Real-Time, High-Performance Technologic Material Loss Measurement

This book is presenting some results of research conducted by the author between the years 1982-2000, and although the action started more than 30 years ago, the performances and results are still significant for the “advanced”1 US industry, which might benefit more if these methods will be reconsidered, free of the old scary forethoughts of radioactive labeling, based on nuclear physics discoveries, and effectively apply these ultra high sensitivity technologies into the development of the actual products, in order to make US regain the terrain lost in manufacturing in the favor of new rising economies like China and India. This cannot be done by competing with them at the regular mass production, which requires intensive labor cheaper than in US, but may be achieved in producing high-tech products and preserving the capability for mass production due to strategic reasons.
