We describe progress toward detection of pathogens through Raman spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet using the hydrogen Lyman alpha line at 121.6 nm.
The USS Arleigh Burke, being the first of a new class of ships, presented many challenges to both the production and test crews that worked on her. This paper discusses the unique conditions that the Aegis Test Team faced in the completion of the test program. A historical perspective of why the Arleigh Burke class was chosen as the battle force combatant, differences between the Ticonderoga class design and how they forced a re‐thinking of the classic test plan, time proven versus innovative testing techniques, and unique problems encountered and their solutions are discussed. The paper highlights the fundamental differences between the planned ship design, construction and test plan caused by the fluctuations of the dynamic shipyard environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
