Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Science and Technology of China.Presents a comprehensive study on the compression/superheating limit and phase transition of 2D water/ice In this book, the authors use molecular dynamics simulations to conduct a comprehensive study of the compression/superheating limit and phase transition of 2D (monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer) water/ice constrained in graphene nanocapillaries. When subjected to nanoscale confinement and under ultrahigh pressure, water and ice behave quite differently than their bulk counterparts, partly

Overview: Dealing with high-stakes risk potentials is dependent on getting to grips with easy to understand, yet difficult to apply, criteria for decision. With a fresh, honest approach, this book shows why scientific assessments of catastrophic risk based on averages don‘t work, and sets the stage for making the tough choice between precaution and fatalism.978-1-349-28482-5978-0-230-62765-9

The meeting began with four workshops which offered an ideal opportunity to explore specific topics in intelligent transportation Workshop, landscape-aware heuristic search, natural computing in scheduling and timetabling, and advances in multi-modal optimization. .PPSN XIV also

Overview: Focuses on changes of language in the history of mathematics.Introduces exact tools of formal logic for the reconstruction of the historical development of the language of mathematics.Offers two ratheKvasz’s book is a contribution to the history and philosophy of mat- matics, or, as one might say, the historical approach to the philosophy of mathematics. This approach is for mathematics what the history and philosophy of science is for science. Yet the historical approach to the philosophy of science appeared much earlier than the historical approach to the philosophy of mathematics.

Overview: Standard Reference Book with selected and easily retrievable data from the fields of physics and chemistry collected by acknowledged international scientists.Includes supplementary material: The magnetic properties of oxides with perovskite, corundum, ilmenite and amorphous structures have been compiled in subvolume 27F. Part 27F2, published in 1994, presents magnetic data on perovskite-type layered cuprates which were discovered to show superconductivity with critical temperatures above 40 K (high-T.c .superconductors). The present volume 27F2S is an update and extension of 27F2 wit

Overview: A diversity of scholarly perspectives provides an unique overview of important Supreme Court precedent.Contributions by top legal scholars makes this the "go-to" reference on the topic.Provides a compThis volume presents a variety of both normative and descriptive perspectives on the use of precedent by the United States Supreme Court. It brings together a diverse group of American legal scholars, some of whom have been influenced by the Segal/Spaeth "attitudinal" model and some of whom have not. The group of contributors includes legal theorists and empiricists, constitutional lawye

Overview: As editor of the two-part Volume V on photosynthesis in RUHLAND‘S Encyclopedia, the forerunner of this series published in 1960, I have been approached by the editors of the present volume to provide a short preface. The justification for following this suggestion lies in the great changes which have been taking place in biology in the two decades between these publications, changes which are reflected in the new editorial plan. Twenty years ago it appeared convenient and formally easy to consider photo­ synthesis as a clearly separated field of research, which could be dealt with un

Overview: Promotes a clear understanding of concrete digital computation.Establishes the fundamental role of computation in modern cognitive science, while rejecting the extrinsically representational nature of.This book presents a study of digital computation in contemporary cognitive science. Digital computation is a highly ambiguous concept, as there is no common core definition for it in cognitive science. Since this concept plays a central role in cognitive theory, an adequate cognitive explanation requires an explicit account of digital computation.. .More specifically, it requires an ac

Overview: Presents an overview of wind power generation technology.Examines the economics of wind energy.Includes case studies.The continuous increase of wind power penetration levels in Egypt makes wind a critical component of power generation in the grid. Studying wind power quality issues and the interaction between wind turbines and the grid is necessary and imperative.
