This book presents a complete and comprehensive analysis of the behaviour of granular materials including the description of experimental results, the different ways to define the global behaviour from local phenomena at the particle scale, the various modellings which can be used for a D.E.M.

During the past decades, "Dynamics of the singing voice" has successfully been established as a reference text for teachers of singing, singers, choral conductors and organists, speech and voice therapists, laryngologists and other health professionals, psychologists and those in linguistics.

Biological adhesives are heavily researched for their potential replication. This book first describes and compares chemical-related bonding systems of plants and animals and then provides an overview of the practical implementation of biological glues.

The book deals with modern methods of nonlinear stability theory applied to problems of continuous media mechanics in the presence of interfaces, with applications to materials science, chemical engineering, heat transfer technologies, as well as in combustion and other reaction-diffusion systems.

The articles in the book treat flow instability and transition starting with classical material dealt with in an innovative and rigorous way, some newer physical mechanisms explained for the first time and finally with the very complex topic of bombustion and two-phase flow instabilities.

New information and strategies for managing the energy crisis from the perspective of growing economies are presented. As a result, many unique strategies to the problems of energy management an conservation, environmental engineering, clean technologies, biological and chemical waste treatment and waste management have been developed.

Europe?s outstanding development and positioning in the space ?eld is based not only on Europe?s successful engineering and scienti?c capabilities and capacities, but also on the forceful political determination of all European actors to maintain and even further their engagement in the use of outer space.

This book describes the forecasting and risk evaluation of tsunamis by tectonic motion, land slides, explosions, run-up, and maps the tsunami sources in the world's oceans. It presents stochastic Monte-Carlo simulations and focusing mechanisms for rogue waves, nonlinear wave models, breather formulas, and the kinematics of the Draupner wave.

This book introduces the basic tools used in the mechanical design of microsystems, the fabrication methods for these systems, and several applications of this technology. The links between micro- and nanotechnologies are also discussed and light is shed on the potential applications of microsystems to nano-scale manipulation of matter.

The authors of this volume present a wide spectrum of theories, methods and applications related to inverse and parameter identification problems. Fedele 55 Identification of damage in beam and plate structures using parameter dependent modal changes and thermographic methods by Z.

Poromechanics is the mechanics of porous materials and is an established field in many engineering disciplines. This book aims to present an approach that links the physics of the phenomena in porous materials and the macroscopic behaviour. It also presents an introduction to homogenization theories to a range of real life porous materials.

The first is that of practical design direction in which methods for analyzing specific stability problems related to some specific structural typologies are developed.

Although nonlinear waves occur in nearly all branches of physics and engi neering, there is an amazing degree of agreement about the fundamental con cepts and the basic paradigms.

Der rasch zunehmende Wissensstand auf dem Gebiet der angeborenen, unspezi- schen Immunität wird laufend in einer Vielfalt ausgezeichneter Monographien fest- halten, in denen hervorragende Wissenschafter ihr Fachgebiet zusammenfassen und eigene Forschungsergebnisse präsentieren. Diese Sammelwerke setzen indessen zu ihrem Verständnis ein so hohes Maß an Spezialkenntnissen voraus, dass sie einem - dizinisch-biologischen Standardwissen kaum zugänglich sind. Lehrmaterial, das die Grundlagen zu diesem Gebiet der Immunologie zusammenhängend vermittelt, fehlt hingegen zur Gänze. Das vorliegende Buch soll diese Lücke schließen. Ein Autor, der sich die Aufgabe stellt, das Basiswissen über die Unspezi? sche - munität und ihre Bedeutung in der modernen Medizin zu formulieren und in ein - schlossenes Lehrkonzept zu fassen, sieht sich vor allem drei grundsätzlichen Fragen gegenüber: an wen sind die Inhalte gerichtet, welches Wissen wird vorausgesetzt, und welcher Wissensstand soll erreicht werden? Zielgruppen dieser Darstellung sind Studierende der Heilfächer Medizin, Phar- kologie und Pharmazie, aber auch solche der Biologie, Biochemie, Molekularbiologie und Mikrobiologie, die ein übergreifendes Wissen zur Medizin anstreben. Darüber hinaus mag das Buch auch für Postgraduierte von Nutzen sein, die ihr Wissen auff- schen wollen und einen leicht fassbaren Übergang zu schwierigen Problemstellungen in Klinik und Forschung suchen. Vorausgesetzt werden Kenntnisse, wie sie an Universitäten in den theoretischen Grundsemestern biowissenschaftlicher Studienrichtungen vermittelt werden.

Non destructive testing aimed at monitoring, structural identification and di- nostics is of strategic importance in many branches of civil and mechanical - gineering. Particularly, by measuring structural response, they provide guidance on the validation of structural descriptions or of the mathematical models of material behaviour.

Rapid shearing flow of granular materials lead to constitutive relations for the stresses which incorporate rate independent behavior of Mohr-Coulomb type together with dispersive stress contributions due to particle collisions.

Marketing steigert die Zufriedenheit Ihrer Patienten und stärkt die Bindung. Prägnant und übersichtlich schildert die Autorin das erforderliche Know-how für den gelungenen Marketingprozess. Anhand von Praxis- und Fallbeispielen aus dem Beratungsalltag macht sie verständlich wie Praxismarketing funktioniert. Plus: Methoden und Instrumente, um sich im Wettbewerb künftig erfolgreich zu behaupten; praxisnahe Tipps und übersichtliche Checklisten.

Conceived as a reference manual for practicing engineers, instrument designers, service technicians and engineering students. Historical anecdotes as far back as Hellenistic times to modern scientists help illustrate in an entertaining manner ideas ranging from impractical inventions in history to those that have changed our lives.

The book comprises chapters dealing with important aspects of fieldbus technology and reflecting areas of main activity in science and industry: real-time aspects, networking, management, OPC, system aspects, realization, protocol specifications (supplements to introduced fieldbus systems), validation, profile development (i.

This pragmatic book provides a detailed overview of prominent procedures of algorithmic composition. In addition to an historic overview, each chapter presents a specific class of algorithm in a compositional context.

A comprehensive treatment of the characterisation techniques used in investigating inorganic and organic molecules that interact with biomolecules is presented to the reader in a clear fashion. Chapters are devoted to the synthesis and the techniques used to study the interactions of inorganic complexes with biomolecules.

Papers presented at the 20th CFIF fall workshop held in Lisbon, Portugal, in October/November 2002. The topics range from electron-nucleus scattering, meson production, relativistic effects, structure of nucleons and of light nuclei, to heavy-ion collisions.

This book is dedicated to fundamental concepts, problems and methods of structural stability along with qualitative understanding of instability phenomena. Recent exciting experiments on dynamic stability of non-conservative systems are described and shown by many photographs.
