Abstract

An electrostatic-wave topside sounder has been flown to study electron plasma resonances. Unique features of this sounder are the preservation of data spectra, a frequency synthesizer, and a gain-change mechanism. Preservation of the spectra provided frequency information with a resolution of a few hundred hertz by use of a fast Fourier transform while the synthesizer provided the necessary frequency stability. The gain-change mechanism provided information on the strength of the resonances. Resulting data support the electrostatic-wave echo theory of topside resonances.

Abstract

A series of negative gravity anomalies found along the southern part of the Rocky Mountain Trench in Canada is interpreted to be the effect of relatively deep basins in the trench floor. These are apparently filled with light material and are separated from each other by regions of only thin cover over bedrock of normal density. The pattern obtained is very suggestive of a system of longitudinal and transverse faults, and the gravity field is therefore consistent with the theory that the trench, in this vicinity, was produced chiefly by downfaulting.

20. The Historicity of the Patriarchal Narratives : The Quest for the Historical Abraham

Author

Thomas L. Thompson and Thomas L. Thompson

Subjects
Patriarchs (Bible)
Abstract

The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) covers all areas of research into the Old Testament, focusing on the Hebrew Bible, its early and later forms in Ancient Judaism, as well as its branching into many neighboring cultures of the Ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world. BZAW welcomes submissions that make an original and significant contribution to the field; demonstrate sophisticated　engagement with the relevant secondary literature; and are written in readable, logical, and engaging prose.
