Performance and Safety to NAVSEA Instruction 9310.1A of Lithium-thionyl Chloride Reserve Batteries
The design, performance and safety of a fully engineered, selfcontained Li/SOCl2 battery as the power source for underwater applications. In addition to meeting the performance standards of the end user this battery is successfully tested under the rigorous safety conditions of NAVSEA Instruction 9310.1A for use on land, aircraft and surface ships
Redundant data management system
Redundant data management system solves problem of operating redundant equipment in real time environment where failures are detected, isolated, and switched in simple manner. System consists of quadruply-redundant computer, input/output control units, and data buses. System inherently contains failure detection, isolation, and switching function
Our very own coral reef crisis
The past decade has seen trawling operations expand along the edge of the North East Atlantic continental shelf, as stocks of shelf-dwelling species such as cod have declined. As a substitute, markets are being developed for very strange-looking deep-water species such as roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris), orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), black scabbard fish (Aphanopus carbo) and deep-sea sharks (Centrophorus squamosus and Centroscymnus coelolepis). The problem is that this expansion in deep-water fisheries goes on unregulated, and it is causing long-term disturbance to seabed habitats and fish stocks alik
Design considerations of a proposed UK VHF radar
The major features of a proposed UK VHF radar for meso-, strato-, and tropospheric studies are discussed. The research interests of potential users which were considered in the design analysis are listed
The heavy top quark and supersymmetry
Three aspects of supersymmetric theories are discussed: electroweak symmetry
breaking, the issues of flavor, and gauge unification. The heavy top quark
plays an important, sometimes dominant, role in each case. Additional
symmetries lead to extensions of the standard model which can provide an
understanding for many of the outstanding problems of particle physics. A
broken supersymmetric extension of spacetime allows electroweak symmetry
breaking to follow from the dynamics of the heavy top quark; an extension of
isospin provides a constrained framework for understanding the pattern of quark
and lepton masses; and a grand unified extension of the standard model gauge
group provides an elegant understanding of the gauge quantum numbers of the
components of a generation. Experimental signatures for each of these
additional symmetries are discussed.Comment: 60 pages, 1 ps file; lectures delivered at the 1995 SLAC Summer

Intimate Partner Violence: Updated Screening Tool and Approach to Screen Positive Patients
Intimate partner violence screening is recommended in all women of child-bearing age. Ensuring validated screening tool utilization and employing strategies to identify risk while providing non-judgmental support is critical to identifying patients and optimizing appropriate resource referral.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1391/thumbnail.jp
