LONDON E. & F. N. SPON, 125, STRAND. NEW YORK SPON & CHAMBERLAIN, 12, CORTLANDT STREET. 1892. MODERN GUNS AND SMOKELESS POWDER. PART I. INTRODUCTION. Gunpowder, the oldest of all explosives, has been the subject of many scientific investigations, sup- ported by innumerable experiments ; but Nature guards her secrets well ; and to this day it cannot be said that the cycle of chemical changes brought about by the combustion of gunpowder is thoroughly understood. Its original components vary, but are generally about 75 parts potassium nitrate, 15 parts carbon, and 10 parts sulphur, with other ingredients some- times added. These materials, when simply mixed together, burn with considerable vigour, but cannot rank as an explosive until they have been thoroughly incorporated, so that the different molecules are brought into such close proximity that each finds a neighbour ready and willing to combine on the smallest encouragement. Heat furnishes the necessary stimulus, by pro- 2 MODERN GUNS AND SMOKELESS POWDER. moting chemical activity ; and, when combined with concussion, the molecules are driven closer to- gether, and this intimate association accelerates their combination. The effect of mere concussion is shown to greater advantage when any of the more dangerous ex- plosives, such as iodide of nitrogen, are subjected to experiment.

  • Explosives Recognition and Awareness in Court Security
    10/29/2015 Explosives recognition and awareness in Court Security INTRODUCTION Course Objectives Familiarize court security personnel with explosives and their illicit uses Familiarize court security personnel with methods of prevention and detection of explosive devices in a court security setting. Familiarize court security personnel with methods of dealing with potential or actual explosive devices as first responders. 1 10/29/2015 The FBI Bomb Data Center reports that 70% of all terrorist incidents involve the use of incendiary agents and explosives. We know that there have been attacks carried out against government facilities in the U.S. including court buildings using explosives. This is why it is important for court security personnel to be familiar with explosives and their use. This course is not an “EOD”, “TACTICS”or “BOMB TECH”course. Theintentofthiscourseistoprovidebasic knowledge of the relationship between explosives and court security functions. Officers should always rely on their own training, department policy and common sense when dealing with explosives. HISTORY OF EXPLOSIVES 2 10/29/2015 Beginnings Gunpowder first appeared in China around the 1st century AD and was used for fireworks. The first evidence of use in weapons appeared in Europe around the 13th century when projectiles were propelled through tubes. The first high explosive, “fulminating gold” was first mentioned in writings by German alchemist Sebald Schwaertzer in 1585. Italian chemist Asconio Sobrero discovered nitroglycerin in 1846 but the compound was very unstable and difficult to work with. Alfred Nobel, Sweden Advances Swedish scientist Albert Nobel invents a method of stabilizing nitroglycerin in 1866 and patents dynamite in 1867.

  • London Regional Group Programme Card
    The SCI London Regional Group is currently the largest of all SCI regional groupings with c.1,000 members in Central and Greater London, the counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Middlesex, Kent and Sussex. The majority of whom are based in the region and are employed in the chemical, pharmaceutical and allied industries. There is also a good percentage of members in education and academia. The Group’s geographical remit includes more than 60 universities and colleges, the City of London, Westminster and Parliament, headquarters or London offices of some of the largest industrial companies in the world, and a plethora of science museums, galleries, societies and associations. The Group has a long and continuous history and was established shortly after the foundation of the Society itself in 1881. Its first Chairman was Sir Frederick Abel, the co-inventor of cordite. The London Group organises a regular and dynamic schedule of activities throughout the year in SCI London Regional Group SCI London keeping with its mission statement ‘utilising our capital city to publicise science and allow networking opportunities for all’. The broad-based programme of general interest and specialist events attracts a wide range of attendees - from students and families to science professionals and politicians. The SCI London Regional Group has a strong relationship with UCL’s Chemical & Physical Society, the students’ society of UCL’s Chemistry department (and the oldest UCL student society), and sponsors their lecture programme.

  • Chapter 7 Carbohydrates
    Chapter 7 Carbohydrates Chapter Objectives: • Learn how to classify carbohydrates. • Learn how to recognize molecules with chiral centers and draw Fischer projections. • Learn how to classify the monosaccharides, and learn their chemical and physical properties. • Learn about the disaccharides and oligosaccharides. • Learn the major types of polysaccharides and their structural and biological features. Mr. Kevin A. Boudreaux Angelo State University CHEM 2353 Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry Organic and Biochemistry for Today (Seager & Slabaugh) www.angelo.edu/faculty/kboudrea Biochemistry • Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of biomolecules and living organisms. • In organic chemistry, we organized our study of carbon-containing molecules by functional group (alcohol, alkene, ketone, carboxylic acid, etc.). • In the first five chapters, we will take a look at several groups of important biological molecules, many of which have more than one functional group: carbohydrates (Ch. 7), lipids (Ch. 8), proteins and enzymes (Ch. 9 and 10), and nucleic acids (Ch. 11). • We will also examine the synthesis of proteins (Ch. 11), nutrition (Ch. 12) and metabolism (Ch. 13, 14), and important body fluids (Ch. 15). 2 Classification of Carbohydrates 3 Carbohydrates and Biochemistry • Carbohydrates are compounds of tremendous biological importance: – they provide energy through oxidation – they supply carbon for the synthesis of cell components – they serve as a form of stored chemical energy – they form part of the structures of some cells and tissues • Carbohydrates, along with lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and other compounds are known as biomolecules because they are closely associated with living organisms. 4 Carbohydrates • Carbohydrates, or saccharides (saccharo is Greek for “sugar”) are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones, or substances that yield such compounds on hydrolysis.

    A propellant is a low explosive that because of its regularity of burning produces a large volume of gas with the evolution of heat. Shown below are some of the standard propellants used by military systems throughout the world. If you know of any more let me know and I will add them to the table.
