Mee then goes on to state “most people, most of the time, want peace in the world, and they ...

Richard B. Frank’s essay “Assessing Realities” is written to shed a light of perspective into the issue of what line of thinking went into the decision of Truman and his military advisor’s to use atomic weapons on Japanese cities at the end of World War II, and whether or not this was the ethical line of decision making for them to have made. As the author points out, American’s perceptions of the rightness of this decision has changed significantly since the time of the action, when far fewer Americans supporting this action decades after Hiroshima and Nagasaki ...

This has completely changed Mr. Voelz life as he is now in a highly tense ...

The Current State of Research on New Methods and Technologies for the Safety and Reliability of Assessment of Propellants, Explosives and Pyrotechnics1

Abstract

Materials with high energy have in the past and are still in use for both intensive military and civil purposes. Research and studies have been conducted recently to try establishing and inventing new materials likely to have enhanced high performance and that are less sensitive to heat and shock as compared to existing materials. In future military applications have a threshold to be adjusted to. This paper is mainly focusing on the on the advancements, possible formulations of ...
