Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deconstructs the whole lineage of political philosophy, showing the ways democracy abuts and regularly undermines the sovereignist tradition across a range of texts from the Iliad to contemporary philosophy. Politics is an object of perennial difficulty for philosophy—as recalcitrant to philosophical mastery as is philosophy’s traditional adversary, poetry. That difficulty makes it an attractive topic for any deconstructive approach to the tradition from which we inherit our language and our concepts. Scatter 2 pursues that deconstruction, often starting with, and sometimes departing from, the work of Jacques Derrida by attending to the concepts of sovereignty on the one hand and democracy on the other. The book begins by following the fate of a line from Homer’s Iliad, where Odysseus asserts that “the rule of many is no good thing, let there be one ruler, one king.” The line, Bennington shows, is quoted, misquoted, and progressively Christianized by Aristotle, Philo Judaeus, Suetonius, the early Church Fathers, Aquinas, Dante, Ockham, Marsilius of Padua, Jean Bodin, Etienne de la Boétie, up to Carl Schmitt and Erik Peterson, and even one of the defendants at the Nuremberg trials, before being discussed by Derrida himself. In the book’s second half, Bennington begins again with Plato and Aristotle and tracks the concept of democracy as it regularly abuts and undermines that sovereignist tradition. In detailed readings of Hobbes and Rousseau, Bennington develops a notion of “proto-democracy” as a possible name for the scatter that underlies and drives the political as such and that will always prevent politics from achieving its aim of bringing itself to an end.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high-resolution forward-scatter system can be effectively used to study the tropospheric refractive-index structure over extended volumes of space. This report is a theoretical analysis of the performance of scan experiments in which the common volume is systematically moved through space by swinging the narrowbeam transmitter and receiver antennas in azimuth and elevation. Experimental evidence points toward a layered composition of the tropospheric refractive index. Various models of single or multiple layers of turbulent refractive-index perturbations, including vertical-layer widths that are a fraction of the common volume lateral dimensions, are used to simulate tropospheric conditions and to compute the spatial response of a narrowbeam forward-scatter system. The rather complex forward-scatter geometry along the great circle path and at a horizontal distance from it is evaluated in enough detail to allow accurate determination of scatter signals. The effect of specular contributions is included to show how a reflection term typically superposes on the scatter signal when the refractive-index field is analyzed. Refractive-index structures are constantly being changed and new ones produced by such parameters as wind and turbulence. Hence, the information obtained from the high-resolution forward-scatter system also relates to these parameters. (Author).

Download or read book Neutron Scattering written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work covers in some detail the application of neutron scattering to different fields of physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, the earth sciences and engineering. Its goal is to enable researchers in a particular area to identify aspects of their work in which neutron scattering techniques might contribute, conceive the important experiments to be done, assess what is required to carry them out, write a successful proposal for one of the major user facilities, and perform the experiments under the guidance of the appropriate instrument scientist. The authors of the various chapters take account of the advances in experimental techniques over the past 25 years--for example, neutron reflectivity and spin-echo spectroscopy and techniques for probing the dynamics of complex materials and biological systems. Furthermore, with the third-generation spallation sources recently constructed in the United States and Japan and in the advanced planning stage in Europe, there is an increasing interest in time-of-flight techniques and short wavelengths. Correspondingly, the improved performance of cold moderators at both reactors and spallation sources has extended the long-wavelength capabilities. Chapter authors are pre-eminent in their field Seminal experiments are presented as examples Provides guidance on how to plan, execute and analyse experiments

This book was released on 1970 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge and understanding of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through the ionosphere, ionspheric irregularities, and artificial electron clouds, provide the information and criteria needed to solve Air Force problems of discrimination, detection, and communication. Because the electron density distribution changes during expansion of a cloud, it is desirable to know how the change affects the scattering characteristics of the cloud. A determination, in geometric optics approximation, of the forward and backscatter characteristics of spherical overdense clouds having: (1) a gaussian decrease with distance from the center, (2) a sech squared, or exponential, decay, and (3) an inverse-squared decrease, showed that the back scatter cross section for the inverse square distribution is always larger than for the other two distributions. As the center point density increases, the back scatter cross section obtained with the gaussian sphere most rapidly takes on the characteristics of a conducting sphere, that of the sech squared distribution lags slightly behind, but that of the inverse-square sphere never gets close to the result for a conducting sphere. In forward scatter, the inverse-square distribution shows the largest cross section and a fairly rapid increase with center point density, the sech squared distribution has an essentially constant cross section, and the gaussian, which has the lowest forward scatter cross section, shows a slight decrease with center point density.
