Overview: Focuses on micromechanics of ceramic-matrix composites at elevated temperatures.Proposes micromechanics damage models of ceramic-matrix composites at elevated temperatures.Explains micro damage mechanCeramic-matrix composites (CMCs) possess high specific strength and modulus at elevated temperature, and have already been applied in hot-section components in aero-engines. To ensure the operation reliability and safety of CMCs components, it is necessary to understand the micro damage mechanisms and internal damage state in the composites. This book focuses on the micromechanics of CMC

Overview: Bridges the gap between nuclear medicine and the related methods developed in nuclear physicsMethods involving nuclear physics are today finding applications in many disciplines, including important areas of medicine. This book intends to bridge the gap between the many applications in medicine and the underlying basic nuclear physics which needs to be understood by those applying the methods. In addition, those active in nuclear science will gain insight into the manifold applications of their subject. The main topics of the book are: physical foundations, instrumentation, diagnosti

Overview: The increase in the requirements on the reliability of units makes it necessary to analyze the relationship between mathematicalmeth­ ods of calculating reliability and the physical nature of fail­ ures. The difficulty of such an analysis is obvious. On the one hand, in making a representation of the physical picture of a phe­ nomenon, one can make an error in the direction of excessive sim­ plification. On the other hand, in the mathematical treatment of the physical scheme, it may be necessary to use extremely complex and fine analytical methods, and their simplified exposition bor

Overview: Describes discrete and continous time modeling and simulation.Presentation on an engineering student level.With examples and more than 50 embedded case studies from all engineering disciplines.Mathematical and Computational Modeling and Simulation - a highly multi-disciplinary field with ubiquitous applications in science and engineering - is one of the key enabling technologies of the 21st century.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key components for the aggregation of microorganisms in biofilms, flocs and sludge. They are composed of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and other biological macromolecules. EPS provide a highly hydrated gel matrix in which microbial cells can establish stable synergistic consortia. Cohesion and adhesion as well as morphology, structure, biological function and other properties such as mechanical stability, diffusion, sorption and optical properties of microbial aggregates are

Overview: Brings together in one book: research on multiple representations in physics education from physicists, physics educators, psychologists and teacher students in this discipline.The research results anThis volume is important because despite various external representations, such as analogies, metaphors, and visualizations being commonly used by physics teachers, educators and researchers, the notion of using the pedagogical functions of multiple representations to support teaching and learning is still a gap in physics education. The research presented in the three sections of the bo

Overview: Mass spectrometry today is an indispensable tool in chemistry and life sciences.Designed for students and professionals as well as novices to organic mass spectrometry from other fields.Fills the gap When non-mass spectrometrists are talking about mass spectrometry it rather often sounds as if they were telling a story out of Poe‘s Tales of Mystery and Imagi- tion. Indeed, mass spectrometry appears to be regarded as a mysterious method, just good enough to supply some molecular weight information. Unfortunately, this rumor about the dark side of analytical methods reaches students mu

Overview: Computer-based mathematical modeling - the technique of representing and managing models in machine-readable form - is still in its infancy despite the many powerful mathematical software packages already available which can solve astonishingly complex and large models. On the one hand, using mathematical and logical notation, we can formulate models which cannot be solved by any computer in reasonable time - or which cannot even be solved by any method. On the other hand, we can solve certain classes of much larger models than we can practically handle and manipulate without heavy p

Overview: Huge economic losses from natural disasters, including nearly100 000 fatalities world wide in 1999 alone, gave rise to a renewedrecognition by government, industry and the public that nationalgovernments and international agencies cannot simply go on as theyhave in the past. Changes in financial cover, better enforcementprocedures for building standards, better business contingencyplanning, and well developed emergency response were demanded from allsides. In this volume an international group of experts present recentresearch on the variety of approaches adopted by different countri
