Exploring all the available sources, this study, which until now
was only available in Greek, presents us with an account of El
Greco's life up to the time he left Crete for Italy in 1567 at the
age of twenty-six, already an accomplished professional painter.
Nikolaos Panagiotakes provides a thorough assessment of earlier
research on Crete of the 16th century then goes on to present new
conclusions on the life of El Greco deriving from the author's
firsthand reading of Venetian archive material, including questions
relating to his birthplace, family, name, religious affiliation,
and apprenticeship as a painter. The evidence indicates that El
Greco was an established professional 'master painter' earlier than
had previously been thought and also that he had a family before
leaving Crete, thus perhaps explaining why he did not later marry
JerA(3)nima de las Cuevas, with whom he had a son in Toledo. This
work marks a valuable contribution to El Greco scholarship,
particularly in its thoroughly substantiated assessment of the
evidence regarding the formative years in the life of El Greco, one
of the greatest of all European artists.
Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciences about
four decades ago. Modeling has proven its worth and now it is an
accepted procedure for analyzing and solving geological problems.
The papers in this collection are focused on modeling sediment
deposition and sedimentary sequences and have a decidedly practical
flavor. Some of the leading simulation packages, such as
CORRELATOR, SEDFLUX, SEDpak, SEDSIM, STRATA, and STRATSIM are
applied to problems in hydrocarbon exploration, oil production,
groundwater development, coal-bed appraisal, geothermics, and
environmental diagnosis. All of these subjects fall under the broad
heading of sedimentary basin analysis. The fifteen papers in this
volume are written by internationally recognized experts from
academia and industry. The contributions represent the status of
geologic modeling and simulation at the start of the 21st century,
and will give the reader an insight into current research problems
and their possible solutions.

This thesis covers a period of transformation in the Army between
the large Civil War Army armed primarily with muzzle-loading
percussion arms to an Army numbering in the tens of thousands armed
with magazine-fed bolt-action repeating rifles by 1900. This
document covers the boards, trials, procedures, political and
economic constraints involved in selecting new arms during this
period, as well as the arms considered and selected. This document
concludes with an analysis of the decisions made and how similar
considerations affect decisions regarding the small arms carried by
America's soldiers today.
