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...

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),...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Windows NT File System Internals : A Developer's Guide

O'Reilly, 1997

Writing kernel-mode Windows NT programs--such as file-system drivers (FSDs), filter drivers, and antivirus programs--poses a challenge to even experienced Windows programmers. It's hard enough to get these programs to work, but getting them to live peacefully with other kernel programs and NT itself is an art. Nagar sorts through the mechanics...

Design of Concrete Structures, 13th Edition

McGraw-Hill, 2003

The 13th edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2002 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code.

Design of Concrete Structures covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete and provides thoroughly updated examples and homework problems throughout. The 13th edition also...

Chief Ronald Spadafora of the New York City Fire Department has created this test prep guide and career handbook to give you the very latest information about firefighter testing and employment. With three decades of experience in...

Entropic Spacetime Theory (K & E Series on Knots and Everything, Vol. 13)

World Scientific Publishing, 1996

This book sets up a discrete universe with minimum and maximum dimensions. Singularity is rejected.

Entropic Spacetime Theory divides the universe into a kinetic system and an entropic spacetime. The kinetic system is what our present physics is all about; it deals with radiation (vector bosons) and mass particles (fermions). Relativity...

Ultrasonic Processes and Machines: Dynamics, Control and Applications (Foundations of Engineering Mechanics)

Springer, 2007

This work presents the foundations of dynamic and control for ultrasonic processing systems.This book considers ultrasonic systems as special vibratory machines that function by exploiting nonlinear dynamic processes. Recommendations are given for designing and tuning ultrasonic machines. The ultrasonic machines analysed are predominantly concerned...
