Book Description
Rich, handsome, and deeply enamoured with his track-star boyfriend Sean, eighteen-year-old Alex Chang-Williams has everything. That is, until he is abducted by an alien empire known only as the Academy and becomes the unwilling test subject of a failed experiment. Now armed with the ability to spray a toxic mist that causes others to fall in love with him, Alex soon becomes commander of the Chaff, a diverse squadron comprised of twelve empowered survivors of the Academy’s strange machinations. With the support of a mysterious organization called Carpathia, Alex and the Chaff work together to put an end to the Academy. To do so, they must fight against the Crux, a rival group of successful human test subjects who now serve the Academy by undertaking their own mission to forcibly colonize the last resisting planet in the galaxy. Driven by their unshakeable belief in humanity, the Chaff won’t stop until every member of the Crux turns away from Academy control. However, Alex's noble vision is soon challenged when alien mysteries and human betrayals blur the lines between good and evil and turn the truth into something he no longer recognizes.

Book Description
The basic concept of lightning suppression by chaff seeding is to increase the conductivity inside a thunderstorm by a continuous release of ions liberated through corona discharge on chaff fibers which are dispersed from an airplane inside the cloud. This increased conductivity would permit the current produced by the thunderstorm to flow from the positive to the negative charge center or from the negative charge center to the ground without the generation of the high electric fields which are necessary to initiate lightning discharges. The application of this simple concept to modify the electric field or the lightning activity of a real thunderstorm encounters a number of questions on the theoretical as well as on the practical side that are difficult to answer. For instance, (1) Will the corona discharge be quenched by its own space-charge production if a certain amount of the released charge is trapped by cloud particles in the close environment of the chaff fibers? ; (2) Does the generation of a conducting chaff-seeded area in the storm produce a filed concentrating effect at the boundary of the area that is apt to generate rather than suppress lightning discharges? ; and (3) Can the chaff be distributed fast enough through a large enough cloud volume to discharge effectively the cloud in a reasonable time? These and other problems are discussed in detail in this report. Finally, the first results on an accelerated field decay caused by chaff seeding underneath a thunderstorm are presented.

Author: Vivek Sood Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 9354356818 Category : Law Languages : en Pages : 296
Book Description
A PIONEERING WORK ON A highly topical subject, Chaff and Grain: Guilt, Innocence and the Dilemmas of Justice by Vivek Sood goes into the malfunctions of the criminal justice system in India. The Supreme Court has gone to the extent of saying that in our criminal justice system the judge presiding over a trial decides on the basis of his sixth sense as to what must have happened during the incident and then lays his trust in God and good luck for coming to the 'right' conclusion. In this hard-hitting take on the criminal justice process, Sood delves into how the innocent end up as undertrials, the misuse of the power of arrest by the police, unjustified denial of bail, manipulated investigations and fake encounters. Apart from making out a case for imperative reforms, in another important suggestion, Sood has redefined 'hate speech' and 'sedition', cases relating to which have been in the news. These are offences that legislators and policymakers can look at afresh, he says. The book also examines the investigations into some of the most controversial cases to hit the headlines in the past two decades-Aarushi Talwar, Jessica Lal, Priyadarshini Mattoo, the Telgi fake stamp paper scam and the Nirbhaya rape-making it a riveting read.
