Environmentally compatible polymers (green polymers) are the key to sustainable developments for our rich and convenient life. In order to develop green polymers, it is essential to understand that nature constructs a variety of materials that can be used. Plant materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the largest organic resources. Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites is unique in that it introduces thermal analysis applicable to green polymers and provides fu...
At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran- sitions, we have a nearly satisfactory understanding of the statistical me- chanics of classical systems with a non-random Hamiltonian. The situation is completely different if we consider the theory of systems with a random Hamiltonian or of chaotic dynamical systems. The two fields are connected; in fact, in the latter the effects of deterministic chao...
Computational Methods in Field Theory (Recent Developments in Lipid and Lipoprotein Research, #409)
This text aims to present the key topics in thermodynamics in an accessible manner, using a physical intuitive approach rather than a highly mathematical one.

Models of Neural Networks (Physics of Neural Networks, v. 2)
The theory of neural nets has two new paradigms: information coding through coherent firing of the neurons and structural feedback. As compared to traditional neural nets, spiking neurons provide an extra degree of freedom: time. This degree of freedom is realized by a coherent spiking of many neurons in the network, a nonlinear phenomenon. The other paradigm, feedback, is a dominant feature of the structural organization of the brain. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of both paradigms,...
