Introduction to Plasma Physics
Introduction to Plasma Physics presents the latest on plasma physics. Although plasmas are not very present in our immediate environment, there are still universal phenomena that we encounter, i.e., electric shocks and galactic jets. This book presents, in parallel, the basics of plasma theory and a number of applications to laboratory plasmas or natural plasmas. It provides a fresh look at concepts already addressed in other disciplines, such as pressure and temperature. In addition, the information provided helps us understand the links between fluid theories, such as MHD and the kinetic theory of these media, especially in wave propagation. - Presents the different phenomena that make up plasma physics - Explains the basics of plasma theory - Helps readers comprehend the various concepts related to plasmas
Introduction à la physique des plasmas
Les plasmas sont peu présents dans notre environnement immédiat et leurs propriétés sont parfois ignorées des physiciens. Il s’agit pourtant de phénomènes universels qu’on rencontre depuis les décharges électriques jusqu’aux jets galactiques. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est d’offrir une introduction aux phénomènes variés qui constituent la physique des plasmas avec comme seul prérequis d’avoir une connaissance de la physique de base. Il présente en parallèle les fondements de la théorie des plasmas et un certain nombre d’applications aux plasmas de laboratoire ou aux plasmas naturels. Un accent particulier est mis sur l’existence des plasmas sans collision, dans lesquels le comportement collectif du milieu est dû seulement au champ électromagnétique moyen qui régit les trajectoires des particules. Ceci permet de porter un regard neuf sur des notions déjà abordées dans d’autres disciplines, mais aussi de comprendre les liens qui existent entre les théories fluides,
Nanodust in the Solar System: Discoveries and Interpretations
Nanodust and nanometer-sized structures are important components of many objects in space. Nanodust is observed in evolved stars, young stellar objects, protoplanetary disks, and dust debris disks. Within the solar system, nanodust is observed with in-situ experiments from spacecraft. Nanometer-sized substructures are found in the collected cometary and interplanetary dust particles and in meteorites. Understanding the growth and destruction of dust, its internal evolution, as well as the optical properties and the detection of nanoparticles is of fundamental importance for astrophysical research. This book provides a focused description of the current state of research and experimental results concerning nanodust in the solar system. It addresses three major questions: What is nanodust? How was it discovered in the solar system? And how do we interpret the observations? The book serves as a self-contained reference work for space researchers and provides solid information on nanodust in cosmic environments for researchers working in astrophysics or in other fields of physics.
Interactions résonantes ondes-particules dans les plasmas magnétisés
Un modèle théorique hamiltonien a été développé en 2003 par Volokitin et Krafft, dans le but de modéliser l'interaction entre les modes propres électrostatiques d'un plasma magnétisé et des flux de particules chargées se propageant dans ce plasma. Un code numérique « symplectique » a été réalisé pendant cette thèse, résolvant les équations du modèle et permettant l'intégration numérique du système avec une grande fiabilité sur de grands intervalles de temps. Ce modèle, et le code numérique associé, ont été utilisé dans le cadre de l'étude de trois problèmes physiques : (i) Nous avons montré, en nous appuyant sur l'étude des trajectoires de particules dites...

Soil Geomorphology
Provides readers with the fundamentals necessary for a basic understanding of the soil landscape. Divided into three major sections, it covers stratigraphy, geomorphology, hydrology, and the ways in which these geologic processes shape the landscape. Early chapters cover the textural characteristics of soil materials, fluvial systems, hillslope sediments and transitional environments. Later chapters explore volcanics, saprolite, the evolutionary process of landscapes, rates of denudation, streams, hillslope processes and mass movement. Included at the end of the chapters are lists of references, figures, tables and additional reading sources.
Strategies for Student Success in Higher Education

Written by a large team of experts, the text integrates a variety of multidisciplinary approaches and real-life case studies into an effective pedagogical resource for the higher education scholarly audience of both professors and administrators to address the needs of first-year students in higher education. The book includes material authored by 39 professors and professionals from more than 20 universities and higher education organizations from across the USA, Canada, the Philippines, and Germany. This book offers insights for disciplines including business administration and management, communications, counseling, education, law and governance, mental health and psychology, sociology, and others. Scholars and practitioners in a variety of higher education areas can benefit from it in terms of their work in academic success, advising, campus safety, career services, dual enrollment programs, emergency management, mathematics education, service learning, student well-being, technology management, and other areas.
Basics of the Solar Wind
The Sun continually ejects matter into space, blowing a huge bubble of supersonic plasma. This solar wind bathes the whole solar system and shapes all planetary environments. The growth of space technology has considerably increased our knowledge of this medium. This 2007 book presents an introduction to the subject, starting with basic principles and including all the latest advances from space exploration and theory. It contains a short introduction to plasma physics and discusses the structure of the solar interior and atmosphere, the production of solar wind and its perturbations. It explains the objects of the Solar System, from dust to comets and planets, and their interaction with the solar wind. The final sections explore the astrophysical point of view. The topics are treated at various levels of difficulty both qualitatively and quantitatively. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in earth and atmospheric sciences, and astrophysics.
