Third Workshop on Grand Unification

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill April 15–17, 1982

By: P.H. Frampton,S.L. Glashow,H. Van Dam

This workshop held at the University of North Carolina was in the series which started with meetings in the University of New Hampshire (April 1980) and the University of Michigan (April 1981). More than one hundred participants congregated in the Carolina Inn in April 1982 to discuss the status of grand unified theories and their connection to experiment. The spring foliage of Chapel Hill provided a beautiful back-drop to this Third Workshop on Grand Unification. As mentioned in the first talk herein, these three workshops have heard of indications, respectively, of neutrino oscillations, proton decay and a magnetic monopole. Since all three experimental reports remain unconfirmed, grand unifiers must wait expectantly and patiently. These proceedings preserve faithfully the ordering of the workshop talks which followed the tradition of alternation between theory and experiment. Only our introduction will segregate them. The experimental presentations mainly concerned proton decay and massive neutrinos. Four U.S. proton decay experiments were reported: the Brookhaven Irvine-Michigan experiment in the Morton Salt Mine at Fairport Harbor, Ohio was described by WILLIAM KROPP, and ROBERT MORSE represented the Harvard-Purdue-Wisconsin group in the Silver King Mine, Utah. The Homestake Mine, South Dakota and Soudan Mine, Minnesota, experiments were reported respectively by RICHARD STEINBERG and DAVID AYRES, the latter providing also a survey of future U.S. experiments.

Gas Pipeline Hydraulics

By: E. Shashi Menon Ph.D. P.E,Pramila S. Menon M.B.A.

This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural gas and other compressible fluids being transported through pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of over 38 years of the authors’ experience on pipelines in North and South America while working for major energy companies such as ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.

Psychopharmacology

A Clinician's Guide for the Effective use of Psychotropic Medications

By: David Longo, Ph.D.

This text book is an essential resource representing the medical treatment of psychological disorders for the mental health professional. The book provides information concerning neuron and glia cell functions. Neuroinflammatory activation by stress is described and importance of two glia cells in the brain’s immune response to stress via the interaction with of cytokines which coordinates the immune response and activates neuroinflammation. This activation causes the expression of vulnerable phenotypes which produces the particular psychological disorder. Pharmacokinetics of psychotropic drugs are described in-terms of half-life, steady state, enzyme metabolism of the medication in the liver, and the production of active metabolites which dictates the psychological actions of the drug. The particular drug actions are discussed via down-stream transduction cascades in the neuron which actives or de-actives neuronal genes which leads to the psychotropic drug’s psychological actions. The book delineates the three main transporter genes of the Solute Carrier-6 (SLC6) gene family, which produces neurotransmitters and the therapeutic actions of psychotropic drugs. These neurotransmitters are: serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), acetylcholine (Ach), glutamate (Glu), and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA). The drugs’ side-effects include, restless leg syndrome, hyponatremia, serotonin side-effects, malignant serotonin syndrome, anti-cholinergic side-effects, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), tardive dyskinesia (TD), neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and suicide risk. This section of the book concludes with a discussion of negative drug effects on dental health, diet, and physical complications. The remainder of the text discusses psychological disorders, diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, theoretical models, genetics, neuroanatomy, psychological treatment, and the particular medication used to treat the disorder. For each psychotropic drug the following are provided: dosage, titration, taper, time to work, neurotransmitter profile, specific side effects, enzymes, and metabolites. Switching from one drug to other schedules are listed, along with diagnosis treatment resistant medication strategies. A sample of psychotropic drugs include: Schizophrenia (clozapine, risperidone, paliperidone, and others), anxiety disorders (diazepam, clonazepam, lorazepam, etc.), anti-depressants (fluoxetine, venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, etc), bipolar disorders (mood stabilizers: lithium, valproic acid, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, etc., and anti-psychotics: aripiprazole, lurasidone, rexulti, and cariprazine), Alzheimer Disease (rivastigmine, donepezil, memantine, aducanumab-avwa, et al.), Attention Deficit Disorder (amphetamine D, methylphenidate, etc.), sleep dysfunctions (suvorexant, exzopiclone, zolpidem, benzodiazepines, etc), and addiction (Eating: naltrexone + bupropion, tirzepatide, etc; Smoking: bupropion; Alcohol: disulfiram, naltrexone, etc; and Opioid: methadone, buprenex + naloxone, etc). The text book concludes with a discussion of psychotropic treatment of children and the elderly, including drug dosing adjustments.

