A Concise Handbook of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences takes a practical approach to the basic notions, formulas, equations, problems, theorems, methods, and laws that most frequently occur in scientific and engineering applications and university education. The authors pay special attention to issues that many engineers and students
Biology in Physics: Is Life Matter? is a radical new book which bridges the gap between biology and physics. The aim is to promote an interdisciplinary exchange of scientific information and ideas, in order to stimulate cooperation in research. The scope of this volume explores the concepts and techniques of biophysics, and illustrates the latest advances in our understanding of many of the specific mechanisms that are used by living organisms. This volume represents a special effort to bring together the information that would allow a nonbiologically oriented physicist to appreciate the important role that physics plays in life sciences. Key Features: An introduction to biophysics for non-specialist Covers all the important topices in modern biophysics Takes account of the latest information emerging from biophysical projects Reports on novel therapeutic strategies Presents an advanced-level overview of mechanisms that regulate a variety of processes in organisms ranging from bacterial to whales
This volume will contain about 40 invited papers and over 200 contributed papers covering all aspects of high-pressure research in physics, chemistry, materials science and biology. It will serve as an exhaustive review of recent achievements in these areas and of the topics of major interest. The list of subjects include: 1) Electronic, optical, and transport properties of solids; 2) Phase transitions, structural properties, and lattice dynamics; 3) Crystal growth and material synthesis; 4) Organic synthesis and biological applications; 5) Geophysical sciences; 6) Instrumentation and metrology; 7) Superhard materials; 8) Ceramics and sintering; 9) Food processing; 10) Plasticity and hydroextrusion.Contributors include: N W Ashcroft (USA), V Blank (Russia), E M Cambell (USA), H G Drickamer (USA), W B Holzapfel (Germany), J Karpinski (Switzerland), H K Mao (USA), W J Nellis (USA), W Paul (USA), E G Ponyatovsky (Russia), A L Ruoff (USA), J S Schilling (USA), O Shimomura (Japan), I F Silvera (USA), B Sundquist (Sweden).
Conformal components are used nowadays at higher rate than ever before. They can be found in curved mobile phones, communication, navigation, and imaging systems in land, water, air, and space vehicles. The integration of those components within the external structure became of significant importance for aerodynamic, electromagnetic, aesthetic, or physical reasons. As a result, many mathematical models were previously developed to analyze and optimize such conformed devices. In this thesis, we contributed to this field by developing various models for full wave analysis of spheroidal components. As a starting point, mathematical formulas for conforming antennas on oblate and prolate spheroid...
This guide book to mathematics contains in handbook form the fundamental working knowledge of mathematics which is needed as an everyday guide for working scientists and engineers, as well as for students. Easy to understand, and convenient to use, this guide book gives concisely the information necessary to evaluate most problems which occur in concrete applications.
"Alexis Klimoff's companion to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich includes a general introduction discussing the work in the context of Solzhenitsyn's oeuvre as well as its place within the Russian literary tradition. Also included are primary sources and other background materials, as well as discussions of the work by leading scholars and an annotated bibliography. Combining the highest order of scholarship with accessibility, this critical companion illuminates a great work of Russian literature, and will enhance its appreciation by both teachers and students." --Book Jacket.

This collection of essays spans pure and applied mathematics. Readers interested in mathematical research and historical aspects of mathematics will appreciate the enlightening content of the material. Highlighting the pervasive nature of mathematics today in a host of different areas, the book also covers the spread of mathematical ideas and techn
Among the least-chronicled aspects of post-World War II European intellectual and cultural history is the story of the Russian intelligentsia after Stalin. Vladislav Zubok turns a compelling subject into a portrait as intimate as it is provocative. Zhivago's children, the spiritual heirs of Boris Pasternak's noble doctor, were the last of their kind - an intellectual and artistic community committed to a civic, cultural, and moral mission.
A Guide to the Evaluation of Integrals Special Integrals of Gradshetyn and Ryzhik: The Proofs provides self-contained proofs of a variety of entries in the frequently used table of integrals by I.S. Gradshteyn and I.M. Ryzhik. The book gives the most elementary arguments possible and uses Mathematica® to verify the formulas. Readers discover the beauty, patterns, and unexpected connections behind the formulas. Volume I collects 15 papers from Revista Scientia covering logarithmic integrals, the gamma function, trigonometric integrals, the beta function, the digamma function, the incomplete beta function, Frullani integrals, and various combinations. The book presents entries without indicating the range of parameters for their validity, encouraging readers to determine this range themselves. Many entries have a variety of proofs that can be evaluated using a symbolic language or point to the development of a new algorithm.
