Book Description
Morgan Turbot is the present owner of a thirty-six feet long lifeboat. This lifeboat has a mysterious past and fi rst comes to our notice as the only survivor of an encounter between a Norwegian coastal freighter and a German sub-marine. After the Second World War, the lifeboat re-starts life as a two-masted sailing yacht. The yacht is haunted and the ghost of a girl that perished in the boat drives off anybody that shows an interest until Morgan Turbot acquires her. In 2009, Morgan and a female passenger are en route from Townsville to Bowen when they encounter a strange electrical storm. Just before the storm hits, Morgan sees his friend, Harry Knott, coming towards him in a motor launch, he waves at him but the roiling mist associated with the natural phenomenon, swallows them and they lose sight of each other. Time stands still but then things go back to normal, the mist melts away, and the yacht sails on. Four years later another yachty friend of Harry Knott loses his yacht under similar circumstances and Harry investigates. Meanwhile Morgan Turbot records his experiences.

High-Temperature Measurements of Materials
Author: Hiroyuki Fukuyama
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540859187
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A variety of industries – information technology, aerospace, automobile, and basic and new materials manufacturing – need technological innovations, which bring high-value-added and high-quality products at low cost not only because of global competition, but also because of the perspective of en- ronmental consciousness and regulation. Thermophysical properties of hi- temperature melts are indispensable for numerical simulations of material processes such as semiconductor and optical crystal growth of the melt, and castingofsuper-high-temperaturealloysforjet-engineturbineblades,inad- tion to welding in automobile manufacturing. Recent developments in process modeling provide 3D unsteady analysis of melt convection, temperature, and heat ?ux distribution, which enables us to predict product quality. In fact, 3D process visualization using computer modeling helps us to understand complicated phenomena occurring in the melt and to control the process. Accurate data are necessary to improve the modeling, which co- e?ectively engenders high-quality products. However, crucial obstacles render measurements of thermophysical properties di?cult at elevated temperatures because of high chemical reactivity and ?uidity of melts. Substantial and persistent challenges have been made to ascertain the precise thermophysical properties of high-temperature melts. This book describes the new techniques and latest developments in the measurements of atomic structure, density, surface tension, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal and mass di?usivity, th- mal conductivity, emissivity, and electrical conductivity of high-temperature melts. In addition to up-to-date improvements in conventional techniques, some new attempts are introduced to open a new scienti?c ?eld, that is, physics of high-temperature melts.

Microsystem Technology

ISBN: 9783764357740
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
Biomolecular studies are the trial of Man to understand how Nature manages information at the molecular level. The understanding of molecular informa tion handling in nature is essential for the molecular optimization in chem istry, molecular biology, molecular pharmacology and therefore - as an ex ample - for the development of specifically acting drugs. The famous recent method of technical information management is digital electronics. Over the past few years, evidence has arisen that computerized and molecular information managements have many similar and overlapping aspects. For example, both technology and nature use digitized information and both use small structures for the efficient handling of information. Furthermore, they optimize their processes in order to gain a maximum of information with a minimum of invested energy. During the last two decades, novel experimental techniques in biomolec ular sciences have paved the way for artificial biomolecular optimization. In the same time interval, the progress of micro system technology has been extended from the field of digital electronics and sensing to micro liquid hand ling, and the field of chip-supported substance handling began. It appears that the "marriage" of physical micro technology and molecular processing will be consummated soon. The contact of both fields has been realized in for ex ample DNA chips. Such connections will also become relevant in additional fields in the near future. Biomolecular investigations are the first to profit from these fast growing scientific and technical connections between micro systems and molecular sciences.
