An Introduction to the Gas Phase is adapted from a set of lecture notes for a core first year lecture course in physical chemistry taught at the University of Oxford. The book is intended to give a relatively concise introduction to the gas phase at a level suitable for any undergraduate scientist. After defining the gas phase, properties of gases such as temperature, pressure, and volume are discussed. The relationships between these properties are explained at a molecular level, and simple mod...
Intended for mechanical, electrical and mineral engineers, this book presents the basic concepts of the formation of rapid and slow circulations in disperse mediums subjected to vibrations. It analyzes a vast body of experimental data, disclosing fine mechanisms by which vibration affects the disperse medium in process.
Dynamics Beyond Uniform Hyperbolicity (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences, #102)
by Christian Bonatti, Lorenzo J D Az, and Marcelo Viana
What is Dynamics about? In broad terms, the goal of Dynamics is to describe the long term evolution of systems for which an "infinitesimal" evolution rule is known. Examples and applications arise from all branches of science and technology, like physics, chemistry, economics, ecology, communications, biology, computer science, or meteorology, to mention just a few. These systems have in common the fact that each possible state may be described by a finite (or infinite) number of observable quan...
Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics and Connect Access Card
by Ferdinand Beer
Theory of Planetary Atmospheres (International Geophysics, #22)
by R Alan Plumb and John Marshall
This book examines blast waves-their methods of generation, their propagation in several dimensions through the real atmosphere and layered gases, and their interactions with simple structures-thereby providing a broad overview of the field. The intended audience has a basic knowledge of algebra and a good grasp of the concepts of conservation of mass and energy. The text includes an introduction to blast wave terminology and conservation laws, and there is a discussion of units and the importan...
Fractional Dynamics on Networks and Lattices
by Thomas Michelitsch, Alejandro Perez Riascos, Bernard Collet, Andrzej Nowakowski, and Franck Nicolleau
This book analyzes stochastic processes on networks and regular structures such as lattices by employing the Markovian random walk approach. Part 1 is devoted to the study of local and non-local random walks. It shows how non-local random walk strategies can be defined by functions of the Laplacian matrix that maintain the stochasticity of the transition probabilities. A major result is that only two types of functions are admissible: type (i) functions generate asymptotically local walks with t...
Groundbourne Vibration Caused by Mechanised Construction Works

Soil Erosion and Carbon Dynamics (Advances in Soil Science)
The most complete, nonpartisan source of information on this hot agronomic topic available today, this book brings together a diverse group of papers and data to resolve the debate between sedimentologists and soil scientists and agronomists over whether the effects of soil erosion on carbon and atmospheric CO2 is beneficial or destructive. Divided into four sections, it offers data on how soil erosion affects soil, water, and air quality. Topics include mineralization rate, inundation, sediment...
Climbing and Diving (Science Readers: A Closer Look)
by Lisa Greathouse
Readers may never expect that they might free fall to Earth, but if they have ever dived into a pool, that's exactly what they've done. This book shows readers how Newton's three laws of motion affect divers, skydivers, and mountain climbers' movements. Readers discover who uses gravity, who works against it, and all other forces that contribute to a successful dive or climb. After reading this book, readers can decide if they will ever be interested in engaging in one of these extreme sports.
Seismic Shock and Vibration Isolation: H00649
Statistical Theory and Modeling for Turbulent Flows
by P. A. Durbin and B. A. Pettersson Reif
Most natural and industrial flows are turbulent. The atmosphere and oceans, automobile and aircraft engines, all provide examples of this ubiquitous phenomenon. In recent years, turbulence has become a very lively area of scientific research and application, and this work offers a grounding in the subject of turbulence, developing both the physical insight and the mathematical framework needed to express the theory. Providing a solid foundation in the key topics in turbulence, this valuable refe...
At the moment major developments are taking place in the field of dynamical systems, and interest in this area is correspondingly high. The subject is important not only to applied mathematicians, but also to engineers, physicists and computer scientists. Dynamics Reported will be a series of contributed books, each one made up of 4 - 6 substantial articles by leading researchers in this field. The articles will be up to 60 pages long and will treat an important subject of current research at a...
