Overview: Although there are many papers and proceedings of specialized conferences on atmospheric icing, none of these distil the results sufficiently to support a line design process.Overhead design practitio.Atmospheric ice takes a wide range of fascinating forms, all beautiful in their own ways but many posing severe risk to the security of overhead networks for electric power, communications and other systems. This comprehensive book documents the fundamentals of atmospheric icing and surveys the state of the art in eight chapters, each written by a team of experienced and internationally

Overview: Combines tools from potential theory, large deviations, Schwinger-Dyson equations, and Riemann-Hilbert techniques, and presents them in the same framework.Derives all concepts and results from scratchThis book elaborates on the asymptotic behaviour, when N is large, of certain N-dimensional integrals which typically occur in random matrices, or in 1+1 dimensional quantum integrable models solvable by the quantum separation of variables. The introduction presents the underpinning motivations for this problem, a historical overview, and a summary of the strategy, which is applicable in

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by Johns Hopkins University.Provides an overview of the history and context of the Standard Model and experimental searches for the Higgs boson at LHC.Describes This thesis develops fundamental ideas and advanced techniques for studying the Higgs boson’s interactions with the known matter and force particles. The Higgs boson appears as an excitation of the Higgs field, which permeates the vacuum. Several other phenomena in our Universe, such as dark energy, dark matter, and the abundance of matter over antimatter, remain unexplained. The Higgs f

Overview: Offers a practical guide to the appointment, promotion, and tenure process for clinical faculty members employed by medical schools.Provides insights and recommendations on career planning and academiThis book is a practical guide to the appointment, promotion, and tenure (APT) process for clinical faculty members employed by medical schools.

Overview: Digital measurement of the analog acoustical parameters of a music performance hall is difficult. The aim of such work is to create a digital acoustical derivation that is an accurate numerical representation of the complex analog characteristics of the hall. The present study describes the exponential sine sweep (ESS) measurement process in the derivation of an acoustical impulse response function (AIRF) of three music performance halls in Canada. It examines specific difficulties of the process, such as preventing the external effects of the measurement transducers from corrupting
