A method for determination of epicenters of near earthquakes
A method is developed, which permits a rapid and reliable determination of the location of near epicenters (within about 10o) using the differences of arrival times of a common phase (usually Sg) to a net of thre...

Thermoelastic stresses and strains in a gravitating earth
The stress and strain fields in various earth models are studied under the assumption of an elastic mantle and the existence of thermal stresses which are proportional to the difference between the initial and...

Multiple-Ion Diffusion—I. Techniques for Measuring and Calculating Apparent Self-Diffusion Coefficients in Heteroionic Systems
This investigation was designed to integrate the quick-freeze technique for ion diffusion with two computer programs to permit the simultaneous measurement and calculation of the diffus-ivity of a variable num...

Deformation of a homogeneous gravitating sphere by internal dislocations
An explicit solution is obtained for the system of equations describing the spheroidal motion in a homogeneous, isotropic, gravitating, elastic medium possessing spherical symmetry. This solution is used to de...

Extending the versatility of the Bullard heat probe
A versatile probe for simultaneous studies of heat flow and near-bottom water parameters has evolved through modifications of the Bullard heat probe frame. Suitable sensor arrays have been used with this instr...

An improved Ewing heat probe frame
The standard Ewing heat probe frame has been improved through the design of a new takedown model whose parts are held together by lynch pins. When a 600 lb (272 kg) unit of this type is taken apart, the heavie...

Appendix
Let I1; I2, and I3 be the three principal moments of inertia of the molecule. The rotational partition function of a single molecule is given by $${q_...

Chapter
Introduction and Prerequisites
A molecular theory of matter provides a bridge between the molecular properties of the individual particles constituting the system under observation and the macroscopic properties of the bulk matter as reveal...

Chapter
Molecular Distribution Functions and Thermodynamics
This chapter summarizes the most important relations between thermodynamic quantities and molecular distribution functions (MDF). The majority of these relations apply to systems obeying the assumption of pair...

Chapter
Generalized Molecular Distribution Functions and the Mixture-Model Approach to Liquids
This chapter provides a bridge between the formal theories of liquids and various modelistic approaches devised for the study of aqueous fluids. Such a bridge is needed for the comfortable accommodation, in a ...

Chapter
Water with One Simple Solute Particle
The study of very dilute solutions of simple nonpolar solutes is of interest for various reasons. First, these solutions reveal some anomalous properties in comparison with corresponding nonaqueous solutions, ...

Chapter
Molecular Distribution Functions
The notions of molecular distribution functions (MDF) command a central role in the theory of fluids. Of foremost importance among these are the singlet and the pair distribution functions. This chapter is mai...

Chapter
Theory of Solutions
This chapter is concerned with a few aspects of the theory of solutions which are either of fundamental character or are believed to be particularly useful in the study of aqueous solutions. With these limitat...

Chapter
Liquid Water
In this chapter, we begin our excursion into the field of liquid water and aqueous solutions. From the very outset, and along the whole trip, it is important to bear in mind that our systems are not “simple,” ...

Chapter
Water with Two or More Simple Solutes. Hydrophobic Interaction (HI)
The limiting dilute ideal solution is characterized by the complete absence of “solute-solute interaction.”1 From the molecular point of view, the properties of such systems are determined by the behavior of a sy...

Generalized reflection and transmission coefficients for seismic sources in a multi-layered spherical earth model
A method of propagating the components of the displacement across interfaces in a multi-layered spherical earth model is presented. It is useful both for explosion sources and tangential dislocation sources, b...

Computer generated P and S waveforms from an earthquake source
Theoretical seismograms are calculated for a realistic source model at Δ=17°. Both P and S groups are synthesized at the stations EIL and JER, from an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 in Iran.

Chapter
The Levantine Countries: The Israeli Coastal Region
The shore of Israel forms a rather smooth, concave arc which trends east in the south (northern Sinai), and then farther north gradually turns to the north-northeast. In some areas the coastline formed deposit...

Metamorphism of siliceous dolomites at Naxos, Greece
Siliceous dolomitic marbles at Naxos, Greece, are crystallized in a range of metamorphic temperatures, estimated from 350 to 700 °C and a total pressure of about 6 kb. A number of low variant assemblages of th...
