A comprehensive review of what is currently understood about the effects of freezing on living organisms and an evaluation of how this knowledge can be applied to benefit humanity through healthcare and

Many of us have been fascinated as children by soap bubbles and soap films. Their shapes and colours are beautiful and they are great fun to pay with. With no les intensity,

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world, from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However, we have yet to explore

Honouring the memory of physics educator Eric Rogers, this volume contains essays that deal with issues of current concern in science education, particularly the teaching of physics.

Univ. of Sheffield, UK. Textbook providing introduction to application of physics and engineering in healthcare from ionizing radiation to biomechanics. Examples explain how some diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are performed. Halftone illustrations

Outlines what physics is about and how it has increased our understanding of the world. Discusses the concepts of motion, force and energy, and considers the mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic properties of

Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations illustrates the use of Laplace, Fourier, and Hankel transforms to solve partial differential equations encountered in science and engineering. This second edition is expanded to

Group representation theory is both elegant and practical, with important applications to quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, crystallography, and other fields in the physical sciences. Until now, however, there have been virtually no accessible

Whether you are a statistician, engineer, or businessperson, you need statistics. You want to be able to easily reference tables, find formulas, and know how to use them so you can extract

Risk or uncertainty assessments are used as aids to decision making in nearly every aspect of business, education, and government. As a follow-up to the author's bestselling Risk Assessment and Decision Making

Spatial point processes play a fundamental role in spatial statistics and today they are a very active area of research with many new and emerging applications. Although published works address different aspects

Many-body theory, used to describe the interaction of nuclear particles is widely studied in physics, but most of the literature on the topic is scattered and not always presented in a rigorous

The emergence of fuzzy logic and its applications has dramatically changed the face of industrial control engineering. Over the last two decades, fuzzy logic has allowed control engineers to meet and overcome

Presenting the mathematical theory of period problems in plane elasticity by methods of complex variables, this title proposes that the most general formulations of such problems are proposed under the assumption that

Clear prose, tight organization, and a wealth of examples and computational techniques make Basic Matrix Algebra with Algorithms and Applications an outstanding introduction to linear algebra. The author designed this treatment specifically

This work presents approaches to modelling and control problems arising from conditions of ever increasing nonlinearity and complexity. It prescribes an approach that covers a wide range of methods being combined to

Practical in its approach, Applied Bayesian Forecasting and Time Series Analysis provides the theories, methods, and tools necessary for forecasting and the analysis of time series. The authors unify the concepts, model

This study of nonparametric regression and generalized linear models contains chapters on approaches to regression, roughness penalties, extensions of the roughness penalty approach, computing the estimates, interpolating and smoothing splines, one-dimensional case,

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the most recent methodology--both theoretical and applied--on the statistical analysis and detection of defective/"non-conforming" items in various types of inspection for attributes, when the inspection

Two variational theories of liquid crystals are explained in this book: the first, presented by Zocher, Oseen and Frank, is classical; the other, put forward by Ericksen, is new in its formulation,
