Fires in Silos: Hazards, Prevention, and Fire Fighting

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Storage of chemicals in silos is ubiquitous in the chemical, pharmaceutical and other producing industries, and some 80 % of all bulk materials are inflammable. It is here that the risk of large fires arises due to self-ignition or the intrusion of different ignition sources. For firefighters, most silo fires are very difficult to handle due to the...

Foundations of Quantum Physics

Springer, 2008

Our book is meant to be a text for a first undergraduate course in quantum physics. Both of us have taught this course numerous times and have used several different texts, some of them excellent. Obviously, though, there are changes we would make and that is the reason we are writing this book.

Two of the most widely used books for this course...

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...

Handbook of Applied Analysis (Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

Accurate models to describe real-world phenomena are indispensable for research in such scientific fields as physics, engineering, biology, chemistry, and economics. The tools and techniques of applied analysis facilitate the development of mathematical models and can thereby serve as an excellent resource for students and researchers in various...

Quantum: The Quantum Theory of Particles, Fields and Cosmology (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 1997

This book gives a new insight into the interpretation of quantum mechanics (stochastic, integral paths, decoherence), a completely new treatment of angular momentum (graphical spin algebra) and an introduction to Fermion fields (Dirac equation) and Boson fields (e.m. and Higgs) as well as an introduction to QED (quantum electrodynamics),...

The Physics of Hockey

Johns Hopkins, 2002

What do Wayne Gretzky and thermodynamics have in common? A lot more than you might think. The game the National Hockey League calls " the coolest game on earth" is also a fast-paced, dynamic display of physics in action.

In The Physics of Hockey, physicist and amateur hockey player Alain Haché examines some of the...

Dynamics and Relativity (Manchester Physics Series)

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

A new title in the Manchester Physics Series, this introductory text emphasises physical principles behind classical mechanics and relativity. It assumes little in the way of prior knowledge, introducing relevant mathematics and carefully developing it as need within a physics context. Designed to provide a logical development of the subject, the...

AI and Artificial Life in Video Games

Charles River, 2008

Welcome to AI and Artificial Life in Video Games, a book intended to challenge as well as inform designers/programmers who want to add artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial life (A-Life) to their next video game creation. This is not a textbook on AI, nor is it an attempt to write a definitive work on A-Life. Both fields are continually...

Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations, Second Edition (Hands on)

McGraw-Hill, 2007

Manage everyday calculations instantly and accurately-saving you time in the design, construction, and maintenance of all types of structures

Covering all aspects of civil engineering calculations in an easy-to-understand format, the new edition of the Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations is now revised and...

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web

Manning Publications, 2009

Web 2.0 applications provide a rich user experience, but the parts you can't see are just as important-and impressive. They use powerful techniques to process information intelligently and offer features based on patterns and relationships in data. Algorithms of the Intelligent Web shows readers how to use the same techniques employed by...

Understanding Consciousness: Second Edition

Routledge, 2009

Consciousness is personal. Indeed it is so close to the core of our being that it has puzzled thinkers from the beginnings of recorded history. What is it? What does it do? How does it relate to the physical world and to the workings of our bodies and brains? At the dawn of the new millennium answers to these questions are beginning to emerge....

The Theory of Differential Equations: Classical & Qualitative

Prentice Hall, 2003

Differential equations first appeared in the late seventeenth century in the work of Isaac Newton, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and the Bernoulli brothers, Jakob and Johann. They occurred as a natural consequence of the efforts of these great scientists to apply the new ideas of the calculus to certain problems in mechanics, such as the paths of...
