Hydrodynamics of Oil and Gas
ISBN: 9780306448720 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There has long been interest in the flow of fluids through permeable aqui fers. Stratigraphic trapping of oil and gas by permeability changes in an aquifer and the amounts of hydrocarbons so trapped are major concerns to the oil industry. The variations of aquifer width and geometry and of the positions in an aquifer where hydrocarbons can be trapped by hydro dynamic forces are intimately intertwined in determining the shape, and thus the volume, of hydrocarbons. Perhaps the seminal work in this area is reflected by King Hubbert's massive review paper "Entrapment of Petroleum under...

Undiscovered Petroleum and Mineral Resources: Assessment and Controversy
ISBN: 9780306455247 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. """ This book has been written as a guide to the management and use of formulated feeds in intensive fish and shrimp culture. While its focus is on the use of commercially pro duced feeds in intensive production systems, it is anticipated that many of the practical issues covered will be of equal interest to those fish farmers who make their own feeds and to those who use formulated feeds in less intensive systems. Feeds and feeding are the major variable operating costs in intensive aquaculture and the book is primarily in tended to aid decision making by fish farm managers in areas of...

ISBN: 9780306460678 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. American things, American material culture, and American archaeology are the themes of this book. The authors use goods used or made in America to illuminate issues such as tenancy, racism, sexism, and regional bias. Contributors utilize data about everyday objects - from tin cans and bottles to namebrand items, from fish bones to machinery - to analyze the way American capitalism works. Their cogent analyses take us literally from broken dishes to the international economy. Especially notable chapters examine how an archaeologist formulates questions about exploitation under capitalism, and...

Ball Lightning: An Unsolved Problem in Atmospheric Physics
ISBN: 9780306461507 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Down comes a deluge of sonorous hail, Or prone-descending rain. Wide-rent, the clouds Pour a whole flood, and yet, its flame unquenched, Th'unconquerable lightning struggles through. Ragged and fierce, or in red whirling balls, And fires the mountains with redoubled rage. Black from the stroke, above, the smould'ring pine Stands a sad shattered trunk; and, stretched below, A lifeless group the blasted cattle lie. James Thompson, -The Seasons- (1727) have been investigating ball lightning for more than two decades. I published a ball lightning report in Nature in 1976 that received worldwide...

Paleobiogeography
ISBN: 9780306462771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Biogeography relates the evolution of the Earth's biota to major episodes in the Earth's history such as climatic changes and plate tectonic events. Furthermore, biogeographic patterns have played a prominent role in the development of the theory of evolution. Thus biogeography has the potential to make important contributions to the field of geobiology.
Paleobiogeography emphasizes how analytical techniques from phylogenetic biogeography can be applied to the study of patterns in the fossil record. In doing this, it considers the strengths and weaknesses of paleobiogeographic...

Eocene Biodiversity: Unusual Occurrences and Rarely Sampled Habitats
ISBN: 9780306465284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Initially, this work was designed to document and study the diversification of modern mammalian groups and was quite successful and satisfying. However, as field and laboratory work continued, there began to develop a suspicion that not all of the Eocene story was being told. It became apparent that most fossil samples, especially those from the American West, were derived from similar preservational circumstances and similar depositional settings. A program was initiated to look for other potential sources of fossil samples, either from non-traditional lithologies or from geographic areas...

Global Warming and Energy Policy
ISBN: 9780306466359 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first part of the conference explores two major environmental concerns that arise from fuel use: (1) the prospect that the globe will become warmer as a result of emissions of carbon dioxide, and (2) the effect upon health of the fine particles emitted as combustion products. The conference focused on the fact that there was lack of data direct enough to enable us to predict an entirely satisfactory result, and that makes policy options particularly difficult. With regard to (1) above, in the second half of the 20th century there were major increases in anthropogenic C02 emissions, and it...

Landscape Erosion and Evolution Modeling
ISBN: 9780306467189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Landscapes are characterized by a wide variation, both spatially and temporally, of tolerance and response to natural processes and anthropogenic stress. These tolerances and responses can be analyzed through individual landscape parameters, such as soils, vegetation, water, etc., or holistically through ecosystem or watershed studies. However, such approaches are both time consuming and costly. Soil erosion and landscape evolution modeling provide a simulation environment in which both the short- and long-term consequences of land-use activities and alternative land use strategies can be...

Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form: An Analytical Approach
ISBN: 9780306467219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Phylogenetic analysis and morphometrics have been developed by biologists into rigorous analytic tools for testing hypotheses about the relationships between groups of species. This book applies these tools to paleontological data. The fossil record is our one true chronicle of the history of life, preserving a set of macroevolutionary patterns; thus various hypotheses about evolutionary processes can be tested in the fossil record using phylogentic analysis and morphometrics. The first book of its type, Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form will be useful in...
