Kolmogorov Spectra of Turbulence I

Wave Turbulence

By: Vladimir E. Zakharov,Victor S. L'vov,Gregory Falkovich

Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information. Of the possible open systems, it is those endowed with many degrees of freedom and strongly deviating from equilibrium that are most challenging. A simple but very significant example of such a system is given by developed turbulence in a continuous medium, where we can discern astonishing features of universality. This two-volume monograph deals with the theory of turbulence viewed as a general physical phenomenon. In addition to vortex hydrodynamic turbulence, it considers various cases of wave turbulence in plasmas, magnets, atmosphere, ocean and space. A sound basis for discussion is provided by the concept of cascade turbulence with relay energy transfer over different scales and modes. We shall show how the initial cascade hypothesis turns into an elegant theory yielding the Kolmogorov spectra of turbulence as exact solutions. We shall describe the further development of the theory discussing stability prob lems and modes of Kolmogorov spectra formation, as well as their matching with sources and sinks. This volume is dedicated to developed wave turbulence in different media.

Ego Identity

A Handbook for Psychosocial Research

By: James E. Marcia,Alan S. Waterman,David R. Matteson,Sally L. Archer,Jacob L. Orlofsky

Ego Identity: A Handbook for Psychosocial Research contains an integrated presentation of identity theory, literature reviews covering the hundreds of research studies on identity, a discussion of the techniques of interviewing for psychosocial constructs, and model Identity Status Interviews and scoring manuals for three age groups: early- and middle- adolescence, the college years and adulthood. Special attention is devoted to questions of the personality and social patterns associ ated with differing approaches to the task of identity formation, the processes and patterns of identity development, and the similarities and differences with which females and males form their sense of identity. Theory and research on Erikson's concept of intimacy is presented, including the Intimacy Status Interview and scoring manual. This handbook is also designed to serve as a model for those interested in developing and using interview techniques for any of the other Eriksonian stages of psychosocial development. This book is ideal for researchers of ego identity and intimacy, practitioners and graduate students in developmental, personality, and social psychology as well as to psychiatrists.

Wave Turbulence Under Parametric Excitation

Applications to Magnets

By: Victor S. L'vov

WAVE TURBULENCE is a state of a system of many simultaneously excited and interacting waves characterized by an energy distribution which is not in any sense close to thermodynamic equilibrium. Such situations in a choppy sea, in a hot plasma, in dielectrics under arise, for example, a powerful laser beam, in magnets placed in a strong microwave field, etc. Among the great variety of physical situations in which wave turbulence arises, it is possible to select two large limiting groups which allow a detailed analysis. The first is fully developed wave turbulence arising when energy pumping and dissipation have essentially different space scales. In this case there is a wide power spectrum of turbulence. This type of turbulence is described in detail e. g. in Zakharov et al. 1 In the second limiting case the scales in which energy pumping and dissipation occur are the same. As a rule, in this case a narrow, almost singular spectrum of turbulence appears which is concentrated near surfaces, curves or even points in k-space. One of the most important, widely investigated and instructive examples of this kind of turbulence is parametric wave turbulence appearing as a result of the evolution of a parametric instability of waves in media under strong external periodic modulation (laser beam, microwave electromagnetic field, etc. ). The present book deals with parametric wave turbulence.

Scaling-Up Climate Action in Agriculture

Identifying Successes and Overcoming Challenges

By: Bager, S. L,Dinesh, D,Olesen, A.S,Andersen, S.P,Eriksen, S.L,Friis, A

Increasing food production in the face of a growing population, while adapting to and mitigating climate change constitutes a main challenge for the global agricultural sector. This study identifies, analyses and contextualizes regional initiatives related to agriculture and climate change in developing countries. In order to identify needs for improvements and possibilities for replication or scale-up, a review of recently launched initiatives is combined with a SWOT analysis. Moreover, the study places initiatives in the context of INDCs of Sub-Saharan African countries submitted under the UNFCCC. As a result, recommendations on how to develop and implement best practice agriculture climate change initiatives are presented.

