Hausdorff Dimension, Its Properties, and Its Surprises
1. INTRODUCTION. The concept of dimension has many aspects and meanings within mathematics, and there are a number of very different definitions of what the dimension of a set should be. The simplest case is that of R d : in order to distinguish points in R d , we need d different (real) coordinates, so R d has dimension d as a (real) vector space. Similarly, a d-dimensional manifold is a space...

Inner core rotation and its variability from nonparametric modeling
[1] We present a new approach for studying the inner core rotation and its variability by separating the underlying structure from its time evolution. This is achieved by fitting a large set of existing seismic BC‐DF traveltime data with a smoothing spline analysis, which is implemented in the statistics package R. This method allows us to separate the time‐independent mantle contribution from ...
متن کاملThe inner inner core of Earth.
T solid inner core (Fig. 1) is the most remote and enigmatic part of our planet, and, next to the crust, is the smallest ‘‘official’’ subdivision of Earth’s interior. It was discovered in 1936 (1), and by 1972 it was established that it was solid, albeit with a very small rigidity (2–4). By 1993 it had been established that it was crystalline (5). The inner core is isolated from the rest of Ear...
متن کاملA roadmap for the detection and characterization of other Earths.
The European Space Agency and other space agencies such as NASA recognize that the question with regard to life beyond Earth in general, and the associated issue of the existence and study of exoplanets in particular, is of paramount importance for the 21(st) century. The new Cosmic Vision science plan, Cosmic Vision 2015-2025, which is built around four major themes, has as its first theme: "W...
