Spy Cases

Atomic Spy Cases also features "U-231" bombs, elaborate disguises, a Nazi code embedded in an heirloom watch, a tmth semm dissolved in a cocktail, a femme fatale, and an agent who inked a secret map onto his bald pate and then covered it with a wig. Except for the addition of plutonium, the characters and plots were borrowed intact from the popular world of pulp fiction. That may account for the fact that no second Atomic Spy Cases ever appeared. 

The atomic spy theme proved so pervasive, however, that several rival companies drew on it to capture public interest. American Comics Group s Spy and Counterspy appeared in August/September 1949, while Marvel s Spy Cases (September 1950) and Spy Fighters (March 1952),... 

But editors could stretch the theft of atomic secrets only so far. By late 1951, both Spy Fighters and Spy Cases had begun to deemphasize nuclear espionage for a basic war format. The conflict in Korea had moved comic book espionage cases to a new level plans for guided missiles, secret formulas to destroy metal ships, and even biological warfare. Yet these stories somehow lacked the intense drama associated with the search for atomic spies. 

By the early 1950s, the various spy comics had begun to falter. Spy and Counterspy had folded in 1951, and Spy Cases, Spy Fighters, and Spy Hunters all expired by late 1953. Spy Thrillers survived only a year and a half longer. The reason for their demise was obvious. By this time, the atomic bomb, theft of which had become the backbone of the spy comics genre, had become an integral part of Soviet and American Ufe. In fact, it began to border on the commonplace. ...

An introduction to the principles behind SPI-SALI, this ankle presents a theoretical discussion of why SPI-SALI is much less fragmenting than MPI-SALI. Examples are shown which describe the additional fragmentation induced by the desorption beam—in this case ESD is compared to ion sputtering. The main focus of the article is the advantages of SPI-SALI for surface analysis of bulk organic polymers. 

Figure 2. Interconversion coordinate used in generic group exchange reactions. In this case a Sjq2 model is described. The donor and acceptor in the scheme above would correspond for instance to an halide ion Y- entering from the right in the APC and the leaving group is the halide ion Y-. The central carbon is shetched by the dark circle. The distance R is determined by the SPi-1, and the quantum states to the left and the right of the plane formed by the 3-substituents linked to the C-atom being different, they cannot physically be reached by an adiabatic process as implied in the BO-scheme if quantum mechanics must prevail (two different quantum states cannot be linked adiabatically ).

Human adult needs for this vitamin (vitamins) are not established quantitatively. Most human studies have involved preventing or curing rickets in infants or children, and the recommended daily allowance of the Food and Nutrition Board is 400 units. Even among "normal" children, however, there is evidence of variation in vitamin D needs. According to Spies and Butt,38 "The activated milk does not exhibit sufficient potency in vitamin D for the prevention of rickets in cases in which a susceptibility exists" (italics added). They note that "susceptible" children may require 5,000 to 10,000 units daily. 

If it is assumed that Spy Law-type water is the sole precursor, as with the foregoing case, the resulting models are not especially appealing. Although credible rates of dissolution are predicted for pyrite (2.4 x 10 3 moles per kilogramme of water (mol/kgw)) and calcite (1.0 x 10 2 mol/kgw), less credible aspects of these models include the dissolution of ferric hydroxide (unlikely under the observed pH conditions) and precipitation of ankerite and the hydroxysulphates (both of which would be expected to dissolve rather than precipitate). 

In this case m = 1 (t is simply a dummy variable of integration). If A is the wavelength, aT the radius of the transducer, L the distance from the transducer, and r the cylindrical radial coordinate at that distance, then u = 2nLaT/Xr. Since jinc(0) = 5, the amplitude distribution is A + 2A0 )m.c 2nLai/ r), where Ao is the amplitude on the axis at distance L. Whether the Fraunhofer approximation is valid is determined by the dimensionless distance spi which is defined as... 

As sometimes happens, those most interested in this question have been science fiction writers. In 1995, for example, Neil Stephenson wrote a novel called The Diamond Age describing a world in which Drexlerian nanodevices were part of one s daily existence. One function for which they were used by the government was as invisible spies that followed citizens wherever they went, going so far in some cases as to enter their bodies to conduct their spying functions. 

Figures 6.9 and 6.10 show the results obtained when the measured signal of sensor Spi has been frozen at its value taken at /[ = 3000 s. Since these last two cases involve abrupt faults, detection and isolation are practically contemporary.

Cuprous ion complexes with four ligands are normally tetrahedral, involving spi hybrid orbitals (electronic distribution A). However, the cuprous hydrogen complex II, which is of the form (Cu X3H), is isoelec-tronie with four coordinate complexes of cupric ion, of the form (Cu11 ), which are known to be planar and to use dsp2 orbitals (distribution B). It seemed possible, therefore, that because of its unusual electronic structure, complex II was also planar. Construction of scale (Fischer-Taylor-Hirschfelder) models indicates that this is probably not the case. A planar model of I can be constructed but not of II insufficient space exists to accommodate the hydrogen atoms between the copper ions in II. If, however, tetrahedral coordination is permitted about the copper ions, no... 

Matrix 1. Evaluation matrix for oxidative addition. Each element of the matrix corresponds to a d -ML complex and answers the question, Is such a reaction possible for this d"-MLx structure Empty boxes signify that no examples were found shaded boxes correspond to complexes with less than 12 or more than 20 valence electrons. SPL, Td, SPY, and TBP (SPL = square planar, Td = tetrahedral, SPY = square pyramidal, TBP = trigonal bipyramidal) correspond to the geometry which is necessary in each case.
