Operating at the edge

Captain Bert Kribben and Captain G. H. Mangun were medical doctors and members of the Medical Division, CWS, and they were assigned full time to the Bushnell operation. At the edge of town they rented a large old two-story Victorian house for their offices and as a hospital. Their staff included male army nurses and other assistants. In January 1944 I went to them for my first physical examination, according to my agreement with Captain Nolen. One of the doctors told me that I could expect to live between ages thirty and forty. I told him that was what several other doctors had said. 

Propulsion systems, especially for military applications, operate at the edge of their stable operation envelope. For instance, if the reaction rate in a solid propellant rocket grows with pressure at a greater than linear rate, the pressure will keep rising until... 

All vibration equipment shall eonform to API 670. The probes shall be properly loeked to prevent movement during operation. Conneetions from oseillator/demodulators to the Purehaser s wiring shall terminate at suitable terminal bloeks loeated within junetion boxes mounted at the edge of the unit or baseplate. The probes shall be externally removable and adjustable without unit shutdown. 

Angstrom is collected at the edge. A calibration chart mapping resolution in Angstroms at the edge of the detector with distance should be readily available to the operator, either in paper form or on the computer terminal. Collect three oscillations of 1°. If the crystal habit looks as if it is either monoclinic, orthorhombic, or tetragonal (i.e. the crystal looks like a small shoebox, a rectilinear... 

The Airborne Submillimeter SIS Radiometer (ASUR), operated on-board the German research aircraft FALCON, measures thermal emission lines of stratospheric trace gases at submillimeter wavelength. Measurement campaigns with respect to ozone depletion in the Arctic winter stratosphere were carried out in yearly intervals from 1992-97 to investigate the distributions of the radical chlorine monoxide (CIO), the reservoir species hydrochloric acid (HC1), the chemically inert tracer nitrous oxide (N20), and ozone (O3). The high sensitivity of the receiver allowed to take spatially well resolved measurements inside, at the edge, and outside of the Arctic polar vortex. This paper focuses on the results obtained for CIO from...
