L.A. Eriksson, "Theoretical Biochemistry - Processes and Properties of Biological Systems"
Elsevier Science; 1 edition (January 1, 2001) | ISBN: 0444502920 | 718 pages | PDF | 37 Mb
Theoretical chemistry has been an area of tremendous expansion and development over the past decade; from an approach where we were able to treat only a few atoms quantum mechanically or make fairly crude molecular dynamics simulations, into a discipline with an accuracy and predictive power that has rendered it an essential complementary tool to experiment in basically all areas of science.

This volume gives a flavour of the types of problems in biochemistry that theoretical calculations can solve at present, and illustrates the tremendous predictive power these approaches possess.

A wide range of computational approaches, from classical MD and Monte Carlo methods, via semi-empirical and DFT approaches on isolated model systems, to Car-Parinello QM-MD and novel hybrid QM/MM studies are covered. The systems investigated also cover a broad range; from membrane-bound proteins to various types of enzymatic reactions as well as inhibitor studies, cofactor properties, solvent effects, transcription and radiation damage to DNA.

K.D. Moeller , "Optics: Learning by Computing, with Examples Using Maple, MathCad®, Matlab®, Mathematica®, and Maple®"
Springer; 2nd ed. edition (August 8, 2007) | ISBN: 0387261680 | 454 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
This new edition is intended for a one semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering. It uses scripts from Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB to provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption.

The text covers all the standard topics of a traditional optics course, including: geometrical optics and aberration, interference and diffraction, coherence, Maxwell's equations, wave guides and propagating modes, blackbody radiation, atomic emission and lasers, optical properties of materials, Fourier transforms and FT spectroscopy, image formation, and holography. It contains step by step derivations of all basic formulas in geometrical, wave and Fourier optics.

The basic text is supplemented by over 170 files in Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB (many of which are in the text; al scripts are included on the CD), each suggesting programs to solve a particular problem, and each linked to a topic in or application of optics. The computer files are dynamic, allowing the reader to see instantly the effects of changing parameters in the equations. Students are thus encouraged to ask "What if?" questions to asses the physical implications of the formulas. The discussion of Fourier transforms in particular is enhanced by the availability of numerical methods.

The book is written for the study of particular projects but can easily be adapted to other situations. The threefold arrangement of text, applications, and files makes the book suitable for "self-learning" by scientists or engineers who would like to refresh their knowledge of optics.In the classroom, the Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB scripts can serve as starting points for homework; outside, they can help find solutions to complex problems in engineering applications.

Some praise for the previous edition:

OPTICS AND PHOTONICS NEWS [OCTOBER 2004]

"This book and its companion CD cover geometrical optics, electromagnetic theory, interference, diffraction and coherence theory. Chapters on optical constants, blackbody radiation, emission and absorption, lasers, holography and Fourier transform spectroscopy broaden its scope. The packet contains over 170 MathCAD files linked to specific topics and applications. [T]he main virtues of the book are the excellent photographs of basic optical phenomena. The index is comprehensive. [The book] will certainly be helpful to students in an introductory optics course."

John Wiley & Sons (November 1997) | ISBN: 0471162698 | 752 pages | PDF | 4,3 Mb
Learn from a master how to overcome performance bottlenecks and response time delays typical of large distributed systems.

"Chris is one of the industry's most important thinkers on database design - I would strongly recommend this book to readers trying to get past the buzzwords and focus on what really makes a difference in achieving high-performance distributed systems."

- David Stodder, Editor-in-Chief, Database Programming & Design Performance is not simply a matter of tuning the code or the computing environment - it starts with designing performance into the application from the outset, and spans all phases of the system life cycle. Drawing on his 25 years of experience, Chris Loosley explains the principles of software performance engineering and applies them to all facets of distributed systems architecture and design. Along the way, he summarizes his conclusions in over 250 useful, easily referenced guidelines. And he covers all the key topics, with chapters on Middleware, Architecture, Design, Tools, Databases, Replication, Warehousing, and Transaction Monitors.

Loosley's conclusions about the architecture and design of enterprise systems challenge many current middleware trends. Applying the performance principles, Loosley explains why the key to creating truly scalable distributed systems is to decompose complex business applications into multitransaction workflows, and to use asynchronous data replication, parallel processing, and batching techniques.

Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-A readable, concise, and informative book. Organized alphabetically with brief articles ranging in length from a single paragraph to over four pages, the book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps, and reproductions. The text will answer readers' questions and probably inspire further research. Almost every article is cross-referenced and contains a bibliography. Minor problems include occasional moments of editorializing and some quirkiness in the discussion of "Motion Pictures." Although the information presented is pretty standard and much of it might be found in a good encyclopedia, students will find it helpful to have everything in one easy-to-use volume.

From frank evaluations of ordinance and strategy (``MacArthur's defense of the Philippines could hardly have been worse'') to accounts of the treatment of women and African-Americans in the armed services, this wide-ranging alphabetical compendium of topical and biographical articles goes a long way toward filling in the blanks for young students of the war. O'Neill keeps jargon to a minimum, ends most entries with reading lists, uses plenty of cross references, and includes World Wide Web sites in the back matter. The illustrations, a perfunctory smattering of tiny black-and-white maps and photos, are a weak point, but the author presents information with the succinct clarity that is essential in the best quick-reference tools.

This book is not for advertising and design professionals. It is for all those involved with building and defining their own brand, for those who know that brand management is crucial, but don’t know how to go about it. Good brand management is the route to getting the brand to work harder and to make its proper mark. Any brand, new or old, must be managed, nurtured, exploited and, when necessary, changed. Good brand and business managers must understand what a brand is, what it can do for them and how it supports the strategic goals of the business. Good brand managers must also direct and co-ordinate the wide and daunting variety of tasks and experts involved in making brand strategy happen. HOW COME YOUR BRAND ISN`T WORKING? tackles this challenge head on. Peppered with fascinating real-life examples (good and bad), and a brand health checklist, any manager will benefit from Cheverton’s pragmatic advice on positing, targeting and implementation.

Key account management (KAM) is not a sales initiative, it is a business-wide process that must be managed and supported from the top. Here we have a book or all those involved in the management of key accounts, but uncertain about how these important customers are identified, selected and managed. In a clean, direct style, Cheverton cuts to the quick and shows how to achieve the core objectives of KAM: retain existing customers in a competitive environment; grow through acquiring new long term contracts; achieve global `preferred supplier` status; manage customers serviced by several departments in a consistent way; create a customer intimate business; achieve operational excellence. `Managing the future` Cheverton says is the purpose of KAM: achieving a realistic balance between objectives, the market opportunity and the resources available. Global cases, tools, techniques and exercises are all features of this inspired little book.

Deepak Pareek, "WiMAX: Taking Wireless to the MAX"
AUERBACH (May 30, 2006) | ISBN:0849371864 | 384 pages | PDF | 9,8 Mb

With market value expected to reach $5 billion by 2007 and the endorsement of some of the biggest names in telecommunications, World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is poised to change the broadband wireless landscape. But how much of WiMAX's touted potential is merely hype? Now that several pre-WiMAX networks have been deployed, what are the operators saying about QoS and ROI? How and when will device manufacturers integrate WiMAX into their products? What is the business case for using WiMAX rather than any number of other established wireless alternatives? WiMAX: Taking Wireless to the MAX examines the evolution of wireless, broadband, and the wireless broadband landscape with exhaustive coverage of technological advances and evolving topologies. It sets the tone for the journey towards untouched wireless heights - WiMAX. The author builds a complete understanding of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Technologies, elaborating on past developments, present needs and uses, and future trends and markets. He lays out a road map to the future and articulates present and future applications and models of BWA with focus on WiMAX. The book also provides a detailed discussion on the advanced technologies central to the existence of WiMAX. It presents strategies for building the case for WiMAX and achieving success for the different players, including service providers and equipment manufacturers. An increasing demand for access to information anytime, anywhere has led to explosive growth in access and wireless technologies. The trend has created new competitive threats as well as new opportunities in every walk of life. The task, then, is to turn possibilities into realities and provide solutions that enable anywhere, anytime access to information and applications at low cost and with a small investment. Taking a coherent and fact-based approach, this book explores the space between what is known and available and what industry needs.

