This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 39 (thesis year 1994) a total of 13,953 thesis titles from 21 Canadian and 159 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 39 reports theses submitted in 1994, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The field of paleotempestology has gained more awareness in the past decade as a result of increased hurricane intensity, quantity, and duration within the late Holocene. One of the best localities to find records of hurricane overwash deposits is in the Bahamian islands. San Salvador Island, Bahamas (SSI) is a small (150km2), isolated carbonate platform, that contains shallow (0.5-3m) saline lakes that occur in between interdune areas of arcuate dune ridges. Due to San Salvador Island's location within the Bahamian archipelago and the Atlantic Ocean, the island is poised to record hurricane strikes and the record of these events can be found in coastal lakes. Clear Pond is a shallow (~1m), variably saline (16-30 ppt) lake in the southwestern edge of the island, that is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by Holocene dunes. It was a previously uncharacterized pond, but like many other depositional environments on San Salvador, it is constantly recording climatic and anthropogenic changes on the island. This study addresses the following questions: 1) Is there a seasonal salinity variation within the pond and what is the general limnology of the pond, 2) Can we identify large storm events in the sedimentary record of Clear Pond, and 3) What is the depositional history for Clear Pond for the past 4000 years? Nine sediment cores, ranging in length from 50 to 150 cm, were recovered from Clear Pond. The cores were analyzed for organic and carbonate content, dry bulk density, grain size, sediment fabric, and mollusk and ostracode composition. Additionally, x-ray fluorescence, spectrophotometry, and x-radiography were carried out on sediment cores. Salinity varied from brackish conditions in the summer and fall to more marine during the winter and spring seasons. It was also influenced by a previously uncharacterized karst conduit. Large storm events were identified through an increase in grain size and dry bulk density, and additionally by x-radiographs. A catastrophic hurricane recurrence interval of 478 years and an annual landfall probability of 0.21% were found as well. The record of Clear Pond indicates an average sedimentation rate of 2.3 cm/ 100 years which suggests the record recovered is at least 5200 years old. These cores record a major climatic shift occurring at 1460 ybp which correlates with the end of a documented Caribbean dryness period. The facies shift is from a sand and mud laminated facies to a recent, massive bioturbated facies. The record documents multiple hurricane strikes from 1600-3400 ybp which supports a hurricane 'hyperactivity period' from 1000- 3000 ybp from other areas in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. These large storm events are linked to two large-scale climate mechanisms, the location of the Bermuda high and the strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The ability to characterize and identify past overwash deposits in the Bahamas may be useful in climate reconstruction and landfall probability assessments. These results are the first proxy records for hurricane strikes on the west coast of San Salvador Island."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The 3D seismic method evolved as a natural outgrowth of 2D seismic exploration. This reprint volume attempts to chronicle both the evolution and the state-of-the-art of the 3D seismic method. Papers selected for this volume sample the literature from the early 1970s through 1998. They were drawn primarily from Geophysics, Geophysical Prospecting, The Leading Edge, and First Break. From these journals and publications alone, more than 200 candidate articles were identified dealing with some aspect of 3D seismic exploration. Selection criteria included historical significance, tutorial value, novelty, theoretical importance, practicality, and cost-benefit analysis. The papers are arranged chronologically. The papers in this volume and their rich reference lists cover virtually all of the relevant work on exploration 3D through 1998. The chapters are "The Early Work," "3-D Field Methods," "3-D Processing Imaging," "3-D Case Histories/Interpretation," "Shallow 3-D Seismic Methods," and "3-D Economics."
