Rollin Film $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Rollin film, named after Bernard V. Rollin, is a 30 nmthick liquid film of helium in the helium II state. It exhibits a creeping effect in response to surfaces extending past the films level (propagation). Helium II can escape from any nonclosed surface via creeping toward and eventual evaporation from capillaries of 10 7 to 10 8 meters or greater. Rollin films are involved in the fountain effect where superfluid helium leaks out of a container in a fountainlike manner. They have high thermal conductivity. If not for its evaporation in the presence of heat, a Rollin film would have a very low index of refraction and would be nearly transparent (helium I has an index of refraction of 1.026). The ability of superfluid liquids to cross obstacles that lie at a higher level is often referred to as the OnnesEffect, named after Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. The OnnesEffect is enabled by the capillary forces dominating the gravity and viscous forces. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Photography and Flight $29.94 Used for everything from geographic evaluation to secret spy missions, aerial photography has a rich and storied history, ably recounted here in "Photography and Flight." Aerial photography is marked by its dependency on technological developments in both photography and aerospace, and the authors chart the history of this photography as it tracked the evolution of these technologies. Beginning with early images taken from hot-air balloons, fixed platforms, and subsequent handheld camera technology, Denis Cosgrove and William Fox then explain how military reconnaissance and governmental projects were instrumental in catalyzing these and other innovations in the field. They examine pivotal historical moments in which aerial photography began to establish itself as essential tool, such as in World War II military strategies, high-altitude photography taken from postwar rockets and aircraft, and the use of aerial photography during the cold war and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The book also explores the advancement of geographic scholarship through aerial photography, ranging from military excursions into Antarctica to the images of the curvature of the earth taken during the Apollo space missions. While digital technology and remote sensing have changed the landscape of photography, "Photography and Flight" argues that they have not diminished the significance of aerial photography in providing images of the earth. Rather, new technologies and resulting innovations such as Google Earth have enabled the mass democratization of access to such information. "Photography and Flight" ultimately reveals how the camera lens from far away continues to unearth telling details about the land and those who live upon it. |
