    The Conversion of Liquid Rocket Fuels : Risk Assessment, Technology and Treatment Options for the Conversion of Abandoned Liquid Ballistic Missile Propellants (Fuels and Oxidizers) in Azerbaijan (2004)
    Springer
    Details
    Description / Table of Contents: Prof. Dr. -Ing. Wolfgang Spyra Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus, Germany The demilitarization and conversion of military properties wor- wide has been a topic of growing importance since the end of the Cold War. The slowing of the arms race brought on by weapons treaties and relaxed tensions between NATO and Warsaw Pact nations caused sto- piles of conventional weapons to become superfluous. The need to process and dispose of such weapons began more quickly in NATO countries. This demilitarization process began shortly after the reunification of Germany and was largely completed by the mid to late 1990’s. The remaining process, no small task in itself, of converting lands formerly used by the military into safe and environmentally acceptable landscapes may continue for decades to come. Due to a lack of resources and technology, the process of demilitarization in the former Warsaw Pact countries has launched more slowly. In 2002 both Georgia and Moldova finished projects which destroyed their stocks of liquid ballistic missile components. Both these projects were carried out through the cooperative support of trans-national organizations, private contractors, and research institutions. The Republic of Azerbaijan now finds itself at the beginning of its demilitarization process. Stored at the country’s military depots are over 2000 tons of missile fuels, oxidizer, and chemical additives. This hazardous waste is kept in tanks intended only for temporary transport and storage.

    Description / Table of Contents: The 17 chapters of this book grew out of the tutorial lectures given by leading world-class experts at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop “Effects of Space Weather on Technology Infrastructure” - ESPRIT, which was held in Rhodes on March 25-29, 2004. All manuscripts were refereed and subsequently meticulously edited by the editor to ensure the highest quality for this monograph. I owe particular thanks to the lecturers of the ESPRIT Advanced Research Workshop for producing these excellent tutorial reviews, which convey the essential knowledge and the latest advances in our field. Due to the breadth, extensive literature citations and quality of the reviews we expect this publication to serve extremely well as a reference book. Multimedia material referring to individual chapters of the book is accessible on the accompanying CD. The aim of ESPRIT was to assess existing knowledge and identify future actions regarding monitoring, forecasting and mitigation of space weather induced malfunction and damage of vital technological systems operating in space and on the ground.

    Publication Date: 2019-07-17
    Description: Lattice-gas cellular automata (LGCA) and lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) are relatively new andpromising methods for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations. The bookprovides an introduction for graduate students and researchers. Working knowledge of calculus isrequired and experience in PDEs and fluid dynamics is recommended. Some peculiarities of cellularautomata are outlined in Chapter 2. The properties of various LGCA and special coding techniquesare discussed in Chapter 3. Concepts from statistical mechanics (Chapter 4) provide the necessarytheoretical background for LGCA and LBM. The properties of lattice Boltzmann models and amethod for their construction are presented in Chapter 5.

    Effect of "spraying" by fighting honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.) on the temporal structure of fights (2000)
    Springer
    Insectes sociaux 47 (2000), S. 21-26 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9098
    Keywords: Key words:Apis, honey bee, conflict, pheromone, fighting behaviour, colony founding.
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary: Young queens start a new colony either without (independently) or with the help of workers (dependently). When colony reproduction is dependent and young queens are produced in excess, conflicts among queens are predicted to occur. Honey bee colonies reproduce dependently by swarming. The mother queen leaves with a "prime swarm" before daughter queens reach adulthood. Several young queens are produced, and often fight to death after emergence. Surviving queen(s) inherit the established nest or a portion of workers which then depart in an "afterswarm". Honey bee queens show traits considered to be adaptations for fighting and conflict with other queens, such as early venom production and fast development. During fights one of the queens often releases rectal fluid. The function of this "spraying" behaviour is unclear. Possible functions of spraying are to affect worker intervention in fights, to act as a chemical weapon, or to interrupt fights. We staged fights between 24 queen pairs to investigate the temporal pattern of behaviour in spraying and non-spraying fights. Spraying occurred in 67% of the fights, usually upon physical contact, and it resulted in at least temporary separation of the queens in 81% of the spraying fights. Spraying fights were characterized by a significantly lower proportion of time spent in escalated aggression than non-spraying fights and a significantly shorter first escalated bout. This provides quantitative evidence that spraying interrupts fights and suggests that its function is to provide a temporary respite to the spraying queen.

    Food habits of Aenictus army ants and their effects on the ant community in a rain forest of Borneo (2000)
    Springer
    Insectes sociaux 47 (2000), S. 42-49 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9098
    Keywords: Key words:Aenictus, army ants, ant community, Borneo.
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary: In a rain forest at the foot of Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo, we observed the food habits of Aenictus laeviceps and A. gracilis and surveyed the effects of A. laeviceps on the general ant community. We collected totals of 2,360 and 6,268 prey units, respectively, from seven A. laeviceps and six A. gracilis colonies; ants constituted 99.9% of all prey units. Dominant prey genera were Camponotus (48.2% in wet weight), Pseudolasius (20.8%), and Polyrhachis (15.2%) in A. laeviceps and Technomymex (52.1%), Paratrechina (22.4%), and Crematogaster (11.9%) in A. gracilis. A. laeviceps primarily hunted larger ground ants with small- or medium-sized colonies; in contrast, A. gracilis frequently foraged on smaller arboreal ants with larger colonies. Of the total wet weight of prey ants, brood constituted 88.7% in A. laeviceps and only 68.7% in A. gracilis. This was probably because workers of A. gracilis were quicker in behavior and hunted adult workers more frequently than A. laeviceps. While 98.5% of the prey units were transported by single workers of A. gracilis, 71.5% were carried by up to 20 A. laeviceps workers. The numbers of ant colonies and species were significantly smaller in laeviceps-raided quadrats than in controls. This was mostly due to the escape of ants that nested under litter and had relatively larger colonies. Large colonies usually influence the foundation and establishment of incipient small colonies.

    Changes in worker polymorphism in Myrmicaria opaciventris Emery (Formicidae, Myrmicinae) (2000)
    Springer
    Insectes sociaux 47 (2000), S. 50-55 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9098
    Keywords: Key words: Colony founding, polymorphism, Myrmicinae, Myrmicaria opaciventris.
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary: The colony ontogeny of Myrmicaria opaciventris was studied by comparing worker number and worker size in foundations with one queen (haplometrosis) or 2 to 6 queens (pleometrosis) and in established colonies. Measurements taken of head width related to scape length showed that the worker caste is weakly polymorphic and exhibits a unimodal size distribution. Classically, the first workers produced in both types of foundations are smaller than those emerging later. Moreover, the worker caste allometry changes with the type of foundation and the age of colony: it varies from a negative allometry for haplometrotic foundations to a stage of isometry in pleometrotic foundations and finally a positive allometry for established colonies. The number of workers produced by the queens is classically larger in pleometrotic than in haplometrotic foundations. However, two uncommon phenomena are described in this species: (1) queen association during colony founding increases their individual fecundity; and (2) the workers produced differ in size and allometry according to the type of foundation.
