Lee (Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1962). * (1912). The oldest account of mirages seems to be Aristotle's brief * mention in the "Meteorologica" (c. 340 or 350 BC) at 373 b in Book III * (p.253 of the Loeb Library edition): * "Distant and dense air does of course normally act as a mirror . . . , * which is why when there is an east wind promontories on the sea appear * to be elevated above it and everything appears abnormally large;. . . " * but unfortunately he then drags in the Moon illusion. * So both MIRAGE and LOOMING were known to him. * As Lee notes there, a similar (but much briefer) mention occurs in * "Problems" XXVI. 53: "Why, when the east wind blows, do all the things * seem larger?"

He joined HM Nautical Almanac Office in 1926, becoming superintendent (1930-36). There, he revolutionized the computing methods by installing desk calculators and punched card machines originally made for accounting. Further, he implemented efficient numerical methods for use with these mechanical computing aids. He left there to found the Scientific Computing Service Ltd., the first commercial calculating service in Great Britain, where he was more free to apply his ideas of mechanical computation for the preparation of mathematical tables. Using card processing systems he prepared the way for the electronic computer. Louis-Victor de Broglie (source) Born 15 Aug 1892; died 19 Mar 1987.

German anthropologist was a Roman Catholic priest whose research focussed on the origin of the idea of God and religion within various cultures, trying to link what emerged from ethnological studies with what is stated in the Bible. Schmidt proposed theories on the effect of environment in the evolution of families. He extensively studied ethnography particularly “culture circles,” a series of four main stages that the base cultures of this world went through: Primitive (hunter-gatherer), Primary (horticulturists), Secondary (pastoralists) and lastly Tertiary (modern society). Others had proposed such a theory earlier, but Schmidt's work increased its popularity and acceptance.

This dedication copy was lavishly bound for the Count de Maurepas, Louis XV’s Minister of the Marine. “Bouguer’s achievement was to see that the eye could be used, not as a meter but as a null indicator, i.e., to establish the equality of brightness of two adjacent surfaces.... In the latter part of the Essai , Bouguer published the second of his great optical discoveries, often called Bouguer’s law: in a medium of uniform transparency the light remaining in a collimated beam is an exponential function of the length of its path in the medium. This law was restated by J.H. Lambert in his Photometria (l760) and, perhaps, because of the great rarity of copies of Bouguer’s

A B C D E F G ... I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Analytic Signal Method The analytic signal method, known also as the total gradient method, as defined here produces a particular type of calculated gravity or magnetic anomaly enhancement map used for defining in a map sense the edges (boundaries) of geologically anomalous density or magnetization distributions. In exploration potential field applications, the term analytic signal loosely refers to the calculated modulus of the gravity or magnetic anomaly field's three mutually orthogonal spatial (x, y, z) derivative terms. Mapped maxima (ridges and peaks) in the calculated analytic signal of a gravity or magnetic anomaly map locate the anomalous source body edges and corners (e.g., basement fault block boundaries, basement lithology contacts, fault/shear zones, igneous and salt diapirs, etc.). Analytic signal maxima have the useful property that they occur directly over faults and contacts, regardless of structural dip which may be present, and independent of the direction of the induced and/or remanent body magnetizations. Various extensions to the analytic signal method (as defined here) exist. For example, some extensions to the method include as an additional solved parameter the anomalous source body depth(s).

(HERSCHEL) Convener: Richard Phillips FRAS, The Herschel Society. Michael Knowles, BRLSI Member, on 3 January 2003 The ellipsoidal era began with Newton and Huygens. Triangulation conceived by Tycho Brahe in the 16th century was developed into a science and used to measure arcs by Willebrord van Roijen Snell in the 17th century. In 1724 the French Royal Academy of Sciences sent the astronomer Louis Feulliee to Ferro to determine the difference in longitude between Orchilla and the Paris Observatory. Dedicated to resolving the question of the form of the Earth, the Academy of Sciences sent Pierre Bouguer and Charles-Marie de La Condamine to Peru in 1735 to measure a degree on the prime meridian at the Equator and in 1736 a second expedition went to Lapland, led by Pierre- Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, to measure one degree on the meridian near the North Pole. In 1745 Cassini III published the first surveyed map of France, revealing that the land area was about 10 per cent greater than had been thought previously. The Jacobite rebellion of 1745 showed the need for a military map of the United Kingdom and by order of George III an initial survey covered SE England to Hastings and Dover. Before taking measurements to France, a check-base was set up on Romney Marsh, West of Dymchurch, of approximately 30,000 feet. The error of the value calculated by triangulation from Hounslow Heath baseline was alleged to be 1 foot (33 p.p.m.).
