This book presents a comprehensive course of quantum mechanics for undergraduate and graduate students. After a brief outline of the innovative ideas that lead up to the quantum theory, the book reviews properties of the Schrödinger equation, the quantization phenomena and the physical meaning of wave functions. The book discusses, in a...
The effective field approach to a phase transition, used by Pierre Weiss at
the beginning of this century to describe theoretically ferromagnetic transitions
in iron, nickel, and cobalt, is the second oldest (surpassed in this
respect only by Van der Waals theory of liquid-vapor transitions) and certainly
the simplest approach...
Contributions by Surhid Gautam and Lit-Mian Chan. This book presents a state-of-the art review of vehicle emission standards and regulations and provides a synthesis of worldwide experience with vehicle emission control technologies and their applications in both industrial and developing countries. Topics covered include: * The two principal...
The Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry series continues with
its thirty-fifth volume but with the regrettable retirement of its founding
editor, Professor J.O’M. Bockris (see Appreciation on p. v).
As in most previous volumes, a series of five chapters is
presented covering both the electrolyte solution and...
The first comprehensive resource on the chemistry of vanadium, Vanadium: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and Practical Applications has evolved from over a quarter century of research that concentrated on delineating the aqueous coordination reactions that characterize the vanadium(V) oxidation state. The authors distill...
This book presents and discusses research in the study of computer science. Topics
discussed include fuzzy logic in molecular computing; mobile database computing; learning
methods for spam filtering; heterogeneous systems; nested relational database systems;
advanced array processing techniques and systems and swarm intelligence....
The fun, hands-on way to learn about rocket science
Yes, as a matter of fact, is IS rocket science! And because this book is written for the popular Evil Genius format, it means you can learn about this fascinating and growing hobby while having run creating 50 great projects. You will find a detailed list of...
Despite global concerns over dwindling resources, climate change and carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuels still account for more than 80% of the world’s energy demands. As resources diminish and demand increases from rapidly developing nations such as China and India, the threat to both our environment and the security of our energy...
Our world faces an unprecedented energy crisis. Fuel shortages, skyrocketing energy prices, climate change, nuclear contamination, catastrophic oil spills and energy wars define the global scenario. The nonrenewable energy path of oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear is headed for a dead-end at an accelerated speed. In our race for survival we...
Using limited resources in sustainable ways, energy engineers and technologists have made people's lives comfortable and affordable with efficient and cost-effective technology, from air conditioners to waste fuels. But to accommodate the expanding world population, the global supply of energy has been increasingly strained. Energy...
Chiral amines are powerful pharmacophores for defining new pharmaceutical drugs (Figure P.1) due to their high density of structural information and inherent ability for hydrogen bonding, yet their synthesis remains a challenge. That challenge is further appreciated when framed in the context of the following goal: the introduction of...
