Heft land 2 ............... 38 SYMONS'S MONTHLY METEOROLOGICAL MAGAZINE. CCCLXXXV.J FEBRUARY, 1898. METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS AT CAMDEN SQUARE, LONDON, N.W. Lat. 51° 32' 40" N. ; Lon. 0° 8' 0" W. Altitude 111 ft. I WOULD always rather refer to the work of someone else than to my own, but there are few records of meteorological observations day and night for forty years without a break, absolutely uniform in system, nearly so as to instruments and locality, and mostly made by one person. Moreover, rightly or wrongly, special interest attaches to the climate of the million-peopled metropolis, and there is no station with suitable exposure in or near London which has been at work nearly so long as that at Camden Square. For these reasons I have had the records worked up, and intend to give during the present year a series of tables for each month similar to that for January on p. 4. In this long period there have, of course, been more than 14,000 days, giving considerably more than 500,000 entries, and to compress the results of one-twelfth of these into a single-page table has not been easy ; hence considerable care must be used in quoting from the table, and the following explanations, which will apply to all the series, should be read carefully. EXPLANATIONS. Each table refers to the 40 months of that name, and is entirely independent of any other month or months.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • A Brief Introduction to the History of Chemical Kinetics
    Chapter 1 A Brief Introduction to the History of Chemical Kinetics Petr Ptáček, Tomáš Opravil and František Šoukal Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.78704 Abstract This chapter begins with a general overview of the content of this work, which explains the structure and mutual relation between discussed topics. The following text provides brief historical background to chemical kinetics, lays the foundation of transition state theory (TST), and reaction thermodynamics from the early Wilhelmy quantitative study of acid-catalyzed conversion of sucrose, through the deduction of mathematical models to explain the rates of chemical reactions, to the transition state theory (absolute rate theory) developed by Eyring, Evans, and Polanyi. The concept of chemical kinetics and equilib- rium is then introduced and described in the historical context. Keywords: kinetics, chemical equilibrium, rate constant, activation energy, frequency factor, Arrhenius equation, Van’t Hoff-Le Châtelier’s principle, collision theory, transition state theory 1. Introduction Modern chemical (reaction) kinetics is a science describing and explaining the chemical reac- tion as we understand it in the present day [1]. It can be defined as the study of rate of chemical process or transformations of reactants into the products, which occurs according to the certain mechanism, i.e., the reaction mechanism [2]. The rate of chemical reaction is expressed as the change in concentration of some species in time [3]. It can also be pointed that chemical reactions are also the subject of study of many other chemical and physicochemical disciplines, such as analytical chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, technology, and so on [2].

It was intended to be automated and printed out but this form was going to be delayed for a year or more so the catalog part has been typed instead. Lunar transient phenomena have been observed for almost 1 1/2 millenia, both by the naked eye and telescopic aid. The author has been collecting these reports from the literature and personal communications for the past 17 years. It has resulted in a listing of 1468 reports representing only slight searching of the literature and probably only a fraction of the number of anomalies actually seen. The phenomena are unusual instances of temporary changes seen by observers that they reported in journals, books, and other literature. Therefore, although it seems we may be able to suggest possible aberrations as the causes of some or many of the phenomena it is presumptuous of us to think that these observers, long time students of the moon, were not aware of most of them.

Cloud‑banks look like land, icebergs masquerade as islands...” Watch as normal human scales and reference points disappear amidst the grandeur of nature in its most pristine form, from extended sunrises that paint the icescape in soft shades of pink to the lingering golden light of the austral summer, where humpback whales, leopard seals and Adélie penguins swim among sparkling turquoise glaciers and glimmering icebergs. Be among the fortunate few to set foot on the continent of Antarctica, and see how its spectacular illuminations reveal the majesty and contrasts of this unique wilderness during your extraordinary 14‑day journey to the bottom of the world. We invite you to join K‑State President Richard B. Myers ’65 and first lady Mary Jo Myers ’64 as you retrace the sea lanes traveled by storied explorers Shackleton, Amundsen and Scott, inspired to seek out the final frontier of “The White Continent.” Cruise for nine nights aboard the exclusively chartered, state‑of‑the‑art, Five‑Star, ice‑class Le Boréal, one of the finest vessels in Antarctic waters.
