Book excerpt: Where is the real Leeds? How does one get there? Is it floating on the air-words and music you can almost reach out and grab like wriggling worms of sound and ether? Is it in the carnival that seethes under the corrupted church, drawing the lost along shadowy corridors and through the strangely angled Funhouse doors to the place where the city fathers perform secret rites with the goat-headed masters of the dark? Do you seek the Real Leeds? Venture out to a secluded spot, turn on your radio, and spin that dial down to the murky low numbers, somewhere just around 87.9... That music, that voice calling on the edge of static and distortion-it might lead you to that blasted and damned path toward the Real and Truest heart of Leeds, Massachusetts. This is WXXT. It's the witching hour, when shadows take wing and nightmares stalk. Turn your radio up. Point your antennas to the infinite sky. And stay tuned for Weather on the Sixes. WXXT. The bubbling blisters on the tongue of the Pioneer Valley.

Download or read book Creeping Waves and Lateral Waves in Acoustic Scattering by Large Elastic Cylinders written by George Vladimir Frisk and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between creeping wave and flat surface wave theory is established by investigating the limit of acoustic scattering from a solid elastic cylinder, imbedded in a fluid, whose radius tends to infinity. First, the asymptotic behavior of the complex circumferential wave numbers is calculated by substituting the appropriate Debye- or Airy-type asymptotic expansions into the 3 x 3 secular determinant and solving it using iterative techniques. It is found that, in the limit of infinite cylinder radius, the wave numbers of the Rayleigh and Stoneley modes tend toward those of the Rayleigh and Stoneley waves on a flat elastic half-space, while the Franz mode wave numbers tend toward the wave number of sound in the fluid. The longitudinal and transverse Whispering Gallery mode wave numbers tend toward the longitudinal and transverse wave numbers in the solid. Graphical results are presented for an aluminum cylinder in water (and in one case, also in vacuum) and show good agreement with existing numerical results. Then, using the Watson-Sommerfeld transformation, the limiting behavior of the solution to the problem of the scattering of a cylindrical wave from a cylinder whose radius tends to infinity is investigated. Using the analytic expressions for the creeping wave numbers, it is shown that the residue sums corresponding to the different classes of circumferential waves tend individually toward the different types of surface waves found on the flat surface.
Download or read book Rogue Waves in the Ocean written by Christian Kharif and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It came from nowhere, snapping giant ships in two. No one believed the survivors . . . until now” —New Scientist magazine cover, June 30, 2001 Rogue waves are the focus of this book. They are among the waves naturally - served by people on the sea surface that represent an inseparable feature of the Ocean. Rogue waves appear from nowhere, cause danger, and disappear at once. They may occur on the surface of a relatively calm sea and not reach very high amplitudes, but still be fatal for ships and crew due to their unexpectedness and abnormal features. Seamen are known to be unsurpassed authors of exciting and horrifying stories about the sea and sea waves. This could explain why, despite the increasing number of documented cases, that sailors’ observations of “walls of - ter” have been considered ctitious for a while. These stories are now addressed again due to the amount of doubtless evidence of the existence of the phenomenon, but still without suf cient information to - able interested researchers and engineers to completely understand it. The billows appear suddenly, exceeding the surrounding waves by two times their size and more, and obtaining many names: abnormal, exceptional, extreme, giant, huge, s- den, episodic, freak, monster, rogue, vicious, killer, mad- or rabid-dog waves, cape rollers, holes in the sea, walls of water, three sisters, etc.
Download or read book Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Radiation and Scattering written by Akira Ishimaru and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 972 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most methodical treatments of electromagnetic wave propagation, radiation, and scattering—including new applications and ideas Presented in two parts, this book takes an analytical approach on the subject and emphasizes new ideas and applications used today. Part one covers fundamentals of electromagnetic wave propagation, radiation, and scattering. It provides ample end-of-chapter problems and offers a 90-page solution manual to help readers check and comprehend their work. The second part of the book explores up-to-date applications of electromagnetic waves—including radiometry, geophysical remote sensing and imaging, and biomedical and signal processing applications. Written by a world renowned authority in the field of electromagnetic research, this new edition of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, Radiation, and Scattering: From Fundamentals to Applications presents detailed applications with useful appendices, including mathematical formulas, Airy function, Abel’s equation, Hilbert transform, and Riemann surfaces. The book also features newly revised material that focuses on the following topics: Statistical wave theories—which have been extensively applied to topics such as geophysical remote sensing, bio-electromagnetics, bio-optics, and bio-ultrasound imaging Integration of several distinct yet related disciplines, such as statistical wave theories, communications, signal processing, and time reversal imaging New phenomena of multiple scattering, such as coherent scattering and memory effects Multiphysics applications that combine theories for different physical phenomena, such as seismic coda waves, stochastic wave theory, heat diffusion, and temperature rise in biological and other media Metamaterials and solitons in optical fibers, nonlinear phenomena, and porous media Primarily a textbook for graduate courses in electrical engineering, Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, Radiation, and Scattering is also ideal for graduate students in bioengineering, geophysics, ocean engineering, and geophysical remote sensing. The book is also a useful reference for engineers and scientists working in fields such as geophysical remote sensing, bio–medical engineering in optics and ultrasound, and new materials and integration with signal processing.
