Application of Cathodoluminescence Imaging to the Study of Sedimentary Rocks
ISBN: 9780521153478 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Minerals in sedimentary rocks emit characteristic visible luminescence called cathodoluminescence (CL) when bombarded by high energy electrons. CL emissions can be displayed as colour images in a cathodoluminescence microscope or as high-resolution monochromatic images in a scanning electron microscope. This provides information not available by other techniques on the provenance of the mineral grains in sedimentary rocks, and insights into diagenetic changes. The book, first published in 2006, begins with an easily understood presentation of the fundamental principles of CL imaging. This is...

Experimentelle Untersuchung Des Laminar-Turbulenten Umschlags an Einer Parallel Angeströmten Konkaven Wand
ISBN: 9783540059486 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Erganzung zu den bisher durchgefuhrten experimentellen Unter suchungen an konkaven Wanden wurde hier besonders angestrebt, den unmittelbaren Einfluss der Langswirbelstorung auf den laminar-tur bulenten Umschlag herauszufinden. Es musste daher versucht werden, andere Storungen, wie die Tollmien-Schlichting-Wellen, moglichst zu vermeiden. Dies gelang weitgehend durch die Wahl besonders stark gekrummter Wande (R=O,5mund R= I m), in deren Grenzschicht die durch die Zentrifugalkraft hervorgerufene Instabilitat so stark ist, dass bei kleinen Geschwindigkeiten die laminare Stromung bereits ge gen...

System of Mineralogy
ISBN: 9781108029735 / Angielski / Miękka / 574 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Robert Jameson (1774 1854) was a renowned geologist who held the chair of natural history at Edinburgh from 1804 until his death. A pupil of Gottlob Werner at Freiberg, he was in turn one of Charles Darwin's teachers. Originally a follower of Werner's influential theory of Neptunism to explain the formation of the earth's crust, and an opponent of Hutton and Playfair, he was later won over by the idea that the earth was formed by natural processes over geological time. He was a controversial writer, accused of bias towards those who shared his Wernerian sympathies such as Cuvier, while...

Petrology of the Metamorphic Rocks
ISBN: 9789048140015 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There has been a great advance in the understanding of processes of meta morphism and of metamorphic rocks since the last edition of this book appeared. Methods for determining temperatures and pressures have become almost routine, and there is a wide appreciation that there is not a single temperature and pressure of metamorphism, but that rocks may preserve, in their minerals, chemistry and textures, traces of their history of burial, heating, deformation and permeation by fluids. However, this excit ing new knowledge is still often difficult for non-specialists to understand, and this...
