Techniques for Depositing Visible Smoke Trails in the Stratosphere for Measurement of Winds and Turbulence


Book Description

Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories conducted two field programs at the White Sands Missile Range to obtain experimental data for the Climatic Impact Assessment Program of the Department of Transportation. These data provide a prediction of the residence time and behavior of exhaust products deposited by supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere. The data were obtained by photographing smoke trails from rockets and aircraft dispensing systems. This report describes the development and flight results of (1) the rocket dispensing system, designed to produce vertical smoke trails over the 12- to 25-km region, and (2) the aircraft dispensing system, designed to produce horizontal trails at 16- and 20-km altitudes.




Making Work Visible


Book Description

Information Technology time management expert Dominica DeGrandis, the reveals the real crime of the century--time theft, one of the most costly factors impacting enterprises in their day-to-day operations. The solution to preventing these value stream delays? Make the work visible. In this timely book (title not final), solutions and preventative measures are illustrated and methodologies outlined for immediate application into daily work.




UV-visible Spectrophotometry of Water and Wastewater


Book Description

UV-Visible Spectrophotometry of Water and Wastewater is the first book dedicated to the use of UV spectrophotometry for water and wastewater quality monitoring. Using practical examples the reader is shown how this technique can be a source of new methods of characterization and measurement. Easy and fast to run, this simple and robust analytical technique must be considered as one of the best ways to obtain a quantitative estimation of specific or aggregate parameters (eg. Nitrate, TOC), and simultaneously qualitative information on the global composition of water and its variation.* First electronic library of UV-spectra providing data readily available for researchers and users* Provides a theoretical basis for further research in the field of spectra exploitation* Contains helpful practical applications













Beyond the Visible


Book Description

Beyond the Visible: A handbook of best practice in plant UV photobiology presents methods for research on the responses of plants to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The knowledge needed to make informed decisions about manipulation and quantification of UV radiation is summarized. Practical recommendations for obtaining reliable and relevant data and interpretations are given. The handbook covers research both on terrestrial and aquatic plants and it deals with experimentation on ecological, eco-physiological and physiological questions. The handbook includes 115 figures, mostly in colour, 19 tables and 12 text boxes. It is the result of the activities of COST action FA0906 "UV4growth", and it includes contributions by 17 authors. From the foreword by Dr. Marcel A. K. Jansen: This book ... is an important contribution towards such sound experimental design, promoting both "good practice" in UV-B manipulation, as well as "standardisation" of methodologies. Writing an authoritative book that will steer experimental approaches over the coming years, can not easily be done by an individual, but rather requires the concerted effort of a team of expert scientists. ... This is surely an excellent example of a concerted, Europeanwide activity that will boost the plant UV-B research field in Europe and beyond, for years to come.
