Moon by Five Mile Press Pty Limited, The,Scott L. Montgomery Pdf

A spectacular tribute to Earth's nearest neighbour... The view of the heavens has fascinated humankind for as long as we have looked up with a sense of curiosity. And while the life-giving Sun dazzles, and the stars draw constellations in the sky, it is the ever-changing, enigmatic Moon that has captured our imagination. Through history, the Moon has been a deity to worship, a repository for fantastical creatures, a lucky charm, and a bringer of madness. Moon traces the story of how we came to understand and appreciate our neighbour's true nature. How mathematics and philosophy showed it to be a satellite in a system subject to natural laws, how telescopes revealed its face in details and how the Space Race and the Apollo program made the ancient dream of reaching the Moon a reality. Features lively and informative text by the world's experts. Packed with stunning photographs, artefacts and works of art, this book reveals both the mystery, mythology, and science surrounding our companion in space.

Progress in the Science and Technology of the Rare Earths by Leroy Eyring Pdf

Progress in the Science and Technology of the Rare Earths, Volume 1 is a 16-chapter text that brings together significant advances in understanding the scientific and technological aspects of rare earths. The first chapters deal with the geochemical properties, mass extraction, separation, fractionation, and solution chemistry of rare earths (RE). The next chapter related the U.S.S.R. efforts in delineating the chemistry of RE and in the discovery of other groups of substances for separation of RE mixtures. These topics are followed by discussions on phase equilibrium properties of RE and other oxides in mixed systems; the crystal chemistry of RE derivatives; physical and structural properties of alloys and intermetallic compounds; and the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of RE chalcogenides. The final chapter discusses the technical, industrial, and commercial applications of RE, with emphasis on their metallurgical potential. This book is of value to inorganic and organic chemists and researchers in the allied fields.

Novel AI Applications for Advancing Earth Sciences by Yadav, Sudesh,Yadav, Satya Prakash,Raj, Pethuru,Tiwari, Prabhakar,Albuquerque, Victor Hugo C. de Pdf

The Earth Sciences industry faces a new challenge - the need for accurate, efficient, and reliable methods to monitor and predict geological phenomena and environmental changes. As climate change, earthquakes, and other natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the necessity for advanced tools and techniques is paramount. Traditional methods often fall short in providing the precision and speed required to address these critical issues. Geologists and earth scientists who are grappling with the urgent problem of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize their field, will find the solution within the pages of Novel AI Applications for Advancing Earth Sciences. This book offers the research community concepts expanding upon the fusion of AI technology with earth sciences. By leveraging advanced AI tools, such as convolutional neural networks, support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and the potential of remote sensing satellites, this book transforms the identification of geological features, geological mapping, soil classification, and gas detection. Scientists can now predict earthquakes and assess the probability of climate change with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, the book explains how the optimization of algorithms for specific tasks substantially reduces the time complexity of earth observations, leading to an unprecedented leap in accuracy and efficiency.

Magnetic Properties of Rare Earth Metals by R. Elliott Pdf

The rare earths have a unique place among the elements. Although very much alike chemically and in most phy~ical properties they each have very different and striking magnetic properties. The reason, of course, lies in their 4f electrons which determine the magnetic properties but have little effect on other chemical and physical behaviour. Although they are not rare, some indeed are among the more common heavy elements in the earth's crust, the difficulty of separation has meant that their intricate magnetic properties have only recently been unravelled. Now, however, the general pattern of their magnetism is well charted and the underlying theory is well understood. Both are thoroughly summarised in this book. It provides an excellent example of the kind of extensive synthesis which is possible with modem solid state physics. it represents only a high plateau in the ascent to complete understanding. But It will become clear to the reader that while the overall position is satisfactory there are many details still to be elucidated experimentally and much to be done theoretically before all the underlying forces are identified and estimated from a priori calculations. It is hoped that the book will provide a useful stimulus in this direction. It should also be of use to those who are interested in related disciplines, for example the rare earth compounds, or the transition metals. In addition rare earths promise to be important technologically as alloy constituents.

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths by K.A. Gschneidner,L. Eyring,M.B. Maple Pdf

This volume of the Handbook is the first of a two-volume set of reviews devoted to the rare-earth-based high-temperature oxide superconductors (commonly known as hiTC superconductors). The history of hiTC superconductors is a few months short of being 14 years old when Bednorz and Müller published their results which showed that (La,BA)2CuO4 had a superconducting transition of ~30 K, which was about 7K higher than any other known superconducting material. Within a year the upper temperature limit was raised to nearly 100K with the discovery of an ~90K superconducting transition in YBa2Cu3O7-&dgr;. The announcement of a superconductor with a transition temperature higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen set-off a frenzy of research on trying to find other oxide hiTC superconductors. Within a few months the maximum superconducting transition reached 110 K (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3010, and then 122K (TlBa2Ca3Cu4O11. It took several years to push TC up another 11 K to 133 K with the discovery of superconductivity in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8, which is still the record holder today.

Anomalous Rare Earths and Actinides by J.X. Boucherle,J. Flouquet,C. Lacroix Pdf

Anomalous Rare Earths and Actinides: Valence Fluctuation and Heavy Fermions focuses on the characteristics, reactions, transformations, technologies, and processes involved in the study of anomalous rare earths and actinides. The selection first offers information on lanthanides and actinides and electronic structures in cerium monopnictides. Topics include rare earth metals with fluctuating valencies, 'normal' rare earth metals, and band calculation and Fermi surface. The text then elaborates on neutron scattering studies of anomalous rare earth compounds, including magnetic neutron scattering measurements, stability and localization of magnetic moments, and condensed state. The manuscript examines the transport properties of cerium monochalcogenides and pressure-volume relationships of cerium monochalcogenides and monopnictides. The text also ponders on the theory of anisotropic magnetic behavior in hybridizing actinide systems; band hybridization effects on indirect magnetic coupling of localized moments; and neutron scattering from transuranium materials. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in the research on anomalous rare earths and actinides.
