  • Footnotes for ATOMIC ADVENTURES
    Footnotes for ATOMIC ADVENTURES Secret Islands, Forgotten N-Rays, and Isotopic Murder - A Journey into the Wild World of Nuclear Science By James Mahaffey While writing ATOMIC ADVENTURES, I tried to be careful not to venture off into subplots, however interesting they seemed to me, and keep the story flowing and progressing at the right tempo. Some subjects were too fascinating to leave alone, and there were bits of further information that I just could not abandon. The result is many footnotes at the bottom of pages, available to the reader to absorb at his or her discretion. To get the full load of information from this book, one needs to read the footnotes. Some may seem trivia, but some are clarifying and instructive. This scheme works adequately for a printed book, but not so well with an otherwise expertly read audio version. Some footnotes are short enough to be inserted into the audio stream, but some are a rambling half page of dense information. I was very pleased when Blackstone Audio agreed wholeheartedly that we needed to include all of my footnotes in this version of ATOMIC ADVENTURES, and we came up with this added feature: All 231 footnotes in this included text, plus all the photos and explanatory diagrams that were included in the text. I hope you enjoy reading some footnotes while listening to Keith Sellon-Wright tell the stories in ATOMIC ADVENTURES.

  • 1. This Country's Lapua Movement Succeeded in Banning Communist
    Fall 2008 ACF-Format Set #1 Round 7 Tossups 1. This country’s Lapua Movement succeeded in banning Communist activities, and a 1918 civil war saw Gustav Mannerheim’s government forces emerge victorious. The Continuation War, which saw this country aid Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, was a sequel to the Winter War in which the Soviet Union preemptively invaded this country. The 1975 Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe led to some “Accords” named after this country’s capital. For 10 points, name this country led by Tarja Halonen, whose major city is Helsinki. ANSWER: Finland 2. In a namesake reaction, some of them can react with the bases of methyl ketones to create carboxylic acids. The heaviest example is the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth, and the deficiency of another member is often the cause of a goiter. Normally featuring odd-numbered oxidation states, 2 5 these elements all have an outer shell electron configuration of ns np (N S 2 N P 5). For 10 points, name these elements that lack one electron in their outer shell, examples of which include bromine, chlorine, and fluorine. ANSWER: halogen s [or Group 7A ; or Group 17 ] 3. Skye Sweetnam ponders "maybe I should change my world" while contemplating this action, which "could be the cure." The initiator of this action strikes after the singer lets his guard down, causing the singer to lament "why do I do these things I do to myself" in a Something Corporate song. This action's recipient was the singer's "experimental game" in another song, which notes that this action "felt so wrong, it felt so right," and notes that it is accentuated by the recipient's cherry Chapstick.

  • Voodoo Fusion__Vixra
    VOODOO FUSION ENERGY by Daniel L. Jassby New Jersey, USA [email protected] Abstract During the last 15 years a host of fusion energy “startups” have declared that their systems will put net electrical power on the grid or serve as a portable electric power generator within a decade. But only 10% of these myriad ventures have given evidence of any fusion-neutron production whatever. This paper defines “voodoo fusion energy” as those plasma systems that have never produced any fusion neutrons, but whose promoters make the claim of near-term electric power generation. With representations analogous to those of the notorious Theranos blood-diagnosis sham, the voodoo-fusion practitioners have cast a spell over credulous journalists, investors and politicians. _____________________________________________________________________ Modern Fusion Fantasies During the last decade a host of fusion energy “startups” have captured the attention of the technology press and blogosphere. These startups promise to develop practical fusion electric power generators in 5 to 15 years, and incidentally will achieve ITER’s planned performance in a fraction of the time at 1% of the cost. With few exceptions, journalists have accepted these claims without criticism and propagated them with enthusiasm. But these projects are nothing more than modern-day versions of Ronald Richter’s arc discharges of 1948-51, the inaugural fusion fraud [1]. Just as Richter’s contraption could not generate a single fusion reaction, only a tiny minority of the current projects has given evidence of any fusion-neutron production. It was principally the absence of neutron emission that doomed claims of “cold fusion”, so why should more elaborate assemblies get a free pass, just because they use plasmas heated beyond room temperature? A tepid plasma of deuterium cannot produce measurable levels of fusion neutrons because one or more of the ion temperature, ion density or plasma volume is too small.

Botanical composition of the diet was studied seasonally using microhistological analysis of fecal samples. Twenty six of the 72 available plant species were recorded in the huemul diet.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Hidden Immigration: The Geography of Polish-Brazilian Cultural Identity A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Anna Katherine Dvorak 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Hidden Immigration: The Geography of Polish-Brazilian Cultural Identity by Anna Dvorak Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Stephen Bell, Chair Around two million people of Polish descent live in Brazil today, comprising approximately one percent of the national population. Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment. The case study is a rural-urban analysis of two particular examples in Paraná, which will discuss these patterns and examine migration tendencies throughout ii southern Brazil. As a whole, this thesis aims to explain how both rural and urban Polish- Brazilian cultural identities changed through time, linking these with both economic and demographic shifts.
