Canines The Original Biosensors

Canines The Original Biosensors

Detection canines have been utilized throughout the world for over a century and while numerous attempts have been made to replicate the canine’s ability to detect substances by mechanical means none has been as successful. The olfactory system is a highly intricate and sophisticated design for chemical sensing and the olfactory capacity of many animals including canines is considered unmatched by machine due to not only their great sensitivity and superior selectivity but also their trainability and mobility. These unique features have led to the use of such animals as whole-animal biosensors. Amplifying the benefits and diminishing the limitations of detection canines' interdisciplinary research is crucial to understanding canine olfaction and detection and enhancing this powerful and complex detector. The past 50 years have produced vast advancements in animal behavior/training technology to develop canines into more proficient and reliable sensors while scientific research has provided tremendous support to help practitioners better understand how to utilize this powerful sensor. This book assembles a diverse group of authors with expertise in a variety of fields relating to detection canines and the chemical sensing industry including both research and operational perspectives on detection canines. It illustrates how science enhances our understanding of how canines are employed for solving some of the world’s leading detection challenges. | Canines The Original Biosensors

The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

The Shroud of Turin is the most important and studied relic in the world. The many scientific studies on the relic until today have failed to provide conclusive answers about the identity of the enveloped man and the dynamics regarding the image impressed therein. This book not only addresses these issues in a scientific and objective manner but also leads the reader through new search paths. In the second edition besides including some of the most recent findings on the Shroud the authors follow the many tips and comments received from readers. The Shroud’s dating by means of alternative methods has not been free from controversies some of which have even implied the non-authenticity of the Shroud’s samples tested. So the authors duly expand Chapter 7 to include the proof of the origin of the samples used in the recent scientific research and also address the provenance and the path of the original sample. Furthermore a new section contains a personal interview with the authors that is the result of the interesting and praiseworthy work of a Bavarian high school student. Although there are many books on the subject none contains such a formidable quantity of scientific news and reports.

The Shroud of Christ Evidence of a 2 000 Year Antiquity

The Shroud of Christ Evidence of a 2 000 Year Antiquity

The Shroud of Turin has been the focus of extensive study by historians and researchers since the beginning of the twentieth century. It is possibly the world’s most studied historical artifact generating a regular flow of new research publications. There is however one scientific test that overshadows all other research: the 1988 radiocarbon dating. This test dated the cloth to the period 1260–1390AD and was given such extensive publicity that most people today no longer accept the Shroud to be a true relic. Sadly very few people are aware that this test has been widely criticized for falling short of acceptable scientific standards. Similarly most people remain unaware of the wealth of compelling evidence that contradicts the conclusions of that test and supports claims of the Shroud’s authenticity. This book reveals extracts from secret discussions on dating evidence from the Shroud Science Group a private international forum of Shroud researchers and provides a detailed account of the dating evidence revealed by over a hundred years of research. It outlines reasons why the 1988 radiocarbon dating test continues to attract criticism from respected scientists and also describes a series of innovative flax dating techniques which have recently been used measure the age of Shroud material producing results that contradict the radiocarbon date. | The Shroud of Christ Evidence of a 2 000 Year Antiquity

Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

This book describes the ultra-short laser–matter interactions from the subtle atomic motion to the generation of extreme pressures inside the bulk of a transparent crystal. It is the successor to Femtosecond Laser–Matter Interactions: Theory Experiment and Applications (2011). Explanation and experimental verification of the exceptional technique for the phase transformations under high pressure are in the core of the book. The novel phase formation occurs along the unique solid-plasmasolid transformation path: the memory of the initial state is lost after conversion to plasma. New phase forms from chaos during the cooling to the ambient. The pressure-affected material remains detained inside a pristine crystal at the laboratory tabletop. Unique super-dense aluminium and new phases of silicon were created by the confined micro-explosions. The text also describes the recent studies that used the quasi-non-diffracting Bessel beams. The applications comprise the new high-pressure material formation and micromachining. The book is an appealing source for readers interested in the cutting-edge research exploring extreme conditions and creating nanostructures at the laboratory tabletop. | Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

Titanic Corrosion

Titanic Corrosion

The word “titanic” reminds one of the majestic ship Titanic and James Cameron’s epic romance movie Titanic—in many cases the film first and the ship next. The Titanic was the world’s largest passenger ship when it entered service measuring 269 m (882 feet) in length and the largest man-made moving object on earth. The colossal ship and the epic movie inspired the authors Susai Rajendran (professor of chemistry) and Gurmeet Singh (a renowned academic administrator and an internationally reputed expert in the field of corrosion science and smart materials) to study why the Titanic collapsed. The main reason seems to be bimetallic corrosion also known as galvanic corrosion. This book discusses various aspects of galvanic corrosion namely causes consequences methods of control and case studies. It also reports research on the causes of corrosion of the sunken ship including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and metallurgical failure. The book is a great reference for research scholars in the field of corrosion graduate- and postgraduate-level students the general public and marine engineers. | Titanic Corrosion

Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

The analysis of engineering structures has always been a challenge to engineers and in the past classical methods were used to quantify the response of a structure to the applied forces. These methods were suitable for the analysis of relatively simple structures that could be solved by hand calculations but complicated structures had to be simplified to a model that could be solved by classical methods. The results however were approximations depending on the modifications made to the structure as well as on the experience and judgement of the analyst. These limitations led to the derivation of the slope-deflection equations for continuous beams and later formulation of the moment distribution method. With the advent of electronic computers systematic procedures for the analysis of structures have been developed. Computer programs help in obtaining required solutions to the simultaneous equations in the case of structures where the number of equations is large and hand calculations are not suitable. The detailed work with simultaneous equations can be made in a general and compact form by using matrix notation leading to the development of the matrix methods of structural analysis. This book deals with the analysis of engineering structures made of skeletal members and covers the type of structures that are commonly used in practice. It builds up on the subject matter dealing with matrix algebra analysis of bar elements special forms of members stability and vibration of structures and pin-connected rigid-plane and 3D frames. It treats the important step of formulating the overall stiffness matrix of a structure in a systematic and straightforward manner and uses simple mathematical approaches wherever possible. The book is reader friendly particularly for beginners who have no prior knowledge in this subject and can also be used as a textbook by undergraduate and postgraduate students studying for a degree in civil structural or mechanical engineering as well as by practicing engineers who have not studied this subject but are using software packages that deal with the analysis of engineering structures. | Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Electrophosphorescent Materials and Devices

Electrophosphorescent Materials and Devices

Organic LEDs (OLEDs) in mobile displays have been in large-scale production for over a decade and OLED-based televisions are rapidly gaining traction in the marketplace. OLEDs are on the verge of entering the solid-state lighting market in a big way. The OLED technology gives higher color purity and is more efficient than any of the competing technologies. When produced at scale OLEDs are also economical. A key limitation in the development of OLEDs was the efficient conversion of all of the electrical energy put into the device into light. Until the late 1990s the maximum efficiency of OLEDs was limited to 25% (photons/electrons) but this limitation was removed and OLEDs with 100% efficiency were reported in the early 2000s. This advance in OLED technology was driven by the author of this book. He and his collaborators developed electrophosphorescence which is essential in reaching the 100% efficiency that is now commonplace in commercial devices. | Electrophosphorescent Materials and Devices
