Introducing the first, self-contained reference on acoustic
waveform logging Acoustic measurements in boreholes were first made
as a specialized logging technique in geological exploration, but
recent advances have greatly expanded the potential applications of
this technique. Acoustic Waves in Boreholes provides a thorough
review of the theory and interpretation techniques needed to
realize these applications, emphasizing the role of guided modes
and critically refracted waves in determining the characteristics
of recorded waveforms. Topics covered in this comprehensive volume
include the seismic properties of rocks; propagation of
axisymmetric waves along fluid-filled boreholes in isotropic rocks;
and symmetric and nonsymmetric sources in isotropic, transversely
isotropic, and porous, permeable formations in open and cased
boreholes. Each chapter includes the theory of synthetic
microseismogram computation, interpretation and data inversion
techniques illustrated using computed seismograms, and case
histories using experimental data. Appendices providing the
mathematical formulation needed to compute microseismograms, with a
single consistent notation used throughout, are also included in
appropriate chapters. The wide range of geomechanical properties
covered in this book will interest exploration geophysicists,
reservoir engineers, civil engineers, geologists, and soil
scientists.

This important new book focuses on the involvement of cytokines in
specific areas of inflammatory diseases, such as granulomatous
responses, lung disease, hepatic dysfunction and the acute phase,
arthritis and accompanying bone remodeling, neurogenic
inflammation, and shock. The roles of GM-CSF, IL-6, IL-2, TGFb EGF,
and LIF are discussed, as well as the medical treatments that
affect cytokine activity. The results of approaches important to
the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, such as the search
for endogenous biological response modifiers that control cytokine
function or production, attempts to synthesize heterocyclic
compounds in the organic chemistry lab, and research regarding
second messenger pathways involved in IL-1 and TNF production are
examined. This book will provide anyone in cytokine research,
especially clinical investigators, pharmaceutical industry
researchers, and academic research scientists, with important
information on how cytokine research might be used.
Living on the Edge: Texas During the Civil War and Reconstruction
explores the complex issues faced by Texans in the Civil War era.
Through a wide range of primary source documents, the book sheds
light on a distinct historical perspective born of the combination
of geographic location and cultural diversity. The readings and
primary source documents in the book record both exceptional and
mundane events of everyday life during a dramatic and fascinating
era. While students may already be familiar with slavery,
secession, the war years, and the Reconstruction period, they will
gain new insight into history through personal writings such as
slave narratives and diaries. In addition, speeches and ads,
government reports, and political documents reflect the perspective
and concerns of society at the time. The geographic position of
Texas combined with its cultural diversity make the history of
Texas in the Civil War era unique. Living on the Edge: Texas During
the Civil War and Reconstruction offers a look at an aspect of
American history that is suitable for courses in Civil War history,
Texas history, and historical methods.
Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz (1849 1930) was the principal
force behind the rise of the German Imperial Navy prior to World
War I, challenging Great Britain s command of the seas. As State
Secretary of the Imperial Naval Office from 1897 to 1916, Tirpitz
wielded great power and influence over the national agenda during
that crucial period. By the time he had risen to high office,
Tirpitz was well equipped to use his position as a platform from
which to dominate German defense policy. Though he was cool to the
potential of the U-boat, he enthusiastically supported a torpedo
boat branch of the navy and began an ambitious building program for
battleships and battle cruisers. Based on exhaustive archival
research, including new material from family papers, Tirpitz and
the Imperial German Navy is the first extended study in English of
this germinal figure in the growth of the modern navy."
