Geophysics and Geomorphology in U.S.S.R

Turbulence in Geophysics

Fluid in Geophysics including atmosphere and ocean, compared with the normal fluid in Hydrodynamics, its properties, such as density, pressure, temperature and velocity, all change along with altitude. That is to say, fluid in Geophysics is stratified. Therefore, the characteristics of its turbulence at different stratifications will not be the same, either. Some special characteristics, as wel...

Hepatic Surgery in the Ussr

The history of hepatic surgery in the USSR goes back to the work of Russian surgeons in the late nineteenth century. The first successful liver resection was performed in Russia by N.V. Sklifosovsky in 1889, further contributions to surgery of the liver were made by M.M. Kuznetsov and V.R. Pensky who suggested the hepatic suture (Figure 1) in 1894 1, 2. At the same time as the topographical stu...

Preface Fractals in geophysics

Geophysical phenomena of interest to geoscientists include both atmospheric and terrestrial related processes, which can be either static or dynamic. Characterization of such phenomena requires advanced models which often include scale invariance concepts of fractal or multi-fractal type. Recently, there has been much interdisciplinary interest in the application of geophysical processes. The a...
