 Recreations in the Theory of NumbersWHILE the author was a student, an enthusiastic mathematics professor recommended to the class a book entitled Mathematical Recreations and Essays, by W. W. R. Ball. The students dutifully made a note of the title and most of them no doubt promptly forgot about it. Many years later when the book was mentioned to several of the author's own classes,... | | Field Confirmation Testing for Suspicious SubstancesFrequently a substance found at a port of entry, waste site, laboratory triage facility, or even in a hazardous materials emergency will be labeled and purportedly identified. But law enforcement and other first responders cannot take this claim at face value, as the accuracy is not confirmed and must be verified. A comprehensive handbook for... | | Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice (Corrosion Technology)Corrosion is a major issue for the increase of service life and reliability of metallic materials. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms of corrosion helps us to solve existing corrosion problems and to prevent future problems.
The aim of this book is to review recent advances in the understanding of corrosion and protection... |

Understanding Surveillance Technologies: Spy Devices, Their Origins & ApplicationsThis is the first comprehensive text to cover this fascinating field from origins to present-day practices. Secret agents are no longer the only people using spycams, radio beacons, and tiny audio listening devices called 'bugs.' Spy devices are now an important part of almost every investigation, office environment, phone system, traffic... | | Strained Hydrocarbons: Beyond the van't Hoff and Le Bel HypothesisIn clearly structured chapters, this book covers the fascinating world of hydrocarbons, providing an insight into the fundamental principles of chemistry. The monograph covers modern aspects of the topic, such as carbon nanotubes, molecular flask inclusion, and fullerenes, with new synthetic procedures for the build up of the structural lattice... | | Renewable Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global ChallengeAs energy demands continue to surge worldwide, the need for more efficient and environmentally neutral energy production also becomes increasingly apparent. Renewable Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global Challenge presents a well-rounded perspective on the development of bio-based feedstocks, biodegradable plastics, hydrogen... |

| | | | Rare Event Simulation using Monte Carlo MethodsIn a probabilistic model, a rare event is an event with a very small probability of occurrence. The forecasting of rare events is a formidable task but is important in many areas. For instance a catastrophic failure in a transport system or in a nuclear power plant, the failure of an information processing system in a bank, or in the communication... |
