Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by University of Oviedo, Spain.Is the first book to address the modeling of size effects in metal plasticity.Proposes a general framework for crack tip assessmen.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to numerical modeling of size effects in metal plasticity. The main classes of strain gradient plasticity formulations are described and efficiently implemented in the context of the finite element method. A robust numerical framework is presented and employed to investigate the role of strain gradients on structural integrity assessment.

Overview: A rare academic study on what John Rawls, Peter Singer and Derek Parfit acknowledge as the finest book in ethics – The Methods of Ethics. With a rather shocking conclusion that ‘none of us can match Sidgwick‘, Mariko Nakano-Okuno lucidly analyzes Henry Sidgwick‘s impacts on contemporary ethics.978-1-349-34049-1978-0-230-34294-1

Overview: Of all major branches of organic chemistry, I think none has undergone such a rapid, even explosive, development during the past twenty-five years as organic photochemistry. Prior to about 1960, photochemistry was still widely regarded as a branch of physical chemistry which might perhaps have oc­ casional applications in the generation of free radicals. Strangely enough, this attitude to the subject had developed despite such early signs of promise as the photodimerization of anthracene first observed by Fritzsche in 1866, and some strikingly original pioneering work by Ciamician an

Spectrometers of the latest generation offer new types of experiments, such as spinlock and inverse-detected methods. In this third, revised and expanded edition, new methodology is introduced and incorporated into new exercises. In addition, a new chapter has been introduced which demonstrates

Overview: Outlines novel contributions on the statistical modeling of recent multimodality imaging data from Neuroscience.Includes a contribution by experts on Statistics for Neuroscience, discussing new and reThis volume presents a collection of peer-reviewed contributions arising from StartUp Research: a stimulating research experience in which twenty-eight early-career researchers collaborated with seven senior international professors in order to develop novel statistical methods for complex brain imaging data. During this meeting, which was held on June 25–27, 2017 in Siena (Italy), the r

Overview: Introduces readers to circulant and regular structures together with definitions from graph products.Provides valuable insights into the analysis of large-scale space structures, like domes, grids, anThis book proposes and validates a number of methods and shortcuts for frugal engineers, which will allow them to significantly reduce the computational costs for analysis and reanalysis and, as a result, for structural design processes. The need for accuracy and speed in analyzing structural systems with ever-tighter design tolerances and larger numbers of elements has been relentlessly

Overview: Detailed account of the slack-variable approach to the increasingly popular study of linear-matrix-inequality-based control.Easily understandable exposition provides an entry path for non-experts to t.This book shows how the use of S-variables (SVs) in enhancing the range of problems that can be addressed with the already-versatile linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach to control can, in many cases, be put on a more unified, methodical footing. Beginning with the fundamentals of the SV approach, the text shows how the basic idea can be used for each problem (and when it should not

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Statistical Physics bridges the properties of a macroscopic system and the microscopic behavior of its constituting particles, otherwise impossible due to the giant magnitude of Avogadro‘s number. Numerous systems of today‘s key technologies - such as semiconductors or lasers - are macroscopic quantum objects; only statistical physics allows for understanding their fundamentals. Therefore, this graduate text also focuses on particular applications such as the properties of electrons in solids with applications, and radiation thermodynamics and the gr

Overview: The symposium In the next decades, agriculture will have to cope with an ever-increasing demand for food and raw basic materials on the one hand, and with the necessity to use resources without further degrading or exhausting the environment on the other hand, and all this within a dynamic framework of social and economic conditions. Intensification, sustainability, optimizing scarce resources, and climate change are among the key issues. Organized thinking about future farming requires forecasting of consequences of alternative ways to farm and to develop agriculture. The complexity
