Human Calcification Mechanisms
This book explores calcium regulation—from essential bone mineralization to harmful soft tissue calcification. It unites foundational science with AI, advanced imaging, and robotic interventions, offering cutting-edge insights into calcification disorders and their management.
Explore Boltzmann’s probabilistic theory of heat, covering entropy, the Gibbs distribution, fluctuations, and dissipation. With applications from phase transitions to earthquakes, this book is for students and researchers seeking new ways of investigation in Thermodynamics.
Public disbelief slows the development of nuclear power. This can be overcome by creating reactors with inherent self-protection, where the causes of severe accidents are excluded by the laws of nature. This book collects reports from Russian specialists on such reactors.
Occupational Injuries and Workplace Risks
Occupational injuries cause immense human suffering and economic loss. This book explores what makes workers vulnerable, from age and shift work to risks in industries like construction and fishing, while also touching on recent trends like climate change.
This textbook explains the physical processes governing the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Designed for undergraduates, the theory is developed from first principles, covering planetary dynamics, magnetic fields, and the fluid dynamics of circumstellar disks.
Why We Study the Physics of the Ocean
This book reviews physical oceanography, from its history to its future challenges. It relates the physics of the ocean to topical issues like climate change and ocean forecasting, helping you understand how the ocean fits into the complex system of the global environment.
Explore the wave and vibration equation, emphasizing singular solutions and physical content. This book covers applications from tsunamis and storm breakers to the ringing of bells and collapsing towers. For students, researchers, and engineers in physics and applied mathematics.
Green Tribology
Green tribology is a new field addressing global environmental and energy crises. This is the only academic monograph in the world which systematically validates the principles and practice of green tribology, featuring the author’s new concept of natural disaster tribology.
This guide explores cache coherency in multicore systems, from key protocols to the design of a scalable fabric for the RISC-V architecture. Leveraging detailed simulations, the book rigorously examines the fabric’s ability to maintain memory consistency across multiple cores.
Urban Histories in Practice
What is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city? This volume explores this question in contexts of rapid urbanization and urban decline. Using critical and creative methods, the authors frame urban history not as theory, but as a call for action.
Weak chemical interactions, i.e., hydrogen and halogen bonds, control the structure of molecular crystals. This book uses vibrational (Raman) spectra to describe their properties and nature, for students and scientists in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutics research.
Microbes play a vital role in making the earth sustainable. Omnipresent in nature, they inhabit extreme conditions and are essential for human existence, from food fermentation to medicine. This volume highlights the importance of microbial biodiversity to society.
Construction projects require engineers, surveyors, and contractors to interact effectively to ensure a project is built precisely. The knowledge of basic words, concepts, and methods used by surveyors will greatly help engineers during this interaction.
