PLEEZ HELP??????
ps — are the black lines fault lines???

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not itself a fault, but the ridge straddles the Mid-Atlantic Rift, which is a “normal fault”. And the Atlantic Ocean floor is spreading wider along the rift, at less than an inch per-year in most places.

On the map you are looking at, the jagged black line running north and south is the series of rift faults, where the spreading takes place. The other black lines (criss-crossing that ‘spine’ of spreading) are “transverse faults” (a strike-slip fault associated with rifts) , where the two sides slide sideways as the rift faults spread out.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The USGS DEM standard is a geospatial file format developed by the United States Geological Survey for storing a rasterbased digital elevation model. It is an open standard, and is used throughout the world. It has been superseded by the USGSs own SDTS format but the format remains popular due to large numbers of legacy files, selfcontainment, relatively simple field structure and broad, mature software support. The USGS DEM format is a selfcontained (single file) set of ASCIIencoded (text) 1024byte blocks that fall into three record categories called A, B, and C. There is no crossplatform ambiguity since line ending control codes are not used, and all data including numbers is represented in readable text form. There is no known binary analogue of the format, although it is common practice to compress the files with gzip. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Fault Lines and Battle Lines: The Causes of Civil War.


Fault Lines and Battle Lines: The Causes of Civil War.


$115.71


Within the generally underresearched topic of civil war, research on the question of the causes of civil war is in a state of confusion. This is due primarily to the persistence of a false dichotomy between material and socialpsychological theories, as well as to a tendency to overemphasize the role of manipulative political elites. Recent attempts to quantify the causes of civil war have proceeded without first addressing the need for a coherent theory, leading to counterintuitive and misleading findings. This dissertation provides a comprehensive, globalized theory of the causes of civil war, which addresses three questions. First, the socialstructural question addresses how an identity fault line takes on the potential to be the division along which a civil war is mobilized. The sociological theory of overlapping vs. crosscutting social cleavages captures the interaction of material and socialpsychological variables, with the former situation raising the likelihood of civil war, while the latter mitigates that likelihood. Second, catalyst variables address the question of why this potential breaks out into civil war at a particular point in time, focusing on the riskaugmenting or riskmitigating effects of economic growth vs. decline, regime stability vs. change, compromising vs. divisive elites, and recent episodes of violence. Third, the question of whether the extent of violence is sufficient to be defined as a civil war centers on the distribution of military capacity between government and rebel forces and the question of government involvement and restraint. This theory is illustrated through cases of civil war in Yugoslavia and Ivory Coast, and through cases of nonoccurrence in Haiti and in Indias HinduMuslim relations. Implications for research and policy are also discussed.

System Fault Tolerance


$93.99


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles System Fault Tolerance (SFT) is a fault tolerant system built into Netware operating systems. There are three levels of fault tolerance: SFT I Hot Fix maps out bad disk blocks on the file system level to help ensure data integrity (fault tolerance on disk block level) SFT II is a disk mirroring or duplexing system based on RAID 1; mirroring refers to two disk drives holding the same data, duplexing uses two data channels/controllers to connect the disks (fault tolerance on disk and optionally data channel level). SFT III is a server duplexing scheme where if a server fails, a constantly synchronized server seamlessly takes its place (fault tolerance on system level).
