Layers of the Earth (The Restless Earth)

Chelsea House Publications, 2009

The Earth is made of layers, each with its own unique characteristics and processes that make it a vital part of the planet. The solid inner core, for example, is the farthest layer from the planet's surface, yet it provides much of the heat needed to fuel dramatic surface phenomena such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Likewise, the outer core...

Geolocation in iOS: Mobile Positioning and Mapping on iPhone and iPad

O'Reilly, 2012

The mobile phone—specifically the iPhone, which continues to define the state of the art for smartphones—has become the primary interface device for geographicallytagged data.

Take advantage of iPhone and iPad sensors and advanced geolocation technologies to build state-of-the-art location...

Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using MATLAB, Third Edition

CRC Press, 2002

This book uses MATLABR to analyze various applications in mathematics and mechanics. The authors hope to encourage engineers and scientists to consider this modern programming environment as an excellent alternative to languages such as FORTRAN or C++. MATLAB1 embodies an interactive environment with a high level programming language...

The first fuel cell theory and application resource written for students and professionals.

With the field of fuel cells growing at a rapid pace, there is a powerful need for a single guide to the myriad disciplines related to the technology. Fuel Cell Engines provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the...

Quantum Monte Carlo: Origins, Development, Applications

Oxford University Press, 2007

Monte Carlo methods are a class of computational algorithms for simulating the behavior of a wide range of various physical and mathematical systems (with many variables). Their utility has increased with general availability of fast computers, and new applications are continually forthcoming. The basic concepts of Monte Carlo are both simple and...

Finite Element Methods for Engineers

World Scientific Publishing, 1996

The advent of high-speed electronic digital computers has given tremendous impetus to all numerical methods for solving engineering problems. Finite element methods form one of the most versatile classes of such methods, and were originally developed in the field of structural analysis. They are, however, equally applicable to continuum mechanics...

Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws

Cambridge University Press, 2001

One of the paradoxes of the physical sciences is that as our knowledge has progressed, more and more diverse physical phenomena can be explained in terms of fewer underlying laws, or principles. In Hidden Unity, eminent physicist John Taylor puts many of these findings into historical perspective and documents how progress is made when unexpected,...

Propellants and Explosives: Thermochemical Aspects of Combustion

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Explosives and propellants contain considerable chemical energy that can be converted into rapid expansion. In contrast to the simple burning of a fuel, explosives and propellants are self-contained and do not need an external supply of oxygen via air. Since their energy content inherently creates the risk of accidental triggering of the...

CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering (Mechanical Engineering Handbook Series)

CRC Press, 1999

To be successful in the international marketplace, corporations must have access to the latest developments and most recent experimental data. Traditional handbooks of heat transfer stress fundamental principles, analytical approaches to thermal problems, and elegant solutions to classical problems. The CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering is not a...

Renewable Energy (Energy Science and Engineering)

Academic Press, 1997

The present edition has been updated in a number of renewable energy technology areas (Chapter 4 and 5), where progress have been made over the recent years. New solar simulation studies have been added to Chapter 6, and market considerations have been included in the overview in Chapter 1, and in discussing industry liberalisation in Chapter 7....

Riemannian Geometry: A Modern Introduction (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2006

"Each chapter concludes with an excellent section of notes and advanced exercises with further results, with hints and sketches of solutions at the end of the book...I think that it is the best reference on Riemannian geometry available, especially for someone interested in isoperimetric problems...Chavel is one of about a dozen mathematics...
