TLDR
This is really two separate books within the same pair of covers, which are devoted to the discussion of similarity and dimensional, methods and their application to a variety of problems in mechanics and fluid mechanics.
Abstract
By L I Sedov London: Cleaver-Hume Press Ltd Pp xvi + 363 Price 105s This is really two separate books within the same pair of covers First of all Chapters 1-3, some 145 pages, are devoted to the discussion of similarity and dimensional, methods and their application to a variety of problems in mechanics and fluid mechanics

Hypersonic and high temperature gas dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the properties of high-temperature gas dynamics, including the effects of high temperature on the dynamics of Viscous Flow and Vibrational Nonequilibrium Flows.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of pulsed laser ablation of biological tissues.

TL;DR: It was found that the structure and morphology also affect the energy transport among tissue constituents and therefore the ablation efficiency of biological tissues is increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaling, dimensional analysis, and indentation measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the basic concepts of scaling and dimensional analysis, followed by a review of some of the recent work on applying these concepts to modeling instrumented indentation measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

In the Beginning: The First Sources of Light and the Reionization of the Universe

TL;DR: The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transformation of the universe from its smooth initial state to its clumpy current state as discussed by the authors, and the study of high-redshift sources is likely to attract major attention in observational and theoretical cosmology over the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photophysical processes in recent medical laser developments: A review

TL;DR: In this article, the physical processes that govern different microscopic mechanisms of laser-tissue interaction are discussed. And four distinct photophysical groups are considered in a general classification of these specific modes of interaction: continuous wave exposure, photothermal and photochemical transformations; and, for pulsed irradiations, the electromechanical and the photoablative processes.
