General Relativity: A Concise Introduction

Oxford University Press, 2019

Einstein's general theory of relativity -- currently our best theory of gravity -- is important not only to specialists, but to a much wider group of physicists. This short textbook on general relativity and gravitation offers students glimpses of the vast landscape of science connected to general relativity. It incorporates some of the...

The Accretion and Obscured Growth of Supermassive Black Holes: First Constraints on the Local Heavily Obscured AGN Fraction with NuSTAR (Springer Theses)

Springer, 2020

This thesis describes the application of state-of-the-art high-energy X-ray studies to the astronomical quest for understanding obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). These AGN are supermassive black holes growing by accretion of matter located in the nuclei of galaxies. The material that feeds these black holes also obscures them from...

High-Grade Gliomas: Diagnosis and Treatment (Current Clinical Oncology)

Humana Press, 2006

This is truly an exciting time in the field of neuro-oncology, particularly in the area of highgrade gliomas. The management of patients with high-grade gliomas has historically been one of the most challenging and disheartening fields in medicine, where failure is the rule and longevity is the exception. The jaded often state that...

CURED I - LENT Late Effects of Cancer Treatment on Normal Tissues (Medical Radiology / Radiation Oncology)

Springer, 2007

This volume is based on the LENT V NCI-sponsored meeting held in May 2004 and the CURED I Conference in 2006.

It is hoped that these...

Light And Optics (Physics in Our World)

Facts on File, 2007

SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS ago people believed that vision involved the emission of some kind of radiation by the eye. Everyone realized the eyes are necessary—an eye injury causes a loss of vision—but people in ancient times imagined the eye sent out rays and bounced them off distant objects, providing a sense of vision by analyzing the...

$High Resolution X-Ray Diffractometry And Topography$

High Resolution X-Ray Diffractometry And Topography

CRC Press, 1998

The purpose of this book is to provide the theoretical and practical background necessary to the study of single-crystal materials by means of high resolution Xray diffractometry and topography. Whilst some of these techniques have been available for over fifty years, and the basic theory for even longer, it is in the last decade that they have...

Mad About Modern Physics : Braintwisters, Paradoxes, and Curiosities

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

This book of almost 250 puzzles begins where our first book, Mad
About Physics: Braintwisters, Paradoxes, and Curiosities (2001)
ended—with the physics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. The Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, the
challenges posed by atomic spectra and blackbody radiation, the...

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...
