British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Recent advances in fish cytogenetics have enhanced the interest in chromosome analysis in both fundamental (systematics and comparative genomics among fishes and other vertebrate groups) and applied (aquaculture conservation and response to pollutants whole genome sequencing of model fish species) research. Although the genomic material the chromosomes is basically the same in the various organisms experience has clearly shown that fish chromosomes have to be handled with specific protocols. In laboratories around the world traditional cytogenetic techniques and molecular cytogenetics have seen a vast improvement but the technical details and protocols are often not published in scientific journals because of constraints in format and size and therefore they are not accessible to the whole scientific community. These shortcomings are very well known to fish cytogeneticists and the idea to prepare a specific manual was first discussed during the first Workshop of Fish Cytogenetics held in Concarneau (France) in 1992. Resulting from the above workshop a draft compilation of the techniques and protocols in fish cytogenetics available at that time had been produced and distributed privately but never published. There does not exist at present any published handbook or manual specifically dealing with fish cytogenetics. This book fills this void by bringing together and updating the main techniques so that the traditional methods can be standardized. Moreover this book includes novel developments or improvements; some of the protocols provided here are practically unknown to the scientific community and even now unpublished. | Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Conventional computed tomography (CT) techniques employ a narrow array of x-ray detectors and a fan-shaped x-ray beam to rotate around the patient to produce images of thin sections of the patient. Large sections of the body are covered by moving the patient into the rotating x-ray detector and x-ray source gantry. Cone beam CT is an alternative technique using a large area detector and cone-shaped x-ray beam to produce 3D images of a thick section of the body with one full angle (360 degree or 180 degree plus detector coverage) rotation. It finds applications in situations where bulky conventional CT systems would interfere with clinical procedures or cannot be integrated with the primary treatments or imaging systems. Cone Beam Computed Tomography explores the past present and future state of medical x-ray imaging while explaining how cone beam CT with its superior spatial resolution and compact configuration is used in clinical applications and animal research. The book:Supplies a detailed introduction to cone beam CT covering basic principles and applications as well as advanced techniquesExplores state-of-the-art research and future developments while examining the fundamental limitations of the technologyAddresses issues related to implementation and system characteristics including image quality artifacts radiation dose and perceptionReviews the historical development of medical x-ray imaging from conventional CT techniques to volumetric 3D imagingDiscusses the major components of cone beam CT: image acquisition reconstruction processing and displayA reference work for scientists engineers students and imaging professionals Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides a solid understanding of the theory and implementation of this revolutionary technology.

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography is a comprehensive cover of the latest developments in the most prevalent imaging modality (x-ray computed tomography (CT)) in its latest incarnation: Spectral Dual-Energy and Photon Counting CT. Disadvantages of the conventional single-energy technique used by CT technology are that different materials cannot be distinguished and that the noise is larger. To address these problems a novel spectral CT concept has been proposed. Spectral Dual-Energy CT (DE-CT) acquires two sets of spectral data and Spectral Photon Counting CT (PC-CT) detects energy of x-ray photons to reveal additional material information of objects by using novel energy-sensitive photon-counting detectors. The K-edge imaging may be a gateway for functional or molecular CT. The book covers detectors and electronics image reconstruction methods image quality assessments a simulation tool nanoparticle contrast agents and clinical applications for spectral CT. | Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications

Abortion in the USA and the UK

Abortion in the USA and the UK

Recent years have revealed the different experiences of abortion in the UK and the USA. The United States has a higher abortion rate accompanied by a higher political profile for the issue. In fact one of George W. Bush's first acts in 2001 was to ban American funding for overseas organizations carrying out abortions. The USA has also experienced a higher degree of abortion-related violence with several people linked to abortion services being targeted and even killed. Compelling and enlightening in its approach this invigorating volume compares the two countries' abortion laws and outlines the distinctions. The usually conservative American society has a much more liberal abortion law than the United Kingdom whose female citizens can obtain an abortion relatively easily although in fact they do not have the right to choose. This stimulating volume examines the comparative positions taken by each country and makes important suggestions for the future. | Abortion in the USA and the UK
