 | | Modelling Methods for Energy in BuildingsClimate change mitigation and sustainable practices are now at the top of political and technical agendas. Environmental system modelling provides a way of appraising options and this book will make a significant contribution to the uptake of such systems. It provides knowledge of the principles involved in modelling systems, builds confidence... | | Ship Stability for Masters and Mates, Fifth EditionUnderstanding ship stability, the ability of a ship to return to an initial state after disturbing forces and moments, is critical for all maritime students and professionals studying for a deck or engineering certificate of competency, or seeking promotion to a higher rank within the merchant marine or Navy.

Tissue Engineering Using Ceramics and PolymersDrawing a distinguished editors and international team of contributors, this book reviews the latest research and advances and how they can be used to develop treatments for disease states. An innovative and up-to-date reference, it begins with a discussion of general issues and then moves on to review characterization. Building on this foundation,... | | Computational Physics of Carbon NanotubesCarbon nanotubes are the fabric of nanotechnology. Investigation into their properties has become one of the most active fields of modern research. This book presents the key computational modelling and numerical simulation tools to investigate carbon nanotube characteristics. In particular, methods applied to geometry and bonding, mechanical,... | | Composites for Construction: Structural Design with FRP MaterialsFiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have developed into economically and structurally viable construction materials for buildings and bridges over the last 20 years. FRP composite materials used in structural engineering typically consist of glass, carbon, or aramid fibers encased in a matrix of epoxy, polyester, vinylester, or... |

Introduction to Phonons and ElectronsThis book is based on my lecture notes developed for the undergraduate physics students. The lecture notes have two distinct parts. The first part goes into this book that focuses on achieving the basic understanding of phonons and electrons in crystalline solids. The second part is a selected set of classical and contemporary topics. It introduces... | | | | Superstition: Belief in the Age of ScienceFrom 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... |

Mars, A Cosmic Stepping Stone: Uncovering Humanity's Cosmic ContextThe questions of our origin and cosmic abundance of life are among the most compelling facing humanity. We have determined much about the nature and origin of the Universe and our place in it, but with virtually all evidence of our origin long since gone from our world and an unimaginably vast Universe still to explore, defining answers are... | | Carbon Materials for Advanced TechnologiesHardbound. The inspiration for this book came from an American Carbon Society Workshop entitled "Carbon Materials for Advanced Technologies" which was hosted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1994. Chapter 1 contains a review of carbon materials, and emphasizes the structure and chemical bonding in the various forms of carbon,... | | McGraw-Hill's Engineering CompanionThe scores of literature materials available to engineers of today are both vast and impressive. Specialized studies, textbooks, encyclopedias, pocket books of frequently used formulas, and collections of tables, data and conversion charts and, of course, handbooks clutter the bookshelves of libraries and homes. All of these serve a common purpose:... |
