Microbiological aspects of sterilization development laboratories

Report deals with an investigation of vertical laminar flow clean rooms for use in spacecraft assembly. A reduction of particulate and microbial contamination occurs in the application

A brushless dc spin motor for momentum exchange altitude control

Brushless dc spin motor is designed to use Hall effect probes as means of revolving rotor position and controlling motor winding currents. This results in 3 to 1 reduction in watt-hours required for wheel acceleration, a 2 to 1 reduction in power to run wheel, and a 10 to 1 reduction in the electronics size and weight

Determination of Mica Cell Parameters by X-Ray Powder Diffractometry — A Case Study

Possibilities and restrictions of least-square methods for mica cell refinement are briefly described. If diffractometric raw data are precise and accurate, and if geometrical errors are properly corrected, a cell refinement (determination of ao, bo, cO, β) can be carried out rapidly, but the reliability of obtained data has to be evaluated carefull

Using Satellites to Probe Extrasolar Planet Formation

Planetary satellites are an integral part of the heirarchy of planetary systems. Here we make two predictions concerning their formation. First, primordial satellites, which have an array of distinguishing characteristics, form only around giant planets. If true, the size and duration of a planetary system's protostellar nebula, as well as the location of its snow line, can be constrained by knowing which of its planets possess primordial satellites and which do not. Second, all satellites around terrestrial planets form by impacts. If true, this greatly enhances the constraints that can be placed on the history of terrestrial planets by their satellites' compositions, sizes, and dynamics
