After a brief introduction on the scientific data about the age of the cloth and the microscopic complexity of the images embedded on it, we discuss the unique reddish color of blood stains on the Shroud, which caught the attention of several scholars in the last decades. Various hypotheses were proposed to explain the blood stains reddish color, and the experimental tests produced uncertain results because data were not sufficient or were obtained in vitro. We have tested the strength of two hypotheses, namely, the long term influence of ultraviolet (UV) light on high-bilirubin blood and the presence of carboxyhemoglobin, respectively by RGB color analyses of high-bilirubin blood after irradiation by ns excimer laser pulses and UV lamp and by the study of the spectral reflectance of the blood stains on the Shroud.","PeriodicalId":375593,"journal":{"name":"Advanced High-Power Lasers and Applications","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132333161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been observed that, depending on a first selection, Vibrational-Gaussian Binning, a second selection, Rotational-Gaussian Binning, induces a preference for odd or even values in the Total Angular Momentum of de HOD product molecule. It is interesting to remember that a similar phenomenon is observed in the CO2 triatomic molecule, utilized in the correspondent gas laser.

The key technologies, providing the midterm development of a preproduction prototype of a spaceborne laser for small scale debris removal from the low-Earth orbits, are analyzed. A novel approach of nuclear power supplying of the spaceborne laser is presented. It is claimed that nuclear power supplying and electric jet engine technologies implemented in a spacecraft with an onboard laser would provide not only all the energetic requirements, but also orbital maneuvering strong capabilities. The latter would ensure more consistent follow-on rendezvous conditions with space objects, and hence, more efficient low orbital debris removal scenarios.","PeriodicalId":375593,"journal":{"name":"Advanced High-Power Lasers and Applications","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133892880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
