The International Trafficking In Arms Regulations: Precluding Innovation In Academic Spacecraft Engineering — Or Are They?, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek Feb 2013

The International Trafficking In Arms Regulations: Precluding Innovation In Academic Spacecraft Engineering — Or Are They?, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek

Jeremy Straub

Government regulations and uncertainty about their enforcement can be a significant barrier to innovation. In business, it is undesirable to consume time and other resources developing a product that cannot be sold or which requires navigating significant bureaucracy for each sale. In academ-ia, where limited funding is available prior to the submission of a grant pro-posal and receipt of an award, proposal-stage compliance costs can derail a project long before it begins. This paper reviews the International Traffick-ing in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and their impact on spacecraft research in academia, private research labs and industry. It reviews the exemptions available, …


Universe Galaxy Contraction, Struck Force Table New Forces, New Universes, New Elements, Sociological Implications, James T. Struck Jan 2013

Universe Galaxy Contraction, Struck Force Table New Forces, New Universes, New Elements, Sociological Implications, James T. Struck

Universe Galaxy Contraction, Struck Force Table and New Forces, New More Charged Universe and In Between Universe, 12 New Chemical Elements-Universe galaxy contraction is supported by quasar blueshift of some material, Andromeda Galaxy movement towards the Milky Way, blazar movement towards Earth, Earth, galaxy movement towards the Great Attractor, Hydra Centaurus and Shapley Supercluster and some evidence of Virgo Cluster movement at a 250-300 km/s rate. Contraction might be happening at a lesser rate than expansion, but contraction of the Universe and galaxies may effect our Earth before expansion affects us. From a sociological viewpoints, Universe galaxy contraction is something …

Challenges And Prospects Of Processes Utilising Carbonic Anhydrase For Co2 Separation, Patrycja Szeligiewicz, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Jan 2013

Challenges And Prospects Of Processes Utilising Carbonic Anhydrase For Co2 Separation, Patrycja Szeligiewicz, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

This article provides an analysis of processes for separation CO2 by using carbonic anhydrase enzyme with particular emphasis on reactive-membrane solutions. Three available processes are characterised. Main challenges and prospects are given. It is found that in view of numerous challenges practical applications of these processes will be difficult in near future. Further research is therefore needed for improving existing processes through finding methods for eliminating their main drawbacks such as short lifetime of carbonic anhydrase or low resistance of reactive membrane systems to impurities contained in flue gases from power plants.
