On the Geology of Syria
Explore the geology of Syria, a highly diverse field for geologists. Located at the meeting point of the Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, Syria is underlain by the active Dead Sea Fault Zone, making this area of unique interest.
This book is a precise and comprehensive history of the digital computer, tracing its roots and routes through the modern era. Though dealing with the history of technology in general, its central focus is the automatic digital program-controlled calculating devices of 1935-1945.
Precedented Environmental Futures
This book addresses in a holistic manner the built environment through the lens of environmental architecture. It offers broad discursive messages, rather than narrow conclusions, and will have lasting luminance for new generations involved with the built environment.
This volume discusses advances in applied nonlinear optimal control with case studies in robotics, mechatronics, and biological systems. The methods avoid complex transformations and singularity problems, retaining the advantages of optimal control.
Handbook of Environmental Impact Assessment
Good EIA reports are crucial for sustainable decision-making, but guidelines on quality are lacking. This book, based on a review of over 150 reports, bridges that gap. It describes the features of a good quality EIA report, with case studies to help professionals prepare them.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
With demand for mobility growing and infrastructure limited, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are essential. This book presents the ingredients of good ITS not from a technology perspective, but from a business, management, and policy view, with real-life case studies.
Archaeological Chemistry
This multidisciplinary volume presents new research in archaeological chemistry, applying chemical techniques to study the material remains of past cultures. It shows how the field combines analytical chemistry, history, and materials science to better understand our past.
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.
This book is the most complete description of a photochemical reaction first described 110 years ago. The reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene yields an oxetane ring with high selectivity—a key structure in many naturally occurring and bioactive compounds.
This book is a monograph on Albert Einstein’s odyssey to Special and General Relativity. Bringing together recent studies, it offers an in-depth analysis of the genesis of his theories, Einstein’s own derivations, and the philosophical perspectives of his work.
This book explores landscape management and ecology, investigating issues from urban park design and green urbanism to protected areas and urban transformation. The volume will appeal to researchers, local authorities, academics, and students.
Many students struggle to visualize the frequency domain, essential for technologies like MRI. This book depicts the transformation in detail, from Fourier series to image filtering, with a progressive introduction to Matlab and numerical applications on functions and images.
The Fundamental Principles of Physics
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
Understanding the Metaverse and its Technological Marvels
Explore the Metaverse, the new digital frontier where VR, AR, and AI converge. This guide details its transformative potential in education, healthcare, and commerce, while addressing the critical challenges of privacy, security, and inclusivity for a responsible future.
This book contributes to a better understanding of the environment and climate change, assisting students in scoring higher marks in competitive exams. It covers environmental ecology, bio-diversity, natural hazards, disaster management, climate change, and other key topics.
This textbook provides an introduction to physics for undergraduate students of geology and Earth sciences. It explains basic physics theories first, which are then applied to geological phenomena, using accessible math with figures and solved problems.
