Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Contents: Particle detection; interaction of particles with a medium; scintillation counters; gas filled detectors; solid state ionization detectors; extracting information from detectors; position measurement; energy measurement; particle identification; detecting neutral particles; detector applications; statistical fluctuations and errors; a few worked examples.
Tells the traditional stories and describes the lifeways of some of
the first people of the Plains: the Pawnee, Sioux, Hidatsa, Mandan,
Arikara, and Omaha Indians. Through these stories, readers learn of
the essential ties Native peoples have to the land.
A new approach to understanding nonlinear dynamics and strange attractors The behavior of a physical system may appear irregular or chaotic even when it is completely deterministic and predictable for short periods of time into the future. How does one model the dynamics of a system operating in a chaotic regime? Older tools such as estimates of the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents and estimates of the spectrum of fractal dimensions do not sufficiently answer this question. In a significant evolution of the field of Nonlinear Dynamics, The Topology of Chaos responds to the fundamental challenge of chaotic systems by introducing a new analysis method–Topological Analysis–which can be used to extract, from chaotic data, the topological signatures that determine the stretching and squeezing mechanisms which act on flows in phase space and are responsible for generating chaotic data. Beginning with an example of a laser that has been operated under conditions in which it behaved chaotically, the authors convey the methodology of Topological Analysis through detailed chapters on: - Discrete Dynamical Systems: Maps
- Continuous Dynamical Systems: Flows
- Topological Invariants
- Branched Manifolds
- The Topological Analysis Program
- Fold Mechanisms
- Tearing Mechanisms
- Unfoldings
- Symmetry
- Flows in Higher Dimensions
- A Program for Dynamical Systems Theory
Suitable at the present time for analyzing "strange attractors" that can be embedded in three-dimensional spaces, this groundbreaking approach offers researchers and practitioners in the discipline a complete and satisfying resolution to the fundamental questions of chaotic systems.

This thesis is an historical analysis of the Union artillery at the
Battle of Gettysburg. It examines the significance of the Union
artillery's contribution to the Federal victory. This study
explores all aspects of the tactical employment of the Union
artillery on the first and last days of the battle. A brief
description of the evolution of artillery organization in the Army
of the Potomac prior to the battle of Gettysburg is included. This
is followed by the chronological presentation of the tactical
employment of artillery during the battle. First its employment in
the meeting engagement on 1 July is examined, followed by a study
of its use on the final and decisive third day when Union forces
fought a set-piece defensive battle. Among the conclusions arrived
at during the course of this study are these: that the Army of the
Potomac's corps artillery brigades and army artillery reserve
proved to be responsive and efficient organizations in fulfilling
their fire support mission, and when coupled with the skillful use
of artillery and aggressive leadership by the army's
Chief-of-Artillery, Brigadier General Hunt, were crucial to the
successful employment of the Union artillery forces. This study
concludes that the Union artillery under the command of Brigadier
General Henry Hunt had a decided and positive influence on the
Federal victory by successfully employing its corps artillery
brigades and army artillery reserve as part of a combined arms
force.
