This paper, through mass spectrometric (MS) analysis for nitro compound explosives on a direct analysis in a real-time Generation 1 time-of-flight MS, indicates that even on a high-resolution MS with accurate mass measurement capabilities, there is no guarantee to obtain the unique molecular Beauty Kit formula of a compound.By calculating spectra a
The documentary film Habilito: Debt for Life provides a case study of the conflicts and tensions that arise at the point of contact between highland migrants and Mosetenes, members of an indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon.It focuses particularly on a system of debt peonage known locally as ‘habilito’.This system is used throughout Slee
In order to investigate the steering performance of the ringsail parachute, the effect of two different steering approaches on the aerodynamic and gliding characteristics of a ringsail parachute is analyzed by using the numerical simulation and wind tunnel test.The first steering approach is to make ringsail parachute drift off course by changing t
We have been developing HED experiments on high power ICF lasers over the past two decades that span (1) the radiative hydrodynamics of ICF capsule physics; (2) the high pressure, high strain rate, solid-state dynamics relevant to novel concepts for Generation 1 ICF and hypervelocity impacts in space and on Earth; and (3) the shock driven turbulenc
