This thesis introduces the preparation of a series of Mg-based thin films with different structures using magnetron sputtering, as well as the systematical investigation of their gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage properties under mild conditions.

This thesis focuses onchalcogenide compoundquantum dots with special crystal structures and behaviors inan effort to achieve the synergistic optimization of electrical andthermal transport for high-efficiency thermoelectric materials.

This book examines green management practices among top-performing companies operating on the Chinese mainland. Through in-depth interviews with sustainability leaders and top executives, this Green Management Book will reveal how to systematically create or improve existing green management strategies in China.

Motion in the Condensed State, Condis Crystals and their Relation to Plastic Crystals, Condis Crystals of Flexible Macromolecules, Condis Crystals and their Relation to Liquid Crystals, Condis Crystals of Stiff Macromolecules.

The recent discovery that the long range Van der Waals force is the cause of the unusually large cross-sections for diffuse He-scattering on individual defects and impurities led the authors to propose a new methods of surface analysis.

In dem Band werden die Grundlagen der Programmierung f r die statistische Datenanalyse vermittelt. Eine breite Palette von Analyseverfahren und ihre Umsetzung als SAS-Programm werden vorgestellt - unter besonderer Ber cksichtigung der grafischen Aufbereitung.

Photoproduction of pions from complex nuclei has become an investigative tool for (1) the detailed form of the elementary photopion amplitude, (2) the pion-nucleus optical potential, (3) nuclear structure, and (4) off-shell and medium effects on the elementary amplitude in nuclear processes.

This implies that these adsorption parameters have relevance not only for swelling and drying of polymers, but also for other phenomena in which molecular sorption plays an important role, such as in chromatography and in membrane permeation.

This book deals with the application of grazing angle x-rayand neutron scattering to the study of surface-inducedcritical phenomena.

This book examines the requirements needed to ensure safety in human-robot coexistence. It focuses on the biomechanical level of injury assessment, addresses the physical evaluation of robot-human impacts and isolates major factors that cause human injuries.

Surface Scattering Experiments with Conduction Electronsshows how this process can be used to investigate surfaceprocesses of thin metal films. Also discussed is how thedc-resistivity measurement permits the study of surfaceprocesses such as adsorption, desorption, and surfacediffusion up to crystalline growth.

This completely revised and enlarged English edition of theoriginal Russianbook deals with the identification andseparation of charged particles in high energy physicsexperiments. Proportional drift and streamer chambers aswell as ionization measurements with cloud, spark, andionization chambers are discussed.

This book presents the methodology and techniques of thermographic applications with a primarily focus on medical thermography implemented for parametrizing the diagnostics of the human body.

This book provides readers with a solid set of diversified and essential tools for the theoretical modeling and control of complex robotic systems as well as for digital human modeling and realistic motion generation.

After providing the reader with a theoretical background, the author illustrates the specific properties of three-dimensionally confined semiconductors, such as the size dependence of energy states, optical transitions, and dephasing mechanisms with the results from numerous experiments in linear and nonlinear spectroscopy.

Das Lehrbuch fuhrt grundlegend und systematisch in die Konzepte, Methoden und Ablaufe des Marketings ein. Jedes Hauptkapitel bietet zur Veranschaulichung eine Fallstudie, in der managementbezogene Fragen beschrieben und problemorientiert analysiert werden.

The knowledge of the interactions of photons with hadrons has considerably improved with the study of high-energy lepton-proton collisions at HERA. The results on the partonic interactions of photons are summarized in comparison with photon-nucleon, two-photon, and proton-antiproton experiments.

The book provides a review of the hadronic final state measurements at HERA in deep inelastic scattering. It covers general event properties, particle spectra, heavy flavours, jets, event shape measurements, QCD instantons and small-x physics.

This book surveys in detail the theory of electromagnetic wave scattering on single, homogeneous, but nonspherical particles. The second edition adds material on group theoretical considerations for nonspherical particles with boundary symmetries and more.

The optoacoustic method has by now an almost one-centurY-long history of appl ication in spectroscopy, but it was only with the advent of the laser that it became a convenient and effective method among the vast family of spectroscopy techniques.

Images are ubiquitous. The bottom of a water glass, too, can be made to produce an optical image, wildly distorted perhaps, but nevertheless recognizable as an optical image.

I hope that this book will be useful to both practising and prospective workers in the field, since it contains an up-to-date catalogue of measurements of the main properties of submillimetre lasers as well as an introductory review of the measurement techniques themselves.

Robots can't climb trees. Or can they? This volume features the work of leading experts who have tackled this kinematic conundrum, with motion analysis of tree-climbing animals and details of a novel robot engineered as a result of this research.

Single-mode fibers are the most advanced means of transmitting information, since they provide extremely low attenuation and very high bandwidths. How ever, waveguiding in single-mode fibers is much more difficult to understand than waveguiding in copper lines.
