Shock compressing liquids on a tabletop microscope, with special focus on detonating nitromethane
In this dissertation the shock compression of liquid nitromethane (NM), one of the simplest homogeneous condensed-phase explosives, is explored using a tabletop microscope. The shock is produced using a spatially homogenized laser to launch flyer plates, 0.5 mm diameter, 18 – 37 µm thick disks of …

Interracial Aggression: Behavioral and Attitudinal Variables.
… anonymity served as the independent variables. Shock intensity, shock duration, and anticipated intensity and duration served as the behavioral dependent variables, while subjects ratings of themselves, the target, Blacks, Whites, and several social issues were employed as the attitudinal …

Effect of Signalization and Temporal Predictability Upon Electrical Brain Stimulation Preference in the Rat.
… for predictable over unpredictable unavoidable shock using rats in a T-maze. They found that the subjects developed strong preferences for a signal-shock sequence over shock-signal. The generality of this phenomenon has been shown by studies which used different apparatus (Perkins, Levis, and …

A novel mechanism for metal alloying at the nanoscale
… the theory, we developed a facile carbothermal shock (CTS) method to synthesize a wide range of multicomponent (up to eight dissimilar elements) nanoparticles with a desired chemistry (composition), size, and phase (solid solution, phase-separated) by controlling the CTS parameters (substrate, …

Comparison of the Different Hazards Experienced by Pallets During Material Handling
… investigate the intensity of the vibrations and shock impacts that forklifts exert during material handling. Forklifts in multiple facilities were instrumented with Lansmont SAVER 3X90 and 3D15 data loggers to measure the acceleration peak, g of shock impacts, duration of impacts, random …

Development of mechano-active organic materials for shock wave energy dissipation
Materials capable of shock wave energy dissipation (SWED) are of interest for protecting personnel and machinery from explosions and ballistic impacts. Although current protective armors often prevent physical injuries by stopping shrapnel or bullets, the shock waves generated by explosions or …
