  UNC-CH Department of History - The Global History Ph.D.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
By its nature global history would appear to be both potentially comprehensive in its scope and specifically local in its analysis of a theme, problem or issue that transcends the regional, the national and the civilizational contexts.
Problem or issue-oriented, global history in the elegance of its selectivity and of its analysis differs from world history, which is essentially narrative and descriptive in its aggregative effort to deal as a compendium with the totality of the past.
Thus global history intrinsically has the capacity to examine common issues which heretofore have been treated in the parochial context of a region or nation or at best comparatively and are now examined in a more interconnected and comprehensive perspective.

 Graduate Program of History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The purpose of choosing a field in global history is to study the history of major world regions through a comparative or interactive perspective.
Students declaring a global history field (either primary or secondary) will work out a plan of study with the appropriate department faculty and will submit this plan to a committee of three faculty members active in global history for approval.
Students taking global history as their primary field will be required to submit to the committee their proposed research topic and examiners for approval.

 Global Field -- from Wolfram MathWorld
From a modern point of view, a global field may refer to a function field on a complex algebraic curve as well as one over a finite field.
A global field contains a canonical subring, either the algebraic integers or the polynomials.
A global field is called global because of the special case of a complex algebraic curve, for which the field consists of global functions (i.e., functions that are defined everywhere).

 About FIELD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Moreover, all the information contained in FIELD is classified according to a classification matrix, which has been designed with the objective to facilitate the identification of relevant data from external sources, and its subsequent codification and retrieval by the FIELD users.
The rationale behind the Global Mechanism's endeavour to collect and disseminate information is to ensure a rational use of existing resources for the implementation of the UNCCD, to identify gaps in resource flows, and to facilitate implementation of the action programmes.
FIELD is intended to provide valuable background information to the policy dialogue between affected developing countries and their development partners.

 Magnetic Fields and Mars
So the chef's "magnetic field," as it were, extends to the living room, but not to the second floor of the house.
Magnetic fields, though they can get pushed around (as we'll see later), keep their currents, and thereby their magnetism, in set places called magnetic field lines, running out of the south pole of the magnet and into the north pole.
Because some of the fluid is moving in the magnetic field and some is not, and because a couple of other necessary conditions in the core are satisfied, an electric current starts up as per the laws of physics.

 UNC-CH Department of History - Global History Field   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Those doing global history attempt to see these and related developments from a planetary perspective, applying historical insights to diverse peoples and cultures in ways not possible from the vantage point of established regional and national history.
Because global history involves studying processes that have an impact beyond a single nation or region, students may take courses with faculty specializing in several different areas.
A Global History Group, consisting of both faculty and graduate students, administers the field and sponsors speakers and discussions.

 Gauss and the Global Magnetic Field
Such replacement yields weaker fields on the surface, and meanwhile the dominant "dipole" pattern may (sometimes) reverse, later growing again to dominate the pattern but (possibly) with the main magnetic poles reversed.
In the mathematical description of magnetic fields, the magnetic flux through some given area is an important concept.
If you had done the same with areas where field lines exit from the core, it can be shown that you would have got the same result, but with minus sign, denoting flux leaving instead of entering.

 Global Field -- from MathWorld
A global field is either a number field, a function field on an algebraic curve, or an extension of transcendence degree one over a finite field.

For example, the rational numbers are a global field.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Global Studies, Universal Bias by Robert David Johnson
A sense of what a typical “Global Studies” class entails comes in a “capstone” course at California State University-Monterey Bay, which established one of the nation’s first “Global Studies” departments, in 1995.
The “intent of this course,” Professor Robina Bhatti states, “is that a better understanding of global political economy will lead to an improvement in the rationality and justice of our everyday life.” Students’ grades are based on the professor’s “measurements” of their progress in achieving this goal.
Instead, “Global Studies” programs assume that there can be only one path to generating “socially responsible behavior at both the local and global level”—the left-wing political agenda championed by “Global Studies” faculty, who are, as the St. Lawrence model indicates, chosen after passing ideological litmus tests.

 Fertile Field: The Global Interfaith Movement
Amongst the workshops, discussions, and plenary sessions, a Declaration Toward a Global Ethic was circulated.

The inspiration of and common legacy with the Declaration Towards a Global Ethic are quite clear.

 Global field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the function field of an algebraic curve over a finite field, i.e., a finitely generated field of characteristic p>0 of transcendence degree 1.
The more strict analogy expressed by the 'global field' idea, in which a Riemann surface's aspect as algebraic curve is mapped to curves defined over a finite field, was built up during the 1930s, culminating in the Riemann hypothesis for local zeta-functions settled by André Weil in 1940.

A field of either type has the property that all of its completions are locally compact fields (see local fields).
Every field of either type can be realized as the field of fractions of a Dedekind domain in which every non-zero ideal is of finite index.
