Multiscale Modeling
by Andriy Kovalenko, Sergey Gusarov, Alexander Kobryn, and Maria Stepanova
The greatest challenge to modern theory is how to combine related views of the same phenomenon. The recently emerged concept of multiple scale modeling indicates a major change from traditional analysis. Instead of relying on a single theoretical tool to analyze a particular object, this sophisticated approach uses a set of integrated tools to analyze a complex system spanning different time and size scales. This book emphasizes relations between different disciplines and highlights ways to buil...

Carbon-Centered Radicals II (Landolt-Boernstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New, 18b)
by K -D Asmus and M Bonifacic
Free radicals, which are key intermediates in many thermal, photochemical and radiation processes, are important for a proper understanding of fundamental natural processes and the successful development of organic syntheses. After about one decade volume II/18 serves as a supplement and extension to volume II/13 and covers rate constants and other kinetic data of free radical reactions in liquids. Furthermore II/18 contains new chapters on reactions of radicals in excited states and of carbenes...
During a century, from the Van der Waals mean field description (1874) of gases to the introduction of renormalization group (RG techniques 1970), thermodynamics and statistical physics were just unable to account for the incredible universality which was observed in numerous critical phenomena. The great success of RG techniques is not only to solve perfectly this challenge of critical behaviour in thermal transitions but to introduce extremely useful tools in a wide field of daily situations w...
Polarization in Spectral Lines (Astrophysics and Space Science Library, #307)
by Degl'Innocenti, Egidio Landi and Marco Landolfi
Quod si tam celebris est apud omnes gloria Adamantis, atque varia ista opum gaudia, gemmae unionesque, ad ostentationem tantum placent, ut digitis colloque circumferantur; non minori a?ciendos speraverimgaudio eos, quibus curiositatis conscientia quam deliciarum est potior, novitate corporis alicujus, instar crystalli translucidi, quod ex Islandia nuper ad nos perlatum est; cujus tam mira est constitutio, ut haud sciam, num alias magis naturae apparuerit gratia. Erasmus Bartholinus, Experimenta...

Addresses topics of interest to researchers and advanced graduates of theoretical or mathematical physics who deal with strings, quantum fields, gauge theory, and quantum gravity. The 11 papers were delivered to a January 1990 international gathering in Santiago, Chile. The topics include fractional"
This textbook provides an accessible description of the basic concepts of atomic and molecular quantum structure, and how we probe that structure using light. The ideas described here underpin many aspects of modern science in fields such as quantum computing, astrophysics and astronomy, environmental and atmospheric chemistry, and nanotechnology, to name a few. The content of this book is appropriate for those who are new to the field, such as undergraduate students, and can also be a valuable...
Analysis of Alkali Metal Diatomic Spectra (Iop Concise Physics: A Morgan & Claypool Publication)
by Jin-Tae Kim, Bongsoo Kim, and William C. Stwalley

Semiconductor Lasers (Springer Series in Optical Sciences, #111)
by Junji Ohtsubo
This third edition of "Semiconductor Lasers, Stability, Instability and Chaos" was significantly extended. In the previous edition, the dynamics and characteristics of chaos in semiconductor lasers after the introduction of the fundamental theory of laser chaos and chaotic dynamics induced by self-optical feedback and optical injection was discussed. Semiconductor lasers with new device structures, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and broad-area semiconductor lasers, are interest...
Introduction to Cellular Biophysics, Volume 1 (Iop Concise Physics)
by Armin Kargol
All living matter is comprised of cells, small compartments isolated from the environment by a cell membrane and filled with concentrated solutions of various organic and inorganic compounds. Some organisms are single-cell, where all life functions are performed by that cell. Others have groups of cells, or entire organs, specializing in one particular function. The survival of the entire organism depends on all of its cells and organs fulfilling their roles.While the cells are studied by differ...
