Statistical Challenges in Astronomy
ISBN: 9781441930484 / Angielski / Miękka / 506 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Digital sky surveys, data from orbiting telescopes, and advances in computation have increased the quantity and quality of astronomical data by several orders of magnitude in recent years. Making sense of this wealth of data requires sophisticated statistical and data analytic techniques. Fortunately, statistical methodologies have similarly made great strides in recent years. Powerful synergies thus emerge when astronomers and statisticians join in examining astrostatistical problems and approaches. The volume focuses on several themes: .The increasing power of Bayesian approaches to...

Space Weather & Telecommunications
ISBN: 9781441936516 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Space weather has an enormous influence on modern telecommunication systems even though we may not always appreciate it. We shall endeavor throughout this monograph to expose the relationships between space weather factors and the performance (or lack thereof) of telecommunication, navigation, and surveillance systems. Space weather is a rather new term, having found an oMicial expression as the result of several government initiatives that use the term in the title of programs. But it is the logical consequence of the realization that space also has weather, just as the lower atmosphere has...

The Future of the Universe
ISBN: 9781849969680 / Angielski / Miękka / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many excellent books have been written about the past history of the universe and of the various objects--galaxies, stars, planets-- to be found in it. All the exciting events from the original Big Bang to the appearance of human beings have been carefully recorded. Much less has been written about what comes next. What will happen to all these galaxies, stars, and planets in the future? And what will happen to us, and to any other intelligent life in the u- verse? It is obviously more dif?cult to examine the future than the past, but there are ways of doing it. Not everything in the universe...

Ionospheric Precursors of Earthquakes
ISBN: 9783642058769 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book aims to explain the variations of near-Earth plasma observed over seismically active areas several days/hours before strong seismic shocks. It demonstrates how seismo-ionospheric coupling is part of the global electric circuit and shows that the anomalous electric field appearing in active seismic areas is the main carrier of information from the earth into the ionosphere. The discussion of physical mechanisms is based on experimental data. The results can be regarded as the basis for future applications such as short-term earthquake prediction. It proceeds to describe existing...

Short-Wave Solar Radiation in the Earth's Atmosphere: Calculation, Observation, Interpretation
ISBN: 9783642059865 / Angielski / Miękka / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on data from an experiment which ran for ten years, this book summarizes the results of the Atmospheric Physics Department of the St. Petersburg University and the Main Geophysical Observatory. The processed data now forms a rich dataset of spectral values of radiative characteristics under different atmospheric conditions. The analysis of this database clearly shows that the solar radiative absorption in a dusty and cloudy atmosphere is significantly higher than assumed to date. Both graduate students of atmospheric sciences as well as scientists and researchers in the field of...

Elementary Physics of Complex Plasmas
ISBN: 9783642067037 / Angielski / Miękka / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Complex plasmas are dusty plasmas in which the density and electric charges of the dust grains are sufficiently high to induce long-range grain-grain interactions, as well as strong absorption of charged-plasma components. Together with the sources replenishing the plasma such systems form a highly dissipative thermodynamically open system that exhibits many features of collective behaviour generally found in complex systems. Most notably among them are self-organized patterns such as plasma crystals, plasma clusters, dust stars and further spectacular new structures. Beyond their intrinsic...

The Cold Universe: Saas-Fee Advanced Course 32, 2002. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy
ISBN: 9783642074073 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern astronomy has stretched its domains of exploration tremendously. Not only objects at very large distances and very old states of the Universe can be examined, but also all kinds of radiations and phenomena are now accessible. Astronomers constantly move from considerations about very - luted to very dense systems. Hot and energetic systems, being the easiest to observe, have attracted a lot of attention. However the cold and low energetic states have been so- what neglected, either because being harder to observe they appear unexc- ing, or because being less well known they tend to be...

Physics of Neutrinos: And Application to Astrophysics
ISBN: 9783642078514 / Angielski / Miękka / 593 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book aims to provide a survey of the current state of research in the physics of neutrinos, which has undergone dramatic development during the last decade, in a form accessible to the nonspecialist and the graduate stu dent. The major issue during the last two decades has been the neutrino mass, whereas the interaction of neutrinos was well understood within the framework of the standard theory, which was established in the 1970s. In 1994, we published a textbook-format review article "Physics 01Neutrinos' in "Physics and Astrophysics 01 Neutrinos," in anticipation that the mass of the...

Flow and Creep in the Solar System: Observations, Modeling and Theory
ISBN: 9789048142453 / Angielski / Miękka / 506 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The NATO ASI held in the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, June 17-28, 1991 was, we believe, the first attempt to bring together geoscientists from all the disciplines related to the solar system where fluid flow is a fundamental phenomenon. The various aspects of flow discussed at the meeting ranged from the flow of ice in glaciers, through motion of the solar wind, to the effects of flow in the Earth's mantle as seen in surface phenomena. A major connecting theme is the role played by convection. For a previous attempt to review the various ways in which convection...
