IODP New Ventures in Exploring Scientific Targets (INVEST): Defining the New Goals of an International Drilling Program

new semigroup compactifications via the enveloping semigroups of associated flows

this thesis deals with the construction of some function algebras whose corresponding semigroup compactification are universal with respect to some properies of their enveloping semigroups. the special properties are of beigan a left zero, a left simple, a group, an inflation of the right zero, and an inflation of the rectangular band.

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

Drilling Program: SHIPBOARD SCIENTIFIC PARTY

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 199, “The Paleogene Equatorial Transect” (Sites 1215 through 1222), was designed to study the evolution of the equatorial Pacific current and wind system as the Earth went from maximum Cenozoic warmth to initial Antarctic glaciations. The drilling program was primarily devoted to a transect along 56to 57-Ma crust, old enough to capture the Paleocene/ Eocene boun...

Drilling Program: SHIPBOARD SCIENTIFIC PARTY

The bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor chain is the best example of a change in plate motion recorded in a fixed-hotspot frame of reference. Alternatively, the bend might primarily record differences in motion of the Hawaiian hotspot relative to the Pacific lithosphere. Four lines of inquiry support the latter view: (1) global plate motions predicted from relative plate motion data, (2) spreading rat...
