This book explores the phenomenon of superconductivity from its discovery in 1911 to today. Unlike typical science history books, it presents close-up views of of leading characters in the research and their role in the story, much of it in their own words.

This book covers geometric architecture and tectonic evolution of the Permian series, using seismic interpretation, field studies and 2D restoration of representative cross sections to show the interaction of multiphase extension, inversion and salt diapirism.

The primary contribution of this book is to integrate the important disciplines which simultaneously impact the investment appraisal process.

This book serves as the standard textbook on elastoplasticity for students, engineers and researchers in applied mechanics. It explains physical concepts in elastoplasticity in detail and offers formulations and derivations/transformations for all equations.

This book covers a promising new surface treatment technique for improving fatigue durability, corrosion, wear resistance and other mechanical properties of metals and alloys. Examines the underlying mechanism for grain refinement by ultra-high strain rate.

Organ transplantation is a much-discussed subject, and the importance of living organ donation is increasing significantly. Furthermore, the European Union's authority is investigated, namely, whether it is entitled to establish statutory provisions for the Member States with respect to a harmonized regulation of living organ donation.

This 6 volume set offers a systematic, standardized description of 23,033 chemical components isolated from 6,926 medicinal plants, collected from 5,535 books and articles published in Chinese and international journals, organized for easy retrieval and use.

This volume focuses on one of the most problematic areas of Turkish penal justice: the overreliance on custodial measures and a corresponding growth in the prison population, and compares Turkey with two major European countries in this respect: England and Wales and Germany.

Classical electrodynamics is one of the most beautiful and productive theories in physics. This book differs from the many others on the subject, approaching the theory from an axiomatic perspective and providing well over 100 solved and proposed problems.

This book provides foundations for software specification and formal software development from the perspective of work on algebraic specification. It concentrates on developing basic concepts and studying their fundamental properties.

This book examines preference representation, covering languages, nonmonotonic logics of preference and conditional networks, then moves to reasoning, exploring preference-based argumentation, rank-ordering outcomes, database queries and future research trends.

Using digital in-line holography for the first time, this thesis has been nominated for a Springer prize and achieves a complete three-dimensional and real-time motion analysis of Ulva zoospores, both in solution and in the vicinity of different surfaces.

While international trends in substantive competition law spawn a good deal of comment, those in enforcement law remain complex and underreported. This book analyzes convergence and cooperation in enforcement law in the context of international competition.

This book introduces a theory of interpretation. It defines a model that enables a meaningful representation of information, based on a dynamic view of information and a cognitive model of human information processing.

Covering animal suffering both directly inflicted and indirectly caused by humans, this volume examines the role education can play in improving animal welfare and reducing the vast amount of animal suffering that has been and is currently created by humans.

This set of six volumes provides a systematic and standardized description of 23,033 chemical components isolated from 6,926 medicinal plants, collected from 5,535 books/articles published in Chinese and international journals.

This set of six volumes provides a systematic and standardized description for 23,033 chemical components isolated from 6,734 medicinal plants. It provides a chemical structure with stereo-chemistry bonds for each chemical component.

'Exact' and 'heuristic' techniques are enhancing our ability to overcome intractable obstacles in the world of optimization. Using the linear ordering problem as an illustration, this text provides a toolkit for tackling a variety of combinatorial dilemmas.

In the context of a revival in classical mechanics, this volume provides a general view on analytical formalism and shows how it can be applied to a number of branches of theoretical physics, such as thermodynamics, field theory and relativity theory.

Since the exercises provided in the text almost always require the use of previously introduced programming constructs, this volume helps students learn basic programming abilities, and provides them with the confidence necessary for carrying out more sophisticated analyses.

This book covers innate immune responses, adaptive immunity, the immunology of menstruation, the immunology of viral and bacterial infections, the immunology of normal and abnormal pregnancy and immunological infertility. Includes tables and illustrations.

Currently the only reference book available on this powerful site characterization technique in hydrogeology, this comprehensive volume covers the method's theoretical and practical aspects, now extended to analyze soils, sediments and surface water bodies.

This book is a first sketch of what the overall field of performance could look like as a modern scientific field but not its stylistically differentiated practice, pedagogy, and history.

This upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate textbook primarily covers the theory and application of Newtonian and Lagrangian, but also of Hamiltonian mechanics. Numerous examples illustrate the material and often present alternative approaches.

This text expands the author's doctoral dissertation, focusing on two issues: joint flexibility and kinematic redundancy. A number of effective controllers are developed in theory, based on consolidated approaches such as singular perturbation and passivity.

This is a thorough and comprehensive treatment of the theory of NP-completeness in the framework of algebraic complexity theory. Coverage includes Valiant's algebraic theory of NP-completeness; interrelations with the classical theory as well as the Blum-Shub-Smale model of computation, questions of structural complexity;
