Significance of the Rosslyn pillars and pillars known to have been incorporated in ANE temples

Parker-Wood, Marlene Margaret 30 November 2007 (has links)
From Ancient Near Eastern texts, the Bible and archaeological artefacts, we are able to glimpse an over arching belief in a feminine deity. During the occupation of the Temple Mount by the Knights Templars, earlier traditions were ”re-discovered” and accepted as a de facto tradition. William St Clair at the threshold of the Renaissance, mindful of the danger of heresy, was intellectually able to bring together many traditions into a broad Biblically-based theology that recognised the early Israelite traditions as the foundation of Christian belief. All this is evident in Rosslyn Chapel. / OLD TESTAMENT & ANCIENT NE / MA (BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY)

Nouveaux concepts pour les matrices de bolomètres destinées à l’exploration de l’Univers dans le domaine millimétrique / New concepts for bolometer arrays for exploring the Universe at millimeter wavelengths

Rigaut, Olivier 06 May 2014 (has links)
Depuis sa découverte en 1964, l’étude du Fond Diffus Cosmologique dans le domaine des longueurs d’ondes millimétriques est devenue un enjeu majeur de la recherche expérimentale dans le domaine de la cosmologie. En particulier, ses anisotropies en température, mesurées pour la première fois par le satellite COBE puis plus finement par l’expérience WMAP et le satellite PLANCK. L’existence prédite d’anisotropies de polarisation du Fond Diffus Cosmologique est fait actuellement parti du champ d’expérimentation privilégié de l’étude du CMB. En effet, la preuve d’existence des modes B de polarisation, signature unique des ondes gravitationnelles primordiales, fait actuellement l’objet d’une recherche expérimentale intensive par le biais notamment de l’instrument BICEP2 qui aurait détecté sa signature en 2014 dans des valeurs du rapport tenseur sur scalaire r = 0,2. Le projet QUBIC fait parti de ces expériences destinées à révéler les modes B de polarisation grâce à son instrument basé sur la technique des interféromètres et sur le développement de matrice de bolomètres, demandant un champ d’investigation poussé englobant, entre autre, la physique des solides, la physique des basses températures et la cosmologie. La thèse présentée ici se situe dans ce cadre, avec pour objectif l’élaboration d’une matrice de bolomètres dont la performance et l’optimisation devrait permettre d’acquérir la sensibilité nécessaire à l’observation des modes B de polarisation. Les différentes techniques expérimentales acquises au CSNSM d’Orsay permettent en effet d’envisager l’optimisation des éléments clé de la matrice de bolomètre en s’appuyant notamment sur l’alliage amorphe de NbxSi1-x pour l’élaboration d’un senseur thermique optimisé, et sur un matériau novateur, l’alliage de titane-vanadium, pour la mise au point d’un absorbeur de rayonnement supraconducteur efficace, dont la faible chaleur spécifique doit permettre d’atteindre un temps de réponse du détecteur de l’ordre de la dizaine de milliseconde, valeur du temps de réponse nécessaire à une lecture efficace du signal du Fond Diffus Cosmologique. Le manuscrit de thèse ici présent a pour ambition de développer les principes physiques nécessaires au champ d’investigation du travail à accomplir. Ainsi, cette étude propose d’élaborer les différents éléments d’un bolomètre, réunissant un senseur thermique optimisé ainsi qu’un absorbeur de rayonnement de faible chaleur spécifique, permettant d’envisager la mise au point d’une matrice de bolomètres optimisée dans le cadre du projet QUBIC dont la campagne d’observation est prévue courant 2015 au dôme C du pôle Sud. / Since its discovery in 1964, the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) in the field as of millimetre-length wavelengths became a major stake of experimental research in the field of cosmology. In particular, its anisotropies in temperature, measured for the first time by satellite COBE then more finely by the experiment WMAP and the PLANCK satellite. The predicted existence of anisotropies of polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background is currently been part of the privileged field of experimentation of the study of the CMB. Indeed, the proof of exists modes B of polarization, single signature of the paramount gravitational waves, currently is the object of an intensive experimental research by the means in particular of the instrument BICEP2 which would have detected its signature in 2014 in values of the tensor report on scalar R = 0.2. Project QUBIC makes party of these experiments intended to reveal the modes B of polarization thanks to its instrument based on the technique of the interferometers and the development of bolometers array, asking for a thorough field of investigation including, amongst other things, the solid state physics, the physics of the low temperatures and cosmology. The thesis presented here is within this framework, with for objective making of a bolometers array whose performance and optimization should make it possible to acquire the necessary sensitivity to the observation of the B-mode polarization. The various experimental techniques acquired with the CSNSM of Orsay indeed make it possible to consider the optimization of the key elements of the bolometers array while being pressed in particular on amorphous alloy of NbxSi1-x for making of an optimized thermal sensor, and on an innovative material, titanium-vanadium alloy, for the clarification of an effective superconducting absorber of radiation, whose low specific heat must make it possible to reach a response time of the detector about ten millisecond, value of the response time necessary to an effective reading of the signal of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The manuscript of thesis here present has as an ambition to develop the physical principles necessary to the field of investigation of work to be achieved. Thus, this study proposes to work out the various elements of a bolometer, joining together a thermal sensor optimized as well as an absorber of radiation of low specific heat, making it possible to consider the clarification of a bolometers array optimized within the framework of the project QUBIC whose observation campaign is envisaged during 2015 with the dome C of the south pole.

