Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research

Sinopsis del Libro

The weather on planet Earth is a vital and sometimes fatal force in human affairs. Efforts to control or reduce the harmful impacts of weather go back far in time. In this, the latest National Academies' assessment of weather modification, the committee was asked to assess the ability of current and proposed weather modification capabilities to provide beneficial impacts on water resource management and weather hazard mitigation. It examines new technologies, reviews advances in numerical modeling on the cloud and mesoscale, and considers how improvements in computer capabilities might be applied to weather modification. Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research examines the status of the science underlying weather modification in the United States. It calls for a coordinated national research program to answer fundamental questions about basic atmospheric processes and to address other issues that are impeding progress in weather modification.

Del Tequesquite Al Adn

Un recorrido a lo largo de las aportaciones que la qu mica ha hecho a la humanidad, tanto en t rminos pragm ticos como de conocimiento de la naturaleza. Y, puesto que su prop sito es proporcionar una imagen til, informada e interesante de la que definen como "la ciencia de las transformaciones de la materia", se se ala de manera particular las contribuciones en este campo de la investigaci n en M xico y, vali ndose de recuadros que aparecen a lo largo de la obra, se explican con detalle t rminos usuales de la qu mica.

Ubiquitous Quantum Structure

Quantum-like structure is present practically everywhere. Quantum-like (QL) models, i.e. models based on the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and its generalizations can be successfully applied to cognitive science, psychology, genetics, economics, finances, and game theory. This book is not about quantum mechanics as a physical theory. The short review of quantum postulates is therefore mainly of historical value: quantum mechanics is just the first example of the successful application of non-Kolmogorov probabilities, the first step towards a contextual probabilistic description...

Ni idea

Humanity's understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore -- there are huge yawning voids in our basic notions of how the world works. Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson team up to explore everything we don't know about the universe, and while introducing the biggest mysteries in physics, they also helpfully demystify many complicated things we do know. And although the universe is full of weird things that don't make any sense, Cham and Whiteson make a case that the questions we can't answer are as interesting as the ones we can, and they invite...

Impactos territoriales

Durante siglos la cartografía ha sido considerada una herramienta fundamental en la representación que individuos o grupos humanos hacen del mundo, y se ha entendido no solamente como abstracción de la realidad física, socioeconómica o cultural de una porción de la superficie terrestre, sino como documento privilegiado que permite comprender la manera en que fue leída y habitada espacialmente una sociedad en el pasado. Si bien constituye una antigua tradición integrada a la geografía y a las ciencias sociales, recientemente se ha convertido en uno de los instrumentos más utilizados...
