Book Description

In modern surface science, hundreds of new physical and chemical measurement methods have come to form a vital foundation for experimental research. This book presents many practical and widely used laboratory methods, but which have thus far not been communicated coherently to students or practitioners entering the field. Approximately 250 methods and principles, selected from information supplied by more than 100 experts as well as the literature from the past thirty years, and arranged in topical groupings for easy reference, are described succinctly with drawings and text. Providing a veritable gold mine of clever ideas and tricks of the trade, the book will serve not only as a useful reference for those starting experimental research in surface science, but also as a handbook for established researchers, providing new ideas for using basic materials and components effectively for surface science research and measurement. Updated information on American, English, German, and Japanese suppliers of materials and components used in surface science research is featured at the end of the book.

    Book Description

    Like for its three predecessors, the purpose of this fourth edition is chiefly to help physicists, physical chemists, materials scientists, metallurgists, engineers, and biologists to carry out investigations at low temperatures. This new edition takes into account the major changes in cryogenic technology over the past twenty years. These changes include areas of temperature measurement and control, superconducting magnets, cryocoolers, ultra-low temperatures, technical data on materials, commercially available cryostats for optical, x-ray, thermal and electrical measurements. Less emphasis is now placed on methods of constructing cryostats in the laboratory and more emphasis on commercially available cryostats, temperature controllers, and closed circuit cryocoolers. The book contains comprehensive, up-to-date tables of physical property data on metals, polymers, and ceramics. It will be of value to graduate students as well as to engineers and biologists facing cryogenic problems.

    4 out of 5 stars For low temperature experiments........1999-12-03

    This is the first book, I came across, in low temperature techniques. Useful for people carrying out low temperature experiments. This book does not deal with ultra low temperatures, that is temperatures below 1K, adequately. Does not write about the modern dilution refrigeratures. However, if one needs some low temperature technique information or low temperaure material data, then one can look in to this book. The book is very clearly written and still useful, although several new books on this topic have been published.

      Book Description

      A discussion of recently developed experimental methods for noise research in nanoscale electronic devices, conducted by specialists in transport and stochastic phenomena in nanoscale physics. The approach described is to create methods for experimental observations of noise sources, their localization and their frequency spectrum, voltage-current and thermal dependences. Our current knowledge of measurement methods for mesoscopic devices is summarized to identify directions for future research, related to downscaling effects.

      The directions for future research into fluctuation phenomena in quantum dot and quantum wire devices are specified. Nanoscale electronic devices will be the basic components for electronics of the 21st century. From this point of view the signal-to-noise ratio is a very important parameter for the device application. Since the noise is also a quality and reliability indicator, experimental methods will have a wide application in the future.

        Book Description

        Neuroscience was the topic of several talks and papers. Emerging themes appear to be the control of neuronal activity and the construction of hybrid neuron-circuit systems, and that of using nonlinear data analysis techniques for the characterization of physiological pathologies. It was shown that these approaches can be applied to cardiac arrhythmias and detection of problems in EEG signals. Synchronization of chaos in optical systems was also presented. New topics that were presented were Ecology and Traffic dynamics. Also, ecological dynamics showed that state space concepts can also be applied to populations and insect networks. Topics include: Chemistry, Electronics, Geophysics and Astrophysics, Neuroscience and Physiology, Data Analysis, Applications, Traffic, Combustion, Optics, Hydrodynamics, Condensed Matter, Synchrony, Dynamo, and Ecology.

          Book Description

          The first three volumes in this series were mainly devoted to applications of Synchrotron Radiation in various fields of physics and chemistry. Volume 4 covers in a self-contained manner the properties of sources, elements of instrumentation and applications to biological and medical research. The exception confirming the rule is EXAFS where it was felt that this topic at the border between inorganic chemistry and biochemistry was adequately covered in previous volumes and in several recently published textbooks. Each chapter provides an introduction for newcomers as well as a reference for more advanced researchers. In conclusion this is a unique book providing a comprehensive overview of the use of S.-R. in biology and medicine.

