Principles of Biomechanics (Mechanical Engineering)

CRC Press, 2008

Research and study in biomechanics has grown dramatically in recent years, to the extent that students, researchers, and practitioners in biomechanics now outnumber those working in the underlying discipline of mechanics itself. Filling a void in the current literature on this specialized niche, Principles of Biomechanics provides...

Quantum Electronics

John Wiley & Sons, 1989

This Third Edition of the popular text, while retaining nearly all the material of the previous edition, incorporates material on important new developments in lasers and quantum electronics. Covers phase-conjugate optics and its myriad applications, the long wavelength quaternary semiconductor laser, and our deepened understanding of the physics...

Real-Time Cameras

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

The first book on this core game development topic by an experienced developer

The control of cameras is as important in games as it is in cinema. How the camera tracks and moves determines our point of view and influences our attitude towards the content. A poorly designed camera system in a game can disrupt a users...

Solar Radiation and Daylight Models, Second Edition: For the Energy Efficient Design of Buildings

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2004

A practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data

The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest...

Light Detectors, Photoreceptors, and Imaging Systems in Nature

Oxford University Press, 1995

"The book is of value . . . as a source of inspiration for biologists who are intrigued by the subject, as well as for engineers who are looking to biological structures for new ideas."--The Quarterly Review of Biology

"Wolken has synthesized information from physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to provide an...

Solar Technologies for Buildings

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Solar technologies are emerging as the sustainable technology of choice for those commissioning new buildings. Integrated photovoltaics offer huge potential for delivering renewable energy without generating harmful pollutants.

Discussing current market conditions and the economics of this technology, the author balances the physics and...

Superstition: Belief in the Age of Science

Princeton Press, 2008

From uttering a prayer before boarding a plane, to exploring past lives through hypnosis, has superstition become pervasive in contemporary culture? Robert Park, the best-selling author of Voodoo Science, argues that it has. In Superstition, Park asks why people persist in superstitious convictions long after science has shown...

The first book on Solar cells based on nanotechnology

Nanostructured Materials for Solar Energy Conversion covers a wide variety of materials and device types from inorganic materials to organic materials. This book deals with basic semiconductor physics, modelling of nanostructured solar cell, nanostructure of conventional...

Solar Hydrogen Generation: Toward a Renewable Energy Future

Springer, 2008

Given the backdrop of intense interest and widespread discussion on the prospects of a hydrogen energy economy, this book aims to provide an authoritative and up-to-date scientific account of hydrogen generation using solar energy and renewable sources such as water. While the technological and economic aspects of solar hydrogen generation are...

Mass Spectrometry in Biophysics : Conformation and Dynamics of Biomolecules

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The first systematic summary of biophysical mass spectrometry techniques

Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have pushed the frontiers of analytical chemistry into the biophysical laboratory. As a result, the biophysical community's acceptance of MS-based methods, used to study protein higher-order structure and dynamics,...
