Overview: Contrary to the existing literature this book focusses on the basic physical ideas and mathematical methods giving all the necessary details.Includes supplementary material: This book grew out of the senior level lecture course I teach at Delft Univer­ sity and which I have taught in recent years at Eindhoven University and the University of Utrecht. Numerous discussions with students and colleagues led me to the conclusion that in spite of the existence of excellent books on the statistical theory of fluids, there is a gap between the fundamental theory and application of its concep

Overview: Written by respected experts from around the globe.Covers the most important diagnostic, clinical and treatment aspects of sarcopenia.Offers a valuable guide for all readers interested in sarcopenia, .This book offers a concise and updated guide for all readers (physicians and non-physicians) interested in gaining a comprehensive and precise understanding of sarcopenia. ..Over the last several years, sarcopenia has increasingly developed from being a concept known only in research settings to one that is commonly explored in journals and scientific meetings for various disciplines, s

Overview: Structural clay products have had a place in the history of civilization like bread and cloth. Probably because the industry has been so commonplace in the lives of people, 1ittle has been written about it; even the history of its development is sketchy. There is no other book quite like this in publication at present, and it is prompted now because much general scientific knowledge can be, and is, applied to the manufacture of structural clay products. This book is an attempt to bring together in one place the basic sciences that can be useful in all of the processes and experiences

Overview: Presents industrial applications of an abundant, natural product in medicine, energy, agriculture, textiles and pollution remediation.Clear presentation of chitin and chitosan basics.Contains a uniqueThis book reviews recent research and applications of chitin and chitosan, as natural alternatives of fossil fuel products, in green chemistry, energy, biotechnology, bioprinting, medicine, water treatment, agriculture and food science. Chitin and chitosan products are polysaccharides derived from food waste of crustaceans and fungi, and thus are cheap, abundant, sustainable, non-toxic,

Overview: Features multiple case studies that illustrate the SNP analysis process.Provides a guide with illustrative examples to using databases of SNPs their role in human variation.Offers a unique broad surve.This book explores the importance of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in biomedical research. As SNP technologies have evolved from labor intensive, expensive, time-consuming processes to relatively inexpensive methods, SNP discovery has exploded. In terms of human biology, this research, particularly since the completion of the Human Genome Project, has provided a detailed unders

Overview: Die Fortführung der größten Stadtstudie weltweitDie vierte stadtsoziologische Untersuchung der 1938 gegründeten Stadt Wolfsburg führt eine in Deutschland einmalige Langzeituntersuchung fort. Im Mittelpunkt der neuen Studie steht die Stadtentwicklungsphase, in der in Wolfsburg versucht wurde, über den Bau erlebnisorientierter Großprojekte den Charakter und das Image der Stadt neu zu bestimmen. In keiner anderen Stadt ist dieser ‚Festivalisierungsansatz‘ einerseits so konsequent und insofern auch paradigmatisch, andererseits aber auch so ortsspezifisch verfolgt worden. Die Untersuchung

Overview: The history of scientific research and technological development is replete with examples of breakthroughs that have advanced the frontiers of knowledge, but seldom does it record events that constitute paradigm shifts in broad areas of intellectual pursuit. One notable exception, however, is that of spin electronics (also called spintronics, magnetoelectronics or magnetronics), wherein information is carried by electron spin in addition to, or in place of, electron charge. It is now well established in scientific and engineering communities that Moore‘s Law, having been an excellent
