Geotectonics has a special place among the geological dis ciplines. The fluidity of the general ideas and the need for joint consideration of the geological, geophysical, and geochemi cal data to substantiate these ideas are the main difficulties facing the author of a textbook on geotectonics.

The idea for publishing these books on the mechanism of action and on the biosynthesis of antibiotics was born of frustration in our attempts to keep abreast of the literature. One concept for the books was that they include only antibiotics for which a definitive, well-documented mechanism of action or biosynthetic pathway was known.

Systematically analyzing for the first time the production output from electricity consumption for enterprises, sectors, and industries, this study uses the function of EAI (electricity as input), and includes national E-GDP figures for more than 20 countries.

Employing a variety of panel data regression techniques, this book provides readers with new findings that shed light on the effects of openness on China's regional economic growth and the evolution of the country's interregional disparities.

This book offers a comprehensive review of cysticercosis of the human nervous system. It details clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management as well as explains the role of modern neuroimaging and serologic techniques.

The most recent advances in research on coastal saline soil rehabilitation and utilization based on forestry approach are discussed. The forestry approach is emphasized rather than physical or engineering measures to ameliorate saline soils, which is significant for coastal environmental improvement and land resources expansion.

This book presents a state-of-the-art quality model for continuous software quality control. It illustrates the application of techniques and methodologies using numerous real-world examples.

This book details the most frequent indications for laparoscopy in children as well as diagnostic criteria. Each operation is systematically described and illustrated, providing the reader with the required technical guidelines to perform laparoscopy safely.

In its updated edition, this book covers disturbances in tooth formation, acquired dental diseases including caries and its sequelae, periodontal disease, odontogenic tumors and more. Adds 50% more images, and new guidance on diagnostically difficult cases.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of iptycene chemistry, from properties to synthesis, from preparation to derivatives, to applications in materials science, coordination chemistry, physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and more.

This book describes advanced circuits and techniques around 24GHz for radar applications. It includes a presentation of the design, implementation, and characterization of microwave receiver circuits in CMOS and SiGe bipolar technologies.

Providing a concise introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM), this volume presents an overview of the leading method in computer-oriented mechanics. Readers will learn how to implement equations of continuum mechanics into FEM, as well as how to program their own models of materials.

Aimed at the field geologist working without technical support, this book covers textural recognition, beginning with infill, alteration and overprinting and ending with a detailed examination of textures associated with tectonic and intrusive breccias.

In this book selected aerothermodynamic design problems in hypersonic vehicles are treated. Where applicable, it emphasizes the fact that outer surfaces of hypersonic vehicles primarily are radiation-cooled, an interdisciplinary topic with many implications.

In his autobiography, Martens offers the inside story of running a complex country like Belgium, fighting for European unification, and transforming the European People's Party into a united centre-right movement and leading European political family.

This book gives a synthetic presentation of the research performed in the field of sheet metal forming simulation during more than twenty years by the members of three teams: the Research Centre on Sheet Metal Forming, AUTOFORM and VOLVO.

This is a comprehensive and scientifically underpinned overview of the biocompatibility of dental materials. Up-to-date concepts of biocompatibility assessment are discussed, as well as information on almost all material groups used in dentistry practice.

As technology improves, so does the sophistication of driving simulators. Meanwhile, as the volume of traffic increases, simulators are being seen as a real addition to the driving trainer's armory. This book explains the basics of education and training using simulators and their ability to improve safety on our streets.

This book presents comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the wide field of concentrated vortices observed in nature and technique. The authors have described models of vortex structures used for interpretation of experimental data which serve as a ground for development of theoretical and numerical approaches to vortex investigation.

This book provides an introduction into the mechanics of faulting in the brittle crust of the Earth.
