The Universe in a Grain of Sand

چکیده

The Interdependence and Nonseparability of Phenomena The concept of interdependence lies at the heart of the Buddhist vision of the nature of reality, and has immense implications in Buddhism regarding how we should live our lives. This concept of interdependence is strikingly similar to the concept of nonseparability in quantum physics. Both concepts lead us to ask a question that is both simple and fundamental: Can a "thing," or a "phenomenon," exist autonomously? If not, in what way and to what degree are the universe's phenomena interconnected? If things do not exist per se, what conclusions must be drawn about life?

Comparison the characteristics of grain size and morphoscopy in new and old wind deposits for sand sources determination in Damghan Erg

Grain size is one of the most obvious characteristics in many studies of Aeolian erosion, Ergs, moving of sand dune, etc. Comparison of Grain size and morphoscopy between new and old sand dunes in an Erg, help us to identify the sources sand and control reactivity sand dunes. This study, as first step, by aerial photography and satellite imagery attempting to identify areas were sedimented. The...

Grain Size and Shape of Sand Grains in Ergs of Iran

Large areas of Iran are under the influence of wind erosion thus it is important that we recognize three zones ofremoval, transportation and deposition. The deposition zone is very important due to more damages and tangibleeffects. In this study we try to obtain a comprehensive idea to Persian desert with use of laboratory facilities, remotesensing, GIS and field surveying. We survey 28 ergs in...

Studying the Morphologic Maturation of Aeolian Sand Grains During Transportation Process of Wind Erosion (Case study: Khartouran Erg)

Wind, in the duration of its erosional process, affects considerable changes in a grain's morphologyfrom its removal (detachment) step to sedimentation. In other word, a grain undergoes its gradualevolution during the transit process. In this project, the maturation of Aeolian sand grains had beenstudied upon as based on texture maturity indicator which includes: sorting, mean size grain, round...
