Electronic Correlation Mapping: From Finite to Extended Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

An up-to-date selection of applications of correlation spectroscopy, in particular as far as the mapping of properties of correlated many-body systems is concerned.
The book starts with a qualitative analysis of the outcome of the two-particle correlation spectroscopy of localized and delocalized electronic systems as they occur in atoms...

Material Substructures in Complex Bodies: From Atomic Level to Continuum

Elsevier Limited, 2007

Stringent industrial requirements for sophisticated performance and circumstantial control of microdevices or nanotechnology manufacturing, and other types of machinery at multiple scales, require complex materials. The adjective 'complex' indicates that the substructure influences gross mechanical behaviour in a prominent way and interactions due...

Fat Manifolds and Linear Connections

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

The theory of connections is central not only in pure mathematics (differential and algebraic geometry), but also in mathematical and theoretical physics (general relativity, gauge fields, mechanics of continuum media). The now-standard approach to this subject was proposed by Ch. Ehresmann 60 years ago, attracting first mathematicians and...

Toward the Elimination of Cancer Disparities: Medical and Health Perspectives

Springer, 2009

The societal burden of cancer is one of the major public health challenges of our time, yet that burden is not equally shared by all. Troubling disparities have been documented not only by racial/ethnic group but also by social class, insurance status, geography, and a host of other factors. Furthermore, such disparities represent the end result of...

Biomechanical Modelling at the Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Levels (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences)

Personality Disorders in Modern Life

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

A revision of the leading textbook on personality disorders by renowned expert Theodore Millon

"Personalities are like impressionistic paintings. At a distance, each person is ‘all of a piece’; up close, each is a bewildering complexity of moods, cognitions, and motives."
–Theodore Millon

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This textbook treats solids and fluids in a balanced manner, using thermodynamic restrictions on the relation between applied forces and material responses. This unified approach can be appreciated by engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians with some background in engineering mechanics. It has many examples and about 150 exercises for...

iPhone for Work: Increasing Productivity for Busy Professionals (Books for Professionals by Professionals)

Apress, 2009

The iPhone is cool, and the iPhone is fun, but the iPhone also means serious business. For those of you who bought your iPhones to help get your lives organized and free yourselves from the ball and chain of desktop computing, iPhone at Work: Productivity for Professionals is the book to show you how.

There are plenty of...

Non-linear Modeling and Analysis of Solids and Structures

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This book presents a theoretical treatment of nonlinear behavior of solids and structures in such a way that it is suitable for numerical computation, typically using the Finite Element Method. Starting out from elementary concepts, the author systematically uses the principle of virtual work, initially illustrated by truss structures, to give a...

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on...

Philosophical Investigations on Time, Space and the Continuum (Routledge Revivals)

Routledge, 2009

Franz Brentano is recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work, first published in English in 1988, besides being an important contribution to metaphysics in its own right, has considerable historical importance through its influence on Husserl’s views on internal time...

Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering XVIII (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering)

Springer, 2009

These are the proceedings of the 18th international conference on domain decomposition methods in science and engineering, held in Jerusalem, January 12-17, 2008. Domain decomposition methods are iterative methods for solving the often very large linear or nonlinear systems of algebraic equations that arise when various problems in...
