The 2005 edition of this annual volume consists of 26 contributions reviewing recent developments in epidemiology and biostatistics, environmental and occupational health, public health practice, social environment and behavior, and health services. A significant entry chronicles the rise and fall of menopausal hormone therapy and the results of cl
Chris Guillebeau shot to fame when he published a report on his blog called 'A Brief Guide to World Domination'. Within weeks, it was downloaded more than 100,000 times in over 60 countries, written about in the New York Times and endorsed by Seth Godin. It outlined a plan to 'take over the world' by doing what is most meaningful whilst helping others in unique way. The Art of Non-Conformity expands upon the gutsy ideas first introduced in Guillebeau's blog, focusing on three areas: life, work and travel.
This series of books covers all areas of computational physics, collecting together reviews where a newcomer can learn about the state of the art regarding methods and results. Articles are submitted by e-mail before deadlines which are kept by the editor.Biologically motivated simulations, glasses, world-record molecular dynamics, deposition on surfaces, and hydrodynamics are discussed in this volume which ends with an explanation of elementary particle physics (QCD) and their phase transitions.
The ninth volume of Annual Reviews of Computational Physics has as a special feature a comprehensive compendium of interatomic potentials as used for materials properties. Other articles deal with simulations of magnetic nanostructures, improved Monte Carlo methods (e.g. for nucleation studies in Ising models), fluid dynamics with large mean free paths, the growing field of “sociophysics,” and teaching of undergraduate computational physics (including an introduction to Java). Contents:Empirical Potential Energy Functions Used in the Simulations of Materials Properties (™ Erkoç)Thermally Activated Reversal in Magnetic Nanostructures (U Nowak)A Tutorial on Advanced Dynamic Monte Carlo ...
Publishes original critical reviews of the significant literature and current developments in psychology.
In this fifth volume of the authoritative series, the simulation of forest fires, flames, and hydrodynamics is presented in the first three articles. The next two deal with quantum simulations, in particular for two dimensions (quantum Hall effect and monolayers). Biology is connected with the last two articles: we learn from biological evolution to complement computer hardware and software with evolware, or we simulate immunology. Contents:Fire Spread in Natural Fuel: Computational Aspects (J A M S Duarte)Direct Numerical Simulation — A Tool to Study Turbulent Reacting Flows (M Baum)Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (J Moscinski et al.)Quantum Simulations in Materials Science: Molecular Monolayers and Crystals (P Nielaba)Criticality in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect (A Hansen et al.)Evolving Uniform and Non-Uniform Cellular Automata Networks (M Sipper)Modeling and Immune System: Architecture and Dynamics of Idiotypic Networks (K Lippert & U Behn) Readership: Students, researchers and scientists in computational physics, condensed matter physics, theoretical biology and engineering. keywords:Forest Fires;Fluid Dynamics;Immunology;Quantum Hall Effect
The Biotechnology Annual Review covers the various developments in biotechnology in the form of comprehensive, illustrated and well referenced reviews. With the expansion of the field of biotechnology, coupled with the vast increase in the number of new journals reporting recent results in this field, the need for a publication that is continuously providing reviews is urgent. Hence, each volume of the Biotechnology Annual Review will have a number of reviews covering different aspects of biotechnology. Reviewed topics will include biotechnology applications in medicine, agriculture, marine biology, industry, bioremedation and the environment. Fundamental problems dealing with enhancing the ...