* Binding: Hardcover
* Manufacturer: Springer
* Studio: Springer

Book Description:

This highly praised introductory treatment describes the parallels between statistical physics and finance - both those established in the 100-year long interaction between these disciplines, as well as new research results on financial markets. The random-walk technique, well known in physics, is also the basic model in finance, upon which are built, for example, the Black-Scholes theory of option pricing and hedging, plus methods of portfolio optimization. Here the underlying assumptions are assessed critically. Using empirical financial data and analogies to physical models such as fluid flows, turbulence, or superdiffusion, the book develops a more accurate description of financial markets based on random walks. With this approach, novel methods for derivative pricing and risk management can be formulated. Computer simulations of interacting-agent models provide insight into the mechanisms underlying unconventional price dynamics. It is shown that stock exchange crashes can be modelled in ways analogous to phase transitions and earthquakes, and sometimes have even been predicted successfully. This third edition of "The Statistical Mechanics of Financial Markets" especially stands apart from other treatments because it offers new chapters containing a practitioner's treatment of two important current topics in banking: the basic notions and tools of risk management and capital requirements for financial institutions, including an overview of the new Basel II capital framework which may well set the risk management standards in scores of countries for years to come.

* Binding: Hardcover
* Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA
* Studio: Oxford University Press, USA
Book Description:

Polymer chemistry and technology form one of the major areas of molecular and materials science. This field impinges on nearly every aspect of modern life, from electronics technology, to medicine, to the wide range of fibers, films, elastomers, and structural materials on which everyone depends. Although most of these polymers are organic materials, attention is being focused increasingly toward polymers that contain inorganic elements as well as organic components. The goal of Inorganic Polymers is to provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers in a way that will be useful to both the uninitiated and those already working in this field. There are numerous reasons for being interested in inorganic polymers. One is the simple need to know how structure affects the properties of a polymer, particularly outside the well-plowed area of organic materials. Another is the bridge that inorganic polymers provide between polymer science and ceramics. More and more chemistry is being used in the preparation of ceramics of carefully controlled structure, and inorganic polymers are increasingly important precursor materials in such approaches. This new edition begins with a brief introductory chapter. That is followed with a discussion of the characteristics and characterization of polymers, with examples taken from the field. Other chapters in the book detail the synthesis, reaction chemistry, molecular structure, and uses of polyphosphazenes, polysiloxanes, and polysilanes. The coverage in the second edition has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and interesting trends since the first edition appeared. Three new chapters have been added, focusing on ferrocene-based polymers, other phosphorous-containing polymers, and boron-containing polymers; inorganic-organic hybrid composites; and preceramic inorganic polymers.

Modeling in Transport Phenomena, Second Edition presents and clearly explains with example problems the basic concepts and their applications to fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics. A balanced approach is presented between analysis and synthesis, students will understand how to use the solution in engineering analysis. Systematic derivations of the equations and the physical significance of each term are given in detail, for students to easily understand and follow up the material.

There is a strong incentive in science and engineering to understand why a phenomenon behaves the way it does. For this purpose, a complicated real-life problem is transformed into a mathematically tractable problem while preserving the essential features of it. Such a process, known as mathematical modeling, requires understanding of the basic concepts. This book teaches students these basic concepts and shows the similarities between them. Answers to all problems are provided allowing students to check their solutions. Emphasis is on how to get the model equation representing a physical phenomenon and not on exploiting various numerical techniques to solve mathematical equations.

Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes: A Manual for Optical Evaluation and Adjustment By Harold Richard Suiter
Willmann-Bell | 1994-12 | 0943396441 | PDF | English | 5.32 MB
Great - for advanced amateur star-gazers. Mr. Suiter is a professional physicist whose avocation is star-gazing with modest amateur astronomical telescopes. His book bridges the gap between amateur and professional on the subject of telescope optics and performance.

This book is NOT for the beginner! It is dense, highly technical, very educational, and really is better suited to advanced amateur with a strong technical affinity. Though it is printed upon high quality paper with some very good computer generated graphics, it remains relatively slim, no more than an inch thick.

The book covers all the theory and practice needed to help align and collimate most amateur telescopes to the peak of their optical potential. He begins with the wave theory of light, and ends with a discourse on interpreting the multi-circular images one often sees of a star in and out of focus.

He creates a wonderful "model" of seeing as a stack of filters between your eye, and the objects you look at. Every sort of optical degradation imaginable is represented by one filter or another - air turbulence, optical misalignment, diffraction, optical imperfections, etc. Beyond this, he manages to sum up the effects of these filters in one all encompassing concept, call the Modulation Transfer Function. Essentially this conveys a sense of how well the telescope will perform varying feats of resolution and contrast. In some cases, a "defective" wavefront may provide superior resolution than is otherwise theoretically possible, though only at the expense of other image properties such as contrast.

