For advanced students, this book establishes a path from the study of phase transitions to the current understanding of living matter. It explores concepts from statistical mechanics, non-linear systems, chaos and self-organization drawn from physics, chemistry and biology.
Explore magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as powerful adsorbents for purifying water. This book provides an in-depth overview of MNP synthesis, properties, and applications in removing heavy metals and organic pollutants, enhancing water quality for environmental and human health.
This book provides a unifying framework for linear models in scientific data analysis. Unlike other texts, it uses a non-least squares approach. This allows for more complex models and simplifies proofs, making the theory easier to read and apply.
A Political History of Post-WWII Architecture in Europe
Has architecture lost the connection to public and private life? This book explores architecture from a political perspective, examining how it has mirrored political developments in Europe since the Second World War to reveal the meanings generated from this relationship.
Go on a mathematical adventure that challenges you to think about the “why,” not just the “how.” Featuring relatable characters and real-world problems, this book brings complex topics to life. A fun and engaging read that trains your mind to think mathematically.
The Finance Sector and Climate Change
While fossil fuel interests are blamed for thwarting climate policy, this book shows the financial sector’s influence is greater. It funds a ‘climate crisis’ narrative to serve its investments in renewables, imposing restrictions that harm the developing world, as revealed here.
How can tourism benefit a country inclusively and responsibly? Prominent scholars explore sustainable tourism development in Tanzania, focusing on local food linkages and responsible practices. A valuable source for the tourism industry, policymakers, scholars, and students.
Mainframe Computer Systems
This volume describes General Electric’s venture into mainframe computers. GE pioneered commercial timesharing, and its hardware was used to develop the BASIC language and the influential Multics system. Unable to compete with IBM, GE sold its computer division to Honeywell.
This book details an innovative finite element (FE) formulation for post-tensioned (PT) concrete. It provides MATLAB code to simulate bonded, unbonded, or partially bonded tendons, including sliding, friction, and anchor seating loss, with reduced computational power.
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
Disasters are not always acts of nature. This book opens a new field in disaster research: those caused by mankind. From industrial accidents to political corruption, it explores our vulnerability, resilience, and introduces the new concept of disaster sustainability.
Cyclic and Noncyclic Organic Compounds
This textbook covers the main classes of organic compounds, their structure, properties, and preparation. It connects theoretical concepts like stereochemistry, kinetics, and thermodynamics with modern methods of synthesis and analysis. For university students of chemistry.
This book provides insights into the dynamics of control systems, highlighting the first-time use of Morse theory to describe global dynamics. It is an accessible source of definitions, examples, theorems, and open questions for students, researchers, and professionals.
Simulation and Modeling of Emerging Devices
This book covers the principles, modelling, fabrication, and applications of TFETs and FinFETs. A reference for students, researchers, and device engineers, it details simulation aspects and technological developments, assuming a background in semiconductor device physics.
This book opens the door to understanding the principles of combustion calculations. It integrates combustion with the open-source software Cantera, serving as an invaluable primer. This hands-on guide offers step-by-step examples for students, engineers, and researchers.
As new discoveries transform our view of the universe, this book focuses on the core questions: Is any living organism only the result of programming? What of the human being? Are we a robot participating in the living world or a consciousness in a biological habitat?
A self-study guide to Solid State Physics for students of Physics, Engineering, and Materials Science. It contains carefully selected problems and detailed solutions, with core concepts presented concisely and with minimal math to help you master problem-solving.
Space Systems Architecture for Resource Utilization
