The story of how the concept of a pantheon, a building honouring
great individuals, spread across Revolutionary Europe and
interacted with socio-political and cultural changes. Analysing the
canon and iconography of each pantheon, Bouwers shows how the
commemoration of war and celebration of nationhood gave way to the
protection of elite interests.
Representing the collective effort of over 30 leading scientists in
Russia and the United States, this is the first book written solely
on the subject of nuclear batteries. It presents a rich historical
discussion and original research on the conversion of nuclear
materials into electrical power, which can then be harvested to
make long-lasting, more energy efficient batteries. With this
technology, power-matched supplies would last decades - even
centuries - using safe, direct, long-life, stable, integrated
electric power from the highest energy density source available.
Polymers, Phosphors, and Voltaics for Radioisotope Microbatteries
presents the state-of-the-art in interdisciplinary research in
radiochemistry, tritium storage, semiconductor fabrication and
characterization, nuclear battery fabrication and testing,
integration into MEMS and other electronic devices, and much more.
A key feature of this book is its discussion of construction
materials for miniaturized radioisotope power supplies, since
progress in nuclear battery technology depends on characterization
of functionally radiation-stable components. Though substantial
progress has been made to solve problems of using integrated
radioisotope batteries for micro- and nanoelectronics, each author
has provided an authoritative assessment and has indicated where
development is needed. Research in this area has the potential to
revolutionize the microelectronics industry by enabling MEMS and
nanotechnology. Significant technological progress depends today on
coordinated interdisciplinary research. Polymers, Phosphors, and
Voltaics for Radioisotope Microbatteries contains diverse
discussions of the problems of using radioactive material for
microelectronic power needs and guides readers to future research
in the area of long-life, high energy-density batteries.

Captain Sean Ballard has done it all as a 'business professional'
until one day he says, "To hell with it " and becomes a yacht
captain. He is fortunate enough to work for bosses who want their
yachts moving a lot They travel up and down America's rivers,
cruise the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and the East and West
Coasts of the United States with Sean happily at the helm. He even
makes two trips to China to oversee construction of yachts for the
owners. Sean enjoys the ladies, leading to some interesting, funny
and 'hot' situations-one of which is almost deadly...
Army Medical Department (AMEDD) after-action reviews emerging from
healthcare professionals recently redeployed from Operations
Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom identified units deploying with
insufficient or obsolete medical equipment in their assemblages.
The contents of AMEDD sets, kits, and outfits were not optimal for
full-spectrum operations. Medical materiel accommodation did not
meet clinical demands resulting in upgrades on the fly often
achieved by procurement and fielding outside traditional
supply-procurement systems. A disparity exists between medical
practices in full-spectrum operations and normally accepted
standards of professional medical care. The rapid advance of
medical science has caused a progressive shift of practice away
from the static components held in AMEDD assemblages. This study
answers the question: Does the need exist to change the existing
medical assemblage lifecycle management process in order to
successfully operate in full-spectrum operations? The study leads
to the conclusion that the AMEDD must change its process,
synchronize with commercial product lifecycles, and improve
clinical acceptance. The current process, measured in terms of
years, bears no relationship to the lifecycle of materiel. It is
not agile, versatile or sustainable enough to keep pace with the
ever-changing spectrum of operations and is not responsive to
clinical demands, thus indicating diminished capability.
