This new edition describes pressure and temperature sensitive paints (PSP and TSP) in global surface pressure and temperature measurements in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. The book includes the latest progress in paint formulations, instrumentation, and steady and unsteady aerodynamic measurements in various facilities including low-speed, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels. The updated technical aspects of PSP and TSP in the book will be useful for students and researchers in experimental aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.
Luminescent molecule sensors, called pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) and temperature-sensitive paint (TSP), measure factors essential for understanding the aerodynamic performance and heat transfer characteristics of flight vehicles. They provide a powerful tool for experimental aerodynamicists to obtain a deeper understanding of the rich physical phenomena in complex flows around a flight vehicle. This book helps the reader to understand the physics and chemistry and the capabilities of PSP and TSP. It provides an overview of the wide scope of applications and explains the system requirements for using these sensors. The book also includes an extensive table of properties of PTP and TSP. As such, it is a thorough and up-to-date coverage of the underlying physics and applications of luminescent molecules designed for global pressure and temperature mapping
This book explores a range of biohealth and biosecurity threats, places them in context, and offers responses and solutions from global and local, networked and pyramidal, as well as specialized and interdisciplinary perspectives. Specifically covering bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, pandemic disease preparedness and remediation, agroterroism, food safety, and environmental issues, the contributors demonstrate that to counter terrorism of any kind, a global, networked, and multidisciplinary approach is essential. To be successful in biosecurity, this book argues it is necessary to extend partnerships, cooperation, and co-ordination between public health, clinical medicine, private business, law enforcement and other agencies locally, nationally and internationally. Internationally, a clear understanding is needed of what has happened in past epidemics and what was accomplished in past bioprograms (in Britain, South Africa, Russia, for example). This book also assesses how, with the right technology and motivation, both a state and a non-state actor could initiate an extremely credible biothreat to security at both local and national levels. This book will be of much interest to students, researchers and practitioners of security studies, public health, public policy and IR in general. Peter Katona is Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Infectious Diseases. He is co-founder of Biological Threat Mitigation, a bioterror consulting firm. John P. Sullivan is a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. He is also a researcher focusing on terrorism, conflict disaster, intelligence studies, and urban operations. He is co-founder of the Los Angeles Terrorism Early Warning (TEW) Group. Michael D. Intriligator is Professor of Economics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also Professor of Political Science, Professor of Public Policy in the School of Public Policy and Social Research, and Co-Director of the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences, all at UCLA.

The purpose of this book is to explain the need for a global
network approach to counter-terrorism, and to elaborate how it
could be formed. As the authors see it, the world is changing today
far more rapidly than ever before, and current public and private
institutions cannot keep up with this new paradigm. While terrorism
has a long history, it has become the focus of worldwide attention
as a result of the September 11, 2001 strikes on the U.S. and later
strikes by al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations on a
worldwide basis ranging from Indonesia to Tunisia to Spain.
Subsequently, there have been various attempts to counter this
latest wave of terrorism, including the U.S. strikes against
Afghanistan and Iraq, President George W. Bush's declaration of a
"War against Terrorism," the creation of the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, the 9/11 Commission and the very recent arrests
of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani and Issa
al-Hindi. Despite these events and reactions, we believe that there
is a need to consolidate and expand efforts against terrorism
through the creation of an formal and an informal global
counterterrorism network.

Grounded in research done by examining the clinical practices of five exemplary psychotherapists, On Holy Ground explores the relationship between psychotherapy and spirituality. This book addresses the religious and spiritual issues that mental health practitioners are not normally effectively trained to handle. It presents an overview of the history of the relationship between psychology and spirituality, including a review of contemporary literature related to the subject. The author's main emphasis falls on his interviews with five psychotherapists whose spirituality is at the center of their lives and work. Sullivan's analysis of these interviews includes a discussion of several common core themes, such as views of the person and the process of therapy as inherently psychological and spiritual, respect for the freedom of clients, and the place of prayer and meditation.

In sum, this anthology represents some of the best and brightest
scholars of today who are writing on the evolving security
environment in Mexico and the implications this may hold for the
United States. They have greatly enhanced our understanding of
crime wars and criminal insurgencies-21st century war and conflict
waged by non-state entities- and the impact this new form of
warfare is having on states. For this, we embrace them and have
established the new SWJ El Centro forum to further promote their
professionalism and scholarship. Dave Dilegge
This book outlines a collaborative case study conducted with the goal of discovering and describing "emergent learning" in three secondary classrooms. Emergent learning, defined as the acquisition of new knowledge by an entire group when no individual member possessed it before, is implied by the work of theorists working on an educational analog of a natural phenomenon called a complex adaptive system. The author theorized that classes that maximized the features of complex adaptive systems could produce emergent learning, and that there was a continuum of this complexity, producing a continuum of emergence. After studying three American high school classes, the author determined that there was indeed a continuum of complexity. He found that the actively complex nature of the Jazz Rock Ensemble produced an environment where emergence was the norm, with the ensemble producing works of music, new to the world, with each performance. The English section harnessed the chaotic tendencies of students to frequently produce emergent learning, while the mathematics section was too rigidly linear to allow detectable emergence to occur.
This book presents and discusses current research developments in the study of theoretical physics. Topics discussed include dark energy as the source of the time-dependent Einstein cosmological constant; non-linear refractive index theory; quantum coherence and tuneable transient behaviour of a double-control four-level atomic vapour; laser prototyping of polymer-based nanoplasmonic components and radiative transitions of mesons in an independent-quark potential model.
