The Internet generates a vast, unstructured body of ‘grass-roots’ fictions. This collection explores this uncharted territory, bringing together expertise from linguistic, literary, media and cultural studies for passionate discussions of Internet Fictions.
The dominant theory of plate tectonics fails to fully explain continental deformation. This book explores intracontinental tectonics, classifying orogeny and proposing that global tectonics is a combination of transcontinental, plate, and intracontinental tectonics.
This easy-to-follow guide provides the necessary steps in discretizing continuous systems. It covers sampling, reconstruction, stability analysis, and the synthesis of digital controllers, including a practical guide to PID speed control of a DC motor using an Arduino card.
Learn the fundamentals of the Finite Element (FE) method in structural mechanics. This book teaches you to develop FE models, analyze systems statically and dynamically, and convert real-world problems into practical applications using the included MATLAB codes.
This book covers special and general relativity, tensor calculus, Einstein’s field equations, and cosmological models. It also provides a lucid introduction to alternative theories of gravitation. Including examples and exercises, it is an asset for every student and researcher.
This book derives fluid-dynamic balance equations from a molecular perspective. It shows how Euler equations are obtained in equilibrium and the Navier-Stokes equations in non-equilibrium, linking their validity to small perturbations of the Maxwell distribution.
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.
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.
This introductory physics course is for first-year engineering students. Based on the authors’ teaching experiences, it covers classical mechanics, oscillation, radiation, thermodynamics, and fluidics to ease the transition for students who struggle with the topic.
Ion Channels in Biomembranes and Their Mimics
This volume provides a unified treatment of the structure and function of ion channels, clarifying how electrophysiological and electrochemical tools are essential to understanding ion transport. It bridges the gap between biology and electrochemistry for all life scientists.
Your electricity bills have doubled for a reason. Failed state policy has put our power supply at risk. An engineer reveals the true costs of renewables and the radical solution politicians have missed.
This book examines the political role of architecture through a study of Tehran’s bazaar. Going beyond conventional discourse, it considers architecture as an event, using concepts from Foucault to analyze how it transforms individuals through the act of exchange.
It’s A Chemical World
This lab manual features 17 chemistry experiments and 14 demonstrations for a well-rounded experience. Delve into reaction types, gas properties, titrations, calorimetry, electrochemistry, and more! These well-tested exercises are suitable for regular or honors courses.
This book develops Jordan canonical form and shows how to apply it to solving systems of dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. Beginning with the diagonalizable case, it proceeds to the general case, covering all situations. For senior undergraduate and graduate students.
This volume is a selection of papers sharing knowledge on growth, new technologies, the environment, and the concept of the cognitive city. It will appeal to academics, professionals, governments, and NGOs in urban design, planning, engineering, and the social sciences.
This book brings together leading researchers and practitioners to share knowledge on growth, new technologies, and the environment. It will appeal to academics, professionals, and students in urban design, planning, architecture, and engineering.
This book presents a simplified deliberation of fractional calculus for beginners and researchers. It shows why classical Newtonian calculus fails to describe actual systems, and discusses applications of non-integer differentiation in different areas of science and engineering.
This book offers a statistical study and a dynamical approach to stellar systems. It explains and solves the closure problem for any velocity distribution, and applies these methods to describe the mixture of stellar populations in the Milky Way.
This book expands the classical theories of photoluminescence and photoconductivity with a new multicentre model. Its solutions coincide with experimental results, opening promising directions for the search for new and improved crystals for optoelectronic devices.
