Such a situation can result in erroneous calculation for the depth of refractors; this can be caused by a layer of lower velocity lying beneath a layer of higher velocity.http://velocityinversion.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Lady Monchhichi)Blogger232125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315329539323202985.post-6565393436474416328Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:56:00 +00002009-07-09T08:11:59.936-07:00As a geophysicist I work with electromagnetism as a part of my everyday job. One of my favorite functions of my profession is taking time out to discuss the physics of electromagnetic (EM) waves. Scientists refer to EM-waves by another name, electromagnetic radiation.

The word layoff's has not crossed any official lips, but is still on everyone's mind. I looked for other positions, and even found a few in my area, but thought "Is this place any better then the one I am leaving?" "Do I really want to be a new hire in this economy?"

In the early 1900's up to 1950 it was a bordello...or more simply a whorehouse. I wanted to eat there because of this. We arrived, the food was great and the restaurant decor was lovely. However, during our meal two guys who were sitting at the bar kept staring our direction.

Whether the flow is laminar, turbulent or Stokes is often decided by the flows Reynolds Number. This number is dimensionless and is the measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.
