Introduction to Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory of Matter (Physics Textbook)

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

An updated and expanded translation of the highly popular Russian textbook, Introduction to Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory of Matter examines equilibrium and kinetic properties of matter – gas, liquid, and solid – using the general principles of thermodynamics and kinetic theory. Readable and accessible throughout, this book provides...

Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Terrorism: Emergency Response and Public Protection

CRC Press, 2003

This book provides guidance on measures that should be considered to protect human lives from terrorist activities involving nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. It provides a historical summary of the development and use of these weapons, and continues with a detailed discussion of the types of radiation and warfare agents that are...

Phased Array Antenna Handbook, Second Edition

Artech House Publishers, 2005

Phased array antennas consist of multiple stationary antenna elements, which are
fed coherently and use variable phase or time-delay control at each element to scan
a beam to given angles in space. Variable amplitude control is sometimes also
provided for pattern shaping. Arrays are sometimes used in place of fixed aperture...

Air Conditioning Engineering, Fifth Edition

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2001

Although the fundamentals of the subject have not altered since the publication of the last edition there have been significant changes in the development and application of air conditioning. Among these are concerns about indoor air quality, revision of outside design data and the expression of cooling loads arising from solar radiation through...

An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators (Wiley Series in Beam Physics and Accelerator Technology)

John Wiley & Sons, 1992

More than 50 years ago the discovery and understanding of radiation led to the idea of a beam of elementary particles. Since then the development of processes for the collection, focusing, and acceleration of such beams has given rise to a growing number of facilities designed to produce a variety of particle beams for a multitude of purposes....

Ultrasonography of the Pancreas: Imaging and Pathologic Correlations

Springer, 2011

Ultrasonography (US) has long been considered an important diagnostic imaging modality for investigation of the pancreas despite certain significant and well-known limitations. Indeed, in many countries US represents the first step in the diagnostic algorithm for pancreatic pathologies. Recent years have witnessed major advances in...

Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimetry

Elsevier Limited, 2003

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry),...

Advanced Tomographic Methods in Materials Research and Engineering (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials)

Oxford University Press, 2008

Tomography provides three-dimensional images of heterogeneous materials or engineering components, and offers an unprecedented insight into their internal structure. By using X-rays generated by synchrotrons, neutrons from nuclear reactors, or electrons provided by transmission electron microscopes, hitherto invisible structures can be revealed...

Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection (Physics Textbook)

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Since the preparation of the second edition (1995) of Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, many important developments have taken place that affect the profession of radiological health protection. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has issued new documents in a number of areas that are addressed in this third...

Galaxy Formation and Evolution

Cambridge University Press, 2010

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which are needed to understand how galaxies form and evolve, this book is ideal for researchers entering the field. Individual chapters explore the evolution of the...

Theoretical Astrophysics: An Introduction

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

Beginning from first principles and adopting a modular structure, this book develops the fundamental physical methods needed to describe and understand a wide range of seemingly very diverse astrophysical phenomena and processes. For example, the discussion of radiation processes including their spectra is based on Larmor's equation and...

Image-Guided Radiotherapy of Lung Cancer

CRC Press, 2007

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but IGRT (image guided radiation therapy) offers the possibility of more aggressive and enhanced treatments. The only available source on the subject that emphasizes new imaging techniques, and provides step-by-step treatment guidelines for lung cancer, this source helps...
