Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of liquids. Simulations allow us to develop models and to test them against experimental data. This book is an introduction and practical guide to the molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods.
Proceedings of a NATO ASI held near Alghero, Italy in September 1992. The school focused on recent progress in applying the methods of computer simulation to problems in chemical physics. The 14 lectures address topics including the molecular dynamics method, advanced Monte Carlo techniques, thermodynamic constraints, computer simulations in the Gibbs ensemble, effective pair potentials and beyond, first principles molecular dynamics, computer simulation methods for nonadiabatic dynamics in condensed systems, long length- scale aspects of self organization phenomena, computer simulation of polymers, computer simulation of surfactants, parallel computing and molecular dynamics simulations, and scientific visualization--a user view.

The study of the interaction of molecules with surfaces and interfaces is of great importance for the understanding of adsorption and catalysis on solid surfaces, the complex properties of molecules on fluid interfaces and the relationship between structure and functionality in macromolecular biological systens. It is the aim of this volume to present and analyse in a comprehensive and accesible way the methodical achievements and the recent proress in this field. The broadness of both scope and selection of the topics should help in particular non-expert readers to become familiar with this exciting field of research.
Developmental psychopathology involves the study and prediction of maladaptive behaviors and processes across time. This new edition of the Handbook furthers the goal of integrating developmental processes into the search for adequate categorical systems for understanding child mental health problems and the trajectories that lead to adult psychopathology. The editors respond to contemporary challenges to place individual behavior in a biological and social context. By including a range of approaches, this volume encompasses the complexity of the growing developmental literature. At the same time, it includes the most recent efforts to produce concise child diagnostic categories. In a thorou...
