Spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) must function in a harsh oxidizing environment. At LEO altitudes, ranging from 200 to 700 km, the residual atmosphere is predominantly neutral, with the dominant component being atomic oxygen. A typical 0-atom number density at space shuttle altitudes ( 300 km) is on the order of 10 cm . At orbital altitudes of 300-400 km, the LEO environment subjects materials on the ram side of a spacecraft to collisions with ambient oxygen atoms that have an average impact velocity of 7.4 km corresponding to a mean collision en-... 

The objective in these gauges is to measure the time-resolved material (particle) velocity in a specimen subjected to shock loading. In many cases, especially at lower impact pressures, the impact shock is unstable and breaks up into two or more shocks, or partially or wholly degrades into a longer risetime stress wave as opposed to a single shock wave. Time-resolved particle velocity gauges are one means by which the actual profile of the propagating wave front can be accurately measured. 

Chapter 3 is devoted to pressure transformation of the unresolved isotropic Raman scattering spectrum which consists of a single Q-branch much narrower than other branches (shaded in Fig. 0.2(a)). Therefore rotational collapse of the Q-branch is accomplished much earlier than that of the IR spectrum as a whole (e.g. in the gas phase). Attention is concentrated on the isotropic Q-branch of N2, which is significantly narrowed before the broadening produced by weak vibrational dephasing becomes dominant. It is remarkable that isotropic Q-branch collapse is indifferent to orientational relaxation. It is affected solely by rotational energy relaxation. This is an exceptional case of pure frequency modulation similar to the Dicke effect in atomic spectroscopy [13]. The only difference is that the frequency in the Q-branch is quadratic in J whereas in the Doppler contour it is linear in translational velocity v. Consequently the rotational frequency modulation is not Gaussian but is still Markovian and therefore subject to the impact theory. The Keilson-... 

Kinetics is the study of the factors which influence reaction rates. Enzyme-catalysed reactions are subject to the same principles of rate regulation as any other type of chemical reaction. For example, the pH, temperature, pressure (if gases are involved) and concentration of reactants all impact on the velocity reactions. Unlike inorganic catalysts, like platinum for example, there is a requirement for the substrate (reactant) to engage a particular region of the enzyme known as the active site. This binding is reversible and is simply represented thus ... 

Detonation Processes Properties of Explosive Affecting Them. This is a very broad subject and might include Chapman-Jouguet parameters (See Table under "Detonation, Chapman-Jouguet Parameters in ), thermohydrodynamic properties, brisance, density, power or strength, pressure of detonation, temperature of detonation, sensitivity to impact, sensitivity to initiation and detonation velocity... 

As air is drawn towards the impeller blades, it is subjected to centrifugal acceleration. Viable microorganisms in the sampled air are impacted at high velocity onto the surface of the agar strip. After sampling, the strip containing the nutrient is incubated at 30 to 35°C for days. The colonies can be enumerated by visual examination and the results should be recorded. Sampling time with the RCS should be 2 min (= 80 1 air). 

This type of mass spectrometer, which is not widely used, allows mass determination with a high precision. An ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer is basically an ion trap ions formed by electron impact, for example, are subjected to the orthogonal magnetic field B, which induces cyclotronic movement in the. rv plane (Fig. 16.8). The radius of the circular movement, which depends on kinetic energy, is given by equation (16.2). If the velocity v is small and the magnetic field B is intense, the radius of the trajectory will be small and the ions will be trapped in the ionisation... 

The dynamics under the high densities and high relative velocities, which result from the impact of a cluster with a surface, is the subject of the next section. 

We know that under certain conditions explosives will be initiated if they are subjected to impact. Low-velocity impact has caused many accidental explo-...