Beginners, save your money. Advancing amateurs, this book is for you. This book requires hours of thoughtful study. An excellent tome for the Library, or the continuing ed program at the University of Porcelain.

Advances in the Bonded Composite Repair of Metallic Aircraft Structure, 2 Volume Set
ISBN: 9780080426990 | Elsevier Science; 1st ed edition (November 1, 2002) | PDF | 1092 pages | 15 Mb
The availability of efficient and cost-effective technologies to repair or extend the life of aging military airframes is becoming a critical requirement in most countries around the world, as new aircraft becoming prohibitively expensive and defence budgets shrink. To a lesser extent a similar situation is arising with civil aircraft, with falling revenues and the high cost of replacement aircraft.

This book looks at repair/reinforcement technology, which is based on the use of adhesively bonded fibre composite patches or doublers and can provide cost-effective life extension in many situations. From the scientific and engineering viewpoint, whilst simple in concept, this technology can be quite challenging particularly when used to repair primary structure. This is due to it being based on interrelated inputs from the fields of aircraft design, solid mechanics, fibre composites, structural adhesive bonding, fracture mechanics and metal fatigue. The technologies of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and, more recently smart materials, are also included. Operational issues are equally critical, including airworthiness certification, application technology (including health and safety issues), and training.

Including contributions from leading experts in Canada, UK, USA and Australia, this book discusses most of these issues and the latest developments. Most importantly, it contains real histories of application of this technology to both military and civil aircraft.

Joachim Roesler, Harald Harders, Martin Baeker, "Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials: Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites"
Springer; 1 edition (October 2007) | ISBN-10: 3540734465 | 536 pages | PDF | 10,7 Mb

How do engineering materials deform when bearing mechanical loads? To answer this crucial question, the book bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and materials science. The different kinds of material deformation (elasticity, plasticity, fracture, creep, fatigue) are explained in detail. The book also discusses the physical processes occurring during the deformation of all classes of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites) and shows how these materials can be strengthened to meet the design requirements. It provides the knowledge needed in selecting the appropriate engineering material for a certain design problem. The reader will thus learn how to critically employ design rules and thus to avoid failure of mechanical components.

Jhon krogsitie, Lothe Opdalh, "Conceptual Modelling in Information Systems Engineering"
Springer | 2007-07-11 | ISBN: 3540726764 | PDF | 3.2MB
conceptual modeling has always been one of the cornerstones for information systems engineering as it describes the general knowledge of the system in the so-called conceptual schema.Krogstie, Opdahl and Brinkkemper compiled 20 contributions from renowned researchers covering all aspects of conceptual modeling on the occasion of Arne Sølvberg’s 67th birthday. Many friends of this information systems modeling pioneer happily contributed their latest research results from fields like data modeling, goal-oriented modeling, agent-oriented modeling, and process-oriented modeling. Overall, the contributions reflect the most important developments and application areas of conceptual modeling in recent years, and they also pinpoint trends in conceptual modeling for the next decade.
This wide selection corresponds to the broad spectrum of Arne’s activities and long-term responsibilities with the VLDB Endowment, IFIP, and ERCIM. Arne was presented with this book at CAiSE 2007, when the event which he cofounded in 1989 returned to his hometown of Trondheim.

Graph Theory (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Springer; 2 edition | ISBN: 0387950141 | 315 pages | February 18, 2000 | PDF | 1 Mb
Almost two decades after the appearance of most of the classical texts on the subject, this fresh introduction to Graph Theory offers a reassessment of what are the theory's main fields, methods and results today. Viewed as a branch of pure mathematics, the theory of finite graphs is developed as a coherent subject in its own right, with its own unifying questions and methods. Graph Theory can be used at various different levels. It contains all the standard basic material to be taught in a first undergraduate course, complete with detailed proofs and numerous illustrations. For a graduate course, the book offers proofs of several more advanced results, most of which thus appear in a book for the first time. These proofs are described with as much care and detail as their simpler counterparts. To the professional mathematician, finally, the book affords an overview of graph theory as it stands today: with its typical questions and methods, its classic results, and some of those developments that have made this subject such an exciting area in recent years.

