a study performed in support of the SSN 21 (Seawolf) shock-test program. The purpose was twofold: (1) to develop a more efficient method for calculating potential acoustic damage to marine-mammal herring from underwater explosions, and (2) to perform calculations specifically for use in preparing the Seawolf environmental impact statement. The most meaningful criterion for determining acoustic safe ranges would be one based on measurements of temporary threshold shift (TTS) in sea mammals exposed to underwater detonations. Because there are no existing data applicable to definition of such a criterion, an interim acoustic-energy limit, based on human in-air data, was developed for use in predicting the acoustic impact on the Seawolf detonations. Evidence indicates that this limit is very conservative. Therefore, until reliable measurements have been made of TTS that is directly attributable to exposure of marine mammals to sound produced by underwater explosions, this interim criterion should be used only for defining ranges for 'acoustic discomfort' or annoyance.
