The Atmosphere
The air is a mechanical mixture of gases and so highly compressible that its lower layers are much denser than overlying ones. It constitutes the... -
Emission line regions and stellar associations in extended extragalactic radio sources
Recent observations of two radio galaxies, 3C277.3 and Centaurus A, reveal the coexistence of emission line filaments and the extended radio-emitting...

Destruction of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins
The release of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-T) containing 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin (TCDD) at Sèveso 1 highlighted the need for an efficient...

Possibilities of Detecting Different Hydrate Phases by TG and DSC
Transformations of calciumbromide hydrates with different amounts of water of crystallization prepared at room temperature were studied by DSC,... -
Phase Study of the Praseodymium-Oxygen System by the Multiple Thermal Analysis
A multiple technique coupled with thermogravimetry (TG) and evolved gas analysis (EGA) was applied to examine the phase relation of... -
Isotopic data for scleractinian corals explain their palaeotemperature uncertainties
New data on the variability of the oxygen isotope composition of water on a coral reef reveal that there are large changes in δ 18 O linked to high...

Phase diagrams — introduction
As indicated in earlier chapters, igneous fractionation is believed to be dominated by melting and crystallisation processes. Natural observable... -
Quaternary systems
Many of the fundamental principles of igneous petrology can be well understood after the combined study of ternary systems, petrography, and... -
Ternary systems — I
The extra component in ternary systems compared with binaries represents a substantial step towards petrological reality, and there are many... -
Effect of pressure on the Raman spectrum of ice
THE decrease in the volume of ice on compression or cooling is thought to be due to a decrease in the O–O distances, because the O–O–O and O–H…O...

Measurements of Axial Heat Transport in Helium II with Forced Convection
Although it is well known for its excellent heat transfer qualities, there are definite limitations on the maximum amount of heat that can be... -
Oscillations and Hysteresis of Helium during Lambda Transition Above the Thermodynamic Critical Pressure in the Presence of Heat Flow
Development work in applied superconductivity and other cryosystems has been extended to the superfluid and supercritical regions of helium. It is... -
Some Aspects of the Life History, Structure and Movement of Monsoon Depressions
Monsoon depression is one of the most important synoptic scale disturbances on the quasi-stationary planetary scale monsoon trough over the Indian... -
Oxidation of Zirconium and its Alloys
I have tried to summarize the oxidation behavior of zirconium and its alloys in both gaseous and aqueous environments, and to show how other...