Torsten Asselmeyer-Maluga, Carl Henry Brans , "Exotic smoothness and physics: differential topology and spacetime models"
World Scientific Publishing (January 23, 2007) | ISBN: 981024195X | 336 pages | PDF | 13,9 Mb
The recent revolution in differential topology related to the discovery of non-standard (“exotic�) smoothness structures on topologically trivial manifolds such as R4 suggests many exciting opportunities for applications of potentially deep importance for the spacetime models of theoretical physics, especially general relativity. This rich panoply of new differentiable structures lies in the previously unexplored region between topology and geometry. Just as physical geometry was thought to be trivial before Einstein, physicists have continued to work under the tacit — but now shown to be incorrect — assumption that differentiability is uniquely determined by topology for simple four-manifolds. Since diffeomorphisms are the mathematical models for physical coordinate transformations, Einstein’s relativity principle requires that these models be physically inequivalent. This book provides an introductory survey of some of the relevant mathematics and presents preliminary results and suggestions for further applications to spacetime models.

Contents:
Introduction and Background
Algebraic Tools for Topology
Smooth Manifolds, Geometry
Bundles, Geometry, Gauge Theory
Gauge Theory and Moduli Space
A Guide to the Classification of Manifolds
Early Exotic Manifolds

Vic Broquard , «C++ for Computer Science and Engineering, 4th Edition»
Broquard Ebooks | ISBN: 0970569726 | 2007 | 717 pages | PDF | 13.5 Mb
For CS1 and other courses covering beginning programming in C++. It is aimed at readers with little or no programming experience.
It can be used both in Computer Science and Engineering programs as a first course in programming. It is in use at Illinois Central College in the Cmpsc 125 Introduction to C++ and Engr 230 Engineering Applications in C++ courses. The Fourth Edition has been updated to use Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET 2005 compiler

This text is designed for a college level introductory C++ course for both the Computer Science and Engineering curricula. Written for the novice programmer, this book assumes no prior knowledge of computer programming. The main elements of the language are introduced step by step in a logical, gradient manner.

Each chapter has three main sections. The Basics Section presents the new features of the language. This is followed by two applications sections, one geared for Computer Science majors and one for Engineering majors. Thus, the student can see solid examples of the language's application in their field.

Good programming design practices are introduced early and utilized in every sample program in the book. These include Top-down Design, the Cycle of Data Processing (Input, Process, Output) and a form of elementary pseudocoding with a main storage diagram. By continuous examples, the student is shown that the optimum way to write a program is to design before you begin the actual coding into the C++ language.

The book contains 47 complete programs which are available ready for compilation and your experimentation. The sample programs along with a Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005 project for each is included with the book. The samples are of increasing sophistication and illustrate many of the basic algorithms needed by the beginning programmer. There are samples for the Basic, Computer Science and Engineering Sections. All sample programs are extensively commented so that they could be easily maintained.

Generally, the Computer Science examples concentrate on the types of programs often found in this discipline and business data processing. They include such items as using input and output files, control break reports, summary reports, merging files of data, file update programs with emphasis on writing reusable, generic functions, sorting arrays, binary search, character string manipulation, use of structures and binary file actions.

In contrast, the Engineering sample programs illustrate problems found in many different areas of engineering and numerical analysis. The basic principles of numerical analysis are presented in Chapter 5 with each chapter after that covering another analysis tool. The sample programs thus illustrate many different types of equation calculations. Covered are root solving (using the bisection method, Regula Falsi, Newton's Method and the secant method), numerical integration using the trapezoid method and Simpson's Rule, menu processing, plotting graphs, statistical computations, Least Squares Curve Fitting, matrix math operations, Gauss and Gauss-Jordan methods for solving equations and the use of structures to simplify parameter passing.

The last section of each chapter consists of programming assignments. They are clearly labeled CS-nn or Engr-nn. There is a wide variety of assignments available. Some are more difficult than others. It is highly recommended that a student do at least one programming assignment from each chapter, if not more.

The book has a lengthy appendix on how to use the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Integrated Development Platform to create, debug and run programs.

The book comes in Adobe pdf files. One file contains the entire book. There are also individual chapter pdf files. All of the sample programs are provided as well as the test data needed for some of the programming assignments are provided.