Above Expectations - My Story

An Unlikely Journey from Almost Failing High School to Becoming a College Professor

By: S. L. Young

Mr. Young struggled academically throughout high school. In the 10th grade, he was directed to leave high school by a school administrator due to horrible academic performance. However, Mr. Young - after being told by his mother to make a choice - decided to remain in school. It would take years before he would connect with the process of learning in a meaningful way. Mr. Young had to mature before he would make some difficult choices and changes, which drove him to receive several college degrees and to later become a college professor. This story is about the power of choice, a dream, desire, and determination to not quit, to overcome, to persevere, and to excel after struggling academically for many years. This is a story of survival. Mr. Young chronicles his many educational challenges, setbacks, and lessons learned. This book details a deeply personal story. This story is a very insightful reference guide for anyone who is struggling or has struggled academically, teachers who want to obtain experiential knowledge from a past misdirected student and now teacher, or parents who seek to better understand the challenges faced by this former at-risk student's documentary.

Making Offers They Can't Refuse

The Twenty-One Sales in a Sale

By: Dr Stan a. Lindsay Ph. D.

Making Offers They Can't Refuse presents an Integrated Marketing Communication approach, centering on a thorough business proposal approach. Presenting Personal Selling as an honorable, ethical, and successful profession, this book teaches you to be totally thorough in the presentation of your case, using the art of persuasion as developed by some of history's greatest geniuses--Plato, Aristotle, and Jesus--and modern-day theorists Kenneth Burke and Stephen Toulmin. By identifying every necessary persuasive step in a direct Personal Selling situation, you are encouraged to be thorough. Personal Selling is the most thorough form of marketing communication. Using Personal Sales as the skeleton upon which to introduce other forms of Integrated Marketing Communication [IMC] in this book, various comments will apply the principles learned in each of the twenty-one sales in a sale to the field of IMC. IMC is an approach that recognizes that all types of Marketing Communication used by a business or organization should be coordinated, in order to produce the most effective marketing results. Clearly, the more coordinated the Marketing Communication messages delivered by a business or organization, the more cost-effective and results-effective the overall marketing message will be. Among the types of Marketing Communication included in IMC are: Advertising (traditionally, the primary mass media form), Public Relations (often, the attempt to receive mass media coverage without fees), Personal Sales (the central skeletal approach of this book), Promotions (providing opportunities, incentives, and stimuli for "trying" the product now), Packaging (the messages sent by the way the product is packaged), Sponsorships (reputation enhancement provided by sponsoring events, etc.), Direct Marketing (through catalogs, infomercials, telemarketing, internet, etc.), Online Marketing (through the internet). Mobile Marketing (through cellphones and similar devices), and Diffusion of Innovations (through word of mouth). Making Offers They Can't Refuse shows you how to integrate all of these forms of marketing communication to make the most effective marketing effort.

Ethical Opportunity Cost

It's a Matter of Choice

By: S. L. Young

Individuals are often told to behave ethically and to 'do the right thing'; however, there are not often discussions about the potential personal costs if one chooses to act and/or behave ethically.The impact of addressing unethical activities can lead to individuals who are chastised, isolated, retaliated against, and more. These potential consequences can be powerful motivation to prevent impacted individuals and others from taking action to resolve questionable and/or unethical issues.Individuals, organizations, companies, and societies have a responsibility to encourage and enforce ethical actions and/or behaviors, along with ensuring that those who review, report, and/or resolve ethical situations are protected from unwanted unwelcomed, and unnecessary attacks.This book details the components of ethics, the types of ethical issues, case studies based on actual events, critical thinking questions, and recommendations to address questionable and/or unethical issues, along with guidance to ensure and enforce ethical compliance.Ethical actions and/or behaviors are normally pretty clear; although, the real issue with ethical compliance is generally related to individual interpretation. Therefore, while confronted with an ethical dilemma ... what will you choose to do?
