Small arms attack

Small arms attack on decoy flares in either logistic package or loaded in a dispenser is a very likely scenario for helicopters in urban theatres. Thus, it is of considerable relevance to test response of MTV against this type of threat. 

At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, no other plant existed in the U.S. capable of making anything larger than small arms ammunition. There was no knowledge elsewhere there were no detailed plans for whole industries elsewhere. Without the industrial know-how developed at Picatinny, the rapid conversion of commercial concerns to mass ammunition manufacture would have been impossible... 

Small arms ammunition. Incendiary small arms ammunition, while carrying only a very small amount of material, has proved to be of the greatest value in effectively attacking highly flammable targets, such as aircraft, which might be filled with hydrogen or carry tanks... 

Ceramic Plates (Ceramic Bathroom Tiles) Gives excellent protection from small arms fire, but because the plate shatters upon bullet impact,the area 1s left unprotected from subsequent attack. Homemade ceramic armor is inexpensive, with a fairly good weight-to-protection ratio. The drawback is the need for immediate repair of the impacted area. This requires that the armor panels be accessible for rapid replacement of damaged units.An adequate supply of spares should be on hand. 

Reports from the ist Cavalry Division and the 3 2d Infantry Division substantiated this estimate of the portable flame thrower. In mid-December an element of the ist Cavalry Division encoxmtered an enemy emplacement on a narrow ridge in the Mount Minoro sector which commanded the approach along the mountain trail. Repulsed in several frontal attacks cavalrymen, supported by an assault team, circled wide and approached the position from the rear. The flame thrower sprayed the emplacement, and the defenders were cut down by small arms fire as they fled from their position. ... 

Some enzymes are nonfunctional until posttranslationally modified. Examples of these enzymes include the acyl- and carboxyltransferases. While lipoate and phosphopantetheine are necessary for acyl transfer chemistry, tethered biotin is used in carboxyl transfer chemistry. Biotin and lipoate tethering occur under a similar mechanism the natural small molecule is activated with ATP to form biotinyl-AMP or lipoyl-AMP (Scheme 20). A lysine from the target protein then attacks the activated acid and transfers the group to the protein. The phosphopantetheine moiety is transferred using its own enzyme, the phosphopantetheinyltrans-ferase (PPTase). The PPTase uses a nucleophilic hydroxy-containing amino acid, serine, to attach the phosphopantetheinyl (Ppant) arm found in coenzyme A to convert the apo (inactive) carrier protein to its holo (active) form. The reaction is Mg -dependent. 

Addition of a nucleophile to the C-6 position of cytosine often results in fascile displacement reactions occurring at the N4 location. With hydroxylamine attack, nucleophilic displacement causes the formation of an N4-hydroxy derivative. A particularly important reaction for bioconjugate chemistry, however, is that of nucleophilic bisulfite addition to the C-6 position. Sulfonation of cytosine can lead to two distinct reaction products. At acid pH wherein the N-3 nitrogen is protonated, bisulfite reaction results in the 6-sulfonate product followed by spontaneous hydrolysis. Raising the pH to alkaline conditions causes effective formation of uracil. If bisulfite addition is done in the presence of a nucleophile, such as a primary amine or hydrazide compound, then transamination at the N4 position can take place instead of hydrolysis (Fig. 38). This is an important mechanism for adding spacer arm functionalities and other small molecules to cytosine-containing oligonucleotides (see Chapter 17, Section 2.1). 

Coulson181 thought that it would take 15 years for the impact of diagrammatic techniques to be fully realized in theoretical chemistry. It is therefore not surprising that the first half of this period has been devoted mainly to the development of new methods and algorithms. Although this development will undoubtedly continue, it is clear that, armed with these new techniques, theoretical chemists will be able to attack problems with an accuracy which was not previously attainable. For example, it will be possible to calculate rotation constants for small molecules more precisely. Although the accuracy of calculated rotation... 

In view of the many casualties recently resulting in other commands from German mustard gas, each organization commander will take the following precautions (a) Each soldier will place a small piece of soap in his gas mask container, (b) Each Chief of Section will keep constantly on hand in each gun-pit or gun position, two large bottles of soapy water—empty bottles may be purchased at wine shops from Battery Fund, (c) In case of a gas attack, and if opportunity permits, soapy water will be rubbed under the arms and between the legs around the... 

Due to the rise in subversive activity, the need to protect people, equipment and structures from explosions has greatly increased. In the period 2006—2010, terrorist attacks caused the deaths of more than 87,000 people [1]. Most of the attacks were armed, although a small minority were explosion related. However, in spite of their low number, explosions caused a disproportionately high number of injuries and deaths [1]. The effects of explosions are often disastrous, particularly in confined spaces such as on board aircraft. Fortunately, there have been very few explosions in aircraft, but the potential terrorist threat has been high in the public conscientiousness since the devastating 9/11 attacks in the United States.
