In its second edition, this book reviews progress in the study of hydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer in laminar free convection, accelerating film boiling and condensation of Newtonian fluids, and accelerating film flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluids.

methods and techniques for synthesis, characterization, processing and modification of polymers.....The authors have noted the following changes from previous editions- a new section on correlations of structure, morphology and properties;

Managerial support is often the biggest impediment to the successful adoption of Agile in organizations. This book comprehensively sets forth what Agile means to an organization and, crucially, the manager's role in making a success of Agile corporate culture.

Statistical methodology is a key element in physics research. Here, expert contributors cover the latest techniques as well as providing a thorough introduction to the field in general. The volume includes cutting-edge topics such as filters and wavelets.

Solid waste is not just an issue for city authorities, but also for doctors, psychologists, economists, and climatologists, among others. This new book covers the full panoply of topics in solid waste management and offers an overview of relevant literature.

Here is a clear, practical guide to gonioscopy, a differential diagnostic tool that permits assessment of the anterior chamber angle and correct classification of glaucoma as a basis for treatment. Coverage includes laser treatment, surgery and medication.

This book discusses all known cuprate superconductors, covering structure of cuprate HTSCs, critical currents, flux pinning, synthesis of HTSCs, proximity effect and SQUIDs, possible applications of high Tc superconductors and theories of superconductivity.

This comprehensive introduction to methods of 'intuitionistic' decision-making explains in detail a variety of models and approaches to interactive decision-making with intuitionistic fuzzy information, as well as systematic coverage of aggregation techniques.

This book examines how metasomatism influences and helps to control both the evolution and stability of the crust and lithospheric mantle.

In this book, the author invites readers to explore the World of plants by raising interesting questions. It presents a world so very different from ours, much like the one Alice experiences in the white rabbit's warren.

This book examines the rapid development of the fundamental concept of a crime in international criminal law from a comparative law perspective.

This book covers the broad sweep of nanoscience and technology: terminology, historical perspectives of this scientific domain, unique and widely differing properties, advances in the various synthesis, consolidation and characterization techniques and more.

This book covers the essential aspects of radiation physics, radiobiology and clinical radiation oncology. It is designed to meet the needs of a large audience of examinees, using current McQ examination patterns helpful for both oral and written exams.

Here is an account of the life and work of Thomas Gold, one of the most remarkable astrophysicists in the second half of the 20th century. Based on Gold's autobiography, this book is edited by the Cambridge astrophysicist and science historian Simon Mitton.

This expanded autobiography of the theoretical physicist Isaak Khalatnikov, first head of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, describes life and work in the "golden age" of Soviet science. Many of the stories included are published here for the first time.

Based on the author's decades of industry experience, this book explores modern wind turbine technology, and associated technical, economic and environmental fields. The revised and expanded 2nd edition includes a new chapter on offshore wind utilization.

This book describes in step-by-step detail a unique, very precise operative technique that uses autologous cartilage/bone grafts for reconstruction of load-bearing joint surfaces and for dowelling of non-unions. Includes many high-quality illustrations.

This book examines two issues in mathematical and numerical modelling of flow in unsaturated porous media, discussing spatial discretization of highly nonlinear permeability coefficient, and large scale flow in heterogeneous porous media of binary stucture.

This abundantly illustrated atlas of MR imaging of the knee documents normal anatomy and a wide range of pathologies. Essential clinical information is presented in bullet point lists and diagnostic tips are included to assist in differential diagnosis.

Membrane Biophysics is tailored for readers who want to understand biological processes by applying both simple observations and scientific analysis. The text explores the causes and effects of membrane processes, and will eventually open new doors for pharmaceutical approaches to related diseases.

Here is a comprehensive yet concise reference guide to postsurgical neuroradiology. It will enable the reader to identify the type of surgery performed and the hardware implanted and to differentiate expected sequelae from complications.

This practical book gives detailed instructions how to use value stream mapping to analyse and optimize production, even in difficult cases. It is the first book to describe the core method of lean production (value stream mapping) in a very systematic way.

It is targeted not only towards professional project and design engineers, but also to students and to anyone who is interested in state-of-the-art computer-aided development.The book begins with an overview of automotive development processes and the principles of virtual product development.

This is an overview of recent progress in magnetic particle imaging, which uses various static and oscillating magnetic fields and tracer materials made from iron oxide nanoparticles to perform background-free measurements of the particles' local concentration.

Using lasers requires first figuring out which laser is needed based on very complex parameters then selecting a laser on the basis of commercial availability. The complexity of the issue requires two volumes, and this is the first on lasers and applications.

This book provides the first summary of known terrestrial distal impact ejecta layers, which although often erased or modified beyond easy recognition, can be vital evidence in helping to plot major climatic and biological effects of meteor impact.
