Model for origin, function and fabrication of fluted cephalopod septa
The model supposes that sub-hemispheric septa of deep-water cephalopods evolved transverse pillars by meridional fluting in order to support flat and...

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...

Lateral inhomogeneity in the crust and upper mantle fromP-wave amplitudes
Azimuths and angles of incidence have been calculated from short-period P -wave amplitude components of 197 events recorded at Umeå, Sweden, near the...

Experimental Analogies to Atmospheric Motions
One of the very old dreams of meteorologists and other scientific observers who have concerned themselves with the phenomena of the atmosphere has...

Plasma Spraying
As previously stated, both the gas-sheath stabilized plasma jet and the vortex-stabilized plasma jet are used in the plasma spray process. The gases...

Principles of Froth Flotation
To achieve selective flotation of mineral particles, whether by their removal in a froth or by the less-used method of agglomeration, specific...

Radio-Observations of the Ionosphere
Maxwell’s equations and the Lorentz expression for the force density in an electromagnetic field are the basic equations by which (like all other...

Sand Bodies and Environment
A sand body can be defined as “a single interconnected mappable body of sand,” the term mappable serving to distinguish a small sand body from most...

The Magnetism of the Earth’s Body
The existence of a geomagnetic field was made use of in the Mariners’ compass, long before its origin within the earth was recognized. Alexander...

The directivity of energy radiation of the tsunami generated in the vicinity of a continental shelf
The radiation pattern of the tsunami generated by a broad crustal deformation on or near the continental shelf is examined analytically in the...

Stress History of the Moon
In the preceding chapter a survey has been given of the principal sources of heat inside an astronomical body whose mass is of the same order of...

Theories and Experiments on Ball Lightning
The wide range and diverse properties exhibited by ball lightning and contained in the information gradually accumulated in the literature over the...
