During the last decade, a rapid growth of knowledge in the field of re-entry and planetary entry has resulted in many significant advances useful to the student, engineer and scientist. Accordingly, this course is organized into five parts: Part 1, Entry Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Physics and Radiation;

The stability of motion of such bodies, in particular, has been the subject of study by Soviet engineers and applied mathematicians who have brought their fuH powers of analysis to bear on the problem, and have succeeded in developing a very weH-founded body of theory.

The book Foams: Theory and Industrial Applications, written by the undersigned and three collaborators and published in 1953, is still the only monograph on liquid foam in the English language. Foam Films (Sections 1-22) 1 Foam Films 5 References 30 2.

On first acquaintance the electric arc discharge appears to be both visually attractive and a relatively simple phenomena to understand. As a result of this increased interest in the arc, the expert and would-be expert is now faced with the problem of assessing extensive newly published information on arc properties.

In this volume I attempt to present concisely the physical principles underlying the operation and performance characteristics of the class of semiconductor p-n-p-n switches known as thyristors.

This book is devoted to some of the problems encountered in the theory of sophisticated signals used in radar. The term sophisticated signal is under stood to mean a signal for which the product of the signal duration by the spectrum width substantially exceeds unity.

During the last decade, rapid growth of knowledge in the field of jet, rocket, nuclear, ion and electric propulsion has resulted in many advances useful to the student, engineer and scientist. SUTTON who wrote Chapter 5 "Rockets and Cooling Methods," DR . Ross who wrote Chapter 8 "Advanced Nuclear Rocket Design," MR.

The influence of the dynamics of the liquid on the motions of the container itself is a most interesting and complex aspect of the general subject, whether one considers only the rigid-body motions of the container or its elastic motions as well.

Geometrical optics is no longer fashionable. This small book is intended to treat two aspects of the subject: the laws of geometrical optics and their application to the design of optical instruments. The laws of geometrical optics can be formulated much more simply and their physical significance is revealed more clearly.
