Provides the reader with an explanation of the origin and establishment of quantum mechanics together with a descriptive survey of developments up to this day.

Slow Light is a popular treatment of today's astonishing breakthroughs in the science of light. Even though we don't understand light's quantum mysteries, we can slow it to a stop and speed it up beyond its Einsteinian speed limit, 186,000 miles/sec. This title shows how the real science and the fantasy inspire each other.

Presents the developments in characterization and application of supported metals in heterogeneous catalysis. This book includes coverage of the traditional aspects of heterogeneous catalysis such as preparation, characterization and use in well-established technologies such as Naphtha reforming.

Includes a presentation of a qualitative theory of chemical bonding stressing the physical processes which occur on bond formation. This title does not seek to rationalize the phenomena of bonding by a series of mnemonic rules. It presents a unified and consistent treatment across all types of bonding in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.

Importance of clinical neurology, became globally recognised through the work of Whytt, Heberden, Hughlings Jackson, Gowers and many others. This title includes the work and discoveries of these eminent specialists and extends with the introduction of such neurosciences as neurophysiology, neuropathology and neuro-radiology.

Summarizes the developments in the use of the materials and technologies in healthcare. This title focuses on the approaches that incorporate bioactive materials and scaffolds with cells in the technologies of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It discusses the incorporation of nanotechnology, stem cells, and gene control of cells.

Deals with the birth and growth of quantum mechanics. This book explains the classical dilemma which faced physics at the start of the 20th Century and goes on to show how quantum mechanics emerged and flourished.

Focuses on the functional significance of targeting apoptosis for the treatment of prostate cancer. This title introduces various concepts on the challenges relating to the development of resistance by androgen-independent tumors, in terms of the contribution of anoikis and cross-talk of androgens with key growth factor signaling pathways.

This work covers two topics in detail: Fourier analysis, with emphasis on positivity and also on some function spaces and multiplier theorems; and one-parameter operator semigroups with emphasis on Feller semigroups and Lp-sub-Markovian semigroups. In addition, Dirichlet forms are treated.

A review of the effect of fracture on life, following the development of the understanding of fracture. After a short introduction to fracture, it covers the effects of fracture on the evolution of the Earth, plants and animals, and man, as well as the largely empirical control of fracture from ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century.

Over the years, various research fields utilizing microfluidics have been formed. General micro-integration methods were proposed, and the supporting fundamental technologies were widely developed. These methodologies have made various applications in the fields of analytical and chemical synthesis. This title deals with these topics.

The power of electrochemical measurements in respect of thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis is widely recognized but the subject can be unpredictable to the novice even if they have a strong physical and chemical background. This book presents problems and worked solutions for a wide range of theoretical and experimental subjects in voltammetry.

Based on a non-specialist graduate lecture course given at University College London (UCL), this title provides an introduction to the fast growing world of derivative investments and the technology used in their design, pricing and structuring.

Armin G Stromberg was arguably one of the founding fathers of the technique of stripping voltammetry frequently used in chemical analysis, yet he is virtually unheard of in Western Scientific circles. This title presents the complete set of 74 surviving letters written by Stromberg to his wife during the second world war.

Presents a general introduction to applied analysis, vector analysis with physical motivation, calculus of variation, Fourier analysis, eigenfunction expansion, distribution, and so forth, including a catalogue of mathematical theories, such as basic analysis, topological spaces, complex function theory, real analysis, and abstract analysis.

Focuses on the interactions between mathematics, physics, biology, and neuroscience by exploring geometrical and topological modeling in these fields. This book highlights the central roles played by multilevel and scale-change approaches in these disciplines.

Presents a comprehensive survey of the development of the theory of scale relativity and fractal space-time.

Syngas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon oxides which can be made from hydrocarbons, coal and biomass. It is an important intermediate in the chemical industry for manufacture of ammonia, methanol and other petrochemicals as well as hydrogen for refineries and fuel cells. This book provides a general overview of syngas technologies.

Focuses on what can be learned about protein-protein interactions from the analysis of protein-protein complex structures and interfaces. This title intends to serves as a bridge between studying/analyzing protein-protein complex structures (interfaces), predicting interactions, and influencing/designing interactions.

Presents an introduction to practical aspects of atomic-resolution imaging in aberration-corrected electron microscopy. This book addresses advances in electron optical instrumentation used for ultra-high resolution imaging in materials and nano-science.
