White helped establish the Lovelace Medical Center in 1947. Sam White was a Rhodes scholar. He earned a baccalaureate in physiology at Oxford, giving him a year and a half of credit at medical school at the University of Colorado. After graduating in 1942, he spent the rest of World War II and two postwar years in the Navy, where he did medical research. Dr. White developed the field of blast biology, the study of how explosions affect people immediately and over time. His studies helped determine how to aim atomic bombs, treat blast victims and improve bomb shelters. Until his work, most medical research had centered on radiation and heat, rather than on the percussive effects. His research was reported in 2 books and 125 papers on subjects that included the effects on the lungs from breathing small particles. The particles research, originally on material from nuclear blasts, extended to the effects of inhaling aerosol consumer products, diesel exhausts and other substances. His studies of the effects of the two bombs dropped on Japan suggested that the effects of the blast were initially more dangerous. This report, prepared to delineate some of the fundamental accelerative and decelerative events associated with exposure to air-blast-induced winds and pressure variations and to elucidate the major biophysical parameters now known to influence dynamic load-response relationships among many mammals, is in essence a synthesizing summary of the more recent advances in blast and shock biology. The material was presented before the Symposium on Linear Acceleration of the Impact Type held June 23-26, 1971, in Porto, Portugal, under the sponsorship of the Aerospace Medical Panel, Advisory Group for Aeronautical Research and Development, North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The important variables, the etiologic concepts, the early and delayed effects, the interspecies scaling, and the tentative biomedical criteria derived for the human case are among the significant understandings and accomplishments stemming from a research effort that has been under way continuously since 1951. Because there have been no systematic investigations of blast effects in the very young and very old, the information at hand may or may not apply to these groups. Also, the presentation does not cover experience with "small explosions" occurring near or against the body surface and causing only local damage, as might result from the detonation of land mines and hand-held dynamite caps. The data, directly applicable mostly to "fast-rising" blast overpressures and to charges ranging in size from pounds to megatons of TNT-equivalent yield, have been and are broadly useful to organizations manufacturing, using, and controlling high-energy liquids, solid propellants, high-pressure gases, and explosives both nuclear and conventional in type. This includes military and civilian personnel including range and missile-base safety officers, service and industrial physicians, safety engineers, physicians who care for those injured by blast and other varieties of "high-energy" trauma; to firms engaged in sea, air, and ground transportation; and to management and operating employees responsible for assessing hazards and preventing accidents through protective design of structures, vehicles, and equipment; and through the enforcement of operating procedures that enhance safety.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This "non-fiction novel" helps prevent the destruction of electricity and electronics that instantly results from an upper atmospheric detonation of a nuclear weapon (EMP = High altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) by a terrorist or rogue nation. Over roughly a 500-1,000 mile ground radius, an EMP explosion burns out most computers, electronic-control systems, telecommunication and transportation devices. Airplanes lose control; vehicles dysfunction; elevators get stuck; subways stop; lighted structures go dark; radio and TV cease; and commerce comes to a near halt. Humans are not killed: infra-structure remains physically intact. Scientists, military, industry and others testifying before Congress say this is an event waiting to happen - "Not if, but when. The USA Dept. of Defense has EMP protected it's Navy ships, other military structures, and selected government office buildings. Yet, little EMP protection exists in the civil sector of commercial and residential infrastructures, solar farms and the electric grid. Therefore, these voids of protection provide new options in this faction for EMP protecting new component and system hardware design with cost estimates, insurance and who pays and how. For town participating folks, this "non-fiction novel" is written mostly in the third person. It also provides a sequel to Forstchen's, New York Times bestseller, "One Second After" wherein he describes a catastrophic dysfunctional life following an EMP incident. My book describes two contrasting towns 200 miles apart in Virginia, both exposed to the same EMP incident. The first town is not EMP protected. The other town is over 95% EMP protected. What an enormous survival and lifestyle difference! These two post-EMP town episodes are contrasted in each chapter, depicted in time sequence, such as the day of the EMP event, one week later, one month later, etc. Each time elapse chapter also has a third part which is "lessons learned" from the post EMP events of the contrasting towns. This goes on till one year later, in the final chapter, an enormous contrast is presented between the two towns via a remarkable but compassionate summary of lessons learned. The novel part is a thriller and written for the general public level in order that the lay can follow the action. It is also highly illustrated by drawings, graphs, diagrams, charts, tables, and photos to support the text and tutorials. Shielded solar rooftops are a major part of an EMP protection plan and survival, since, with few exceptions, batteries and generator fuel shortage cannot handle the electrical load when electric grid goes down. Plan for this while producing new products and services, opening new markets, and prospering from income and jobs so generated. That's what this "non-fiction" novel combo offers. Enjoy the thriller as you read; follow the material and apply its teachings. This item is printed on demand.
