Peter J. Gregory, “Plant Roots: Growth, Activity and Interactions with the Soil”
Wiley (April 13, 2006) | ISBN: 1405119063 | 318 pages | PDF | 3,9 Mb

Review
“Each chapter provides detailed discussion backed up by numerous references, diagrams, graphs and tables . . . all of excellent quality. . . I expect Peter Gregory’s very informative book to become the subject’s standard text and in the possession of anyone interested in how roots grow and function.”
Experimental Agriculture

“This marvelous book attempts to cover all aspects of plant root growth. This is a daunting task, but Professor Gregory has been very successful.”

“With this book, we finally have an introductory book on plant roots that can be read, cover-to-cover, by undergraduate and/or graduate students and researchers…”

“This book builds chapter by chapter, leading the reader to a thorough understanding of the impact of roots on the environment and the environment on roots with its many attendant implications.”
Richard W. Zobel in Crop Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, November-December 2006 (Crop Science Society of America)

“This book is very well designed for its target readership in advanced university or college courses that cover soil - plant relationships, as well as soil, plant, agricultural and environmental scientists who are seeking to widen their knowledge of root growth and functions. Like this reviewer, they will find many useful references for further reading. Last, and by no means least, the very clear style of writing means that the book should be attractive to readers whose native language is not english.”
Annals of Botany, 1-2, 2007

“…plant roots are often forgotten even by botanists, who focus instead on foliage laves, frilly flowers, harvested fruit and the finale, and/or starting point, seeds. Author Gregory Peter, Director of the Scottish Crop Research Institute, is a root specialist…[hence]…Root anatomy and function are the subjects of this book. Each chapter provides numerous reverences, diagrams, graphs and tables, and one includes a series of colour photographs. This book will be a useful reference tool for plant, crop and soil scientists, plant physiologists, and ecologists. It will benefit libraries in Universities, agricultural colleges and plant research institutes.”
Dorothea Bedigan in Plant Science Bulletin, Volume 53, Issue 2, July-August 2007.

Book Description
The root system is a vital part of the plant and therefore understanding roots and their functioning is key to agricultural, plant and soil scientists.

In Plant Roots Professor Peter Gregory brings together recent developments in techniques and an improved understanding of plant and soil interactions to present a comprehensive look at this important relationship.

Stephanie Frank Singer, “Linearity, Symmetry, and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom”
Springer; 1 edition (August 9, 2005) | ISBN: 0387246371 | 398 pages | PDF | 2,1 Mb

“Here is another book which is centered around the SO(4)-invariance of the 1/r potential. the present author always remains on a very solid mathematical ground. The author prepares carefully the mathematical ingredients (Hilbert spaces, Lie groups, Lie algebras, representations). The style of this senior-level undergraduate text is very fluent and in the best sense entertaining.” (Evelyn Weimar-Woods, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1088 (14), 2006)

Book Description

The predictive power of mathematics in quantum phenomena is one of the great intellectual successes of the 20th century. This textbook, aimed at undergraduate or graduate level students (depending on the college or university), concentrates on how to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of basic state of a quantum system from only two ingredients: the symmetry and the linear model of quantum mechanics. This method, involving the mathematical area of representation theory or group theory, combines three core mathematical subjects, namely, linear algebra, analysis and abstract algebra. Wide applications of this method occur in crystallography, atomic structure, classification of manifolds with symmetry, and other areas.

The topics unfold systematically, introducing the reader first to an important example of a quantum system with symmetry, the single electron in a hydrogen atom. Then the reader is given just enough mathematical tools to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of electronic orbital based solely on the physical spherical symmetry of the hydrogen atom. The final chapters address the related ideas of quantum spin, measurement and entanglement.

This user-friendly exposition, driven by numerous examples and exercises, requires a solid background in calculus and familiarity with either linear algebra or advanced quantum mechanics. Linearity, Symmetry, and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom will benefit students in mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as a literate general readership.

A separate solutions manual is available to instructors.

Frank K. Hawang, Frank Hwang , “The Mathematical Theory of Nonblocking Switching Networks”
World Scientific Publishing Company; 2 edition (October 28, 2004) | ISBN: 9812560424 | 200 pages | PDF | 1,2 Mb

The first edition of this book covered in depth the mathematical theory of nonblocking multistage interconnecting networks, which is applicable to both communication and computer networks. This comprehensively updated version puts more emphasis to the multicast and multirate networks which are under fast development recently due to their wide applications. This comprehensively updated new edition not only introduces the classical theory of the fundamental point-to-point network but also has a renewed emphasis on the latest multicast and multirate networks. The book can serve as either a one- or two-semester textbook for graduate students of information science, (electronic) communications, and applied mathematics. In addition, as all the relevant literature is organized and evaluated under one structured framework, the volume is an essential reference for researchers in those areas.

British Orthoptic Journal
“It is beautifully laid out and has excellent photographs and drawings …. an excellent text for the intended audience - residents in ophthalmology.’ - American Journal of Ophthalmology

“It is difficult to fault this excellent book. It has become the standard text for trainee ophthalmologists, both in Britain and elsewhere, and can also serve as a comprehensive reference book for practicing ophthalmologists.” - British Journal of Ophthalmology.’

This magnificent text has updated clinical information with splendid new pictorial material, which is presented in an even more appealing and logical layout. The almost un-improvable has been improved and represents a must for all training ophthalmologists and a highly desirable up to date reference (at the very least) for the senior ophthalmologist. - Eye News

Nothing has come close to superseding it in 10 years. If you only ever buy one textbook this is the one. - Optician

This is now virtually a standard text for ophthalmological features, on account of the lavish and super colored illustrations.’ Optical Practitioner’

This beautiful book has become the standard textbook of ophthalmology for those studying for examinations.’ British Orthoptic Journal

Johan Zuidweg, “Next Generation Intelligent Networks”
Artech House Publishers; 1st edition (August 15, 2002) | ISBN: 1580532632 | 366 pages | PDF | 4,2 Mb

If you want an up-to-date, in-depth understanding of next generation intelligent networks (IN), this book is essential reading. It provides you with a comprehensive survey of current and emerging intelligent telecommunications networks, including underlying software, implementation, deployment and standards. It assesses the influence of mobile networks and IP technology on the directions that IN is taking now, and looks at the way middleware is reducing the dependence of service logic on the underlying network protocols. Moreover, it discusses the role of IN in tomorrow’s network.

Next Generation Intelligent Networks investigates how service creation is taking on board state-of-the-art distributed object-oriented programming techniques. The book focuses on emerging software architectures for programming and deploying value-added services, and proposes a vision of value-added services in the network of the future. Learn how new initiatives such as Soft switches, JAIN, Parlay, OSA, TINA and CAMEL help you to more effectively handle the new challenges brought on by the rapid growth of cellular mobile networks and the Internet.
