Cosmic Rays and Earth
Author: J.W. Bieber
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401711879
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
The year 1998 marked the 50th anniversary of the invention of the neutron monitor, a key research tool in the field of space physics and solar-terrestrial relations. In honor of this occasion a workshop entitled 'Cosmic Rays and Earth' was organized to review the detection of cosmic rays at the surface and in the lower atmosphere of Earth, including the effect that this radiation has on the terrestrial environment. A special focus was the role of neutron monitors in the investigation of this radiation, on the science enabled by the unique dataset of the worldwide network of neutron monitors, and on continuing opportunities to use these data to solve outstanding problems. This book is the principal product of that workshop, integrating the contribu tions of all participants. Following a general summary of the workshop prepared by the editors, the volume leads off with a keynote article by Professor John Simpson describing his invention of the neutron monitor in 1948 and the early scientific discoveries made with this instrument.

High Frequency Processes In Magnetic Materials
Author: Andrei N Slavin
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 981451814X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
This review volume deals with recent advances in topics of importance to scientists and engineers involved in research and device development utilizing magnetic oxides and multilayers. The subject matter covered includes linear and nonlinear high frequency magnetic excitations and interaction between magnons and photons. In particular, this book contains detailed discussion on the detection of magnons by Brillouin light scattering and photothermal spectroscopy, interaction between spin waves and optical guided modes, microwave solitons, and spin wave instabilities. Recent advances in traditional characterization techniques such as ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic resonance, and in studies on magnetic order in noncrystalline oxides are also presented.

Affective Trajectories
Author: Hansjörg Dilger
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478007168
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
The contributors to Affective Trajectories examine the mutual and highly complex entwinements between religion and affect in urban Africa in the early twenty-first century. Drawing on ethnographic research throughout the continent and in African diasporic communities abroad, they trace the myriad ways religious ideas, practices, and materialities interact with affect to configure life in urban spaces. Whether examining the affective force of the built urban environment or how religious practices contribute to new forms of attachment, identification, and place-making, they illustrate the force of affect as it is shaped by temporality and spatiality in the religious lives of individuals and communities. Among other topics, they explore Masowe Apostolic Christianity in relation to experiences of displacement in Harare, Zimbabwe; Muslim identity, belonging, and the global ummah in Ghana; crime, emotions, and conversion to neo-Pentecostalism in Cape Town; and spiritual cleansing in a Congolese branch of a Japanese religious movement. In so doing, the contributors demonstrate how the social and material living conditions of African cities generate diverse affective forms of religious experiences in ways that foster both localized and transnational paths of emotional knowledge. Contributors. Astrid Bochow, Marian Burchardt, Rafael Cazarin, Hansjörg Dilger, Alessandro Gusman, Murtala Ibrahim, Peter Lambertz, Isabelle L. Lange, Isabel Mukonyora, Benedikt Pontzen, Hanspeter Reihling, Matthew Wilhelm-Solomon
