Whole Earth Measurements

چکیده
Let us take a very commonplace, often discussed and critical topic within our conversations regarding critical environmental issues: Are we detecting a Greenhouse Effect, and related to this, is it exacerbated by "homogenic factors," i.e., human actions? At this occasion I suspect that most would be inclined to give a positive answer to both of these questions. But, if pushed philosophically, what would be the evidence, and how well grounded would it be for such affirmations?

Long duration measurements of whole-body vibration exposures associated with surface coal mining equipment compared to previous short-duration measurements.
Previous measurements of whole-body vibration associated with earth-moving equipment at surface coal mines have highlighted the significance of the hazard. Considerable variability in measurement amplitudes, even within the same equipment type operated at the same site, has been noted. However, the measurements have previously been undertaken for relatively short durations. Fifty-nine measureme...

This work is a study of the Earths free oscillations considering a merge of solid and liquid model. At the turn of 19th century Geophysicists presented the theory of the free oscillations for a self-gravitating, isotropic and compressible sphere. Assuming a steel structure for an Earth size sphere, they predicted a period of oscillation of about 1 hour. About 50 years later, the free oscillat...
متن کاملGround Based Measurements of Solar UV Index in Tabriz
Introduction: Ultraviolet index (UVI) is a dimensionless scale, which describes the maximum intensity and biologic effects of UV during a specific time, on surface of the earth. The UVI is an international standard measurement of the strength of sunburn producing ultraviolet radiation at a particular place and time. This index is an easy and understandable concept for pr...
متن کاملMeasurement of Radiation
The various fluxes of radiation to and from the Earth’s surface are among the most important variables in the heat economy of the Earth as a whole and at any individual place at the Earth’s surface or in the atmosphere. Radiation measurements are used for the following purposes: (a) To study the transformation of energy within the Earth-atmosphere system and its variation in time and space; (b)...
متن کاملHow on earth moving equipment can ISO 2631.1 be used to evaluate whole body vibration?
Exposure to whole body vibration (WBV) is a hazard for operators of earth-moving equipment. ISO2631.1 “Evaluation of human exposure to whole-body vibration. Part 1 General Requirements” is referred to within guidance provided to obligation holders such as mine operators and equipment manufacturers. Measurements gathered from dozers in operation at a surface coal mine are examined to both gain i...
متن کاملPhotonic crystal multiple diffraction observed by angular-resolved reflection measurements
Angular-resolved reflection measurements suggest that higher-order Miller-index crystal planes of a fcc photonic crystal reflect specularly about the normal to the 111 planes. We suggest that this phenomenon results from a two-step diffraction process where light is first Bragg diffracted by higher-order Miller-index crystal planes and is then two-dimensionally diffracted by periodicities withi...
