Sommario/riassunto |
|
This atlas presents anatomical descriptions of the xylem, bark and pith of 264 species belonging to 69 families. It highlights the anatomical diversity of trees, shrubs, dwarf shrubs, woody lianas and several of the prominent perennial herbs from the Eastern Mediterranean region, with a focus on the island of Cyprus. The island’s topography and biogeographic history combine to provide a wide range of habitats and diverse flora including widespread, endemic, and ornamental species. The monograph for each species includes a description of the anatomical structures of the stem and twig xylem and the twig’s bark and pith, as well as color micrographs of double-stained sections of each of these plant parts. These entries are accompanied by a photograph and a brief description of the plant including stem wood density, height, habit, flower, leaf and fruit characteristics, and a map showing its geographic and altitudinal distribution in the region. Xylem descriptions follow the IAWA lists of microscopic features for hardwood |

and softwood identification. For bark and pith descriptions, a new coding system developed by the authors is applied. Lastly, the atlas offers a key for wood identification that was developed to differentiate between groups of species by using a small number of features that are unambiguous and clearly visible. The atlas will be a valuable guide for botanists, ecologists, foresters, archeologists, horticulturists and paleobotanists. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is devoted to the most general governing equations of the fluid mechanics, namely the Navier-Stokes equations and their derivatives. These equations are presented in various manners: for several coordinate systems, for laminar and turbulent flows, for different thermodynamic states of gases, in dimensional and non-dimensional forms, and in an incompressible situation. All that is valid also for the different versions of the Navier-Stokes equations, where appropriate. The only way to solve the fluid dynamic equations for complex three-dimensional problems consists in the use of numerical integration methods. To deal with this request it is very helpful to formulate the complete set of governing equations in vector or vector-matrix form. This is true also for two equations turbulence models as well as for the description of non-equilibrium effects of thermodynamics. These requirements are fully addressed in this book. Graduate and doctoral students, who are concerned with the numerical solutions of the fluid dynamic equations for specific problems, may find in this book the suggestions regarding the degree of approximation which could be adequate for the task they consider. Further, persons who are interested in the evolution of the mathematical description of fluid dynamic issues, both from the scientific and also the historical side, may discover suggestions, advices and motivations in this book. |
