The Mystery of Ball Lightning Revealed
This book explores a new phenomenon: self-confined circulating light. It explains the paradox of ball lightning and microworld anomalies, and shows how nuclear energy can be extracted from ordinary water. Based on over 80 published scientific articles.
This book presents mathematical models of thermal stresses, strengthening, and crack formation in two-component materials like composites and dual-phase steel. Suitable for research, engineering, university courses, and non-specialists, with a helpful mathematical appendix.
Satellite images often suffer from interpretability issues and lost details due to sensor limitations. This book exploits deep learning to boost minute details and improve classification, showing how super-resolution improves spatial detail for precise decision-making.
This book presents basic results in functional and classical analysis, emphasizing convexity, optimization, and operator theory. It reveals the connection between linear and convex operators and establishes their relationship with other fields of mathematics and physics.
Construction projects require engineers, surveyors, and contractors to interact effectively to ensure a project is built precisely. The knowledge of basic words, concepts, and methods used by surveyors will greatly help engineers during this interaction.
Microbes play a vital role in making the earth sustainable. Omnipresent in nature, they inhabit extreme conditions and are essential for human existence, from food fermentation to medicine. This volume highlights the importance of microbial biodiversity to society.
Weak chemical interactions, i.e., hydrogen and halogen bonds, control the structure of molecular crystals. This book uses vibrational (Raman) spectra to describe their properties and nature, for students and scientists in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutics research.
Urban Histories in Practice
What is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city? This volume explores this question in contexts of rapid urbanization and urban decline. Using critical and creative methods, the authors frame urban history not as theory, but as a call for action.
This guide explores cache coherency in multicore systems, from key protocols to the design of a scalable fabric for the RISC-V architecture. Leveraging detailed simulations, the book rigorously examines the fabric’s ability to maintain memory consistency across multiple cores.
Green Tribology
Green tribology is a new field addressing global environmental and energy crises. This is the only academic monograph in the world which systematically validates the principles and practice of green tribology, featuring the author’s new concept of natural disaster tribology.
Explore the wave and vibration equation, emphasizing singular solutions and physical content. This book covers applications from tsunamis and storm breakers to the ringing of bells and collapsing towers. For students, researchers, and engineers in physics and applied mathematics.
This textbook explains the physical processes governing the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Designed for undergraduates, the theory is developed from first principles, covering planetary dynamics, magnetic fields, and the fluid dynamics of circumstellar disks.
Occupational Injuries and Workplace Risks
Occupational injuries cause immense human suffering and economic loss. This book explores what makes workers vulnerable, from age and shift work to risks in industries like construction and fishing, while also touching on recent trends like climate change.
Public disbelief slows the development of nuclear power. This can be overcome by creating reactors with inherent self-protection, where the causes of severe accidents are excluded by the laws of nature. This book collects reports from Russian specialists on such reactors.
Astronomy for Cloudy Nights
Educational, humorous essays connecting astronomy to the arts—from literature to pop music. Autobiographical in places, it shares breathtaking stories of telescope observing around the world, from a childhood discovery to the high altitude of the Bolivian Andes.
This book covers Pulsed-Electrochemical Honing (PECH), a hybrid finishing process for intricate components like gears. It details the fundamentals, parameters for finishing straight bevel gears, and recent developments in tools, technologies, controls, and operations.
For students of statistics, mathematics, and engineering, this book provides the concepts and methods of linear and integer programming. It presents formulations of diverse problems and solutions to numerical examples, making the subject matter easier to comprehend.
This textbook is a unique treatise on the present status of particle physics summarised for physics students at an introductory level: it provides insights into essential experimental and theoretical techniques and will gradually deepen the reader’s understanding of the field.
Intelligent Systems in Buildings
This book explores how intelligent systems can enhance the performance of the traditional courtyard house. It identifies key features of these homes and shows how knowledge of intelligent systems is crucial to fulfilling occupants’ needs.
