Statistical Mechanics, Third Edition
Statistical Mechanics, Third Edition This classic text, first published in 1972, is designed for graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. The second edition, published in 1996, incorporated three comprehensive chapters on phase transitions and critical phenomena. This third edition includes new sections on Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate Fermi behavior of ultracold atomic gases, and two [...]
Pulsed Power Systems: Principles and Applications
Pulsed Power Systems: Principles and Applications Pulsed-Power Systems describes the physical and technical foundations for the production and application of high-voltage pulses of very high-power and high-energy character. In the initial chapters, it addresses materials, components and the most common diagnostics. In the second part, three categories of applications with scientific and industrial relevance are [...]
Laser Spectroscopy: Basic Concepts and Instrumentation
Laser Spectroscopy: Basic Concepts and Instrumentation Laser Spectroscopy – in this second enlarged edition – provides an introduction to modern techniques and instrumentation in laser spectroscopy. The first part, which discusses the basic concepts of absorption and emission of light, the spectroscopic instrumentation for wavelength measurements and detection of light, and the spectroscopic properties of [...]
Dendrites
Dendrites Dendrites form the major receiving part of neurons. It is within these highly complex, branching structures that the real work of the nervous system takes place. The dendrites of neurons receive thousands of synaptic inpites from other neurons. But dendrites do more than simply collect and funnel these signals to the soma and axon; [...]
Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines
Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is the established essential text for the fundamental solutions to efficient wind turbine design. Now in its second edition, it has been entirely updated and substantially extended to reflect advances in technology, research into rotor aerodynamics and the structural response of the wind turbine structure. Topics covered [...]
Cryogenic Systems (Monographs on Cryogenics, No 3)
Cryogenic Systems (Monographs on Cryogenics, No 3) This introduction to the principles of low-temperature engineering emphasizes the design and analysis of cryogenic systems. The new edition includes fresh material on superconductivity, liquid natural gas technology, rectification system design, refrigerators, and instrumentation. SI units are now used throughout the book. Unlike the previous edition, which was [...]
Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music, Third Edition Reviews
Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music, Third Edition Most books concerned with physics and music take an approach that puts physical theory before application. Consequently, these works tend to dampen aesthetic fascination with preludes burdened by an overabundance of algebraic formulae. In Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music Third Edition, Ian [...]
