This book highlights new findings and methods in tectonochronology for the accurate dating of geological processes. It explores topics like mineral formation, dating deformation, and the influence of stress and fluid, with case studies from Chinese geology applicable worldwide.
This book describes terahertz radiation’s interaction with materials from dielectrics to metals. It covers all types of terahertz sources and detectors, investigates the “terahertz gap,” and explores means of increasing the working frequency and output power of the devices.
This book covers the theory and practice of hypothesis testing: deciding on the plausibility of models based on data. Useful for researchers and practitioners at all levels, it discusses important practical problems and provides detailed algorithms for their solutions.
Conventional theories about alloys are wrong. This book is the first to present exhaustive evidence that processes in alloys are determined by the chemical interaction between nearest atoms, radically changing our ability to consciously design new materials.
This book focuses on controlling interfacial strength, a key problem in adhesion science. It examines adhesive joints of fibers and modified epoxy resins, analyzing the dependence of adhesive strength on modifier concentration and the mechanisms controlling strength synergism.
The Ages of the Earth
Considering cosmogonies, theological dogmas, natural philosophy, Deism and the inevitable secularism of the Age of Enlightenment, Álvaro recounts the struggle that the human mind has undertaken, over two millennia, against creationist myths.
This book analyzes algorithms for stochastic phenomena like random processes and Markov chains. It presents a novel “Complex Probability Paradigm” applied to Brownian motion, making it ideal for researchers and students in mathematics, computer science, and science.
