Studies of ground state properties, electronic states and atomic vibrations for bulk semiconductors and their surfaces by the application of the pseudopotential method are discussed in this volume which considers available experimental results.
In this text, traditional concepts such as friction coefficients, adhesion, and elasticity and stick-slip are re-examined with the technique of friction force microscopy. Concepts based upon classical and quantum mechanics are investigated.
This volume describes the subject of electrodynamics at classical as well as quantum level, developed as an interaction at a distance. Thus it has electric charges interacting with one another directly and not through the medium of a field.
In this discussion of the development of a systematic engineering procedure for designing neural controllers for nonlinear dynamic systems, emphasis is put on development of sound theory of neural adaptive control, anchored in the engineering context of industrial practice.
Mathematical ecology is a subject which recently attracts the attentions of many mathematicians and biologists. One of the most important and fundamental mathematical models in ecology is of the Lotka-Volterra type. This text gives the global dynamical properties of L-V systems.
This text deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on reconstructive transformations in which a group-subgroup relationship between the symmetries of the phases is absent.
In this book, the author shows how the phenomenon of cell differentiation, considered in its temporal and spatial aspects during embryogenesis, provides a starting point for a unified theory of multicellular organisms, including their evolution and genetics.
Abandoning the intuitive continuum concepts in physics, the authors build up constructively a combinatorial mathematics of process. This change alone makes it possible to calculate... Læs mere
The first of two volumes on femtochemistry. Coverage includes: introductory reviews; basic concepts; applications - elementary and complex reactions; and solvation dynamics, non-reactive systems, ultrafast electron diffraction and the control of chemical reactions.
The primary aim of this book is to provide a systematic development of the theory of metric spaces of normal, upper semicontinuous fuzzy convex fuzzy sets with compact support sets.
Examines the theory of infinite-order linear and nonlinear differential operators with several real arguments and their applications to problems of partial differential equations and numerical analysis.
Sets out to determine whether current methods for the administration of chemotherapy are optimal, and if alternative regimens should be... Læs mere
