Within nanoscience, an emerging discipline is the study of the physics and chemistry of single molecules. Molecules may be considered as the ultimate building blocks, and are therefore interesting for the development of molecular devices and for surface functionalization. Thus, it is interesting to study their properties when adsorbed on a suitable substrate such as a solid or crystal surface, and also for their potential applications in nano- or molecular-electronics and nanosensing. Investigations have been made possible by the advent of high resolution surface imaging and characterization techniques, commonly referred to as Scanning Probe Microscopes.This book focuses on the fascinating p...

Nanotechnology is a 'catch-all' description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world. A nanometre is a billionth of a metre, that is, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Nanotechnology is now used in precision engineering, new materials development as well as in electronics; electromechanical systems as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas such as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. This book presents carefully selected abstracts of the last 5 years in this frontier field. Special access is provide by author, title and subject indexes.
The aim of this book is to provide students of engineering mechanics with detailed solutions of a number of selected engineering mechanics problems. It was written on the demand of the students in our courses who try to understand given solutions from their books or to solve problems from scratch. Often solutions in text books cannot be reproduced due to minor mistakes or lack of mathematical knowledge. Here we walk the reader step by step through the solutions given in all details. We thereby are trying to address students with different educational background and bridge the gap between undergraduate studies, advanced courses on mechanics and practical engineering problems. It is an easy read with plenty of illustrations which brings the student forward in applying theory to problems. This is the first volume of 'Statics' covering force systems on rigid bodies and properties of area. This is a valuable supplement to a text book in any introductory mechanics course.

Nine articles written especially for the series synthesize international research in condensed matter. Among the topics are fiber debonding and bridging toughening in fiber-reinforced brittle matrix composites, analyzing the electron transport phenomena in high- temperature superconductivity materials by studying the band spectrum and its transformation under doping by different impurities, a functional integral approach in superconductivity theory, dye molecules in zeolite L nano crystals for efficient light harvesting, luminescent properties of some substituted 1,8 naphthyridines, and the discrete dependence of powder steels properties on porosity. No information is provided about future volumes. c. Book News Inc.
In The Immigrant Superpower, Tim Kane argues that immigration has long been a source of American strength and that exceptional immigrants have been crucial to American exceptionalism. Deftly combining stories of immigrants who have contributed to the American experience with analysis of the effects of immigration on wages and unemployment, Kane's impassioned view of how immigration has made America great stands in contrast to the broken and dysfunctional debate about immigration.
