Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This extended and updated new edition captures developments and results since the original edition and includes a new chapter on two-dimensional thermoelectricity, which concerns itself with effects coupling thermal and electrical conduction in the media.The book starts with a novel unified approach to homogenization, and develops a general theory of microstructure-independent (exact) relations for composite materials that applies to most physical properties of interest, such as conductivity, elasticity, piezoelectricity, thermoelectricity etc. Its methods allow one to obtain a complete list of exact relations in each physical context of interest.Key Features: - Homogenization theory for composite media developed in a novel unified framework covering many physical contexts, such as conductivity, elasticity, piezoelectricity, etc. - Has complete lists of exact relations and links in all physically relevant contexts - Can be used by practitioners, who are not mathematicians by consulting Part III of the book written with such an audience in mind - Would be of interest to broader community of mathematicians in the area of Calculus of Variations.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Icing is a natural phenomenon that impacts various aspects of daily life and safety, including aeronautics, ground transportation, critical operations, power systems (like power lines, wind turbines, and solar panels), communication systems, and infrastructures. In particular, activities at high latitudes or altitudes require energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable ice protection solutions.This book consolidates information on modeling, coating, material preparation, characterization, fabrication, and applications of anti-icing surfaces. It provides a comprehensive understanding of icephobic coating strategies and their industrial applications. Divided into two parts, it covers the theory and physics of icing and presents scientific advances from the SURFICE project, including industry case studies. It's a valuable resource for scientists and engineers interested in surface science and thermodynamics related to icing phenomena.Key features: - Brings together the state-of-the-art physics of icing and anti-icing/icephobic materials with cutting-edge advances in ice-related coating technologies - Integrates information about the modelling, coating and material preparation, characterization and applications of anti-icing surfaces - Covers the fundamentals of anti-icing coating strategies based on icephobicity and the possible implementation into industrial systems - Presents both fundamental and applied research, including case-studies from industry in fields including aeronautics, energy systems and sensor technologies - Based on the outcomes of the EU SURFICE project (surfice-itn.eu).…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The primary goal of this book is to allow students to understand in a critical way two pillars of modern theoretical physics: inflationary theory, and quantum black holes and the information-loss problem. Readers of this text will be well prepared to follow the theoretical developments in the field and undertake research projects as part of an MSc or PhD programme.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This volume tackles more advanced themes often found in longer three-semester, or specialist further advanced postgraduate courses. It provides an introductory review to contemporary advanced topics in QFT, in particular, lattice field theory, topological field configurations, supersymmetry and the AdS/CFT correspondence, and it includes a systematic introduction to the functional renormalization group equation with application in noncommutative scalar field theory. Some non-perturbative methods, which allow exact solutions in lower dimensions, or due to the larger number of symmetries involved, are also discussed. This new edition also includes chapters added on noncommutative field theory and the SYK models.Key Features: - Reorganized, updated and extended new edition - Four new chapters. - Additional exercises - Suitable for extended courses.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a complete and cohesive assessment of plant defence mechanisms in response to various biotic stresses. It also discusses the use of genetic engineering and molecular breeding to generate pathogen-resistant crops, as well as several case studies in the area. In addition, this work offers a path forward for dealing with impending issues. The study of host-pathogen interactions is concerned with the ongoing battle between plants and pathogens throughout their evolution which is generally complex. The appropriate updated information contained in this book, makes it a valuable source of knowledge for all those working in crop development as it presents a comprehensive picture of plant-pathogen interaction.Key Features: - Provides both fundamental and cutting-edge information on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactions. - Gives a comprehensive picture of the plant-pathogen interaction, from the microbe's sensing to the molecular and biochemical changes that occur in plants to attain tolerance/resistance. - Based on a thorough review of the literature, this book discusses all elements of pathogen detection, signalling and immunity. - It lays out a strategy for dealing with impending issues and outlines specific steps to address them effectively. - All chapters will be provided with relevant figures, and the discussion and arguments will be supported by data tables with pertinent references.…