            Book Description

            This volume contains the proceedings of the 2004 University of Miami Workshop on Unconventional Superconductivity. The workshop was the fourth in a series of successful meetings on High-TC Superconductivity and related topics, which took place at the James L. Knight Physics Building on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, Florida, in January 1991, 1995, 1999, and 2004. The volume includes high-quality papers on state of the art works on unconventional superconductivity. A key issue, discussed by many in the workshop, was how homogeneous the cuprates are. STM data, as well as other reports, showed that the cuprate superconductors (SC's) studied were inhomogeneous, especially in the underdoped regime; while experiments, like ARPES and magnetoresistance have established the existence of a Fermi Surface, at least above some doping level, in the cuprates. Other topics ranging from the pseudogap problem to pairing mechanisms are also discussed by various authors. In general, experiments show more convergence than high-TC theories. There is definitely no consensus on the high- TC mechanism, although two broad groups exist: those around the extended "Big Tent" homogenous scheme, and those who assume an intrinsic inhomogeneous state. Another division could be viewed between those who consider the high- TC mechanism to be essentially of an electronic-magnetic origin (with no role played by the lattice), and those who assign an important role to the lattice. There seemed to be a consensus in the workshop that MgB2 and the fullerenes are simpler SC's than the cuprates, while work on ruthenocuprates and the coexistence of SC and ferromagnetism provided new stimuli to research and understanding. Interest was drawn also by the new NaxCoO2•yH2O SC. Although this is a low-TC material, its physical properties have a similarity to those of the cuprates; thus research on this system seems to be important for the understanding of high TC SC. The volume gives a brief overview of many facets of present day superconductivity research and should be of great interest to all scientists and research students who work in the field of superconductivity or related subjects in condensed matter physics and material sciences.

              Book Description

              The central theme, which threads through the entire book, concerns computational modeling methods for water. Modeling results for pure liquid water, water near ions, water at interfaces, water in biological microsystems, and water under other types of perturbations such as laser fields are described. Connections are made throughout the book with statistical mechanical theoretical methods on the one hand and with experimental data on the other. The book is expected to be useful not only for theorists and computer analysts interested in the physical, chemical, biological and geophysical aspects of water, but also for experimentalists in these fields.

                    Book Description

                    Mathematical Modelling with Case Studies provides students with a firm grounding in basic modelling skills applicable to a wide variety of problems. The focus is on models involving differential equations, with the solution of differential equations as the primary technique used.The models considered relate to growth and decay processes, interacting populations, and heating/cooling problems, but the range of applications and mathematical techniques presented provide a broad appreciation of the scope of this type of modelling, while the skills developed readily transfer to many other areas. Within each modelling section of the book, the authors carefully consider the procedure for constructing a model, emphasizing a start simple, evaluate, and then extend process. They use flow diagrams and word equations and discuss the assumptions made, consequent limitations, and impact on the interpretation of results--a structured, detailed approach that has proved a successful learning strategy. Along with theoretical and computational tools for analysis, the authors also encourage graphical methods and integrate throughout the text MAPLE code and its ensuing results. The prerequisites for this text are minimal, including only a basic knowledge of calculus and fundamental computing skills. Thus the book is an excellent choice both for mathematics students and for those in the many other fields of study that require some expertise in modelling.

                    Book Description

                    The challenges facing groundwater scientists and engineers today demand expertise in a wide variety of disciplines–geology, hydraulics, geochemistry, geophysics, and biology. As the number of the subdisciplines has increased and as each has become more complex and quantitative, the problem of integrating their concepts and contributions into a coherent overall interpretation has become progressively more difficult. To an increasing degree transport simulation has emerged as an answer to this problem, and the transport model has become a vehicle for integrating the vast amount of field data from a variety of sources and for understanding the relationship of various physical, chemical, and biological processes.

