Dialogues on the New Physics
Eurythmic physics seeks to unify physics for a clearer view of nature. This book develops this approach, arguing that because physical phenomena are not linear, they must be understood from a nonlinear, interrelated, and complex perspective.
An accessible guide to organic coatings, this book explains the chemical reactions and mechanisms of film formation. Examples and exercises provide technical insights and a deep understanding of the principles, while demonstrating how to use rheology to solve technical problems.
A Victorian Architectural Controversy
Who was the true architect of the New Houses of Parliament? Charles Barry, the winner of the competition, or Augustus Pugin, the ‘ghost’ designer? After both men died, the controversy became a public dispute, fueled by the directly-opposed claims of their sons.
Multivariate Techniques
This book covers both theoretical and applied aspects of multivariate analyses. It provides an overview of key terminology and distributions before discussing methods of drawing inferences, multivariate analysis of variance, and multivariate regression.
Semirings are used in cryptography as their additive operation lacks an inverse, preventing cryptosystem breakage. This book describes such protocols and the hard math their security is based on, appealing to cryptographers and specialists in applied algebra.
This work offers a holistic approach to landscape, agriculture, forests, and natural sciences. Featuring research from 50 expert contributors, it’s an excellent starting point for anyone looking to learn more about these topics.
Space, Life, Science and Stories
Surges of public interest in life from the cosmos often leave people confused and exploited. This book explores the causes of these surges, the stories they generate, and the relevant science, allowing you to become aware of the facts and judge them for yourself.
Electronics and Microprocessing for Research, 2nd Edition
A beginner’s guide to electronics, programming, and microprocessing with Arduino. Assuming no prior knowledge, this book explains how to control components and read sensors. With hands-on lab activities, you’ll learn to turn your project ideas into functional prototypes.
This volume highlights West Africa’s abundant clean energy resources. It shows the pace at which the renewable energy sector is growing and its contribution to mitigating global warming, detailing resources, the business environment, and the development of solar and hydro power.
This book presents a complex approach to material composition determination using joint X-ray spectra of fluorescence, scattering, and diffraction. These methods widen the application of X-ray analysis for specialists in solid state physics and students.
A virtual honeypot detects threats from hackers and captures data about their attacks. This book details how to confuse attackers and direct them onto the wrong path.
The Three–ray Megacontinent of the Earth
This book reveals a fundamental discovery: the southern continents are part of a single three-beam megacontinent. This proof represents a new level in understanding the structure and evolution of our planet, and will appeal to all with an interest in Earth’s history.
The Baseline Mass Transfer Coefficient
This book presents a revolutionary achievement: the Standard Specific Baseline Mass Transfer Coefficient. It solves the long-standing inability to correlate mass transfer coefficients between tests, transforming the design and operation of water and wastewater aeration systems.
This book offers a wide perspective on physics, from atoms to galaxies. It explains complicated issues through simple examples, combining popular science with scholarly insights and offering philosophical perspectives.
This book covers the design and quality control of microwave devices using simulation and measurement. It describes methods for designing simulators of microwave amplifiers and oscillators, enabling accurate measurements and effective quality control that minimizes costs.
Critical Practices in Architecture
Inspired by Jane Rendell’s critical spatial practice, this book shows how socially engaged architects, designers, and artists work to change the world. Bridging global perspectives, it explores urgent themes of equality, ethics, pedagogy, and representation.
This handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the applications of nuclear technology. It details its usage in every aspect of life, including in industries, medicine, art, cultural heritage, security, and forensics.
Modelling Offshore Wind Farm Operation and Maintenance
Offshore wind energy is a vital green resource, but its main challenge is the high cost of operation and maintenance. This book explores how to reduce failure rates and make offshore wind energy cheaper, using condition monitoring systems and real-world case studies.
Vulnerability Studies in the Americas
This book assesses climate change vulnerability and adaptive capacity in South America and Canada. The result of a seven-year project, it fills a gap in academic literature with unique comparative case studies of the global North and South.
Geological and seismic activity alters hydrogen and methane flows from the ground, changing the air’s electrical characteristics. This book uses field observations to illustrate how atmospheric-electrical monitoring can be used to solve problems in geophysics.
