Book Description

Sana gets a part in a TV movie, costarring with a hot new actress, but she'll never get to the studio if she can't survive the bullies at school. Akito "the Demon" Hayama continues his reign of terror so Sana comes up with a crazy plot to put him in his place. Sana takes advantage of Akito's fear of heights and challenges him to a bungee jumping contest! Maybe the world's biggest bully will finally back down.

Great Series.......2006-06-17

This was the first series of manga I read. I loved it! It had me hooked, I would read every volume in one sitting... The characters and the plot are fantastic, and I have yet to find a manga i like as much as Kodocha.

i have to say... (id actually give it a 3,5 stars...).......2006-05-28

(this review is about the entire series)

sana's stage was the first manga i ever read or even heard about. the story isn't bad, just a little overinduligent. the overall story is a sweet with a girl falling in love with the classroom bully (who she despises at first). then the epic love story begins... she falls in love with him, he falls in love with her, things threaten to tear them apart, the find each other in the end. it's your basis stupid teenager love story.

i suppose near the end, sana has sort of an emotional breakdown and it's up to akito to save her. basically it's your teenage story with a couple "scary" parts at the end (of the series).

it's a good story, not a lot to recommend it as something you would want to read over and over and over again for the rest of your life, but if your bored and have nothing to do, it's good for a brief sense of supidity to revitalize your spirits.

**the humor is awesome, i love sana's mum's hair and how it changes every day,

Kodocha: Sana's Stage, Not your average "Comedy".......2006-04-18

Kodocha is a wonderful series. This book will hook you from the very beginning that you read it. It's a shame to see that many people have forgotten about this wonderful series recently, but I'm still a die-hard fan of it so, fans who came to find this book, BUY IT! Trust me, it's well worth your money and will get you hooked, so, set some cash aside for the other books which are also brilliant works!
In this book, we meet Sana Kurata. An quirky 11-year-old with a heart of gold and a role in the famous TV series "Kodomo No Omocha". She was just moved to 6th Grade: Class 3 where she meets the one person who will change her life forever - Akito Hayama. At first, Sana pays no attention to him, but one day, decides to take a stand. Then, she find out there is much more to this boy than anyone could have ever guessed.
The book says "Comedy" on the back and I almost laughed when I read that. It's so much more. The entire series tells a story that all people can relate to and learn from - young and old. It talks about relationships, trust, issues that happen in life, and still keeps the reader interested with quirky bits of humor. Though that is what the book says, take it from me, Kodocha is definately NOT your average comedy.

Sana the Great.......2006-01-18

Sana is an amazing character that believes that she can do anything. The fun part is that she pretty much can. Sana is the star of a show called childs toy.
Shes the type of girl who can stand up to the class bully with no fear. That horrid bully is Akito. Akito is the "monkey leader". Akito is one sceaming boy that makes the teachers cry. Of course our young 11 year old heroine, with an agent, is there to save the day. How will she do it? Read the book and find out.

Kodocha, overall, is wonderful.......2006-01-03

Kodocha not only has wonderful artwork, but an interesting storyline that drew me in right away. The story is well written and the characters are very realistic, making them somewhat easy to relate to. Throughout the ten volumes, my interest never died out, what with all the cliffhangers and plot twists.

The first couple of volumes, I admit, seemed a little on the goofy and childish side, but this didn't continue as much throughout the series. In fact, Kodocha actually takes a very serious turn, during the last three volumes in particular. Overall, this book is, in my opinion, one of the better series out there, and I'd definitely recommend it to someone else. It has made me both laugh and cry at times, and is a story I love to read over again and again.

wonderful refence.......2007-01-14

It's a wonderful reference for a practiing medical/healt physicist. It's concise but deep in terms of cotent.

Good overview of the field........2002-08-07

This book is a must for anyone working in the field of
radiation detection, and contains a clear, readable description
of the working principles of quite a lot of detector types.
The weaker point is the description of the associated front
end (analogue) electronics that goes with those detectors: it
is a bit concise.

A good point for starting and for continuing.......2000-09-13

I have used this book for my studies and for working, and it's really beautiful: it starts with basic principles and after few pages you are deep inside the detector, and you start feeling it. The next step is to take an article of Nucl. Instr. Methods and read it.

Question - solutions manual?.......2000-02-27

I believe that there is an accompanying solutions manual for those individuals who will be self-studying. Nothing shows up on the search. How do I obtain the solutions manual?

Excellent book, detailed on the subject matter and readable.......1998-12-04

This is an excellent text and considered the prime source for an detailed overview of it's field.

best book.......2004-01-04

i have learnt this book with keen intrest . this is a beautiful book . i am much inspired to read this book . of course it is a best book of this year......................................................................

Very good book and very understandable........2001-03-19

Of the various radiation detection and measurement books available, this one is by far the easiest to understand. It is concise and does not ramble on with extraneous details. One learns the basic concepts and theory, thus allowing the reader to develop a clear knowledge base without becoming lost in disjointed detail. The reviewer learned from the first edition of Tsoulfanidis' book as an undergraduate two decades ago, and is grateful that no other text was used for the course. The reviewer also owns the second edition. The reviewer recommends that those desiring to learn about radiation measurements and radiation detectors strongly consider using Dr. Tsoulfanidis' text as a first step towards their education in nuclear science and engineering.

Very informational text, highly recommended.......1998-12-02

I used this text for my Radiation Measurements lab, with Dr. Tsoulfanidis. He is an extremely knowledgable man, and it comes across in the book. Very understandable and VERY informative.

Classic coverage - not most up to date, but will never be obsolete.......2006-02-14

Author concentrates on radiometry and detector basics, and does not give up to date performance specs on detectors or current trends etc which may soon be out of date. He does not cover readout electronics. I appreciate the fact that he derives a lot of things (formulas for integrating sphere, fourth power cosine law, etc.) instead of just stating results. He does the basics, and in my opinion does them very well. He also does not take forever to come to the point.

Cold Flow Drag Measurement and Numerical Performance Prediction of a Miniature Ramjet at Mach 4

ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Spiral-bound
ASIN: 1423514416

Product Description

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A436024. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Experimentation was carried out in a supersonic wind tunnel to investigate the drag force on a miniature ramjet when subjected to Mach 4 flow. CFDRC-FASTRAN, a numerical flow solver developed for the analysis of high-speed flows was used to model the performance of the miniature ramjet. To reduce computational time, a 2D axisymmetric model of the ramjet was developed to investigate the shock angles over the intake and the results were compared with the experiment. A 3D axisymmetric flow model was developed to investigate the fuel mixing which was injected into the ramjet from the nose cone and from the struts, which held the centerbody in place. Finally a 2D model was developed to investigate the combustion of the propane fuel, which was injected from the struts. For all of the simulations a two-equation, k-omega, turbulence model was used. Further investigation is needed at supersonic freestream conditions in the simulation of the combustion process.

Book Description

This book helps to dispel the notion that collective phenomena, which have become increasingly important in modern storage rings, are an obscure and inaccessible topic. Despite an emphasis on synchrotron light sources, the basic concepts presented here are valid for other facilities as well. Graduate students, scientists and engineers working in an accelerator environment will find this to be a systematic exposition of the principles behind collective instabilities and lifetime-limiting effects. Experimental methods to identify and characterize collective effects are also surveyed. Among other measures to improve the performance of a projected or existing facility, a detailed account of feedback control of instabilities is given.
