Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Islandica, Vol. 11: An Annual Relating to Iceland and the Fiske Icelandic Collection in Cornell University Library; The Periodical Literature of Iceland Down to the Year 1874 The next periodical publication takes us to Copenhagen, where a considerable number of Icelanders always lived. It appears that in the year of 1779, two young Icelandic students, Olafur Olafsson1 and P6rarinn Sigvaldason Liliendal,2 conceived the idea of founding a society, the principal aim of which should be to improve the literary taste among the Icelanders by publishing writings in poetry and prose, as well as to spread useful informa tion in other branches of knowledge.3 The plan was submitted to jon Eiriksson,4 who then held a high governmental position and who beyond doubt was the most influential of his country men in Copenhagen, besides being one of the most learned of men. He eagerly embraced the plan put before him by the two young men, and henceforth became the leading spirit of the society until his tragic end. The society was formally established on Aug. 30, 1779, under the name of Hid islen: ka Lardomslista jelag (the Icelandic Literature Society); later it added the epithet of royal (konunglegt) to its name, in pursuance of the royal letter of June 22, The by-laws bear the date of Dec. 16, and their first paragraph provided that such a society should exist for ever (um alldr og afi) among the Icelandic students at the University. The society was to support all arts and sciences which could be of any consequence to Iceland, in particular those connected with household affairs, handicrafts.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE that took place at Newark, Delaware, U. S. A. , July 14-23, 1985. The objective of this meeting was to present and discuss selected topics associated with transport phenomena in porous media. By their very nature, porous media and phenomena of transport of extensive quantities that take place in them, are very complex. The solid matrix may be rigid, or deformable (elastically, or following some other constitutive relation), the void space may be occupied by one or more fluid phases. Each fluid phase may be composed of more than one component, with the various components capable of interacting among themselves and/or with the solid matrix. The transport process may be isothermal or non-isothermal, with or without phase changes. Porous medium domains in which extensive quantities, such as mass of a fluid phase, component of a fluid phase, or heat of the porous medium as a whole, are being transported occur in the practice in a variety of disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late medieval German trade with the North Atlantic islands, in the margins of the Hanseatic trade network, has received only limited scholarly attention. Merchants from predominantly Hamburg and Bremen established direct trade relations with these islands in the late 15th century, and managed to control the international trade with Iceland, the Faroes and Shetland for much of the 16th century. However, the Hanseatic commercial infrastructure was absent in the North Atlantic, which forced these merchants to develop new trade strategies. Besides a critical re-evaluation of the economic and political conditions, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the organisation of the trade and the methods used to establish and maintain networks between islanders and German merchants. Moreover, it analyses the role and socio-economic position of the communities of merchants with the North Atlantic in their home towns. The book shows that the North Atlantic trade was anything but insignificant. It was a dynamic and integral part of the trade network of the northern German cities, and its study is highly relevant for the economic history of Northern Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1921, this book contains English translations of stories taken from the Fornaldar Sögur Northrlanda, or 'Stories of Ancient Times relating to the countries of the North', a collection of Old Norse Sagas edited by Rafn in 1829-30 and re-edited by Valdimar Ásmundarson in 1886-91. The stories contained in this collection deal almost exclusively with times anterior to Harold the Fairhaired (c. 860-930), and the colonisation of Iceland. Written texts for the stories as a rule come from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, though the actual manuscripts themselves are generally later. This English edition contains a generous introduction and explanatory notes, making it accessible to the general reader. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in Old Norse literature.

Download or read book Magnetic Sensors and Magnetometers Second Edition written by Pavel Ripka and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely updated second edition of an Artech House classic covers industrial applications and space and biomedical applications of magnetic sensors and magnetometers. With the advancement of smart grids, renewable energy resources, and electric vehicles, the importance of electric current sensors increased, and the book has been updated to reflect these changes. Integrated fluxgate single-chip magnetometers are presented. GMR sensors in the automotive market, especially for end-of-shaft angular sensors, are included, as well as Linear TMR sensors. Vertical Hall sensors and sensors with integrated ferromagnetic concentrators are two competing technologies, which both brought 3-axial single-chip Hall ICs, are considered. Digital fluxgate magnetometers for both satellite and ground-based applications are discussed. All-optical resonant magnetometes, based on the Coherent Population Trapping effect, has reached approval in space, and is covered in this new edition of the book. Whether you're an expert or new to the field, this unique resource offers you a thorough overview of the principles and design of magnetic sensors and magnetometers, as well as guidance in applying specific devices in the real world. The book covers both multi-channel and gradiometric magnetometer systems, special problems such as cross-talk and crossfield sensitivity, and comparisons between different sensors and magnetometers with respect to various application areas. Miniaturization and the use of new materials in magnetic sensors are also discussed. A comprehensive list of references to journal articles, books, proceedings and webpages helps you find additional information quickly.
