The topic of wettability (measured in terms of contact angle) is of tremendous interest from both fundamental and applied points of view, Wettability plays an essential role in many industrial processes, so an understanding of factors dictating wettability and how to modulate it is of paramount importance. In the last years there has been an explosive interest in superhydrophobic surfaces (i.e., surfaces with water contact angle of 150° or higher) because of their relevance/importance in many areas ranging from self-cleaning windows to nanofluidics. Also recently there has been heightened activity in the field of electrowetting. Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion, Volume 6 is divided...
This volume contains lecture notes from the seminars [alpha]Number Theory", [alpha]Algebraic Geometry" and [alpha]Geometric methods in representation theory" which took place at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen during the Winter Term 2003-2004. Most contributions report on recent work by the authors.
This book is as good as we are likely to get on the subject in English. For Pacific Theater aerophiles, it's a must-have. --Barrett Tillman, author of WhirlwindVivid account of Japanese navy fighter units in combatContains biographies of all pilots claiming ace statusIncludes photos of planes like the Zero fighter and the pilots who flew them
This volume contains refereed papers on themes explored at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference, Commutative Algebra: Syzygies, Multiplicities, and Birational Algebra, held at Mount Holyoke College in 1992. The conference featured a series of one-hour invited lectures on recent advances in commutative algebra and interactions with such areas as algebraic geometry, representation theory, and combinatorics. The major themes of the conference were tight closure Hilbert functions, birational algebra, free resolutions and the homological conjectures, Rees algebras, and local cohomology. With contributions by several leading experts in the field, this volume provides an excellent survey of current research in commutative algebra.
This book presents the state of the art on numerical semigroups and related subjects, offering different perspectives on research in the field and including results and examples that are very difficult to find in a structured exposition elsewhere. The contents comprise the proceedings of the 2018 INdAM “International Meeting on Numerical Semigroups”, held in Cortona, Italy. Talks at the meeting centered not only on traditional types of numerical semigroups, such as Arf or symmetric, and their usual properties, but also on related types of semigroups, such as affine, Puiseux, Weierstrass, and primary, and their applications in other branches of algebra, including semigroup rings, coding theory, star operations, and Hilbert functions. The papers in the book reflect the variety of the talks and derive from research areas including Semigroup Theory, Factorization Theory, Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Commutative Algebra, Coding Theory, and Number Theory. The book is intended for researchers and students who want to learn about recent developments in the theory of numerical semigroups and its connections with other research fields.
In this compendium of current studies on olfaction and taste - the most comprehensive yet to appear in this series - the chemical senses are elucidated from points of view ranging from anatomy, electrophysiology, molecular biology (especially chemoreceptor gene cloning), biochemistry, and psychophysics to the latest clinical and technological applications of chemosensory research. Specific topics include the structure and function of the tastebud and olfactory epithelium; the genetics and mechanisms of olfactory and taste transduction; the chemistry and function of flavor compounds; the psychophysics of taste and olfaction in daily human life; the brain mechanisms of coding, learning, and me...
This volume contains leading edge research and authoritative reviews in meteor science. It provides a comprehensive view of meteoroid research including the dynamics, sources and distribution of these bodies. Techniques for investigation of meteor phenomena in the book include conventional and large aperture radar systems, spacecraft detection, optical systems, spectral measurements, and laboratory based interplanetary dust particle studies.