Modélisation du bilan de masse en surface de la calotte glaciaire antarctique

Gential, Luc 12 July 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Le bilan de masse en surface (noté BMS ; l'accumulation de neige diminuée de l'ablation) de la calotte glaciaire antarctique est sensible aux paramètres climatiques et contribue directement aux variations du niveau moyen des mers. Il est donc important, dans le cadre de la prévision du changement climatique, de développer des outils capables de simuler les processus physiques régissant le bilan de masse en surface antarctique. L'approche développée dans cette thèse consiste à utiliser une cascade de modèles atmosphériques allant de la grande échelle vers l'échelle locale. Ainsi, un modèle climatique régional (Modèle atmosphérique régional, MAR), forcé par des réanalyses du Centre européen pour les prévisions météorologiques à moyen terme (CEPMMT), fournit à un modèle diagnostique de désagrégation physique des précipitations les champs météorologiques nécessaires calculés à l'échelle régionale (typiquement, de résolution 40 km). Dans un premier temps, il est montré que le bilan de masse en surface généré par le MAR est conforme aux observations dans la plupart des régions. Toutefois, le ruissellement est surestimé ; ce problème disparaît en introduisant une dépendance de l'albédo avec la distance zénithale de l'astre solaire. Dans un second temps, il est montré que malgré la relative simplicité des paramétrisations physiques du désagrégateur, la connaissance du relief de fine échelle (de résolution 5 km) permet d'améliorer la variabilité spatiale de la précipitation, et, par conséquent, du BMS, sur les régions côtières de l'Antarctique. La validation est menée à l'aide, notamment, de mesures de hauteurs de neige délivrées par des stations météorologiques automatiques. Sur le site côtier de Law Dome, le gradient d'accumulation nette est davantage dû au forage orographique subi par la précipitation qu'au processus de chasse-neige. Le modèle de désagrégation sous-estime fortement la précipitation sur le plateau Antarctique, où les nuages stratosphériques polaires associés au refroidissement radiatif pourraient jouer un rôle dans la génération de la précipitation pendant la nuit polaire.

Fast algorithms for frequency domain wave propagation

Tsuji, Paul Hikaru 22 February 2013 (has links)
High-frequency wave phenomena is observed in many physical settings, most notably in acoustics, electromagnetics, and elasticity. In all of these fields, numerical simulation and modeling of the forward propagation problem is important to the design and analysis of many systems; a few examples which rely on these computations are the development of metamaterial technologies and geophysical prospecting for natural resources. There are two modes of modeling the forward problem: the frequency domain and the time domain. As the title states, this work is concerned with the former regime. The difficulties of solving the high-frequency wave propagation problem accurately lies in the large number of degrees of freedom required. Conventional wisdom in the computational electromagnetics commmunity suggests that about 10 degrees of freedom per wavelength be used in each coordinate direction to resolve each oscillation. If K is the width of the domain in wavelengths, the number of unknowns N grows at least by O(K^2) for surface discretizations and O(K^3) for volume discretizations in 3D. The memory requirements and asymptotic complexity estimates of direct algorithms such as the multifrontal method are too costly for such problems. Thus, iterative solvers must be used. In this dissertation, I will present fast algorithms which, in conjunction with GMRES, allow the solution of the forward problem in O(N) or O(N log N) time. / text
