The analytical study of gravity waves of finite height which are periodic and move without change in shape in an ideal irrotational fluid is a subject which has occupied the attention of physicists and mathematicians ever since Stokes published his classic paper entitled “On the Theory of Oscillatory Waves” in 1847.
This volume, volume IX of Masalah-masalah Iniernasional Masa- kini, contains five articles giving an Asian — or better a Southeast Asian perspective on Asian political developments. The first article written by Dr. Pensri Duke of Chulalongkorn University, deals with the big power rivalry and interest underlying Thai-German relations at the end of the last century until the begin ning of…
The growing interest in the intensity of light beneath the surface of the ocean from both the physical and the biological points of view has resulted in further efforts to obtain reliable measurements under widely differing conditions and in a variety of locations. For the most part, however, these measurements have been made in northern waters and have been confined largely to coastal regions.…
Kumpulan ini merupakan volume 8 dari sen ’’Masalah-Masalah Internasional Masakini” yang diterbitkan oleh Lembaga Research Kebudayaan Nasional/LIPI dalam rangka tugasnya mengembangkan pengertian yang lebih mendalam di dalam masyarakat kita tentang studi internasional dan studi wilayah.
In the course of studying several seasons statistics on the age composition of the commercial catch of the Pacific sardine (Sardinops cacrulea) have found what appears to be a fairly indicative measure of year-class strength in the total number of three-year-old fish caught by commercial fishermen in all Pacific Coast ports of United States and Canada.
The present paper contains the results of a study of the Paguridae of the Snellius Expedition, with the exception of the larger part of the Pagurinae, which until now I was unable to identify with sufficient accuracy.
With the recent progress of oceanography and the accumulation of data regarding the biological and chemical conditions of ocean water many oceanographers have become interested in correlations which relate to organic production and chemical cycles in the sea (Redfield, 1934; Seiwell, 1935; Harvey, et al, 1935; Fleming, 1940; Riley, 1941b). Since such studies require an accurate knowledge of con…
This volume, volume VII of Masalah-Masalah Internasional Masakini, contained five articles on the “Chinese Problem” that are all written by Southeast Asian scholars, to wit : two Malaysian and two Indonesian. It seems to us that the views of Southeast Asian scholars should be given due consideration, particularly if they happen to have a direct or an indirect impact on the handling of …
The deep-sea circulation of the Atlantic has recently been carefully analyzed by Wiist (1935) who, on the basis of the tongue-like distribution of temperature and salinity, has drawn conclusions as to the direction of flow at different depths. lie considers that an exchange of deep water be tween the North Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic Ocean is maintained by a How to the north along the…
Ocean water is a complex solution of many ions. The concentration of this solution varies considerably from place to place but it has been repeatedly shown that the relative concentration of the ions to each other is remarkably constant.
