Design, Optimization, and Testing of a Transaugmented Electromagnetic Railgun for Use as a Hydrogen Pellet Accelerator
… velocities were increased by 400 m/s without shattering the pellet and with only minimal pellet ablation. A multipulsed acceleration scheme is proposed, relying on venting chambers placed between short augmented railguns to minimize viscous drag. The results of the 120-$\mu$s pulse experiments …

Love itself is understanding : Balthasar, truth, and the saints.
… Balthasar conceives of this separation as a shattering of truth — the "living exposition of theory in practice and of knowledge carried into action." The consequence of this shattering is the impoverishment of both divine and creaturely truth. This dissertation identifies Balthasar's attempt …

Precipitation and fracture in a ferritic stainless steel
… prior to annealing, the steel had been prone to shattering across its width during uncoiling. This project was initiated by the manufacturers, Columbus Stainless, so that the present understanding of this stainless steel could be expanded, with the ultimate aim of avoiding production losses. This …
