Stacked sheets of polyethylene terephthalate andpolystyrene provide a means
for recovering projectiles travelling at hypervelocities. The transparency of these
multiple diaphragms is utilized so that light generated from hypervelocity impacts
can be studied.
A method for gathering visible as well as ultraviolet light from less
transparent polymer foams has been...
Shocked porous granular material experiences pressure dependent compaction. D. John
Pastine introduced a model in which the degree of compaction is dependent on the pressure induced
by the shock wave, the shear strength of the material, and the distribution of void sizes. In the
past, the model could only be...
Allochthonous litter inputs are a primary source of organic matter in low-order
forested streams. A major component of this litter moves through small streams as fine
particulate organic matter (FPOM). Litter decomposition has been well studied, but few
studies have examined benthic FPOM (FBOM) dynamics. The purpose of this study...
