This open access is an educational text on reactor physics experiments and is described based on a careful examination of the contents and pedagogical benefits obtained from the book Nuclear Reactor Physics Experiments by T. Misawa, H. Unesaki, and C. H. Pyeon (2010) from Kyoto University Press, Japan. The current volume comprehensively covers basic and applied topics on experiment using nuclear reactors, including exponential experiment, uranium enrichment measurement and subcriticality measurements, in addition to approach-to-criticality experiment, control rod calibration experiment, and reaction rate measurement by the activation foil method.

From Laboratory Spectroscopy to Remotely Sensed Spectra of Terrestrial Ecosystems


Free Download From Laboratory Spectroscopy to Remotely Sensed Spectra of Terrestrial Ecosystems By Fares M. Howari, Philip C. Goodell (auth.), Ranjan S. Muttiah (eds.)
2002 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 9048160766 | PDF | 14 MB
Remote sensing of the environment is covered through spectroscopic analysis of soil and vegetation response during active and passive sensing. Fundamental aspects of spectroscopic methods for environmental applications are given. Applications range from remote sensing of saline soils, soil moisture detection, landscape evolution, weed detection, fluorescence imaging, and use of vegetation indices to measure ecosystem variables such as plant stress.

Forensic Science Laboratory Experiment Manual and Workbook


Free Download Nicholas Petraco, "Forensic Science Laboratory Experiment Manual and Workbook"
English | 2002 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 0849315085 | PDF | 3,2 mb
Unlike other forensic science laboratory manuals, Forensic Science Laboratory Experiment Manual and Workbook provides many experiments suitable for non-science majors and attainable for departments with small budgets. Most of the exercises can be conducted with materials that are either readily available in chemistry and biology departments or can be purchased without significant expenditure. The experiments cover all the typical trace evidence tests including body fluid, soil, glass, fiber, ink, and hair. The book also includes experiments for impression evidence, such as fingerprints, shoes, and firearms, as well as the use of photography and basic microscopy. An ideal laboratory companion to the Forensic Science: Scientific and Investigative Techniques textbook, this concise manual also serves as an excellent stand-alone workbook.

Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas A Festschrift for Professor Sir Robert Wilson


Free Download Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas: A Festschrift for Professor Sir Robert Wilson By Allan J. Willis, Thomas W. Hartquist (auth.), A. J. Willis, T. W. Hartquist (eds.)
1996 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 9048147298 | PDF | 14 MB
Throughout his career Sir Robert Wilson has demonstrated that advances in a wide variety of fields in astrophysics and laboratory physics are achievable through the application of fundamental plasma spectroscopy. His work has included: optical studies that probed the nature of interstellar dust and first revealed the existence of O star winds; vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray diagnosis of fusion plasmas; rocket ultraviolet and X-ray observations of the Sun; and the conception, development and use of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite which has contributed greatly to stellar, interstellar and extragalactic astrophysics. This volume contains reviews honouring Sir Robert and reflecting his interests.

Learning in a Writing Laboratory For a Pedagogy of Love and Freedom


Free Download Tatiana Chemi, "Learning in a Writing Laboratory: For a Pedagogy of Love and Freedom "
English | ISBN: 303167247X | 2024 | 361 pages | EPUB, PDF | 25 MB + 10 MB
This book is an exploration of a collective writing laboratory designed to stimulate creativity and critical reflection for education professionals. The authors uncover how a writing lab can help educators develop their teaching practices and identities by means of critical-creative, collaborative, relational and arts-based methodologies. A theoretical insight into pedagogies of love and freedom illustrating how laboratory practices in education can become acts of daily care, the book will appeal to students and scholars of education, arts-based methods and creativity.