The National Environmental Policy Act

The National Environmental Policy Act

Judicial Misconstruction, Legislative Indifference, and Executive Neglect

By: Matthew J. Ph. D. Lindstrom,Matthew J. Lindstrom,Zachary A. Smith

Environmental degradation and the compromised integrity of the earth's ecological system were growing public concerns in the mid to late 1960s. These issues spurred Congress to pass the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the first law to focus such environmental concerns into a comprehensive national policy. The new legislation encompassed an array of environmental values and ethics, as well as administrative tools to achieve the ecological goals of the nation while taking into account other important societal needs. Though NEPA has had a positive effect on U.S. environmental policy and the national quality of life, this challenging new book shows how federal courts and agencies have failed to implement many of the values and goals fundamental to the success of NEPA. To explain this divergence, authors Matthew J. Lindstrom and Zachary A. Smith examine NEPA's origins, address how NEPA has been implemented and enforced, and highlight the shortcomings of its practice. Lindstrom and Smith strongly argue that if NEPA were fully and properly implemented, it would prove to be a valuable and realistic tool for balancing the needs of the world population and the protection of the earth's environment. They offer a new, hopeful look at how the law's structure can be properly utilized in order to give future generations hope of living on a sustainable planet. This book is well suited for audiences interested in public policy formation and implementation, especially environmental policy administrators, environmental historians, and those involved in environmental law, its policy, and its politics.

Beyond Einstein's Unified Field

Gravity and Electro-Magnetism Redefined

By: John Brandenburg, Ph.D.

Veteran plasma physicist John Brandenburg reveals the new theory that finally accomplishes what Einstein failed to do: the GEM Unification Theory proves the mathematical and physical interrelation of the forces of gravity and electromagnetism! This theory vindicates Einstein's dedication to unifying the fields in the final labor of his life. His quest became legendary, then mythic, until the whole idea was dismissed as myth by other physicists; the gravity-electromagnetism problem pursued by Einstein until his death became regarded like the ancient Greek problem of squaring the circle-an epic puzzle with no solution. But the other physicists were wrong, as Brandenburg shows. It turns out the fields can be unified-the circle can be squared-and this has vast implications for the future of humankind. Brandenburg starts out by tracing the evolution of thought on the two long-term forces of nature, gravity and electromagnetism, from ancient times to the modern day. He shows the intricate interweaving of Einstein's work with that of other physicists, including Sarkharov and his "zero point” theory of gravity and the hidden fifth dimension of Kaluza and Klein. He also traces the surprising, hidden influence of Nikola Tesla on Einstein's life. This book shows how, despite Einstein's errors in the details, the successful GEM Unification Theory is built on his basic hypothesis that gravity and electromagnetic forces could be unified, and that both controlled gravity and a new view of the cosmos follow: hydrogen, the basic building block of the universe, can be unified with the vacuum itself! The universe is self-renewing, a sort of "evergreen cosmos.” Brandenburg describes control of space-time geometry through electromagnetism, and states that faster-than-light travel will be possible in the future. Anti-gravity through electromagnetism is possible, which upholds the basic "flying saucer” design utilizing "The Tesla Vortex.” A must read for any person interested in UFOs and leading-edge physics. See the physics used at Area 51 explained!

Offshore Pipelines

Design, Installation, and Maintenance

By: Boyun Guo,Shanhong Song Ph.D.,Ali Ghalambor,Tian Ran Lin PhD

The development of oil and gas fields offshore requires specialized pipeline equipment. The structures must be strong enough to with stand the harshest environments, and ensure that production is not interrupted and remains economically feasible. However, recent events in the Gulf of Mexico have placed a new importance on maintenance and reliability. A new section; Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), introduces the subject of maintenance, written by Tian Ran Lin, Queensland University of Technology, and Yong Sun, CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering. Two of the main objectives of CBM is maximizing reliability while preventing major or minor equipment malfunction and minimizing maintenance costs. In this new section, the authors deal with the multi-objective condition based maintenance optimization problem. CBM provides two major advantages: (1) an efficient approach for weighting maintenance objectives, and (2) a method for specifying physical methods for achieving those objectives. Maintenance cost and reliability objectives are calculated based on proportional hazards model and a control limit CBM replacement policy. Written primarily for engineers and management personnel working on offshore and deepwater oil and gas pipelines, this book covers the fundamentals needed to design, Install, and commission pipeline projects. This new section along with a thorough update of the existing chapters represents a 30% increase in information over the previous edition. - Covers offshore maintenance and maintenance support system - Provides the fundamentals needed to design, Install, and commission pipeline project - Methods and tools to deliver cost effective maintenance cost and system reliability - New section on Condition-Based Maintenance written by Tian Ran Lin, Queensland University of Technology, and Yong Sun, CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering (yong.sun@csiro.au)
