An understanding of the collisions between micro-particles is important for a number of fields belonging to physics, chemistry, astrophysics, biophysics and so forth. This work develops a theory for electron-atom and molecule collisions using non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
A collection of 17 papers by authors from diverse backgrounds dealing with multi-disciplinary research on the Patagonian ice fields. The main emphasis is glaciology, climatology and paleoclimatology, with contributions in glacier ecology, microbiology and aerosols.
The phenomenon of spontaneous ordering is observed to occur spontaneously during epitaxial growth of certain ternary alloy semiconductors and results in a... Læs mere

The inner core consists mostly of iron and its temperature is about 5000 kelvin, whereas the liquid outer core is turbulent, rotates faster than the mantle, consists primarily of iron, and is the source of the Earth's magnetic field.
This text gives a brief account of the crystal structure of both the pure metals and metals with impurities. Physical effects produced by impurities in metals are... Læs mere
The purpose of this book is to review key topics of marine mammal science through chapters on the major disciplines from invited authorities around the world. It has an ecological and conservation emphasis.
Elastic filaments refer mainly to titin, the largest known protein. Discovered initially in muscle cells, it forms a molecular spring that is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of contracting muscle, ensuring efficient muscle contraction.

This volume starts with a review of RAS pathways and how they impinge on the cell cycle. It then presents an overview of the links between cell anchorage - cytoskeleton and cell cycle progression - and a model of the G1 control in mammalian cells is also provided.
This volume presents and reviews trends and developments in the following active areas of research in atomic and molecular physics: structure and properties of clusters; atomic dynamics in intense laser fields, (e, 2e); and photoionization processes.
