Sound Transmission through a Fluctuating Ocean

Sound Transmission through a Fluctuating Ocean

Roger Dashen; Walter H. Munk; Kenneth M. Watson; Frederik Zachariasen

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
The ocean is transparent to sound where slight irregularities within the ocean cause sound fluctuations, and thus set limits on the many uses of sound in the ocean, similar to the limits imposed by the atmosphere on ground-based telescopes. This 1979 book attempts to connect the known structure of the ocean volume with experimental results in long-range sound transmission. Theories of wave propagation through irregular media, developed for optical and radio wave transmission are found to be inapplicable in many respects due to the complications of ocean structure, particularly the combination of anisotropy and 'sound channel'. The authors extend wave propagation theory to account for the ocean complications and introduces the path-integral approach to the solution of the strong-scattering regime that solves many long-standing problems. The book is written at the post-graduate level, but has been carefully organised to give experimenters a grasp of important results without undue mathematics.
Frank Walter - Music of the Spheres

Frank Walter - Music of the Spheres

This publication has been produced to accompany an exhibition staged by Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh, for the 2021 Edinburgh Art Festival. The exhibition is the first devoted to Frank Walter's 'spools' - the small circular paintings which, in their consistency of scale and form, provide a lens through which to witness the workings of Walter's inner eye.Walter’s work was unknown during his lifetime, but in the decade since his death he has emerged as one of the most distinctive and intriguing Caribbean voices of the last fifty years. Painted with a rare directness and immediacy on whatever material came most readily to hand, his works describe a visionary artist rooted in the landscape of Antigua, the island of his birth.The publication, co-published by Ingleby, Edinburgh, and Anomie, London, features contributions by Barbara Paca, Professor Paget Henry, Kenneth M. Milton and Mary-Elisabeth Moore. Edited and produced by Ingleby, the publication has been designed by Joanna Deans / Identity and printed by Graphius, Ghent.Frank Walter (1926-2009) was born Francis Archibald Wentworth Walter on Horsford Hill, Antigua. He spent much of the 1950s travelling in Scotland, England and West Germany. While in Europe, Walter pursued various creative activities including drawing, painting and creative writing. Walter returned to the Caribbean in 1961, where he began a prolific output of painting, drawing, writing, sculptural work, photography and sound art.Walter's work was first exhibited alongside paintings by Alfred Wallis and Forrest Bess in the exhibition 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' at Ingleby Gallery in Spring 2013. A solo exhibition of his work was presented by The DouglasHyde Gallery, Trinity College, Dublin, in summer 2013 and later that year, Ingleby Gallery presented a solo display of Walter's paintings at Art Basel Miami Beach. A major solo exhibition followed at Ingleby Gallery in spring 2015. In 2017, Frank Walter represented Antigua and Barbuda at the Venice Biennale in the show 'Frank Walter: The Last Universal Man 1926-2009'. A solo presentation of Walter's work also took place at Harewood House, Leeds, UK, in the summer of 2017. A major retrospective of the artist's work was displayed at both MMK Museum of Modern Art Frankfurt in 2020 and at David Zwirner, London, in the spring of 2021.

Grundvattenboken vänder sig framför allt till studenter inom geologi, miljövetenskap eller ingenjörsvetenskap. Även den yrkesverksamme inom vattenfrågor på företag, kommun, länsstyrelse eller annan myndighet har nytta av boken. Boken utgör en sammanställning av kunskapsläget inom grundvattenområdet och kan med fördel läsas av alla som är intresserade av vattnet i marken.Hydrogeologi, det vill säga grundvattenkunskap, är läran om vattnet under mark och dess interaktion med annat vatten, luft, jord, berg, levande organismer och växter. Grundvattnet finns inte direkt synligt, som till exempel ytvattnet i sjöar, vilket innebär att dess uppträdande och egenskaper kan vara svåra att greppa. Boken gör det osynliga grundvattnet synligt och ger en bättre förståelse för ämnet och dess komplexitet.I grundvattenboken ges en inblick i hydrogeologins historia, grundläggande processer och begrepp, grundvattenförekomster i Sverige, vattenkemi och mikroorganismer, undersöknings- och utvärderingsmetoder, geologiska och numeriska modeller, föroreningsproblem, vattenrening, lagstiftning och exempel på hydrogeologiska problemställningar i samhället. Utgångspunkten är svenska förhållanden men med globala utblickar.

In 3013 AD, a dying society of cloned future humans sends an agent back in time to 2035 AD, in an attempt to change the past and save themselves. In 2035 AD, an enthusiastic promoter of Transhumanism sets the human race on an inevitable path to a dystopian future. A young inventor and his friends are the only opposition to a scientific-technocratic society that is blindly rushing toward its own destruction.THE POSTHUMAN FUTUREHarry Kaine has a vision: physical life extension through nano-biotechnology, gene editing, and mind uploads to printed bodies that always stay healthy. Harry's A Better Humanity centers are embraced by a world population used to mass vaccinations. The new Transhuman bodies are brimming with health, and never get sick. This creates a schism in society between those who embrace physical life extension and those who choose a more spiritual evolution that embraces the evolution of human biology. Then, something happens to billions of people who have become enhanced...

Living as the Living Jesus

One objective all Christians hold in common is to grow in maturity and faithfulness. Achieving that goal, however, is a constant and difficult challenge. Ethicist Kenneth W. M. Wozniak shows how the author of the epistle to the Hebrews argued that the mature Christian life is a disciplined one lived consistently in the moral realm of human experience. Although the authority for such living traditionally has been the picture of Jesus as found in the Gospels, that picture is only a partial and incomplete one. It does not include Hebrews' essential depiction of the current, living Jesus--both exalted Son and High Priest--who is the focus of worship and whom Christians claim to follow. Wozniak argues that only the often-ignored Jesus of Hebrews, when coupled with the Jesus pictured in the Gospels, is the complete Jesus Christians must obey, emulate, and implant within themselves if they are to live as mature followers of Jesus; it is to this Jesus that they must respond if they are to live faithfully as those who claim ""Jesus is Lord ""

An ethical analysis of the moral writings of the late Edward John Carnell, former president and professor of ethics and philosophy of religion at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Carnell is viewed as one of a handful of mid-twentieth century evangelicals who sparked a renaissance of the evangelical concern for both individual salvation and the social order that typified many of the nineteenth century American revivalists. Carnell synthesized nineteenth century American revivalism, Kierkegaardianism, and Niebuhrianism, while holding to the ethical authority of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. Kenneth W. M. Wozniak is a Christian social ethicist who has spent forty years in executive management at large organizations in several industry segments, including financial services, health care, international relief and development, higher education, and software development. He has published on a variety of ethical themes, with a focus on hermeneutics and authority in the moral realm. His PhD is from the School of Religion at the University of Southern California.

What does faithfulness mean for modern Christians who find themselves immersed in a social and moral context two millennia removed from that of Jesus? As a notion endorsed by Christians universally, irrespective of church tradition, geographic location, economic and political milieu, or spiritual experience, faithfulness is essential to mature Christian living. Yet many in the modern church have lost--or perhaps forgotten--the true nature of faithfulness, and thus have wandered from that which God envisages for believers. Rediscovering what faithfulness entails, however, is altogether possible. Theological ethicist Kenneth W. M. Wozniak takes the reader on a journey of encounter, looking to the earliest Christians and their understanding of fidelity to the way of Jesus as a model for believers today, and as the means by which the essence of faithfulness--rooted not in adherence to a performance standard but rather in personal cultivation of the divine character--the Jesus way not only can be discovered, but also embraced and enjoyed by the one who aspires to align with the very being of God.
