INTRODUCTION In 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the first time in human history. Since 1945, many studies (1,2,3,4) have been performed on the effects of the atomic bomb radiation, for example, the physical damage and medical studies of the atomic bomb survivors and so on. In 1972, the Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster (renamed as the Division...

The extensive nuclear bomb testing of the fifties and sixties and the final tests in the seventies caused a strong 36Cl peak that has been observed in ice cores worldwide. The measured 36Cl deposition fluxes in eight ice cores (Dye3, Fiescherhorn, Grenzgletscher, Guliya, Huascarán, North GRIP, Inylchek (Tien Shan) and Berkner Island) were compared with an ECHAM5-HAM general circulation model si...

In 1986, M. Philips, graduate student of Princeton University proved that the manufacture if micro atomic bombs are possible. To make an atomic bomb several costly raw materials are required. The preparation process is very dangerous. A very huge amount of money is needed. It is possible for a replica of an atomic bomb? And also without any raw materials and facing risk of process? The answer i...

The SMRI has developed a new nutsch bomb which has several advantages over existing models. It is lighter, easier to load/clean and separates molasses at a faster rate. Puri-ties of molasses from the SMRI bomb were the same as those from conventional nutsch separators. Introduction The conventional nutsch bomb using a horizontal screen arrangement had proved to be very slow in extracting

Atomic bomb survivors have been reported to have an increased risk of some cancers, especially leukemia. However, the risk of prostate cancer in atomic bomb survivors is not known to have been examined previously. This study examined the association between atomic bomb radiation and the incidence of prostate cancer among male Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors. The subjects were classified by dista...

Seventeen patients with parathyroid gland tumors underwent surgical resection at the Hiroshima University Hospital between 1956 and 1988. Three of them where born after the atomic bomb explosion, and 6 of the remaining 14 patients (42.9% of the total- a high proportion) were atomic bomb survivors. Because parathyroid gland tumors and hyperparathyroidism are assumed to develop in patients who ha...

The Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) and its successor Radiation Effect Research Foundation (RERF) has over the years conducted many studies to determine possible genetic effects of atomic bomb radiation among the offspring of atomic bomb survivors. Findings concerning mortality and cancer incidence of the offspring are summarized in this chapter.

The paper presents a robot that constantly navigates to perceive any fire in its surroundings. Fire in its surrounding using IR Fire Sensor and. Can detect the presence of a live bomb as well. PIC Peripheral Interface Controller is the most.

Question has been raised about the possible impact sea state which may have on the performance of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Assault Breaching System (JABS) in the very shallow water (VSW) regime (depth up to 40 ft). We investigated the wave effect on underwater bomb trajectory. We will present: (1) development of a new version of the NPS 6 DOF model with the capability to predict ...
