We are living in a time of big changes. We face changes driven by
powerful forces like world population growth; rising prices for food, fuel,
and raw materials; depletion of natural resources; and increasing levels of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. And at the very same time, we are
also surrounded by the...
In writing Engineering Hear Trmnfer, I have attempted to provide the reader with a foundation
in the study of heat-transfer principles while also emphasizing some of the topic's practical
applications. The mathematics presented in the text should not present undue learning difficulties
to the student who has completed first...
Please do not consider any construction you find in this
book to be a final or definitive design. There is always room
for tinkering and improvements: As a matter of fact, some of
the constructions shown in this guide make deliberate use of
basic LEGO pieces, to help those who try to build with limited...
This textbook is of an interdisciplinary nature and is designed for a two- or one-semester course in
probability and statistics, with basic calculus as a prerequisite. The book is primarily written to give
a sound theoretical introduction to statistics while emphasizing applications. If teaching statistics
is the main purpose of a...
This book is intended as a text/reference for students, researchers, and professors interested in physical and biomedical applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI are emphasized. The book begins with a comprehensive discussion of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) phenomenon based...
Kaufmann and Schwitters have built this text's reputation on clear and concise exposition, numerous examples, and plentiful problem sets. This traditional text consistently reinforces the following common thread: learn a skill; practice the skill to help solve equations; and then apply what you have learned to solve application problems....
This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Topics covered in Volume 18 include molecular modeling, computer-assisted molecular design (camd), quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics and dynamics, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (qsar).
Biomedical research is at a critical point at present. The research has led
to an enormous amount of data and models describing these data, but approaches
for application, formalization and integration of this knowledge from
the molecular to the system level are still topics of ongoing research and certainly
far from fully...
Exploring the design and use of micro- and meso-actuators, this book begins with theory and a general synopsis of the state-of-the-art in theoretical research. It discusses how to employ modern approaches in research and design activity, then presents a systematic list of already available products and details their potential for use. Design...
No matter what your career plans or future goals, ACCOUNTING: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, 10e helps you develop a solid understanding of accounting and its importance in business today that will put you well ahead of the competition. Organized around business activities, the text balances an introduction to accounting procedures with an...
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION: PROCESS AND PRODUCT, 7 is designed to prepare students for success in today's digital workplace as well as tips on job searching skills. The textbook and accompanying Web site explains the basics of communicating in the workplace, working in teams, how to being a good listener and understanding business etiquette....
“Newton’s Gravity” conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people, for example, know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the actual pulls of the...
