This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated 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 dissemination phases of the ac tivity 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 volume 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 23 (thesis year 1978) a total of 10,148 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 220 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 23 reports these submitted in 1978, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2018-06-03 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project BIFROST (Baseline Inferences for Fennoscandian Rebound Observations. Sea-level and Tectonics) combines networks of continuously operating CPS receivers in Sweden and Finland to measure ongoing crustal deformation due to glacial isostatic adjustment, (CIA). We present an analysis of data collected in the years 1993-1998. We compare the CPS determinations of three-dimensional crustal motion to predictions calculated using the high resolution Fennoscandian deglaciation model recently proposed by Lambeck et al. We find that the the maximum observed uplift rate (approx. 10 mm/ yr) and the maximum predicted uplift rate agree to better than 1 mm/ yr. The patterns of uplift also agree quite well, although differences are discernible. The chi(exp 2) difference between predicted and GPS-observed radial rates is reduced by a factor of 5-6 compared to that for the "null" (no uplift) model, depending on whether a mean difference is first removed. The north components of velocity agree at about the same relative level. whereas the agreement for the east components is worse, a problem possibly related to the lack of bias fixing. We have also compared the values for the observed radial deformation rates to those based on sea-level rates from Baltic tide gauges. The weighted RMS difference between CPS and tide-gauge rates (after removing a mean) is 0.6 mm/ yr, giving an indication of the combined accuracy of the CPS and tide-gauge measurement systems. Spectral analysis of the time series of position estimates yields spectral indices in the range -1 to -2. An EOF analysis indicates, however, that much of this power is correlated among the sites. The correlation appears to be regional and falls off only slightly with distance. Some of this correlated noise is associated with snow accumulation on the antennas or, for those antennas with radomes, on the radomes. This problem has caused us to modify the radomes used several times, leading to one of our more significant
Download or read book Relative Sea level Variations Revealed by Tide gauge Records of Long Duration written by Anthony James Withnell and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends in mean relative sea-level and pat.terns of occurrence of extreme sea levels are analyzed separately in the two parts of this thesis. In Part 1, twenty-eight of the world's longest tide-gauge records are examined for clues to the uncertain balance among factors contributing to relative sea-level (RSL) fluctuations. Obtaining these clues requires a description of t he data in terms of component functions, whether chosen for t heir special properties (regression analysis) or empirically determined (EOF analysis). Part 1 describes a regression model that allows for gradual changes of the RSL trend and for sudden changes in the level to which tide-gauge measurements are referred (gauge zero); also described is an EOF analysis procedure that offers certain advantages in the handling of missing observations. Although the rate of RSL rise exhibits significant gradual change over 60- to 120-year analysis intervals at many stations, no support is found for the idea of a gradual global acceleration of RSL rise. Results that seem to show RSL rise accelerating globally over the last century can be attributed instead to the changing geographical distribution of tide-gauge observations. Regional and local controls, which include vertical crustal movements and changes due to oceanographic or meteorological effects, must be responsible for the accelerations documented at many stations, and are dominant in controlling shorter-term departures from the RSL trend too. Preliminary results of EOF analysis reveal regionally coherent fluctuations of annual mean RSL in the Baltic Sea with r.m.s. amplitudes as large as 70 mm. Globally coherent fluctuations have smaller r.m.s. amplitudes: a tentative upper limit is 20 mm. In Part 2, 40 years of hourly sea-level records from two stations on the mid-Atlantic coast of the U.S. a re used in a compilation of monthly 'surge'-level exceedance counts. 'Surge' level is defined as observed sea level minus predicted tide level. The results are compared with previously published storm counts, and the annual cycle of 'surge'-level exceedance frequency is found to lead that of storm frequency by nearly two months. It is recommended that further work aimed at modelling 'surge'-level exceedances should include: (i) recognition that the tide record includes meteorological/ oceanographic as well as astronomical components, especially at the frequency of the solar annual tide, and (ii) quantification of the relative importance of tide and surge in the timing of extreme sea-level occurrences at different times and places.

Download or read book Making the Geologic Now written by Elizabeth Ellsworth and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making the Geologic Now announces shifts in cultural sensibilities and practices. It offers early sightings of an increasingly widespread turn toward the geologic as source of explanation, motivation, and inspiration for creative responses to conditions of the present moment. In the spirit of a broadside, this edited collection circulates images and short essays from over 40 artists, designers, architects, scholars, and journalists who are actively exploring and creatively responding to the geologic depth of "now." Contributors' ideas and works are drawn from architecture, design, contemporary philosophy and art. They are offered as test sites for what might become thinkable or possible if humans were to collectively take up the geologic as our instructive co-designer-as a partner in designing thoughts, objects, systems, and experiences. A new cultural sensibility is emerging. As we struggle to understand and meet new material realities of earth and life on earth, it becomes increasingly obvious that the geologic is not just about rocks. We now cohabit with the geologic in unprecedented ways, in teeming assemblages of exchange and interaction among geologic materials and forces and the bio, cosmo, socio, political, legal, economic, strategic, and imaginary. As a reading and viewing experience, Making the Geologic Now is designed to move through culture, sounding an alert from the unfolding edge of the "geologic turn" that is now propagating through contemporary ideas and practices.

Book excerpt: Hiroshima is the story of six people—a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest—who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. In vivid and indelible prose, Pulitzer Prize–winner John Hersey traces the stories of these half-dozen individuals from 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, through the hours and days that followed. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told, and his account of what he discovered is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.
