The History and Dynamics of Global Plate Motions By
2000 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 0875909795 | PDF | 86 MB
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series.The new global tectonics that emerged three decades ago profoundly changed our view of the Earth and its evolution. Although the theory of plate tectonics gives a kinematic description of much of Earth's surface motions, our dynamical understanding remains incomplete and unsatisfactory in many ways. Key remaining issues include the mechanics of plate boundaries and intraplate deformation, the relation between plate-scale dynamics and hotspot volcanism, vertical surface motions (dynamic topography) associated with subduction, and the origin of the plate-tectonic style of convection itself. The past two decades have seen fairly steady progress on a number of these problems, spurred in large part by the advent of 3-D seismic imaging of the Earth's interior. More recently, advances in high performance computing have provided long-needed 3-D geodynamic modeling tools that are yielding new insights into the relation between mantle convection and plate tectonics, and the interpretation of seismic heterogeneity structure.Content:
The Hilbert Transform of Schwartz Distributions and Applications By J. N. Pandey(auth.)
1996 | 276 Pages | ISBN: 0471033731 | PDF | 10 MB
This book provides a modern and up-to-date treatment of the Hilbert transform of distributions and the space of periodic distributions. Taking a simple and effective approach to a complex subject, this volume is a first-rate textbook at the graduate level as well as an extremely useful reference for mathematicians, applied scientists, and engineers. The author, a leading authority in the field, shares with the reader many new results from his exhaustive research on the Hilbert transform of Schwartz distributions. He describes in detail how to use the Hilbert transform to solve theoretical and physical problems in a wide range of disciplines; these include aerofoil problems, dispersion relations, high-energy physics, potential theory problems, and others. Innovative at every step, J. N. Pandey provides a new definition for the Hilbert transform of periodic functions, which is especially useful for those working in the area of signal processing for computational purposes. This definition could also form the basis for a unified theory of the Hilbert transform of periodic, as well as nonperiodic, functions. The Hilbert transform and the approximate Hilbert transform of periodic functions are worked out in detail for the first time in book form and can be used to solve Laplace's equation with periodic boundary conditions. Among the many theoretical results proved in this book is a Paley-Wiener type theorem giving the characterization of functions and generalized functions whose Fourier transforms are supported in certain orthants of Rn. Placing a strong emphasis on easy application of theory and techniques, the book generalizes the Hilbert problem in higher dimensions and solves it in function spaces as well as in generalized function spaces. It simplifies the one-dimensional transform of distributions; provides solutions to the distributional Hilbert problems and singular integral equations; and covers the intrinsic definition of the testing function spaces and its topology. The book includes exercises and review material for all major topics, and incorporates classical and distributional problems into the main text. Thorough and accessible, it explores new ways to use this important integral transform, and reinforces its value in both mathematical research and applied science. The Hilbert transform made accessible with many new formulas and definitions Written by today's foremost expert on the Hilbert transform of generalized functions, this combined text and reference covers the Hilbert transform of distributions and the space of periodic distributions. The author provides a consistently accessible treatment of this advanced-level subject and teaches techniques that can be easily applied to theoretical and physical problems encountered by mathematicians, applied scientists, and graduate students in mathematics and engineering. Introducing many new inversion formulas that have been developed and applied by the author and his research associates, the book: * Provides solutions to the distributional Hilbert problem and singular integral equations * Focuses on the Hilbert transform of Schwartz distributions, giving intrinsic definitions of the space H(D) and its topology * Covers the Paley-Wiener theorem and provides many important theoretical results of importance to research mathematicians * Provides the characterization of functions and generalized functions whose Fourier transforms are supported in certain orthants of Rn * Offers a new definition of the Hilbert transform of the periodic function that can be used for computational purposes in signal processing * Develops the theory of the Hilbert transform of periodic distributions and the approximate Hilbert transform of periodic distributions * Provides exercises at the end of each chapter--useful to professors in planning assignments, tests, and problemsContent: Chapter 1 Some Background (pages 1-53): Chapter 2 The Riemann?Hilbert Problem (pages 54-88): Chapter 3 The Hilbert Transform of Distributions in D?Lp, 1Chapter 4 The Hilbert Transform of Schwartz Distributions (pages 114-137): Chapter 5 ??Dimensional Hilbert Transform (pages 138-169): Chapter 6 Further Applications of the Hilbert Transform, the Hilbert Problem-A Distributional Approach (pages 170-216): Chapter 7 Periodic Distributions, Their Hilbert Transform and Applications (pages 217-247):
The Growth Trap: A Continuous Plan to Avoid the Traps of Life and Build a Better You by Ralph DiBugnara

Growth is a natural part of life between the ages of birth and adulthood, as human beings typically get bigger, stronger, smarter, and more functional with age. This growth is unintentional and requires little to no effort-but at some point, that growth stops, and an individual's progress is then limited to whether or not they are actively seeking future development.

*Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the fighting by soldiers and generals on both sides *Discusses the controversies surrounding the campaign, such as Stuart's ride before the battle and who's to blame for the Confederate loss *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "The failure to crush the Federal army in Pennsylvania in 1863, in the opinion of almost all of the officers of the Army of Northern Virginia, can be expressed in five words-the absence of the cavalry." - Confederate General Henry Heth "I've always thought the Yankees had something to do with it." - George Pickett Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade's Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett's Charge on the third and final day. Meade's stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War's turning points. After the South had lost the war, the importance of Gettysburg as one of the "high tide" marks of the Confederacy became apparent to everyone, making the battle all the more important in the years after it had been fought. While former Confederate generals cast about for scapegoats, with various officers pointing fingers at Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and James Stuart, historians and avid Civil War fans became obsessed with studying and analyzing all the command decisions and army movements during the entire campaign. Despite the saturation of coverage, Americans refuse to grow tired of visiting the battlefield and reliving the biggest battle fought in North America. The Gettysburg Campaign: The History and Legacy of the Civil War's Most Famous Campaign analyzes the entire campaign and its major battles, from Brandy Station to the retreat of Lee's army after Pickett's Charge. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Gettysburg campaign like never before, in no time at all.
