Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is August of 1942. Nineteen brave pilots of U.S. Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-223 must fly into the jaws of Hell. Like the brave Greek defenders at the pass of Thermopylae in 480 BC, these few aviators will play a major role in the fierce struggle to hold out against the Empire of Japan. Guadalcanal may be the closest thing to Hell on Earth; but it is strategically too important for either country to give it up. The mortgage payment for this real estate will have to be made in human blood and much more. This is based upon the true story of a marine fighter double-ace and recipient of the Navy Cross.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Stapled at upper left corner. Condition: Good. 056309-1 through 056309-7. Tables Figures. Footnotes. Experiments on the Z accelerator with deuterium gas-puff implosions have produced up to 3.7×1013 (±20%) neutrons at 2.34 MeV (±0.10 MeV). Although the mechanism for generating these neutrons was not definitively identified, this neutron output is 100 times more than previously observed from neutron-producing experiments at Z. Dopant gases in the deuterium (argon and chlorine) were used to study implosion characteristics and stagnated plasma conditions through x-ray yield measurements and spectroscopy. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) calculations have suggested that the dopants improved the neutron output through better plasma compression, which has been studied in experiments increasing the dopant fraction. Scaling these experiments, and additional MHD calculations, suggest that approximately 5×1014 deuterium-deuterium (DD) neutrons could be generated at the 26-MA refurbished Z facility. Sandia's Z machine is the world's most powerful and efficient laboratory radiation source. It uses high magnetic fields associated with high electrical currents to produce high temperatures, high pressures, and powerful X-rays for research in high energy density science. The Z machine creates conditions found nowhere else on Earth. Z is part of Sandia's Pulsed Power program, which began in the 1960s. Z is crucial to Sandia's mission to ensure the reliability and safety of our nuclear stockpile as it ages - it allows scientists to study materials under conditions similar to those produced by the detonation of a nuclear weapon, and it produces key data used to validate physics models in computer simulations. High current, gas-puff Z-pinches are an excellent way to produce radiating HED plasmas in the laboratory. In a gas-puff Z-pinch plasma, the voltage across the puff initiates a breakdown in the gas and the resultant current density (J) combines with the magnetic field (B) to form the radially inward force ( J × B) that compresses the plasma onto the axis. The stagnated hot, dense, pinched plasma provides an intense radiation source. Z-pinch plasmas are optically thick and radiation transport is of comparable importance to magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), atomic physics, and other transport processes. Argon gas-puff implosions on the pulsed power Z generator at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) are a demonstrated efficient source of K-shell X-rays (>3 keV).
