* Sir Lawrence Bragg – the head of the Cavendish laboratory at Cambridge university‚ met with much resistance from Watson and especially Crick. Bragg is the youngest ever Nobel prize winner‚ which he won for the discovery of the Bragg low of X-ray crystallography. Bragg also wrote the foreword to Watson’s book‚ adding dramatically to the respectability of the book. * John Kendrew – English educated‚ also worked in the Cavendish laboratory under the direction of Bragg.

challenging because engineering alloys tend to exhibit high melting temperatures. In the present research an embedding sequence was developed capable of embedding fiber sensors into parts made of metal alloys with high melting temperatures. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors were selected as the most promising sensor candidate. The embedded FBG sensors were characterized for temperature and strain measurements. The embedded FBG sensors in nickel and stainless steel provided high sensitivity‚ good
