This open access book is the first of two volumes that integrates a study of direct encounters with Primary Forces of Nature, Wind, Light, Rain, Heat and Cold, Water, etc., with imaginative narrative forms of communication. The approach developed in this book shows how the growth of cognitive tools (first of mythic and then of romantic forms of understanding) lets children make sense of experie…
The design of hybrid materials that can be manipulated by magnetic fields is possibleby incorporating inorganic magnetic nanoobjects into complex soft matrices such asgels [1], elastomers [2], liquid crystals [3], or biologicalfluids [4] in a predeterminedway. A proper setup allows the application of external magneticfields to either analyzeor alter the material properties of such systems on a …
The Diffusion Hydrodynamic Model (DHM), as presented in the 1987 USGS publication, was one of the first computational fluid dynamics computational programs based on the groundwater program MODFLOW, which evolved into the control volume modeling approach. Over the following decades, others developed similar computational programs that either used the methodology and approaches presented in the D…
