Geomagnetism: Theories of since 1900
نویسندگان
چکیده
A definitive history of geomagnetism is yet to be written, but brief accounts have appeared in various publications. The story up to 1940 has been summarized (Chapman and Bartels, pp. 898-936). Perhaps the most complete account is by David R. Barraclough (pp. 584-592). Brief accounts have also been given by Stuart Malin (in Jacobs, ed., Geomagnetism, 1: 1-50), and others (Multhauf and Good, pp. 1-46; Good, pp. 524-526; and Parkinson, pp. 347-355).

متن کاملCarnosine: physiological properties and therapeutic potential.
Carnosine and related dipeptides are naturally-occurring histidine-containing compounds. They are found in several tissues, particularly in skeletal muscle. Since carnosine was discovered in Russia in 1900, there have been many theories about its biological functions, but none has been proved beyond reasonable doubt [1, 2]. However, this compound is reported to possess antioxidant, buffering, i...

The British Geological Survey has operated a World Data Centre for Geomagnetism since 1966. Geomagnetic time-series data from around 280 observatories worldwide at a number of time resolutions are held along with various magnetic survey, model, and activity index data. The operation of this data centre provides a valuable resource for the geomagnetic research community. The operation of the WDC...
متن کاملFundamental Physical Constants and Conversion Factors
This section provides a summary of important units for geomagnetism and geoelectricty. In addition, a summary of conversion factors and fundamental units of relevance to earth and planetary science are presented for reference. Despite the sentiment expressed above by Vigoureux, it still seems that plenty of us slave over SI units in geomagnetism. There is probably no other scientific discipline...

Cosmic-ray background fluxes were modeled based on existing measurements and theories and are presented here. The model, originally developed for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Balloon Experiment, covers the entire solid angle (4π sr), the sensitive energy range of the instrument (∼ 10 MeV to 100 GeV) and abundant components (proton, alpha, e−, e, μ−, μ and gamma). It is expre...