                    Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling is the first resource designed to provide coverage of the discipline’s basic principles, including the theories behind solute transport in groundwater, common numerical techniques for solving transport equations, and step-by-step guidance on the development and use of field-scale modeling.  The Second Edition incorporates recent advances in contaminant transport theory and simulation techniques, adding the following to the original text:

                    -An expanded discussion of the role of aquifer heterogeneity in controlling solute transport
                    -A new section on the dual-domain mass transfer approach as an alternative to the classical advection-dispersion model
                    -Additional chemical processes and reactions in the discussion of reactive transport
                    -A discussion of the TVD (total-variation-diminishing) approach to transport solution
                    -An entirely new Part III containing two chapters on simulation of flow and transport under variable water density and under variable saturation, respectively, and a third chapter on the use of the simulation-optimization approach in remediation system design

                    Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling, Second Edition remains the premier reference for practicing hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and graduate students in the field. In 1998, in recognition of their work on the first edition, the authors were honored with the John Hem Excellence in Science and Engineering Award of the National Ground Water Association

                    4 out of 5 stars Suitability for those that are not engineers.......2005-10-14

                    This book provided an excellent explanation of the modeling of solutes and groundwater that conveyed a very good understanding of the challenges and methods used without resorting to the use of mathematical sophistication that actual ground water modelers no doubt possess.

                    In other words, I think that this book would benefit both those that are hydrologists and geologists as well as those that have had some training in environemental site assessment and remediation but have not been exposed to the actual number crunching that is essential for doing actual simulations.

                        Book Description

                        Optimization models based on a nonlinear systems description often possess multiple local optima. The objective of global optimization (GO) is to find the best possible solution of multiextremal problems. This volume illustrates the applicability of GO modeling techniques and solution strategies to real-world problems.

                        The contributed chapters cover a broad range of applications from agroecosystem management, assembly line design, bioinformatics, biophysics, black box systems optimization, cellular mobile network design, chemical process optimization, chemical product design, composite structure design, computational modeling of atomic and molecular structures, controller design for induction motors, electrical engineering design, feeding strategies in animal husbandry, the inverse position problem in kinematics, laser design, learning in neural nets, mechanical engineering design, numerical solution of equations, radiotherapy planning, robot design, and satellite data analysis. The solution strategies discussed encompass a range of practically viable methods, including both theoretically rigorous and heuristic approaches.

                          Book Description

                          Mathematical modelling is a subject without boundaries. It is the means by which mathematics becomes useful to virtually any subject. Moreover, modelling has been and continues to be a driving force for the development of mathematics itself. This book explains the process of modelling real situations to obtain mathematical problems that can be analyzed, thus solving the original problem.

                          The presentation is in the form of case studies, which are developed much as they would be in true applications. In many cases, an initial model is created, then modified along the way. Some cases are familiar, such as the evaluation of an annuity. Others are unique, such as the fascinating situation in which an engineer, armed only with a slide rule, had 24 hours to compute whether a valve would hold when a temporary rock plug was removed from a water tunnel.

                          Each chapter ends with a set of exercises and some suggestions for class projects. Some projects are extensive, as with the explorations of the predator-prey model; others are more modest.

                          The text was designed to be suitable for a one-term course for advanced undergraduates. The selection of topics and the style of exposition reflect this choice. The authors have also succeeded in demonstrating just how enjoyable the subject can be.

                          This is an ideal text for classes on modelling. It can also be used in seminars or as preparation for mathematical modelling competitions.

                                  Book Description

                                  Energy plays a crucial role in economic and social development. The analysis of energy issues and policy options is therefore a vital area of study. This book presents a hierarchical modeling scheme intended to support energy planning and policy analysis in developing countries. The authors examine the spreadsheet models, optimization models, and linear planning models that energy planners use, drawing illustrative case material from a number of countries throughout.
