A Cultural History of Physics
University of Surrey, UK
Károly Simonyi
With two remarkable ideas, Albert Einstein revolutionized our view of the universe: first, nothing can travel faster than light, and second, spacetime is warped and stretched by the gravity. Theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili finally lays science fiction to rest as he opens up Einstein’s universe. Leading readers gently and light-heartedly through the dizzying world of space and time, he gives us the recipe for a time machine, capable of taking us Back to the Future, to Alice’s Wonderland, or on a trip with the Terminator.
Written by esteemed Hungarian scientist and engineer Károly Simonyi, this translation of a classic and comprehensive history of physics combines a wideranging, in-depth account of the science of physics with an insightful interpretation of the cultural context in which these experimental discoveries and conceptual interpretations developed. A wealth of original sources and illustrations, both technical and historical, allow readers to get involved in an intellectual dialogue with the great scientific minds that created our understanding of the physical world.

Handbook of Optofluidics
Textbook
Fundamentals of Nonlinear Optics
Edited by
Peter E. Powers
Holger Schmidt
University of Dayton, Ohio, USA
University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
Highlighting recent developments and key applications throughout, this text begins with the wave equation in its simplest form. The author carries readers gently to deeper comprehension by progressively removing simplifying assumptions. He guides readers to a clear understanding of core aspects of three wave interactions, including second harmonic generation, sum and difference frequency generation, and the electro-optic effect. The concepts of phase matching, bandwidths, and gain unfold naturally from these formalisms and extend well to higher order processes, such as four-wave mixing, Raman, Brillouin, and two-photon processes.
Optofluidics is highly dependent on the successful integration of photonic integrated circuits with microfluidic or nanofluidic systems. This handbook provides detailed coverage of this emerging field with chapters divided into three main sections. The first part defines a set of foundational principles for the field, the second discusses novel devices with optical properties manipulated by fluids, and the third covers state-of-the-art methods for particle detection and manipulation primarily being developed for biosensing and biomedical applications.

The theoretical methods of quantum chemistry have matured to the point that accurate predictions can be made and experiments can be understood for a wide range of important gas-phase phenomena. A large part of this success can be attributed to the maturation of hierarchies of approximation. Until recently, these hierarchies had not been available in condensed-phase chemistry, but recent advances in the field have now led to a group of methods that are capable of reaching this goal. This book addresses these new methods and the problems to which they can be applied.
Featuring real-world applications from engineering and science, this text is the first book on ODEs to include relevant computer code and instructions of MATLAB®, Mathematica®, and Maple™. The authors explain how to use these programs to solve ODEs and qualitatively understand autonomous ODEs. The book embeds the computer algebra code throughout, presenting the syntax next to the relevant theory. It fully describes approximations used to obtain numerical solutions and includes numerous appendices to supplement learning. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.

This text cuts through much of the confusion to provide readers with an exploration of the theoretical machinery of quantum mechanics that is as authoritative and academically rigorous as it is intriguingly comprehensible. Requiring no more than school-level physics and mathematics, the book is accessible to readers with an interest in understanding how quantum theory came to be and the myriad ways it extends the reach of human knowledge. It separates fact from speculation regarding quantum physics’ ability to provide a starting point for philosophical queries.
Chemical thermodynamics is at a juncture, with much of chemical science assisted by digital computations weighted toward both industry and information. Current studies of thermodynamics, though, do not reflect this. This book details how thermodynamic transformations are grounded on the insights derived from an intimate knowledge of modern information theory. Going beyond classical thermodynamics and information theory, the author explores the fusion of molecular information and electronic structure theory, non-equilibrium and finite time thermodynamics, quantum computation, and applications of information theory to bioinformatics, proteomics, and genomics.

It presents the latest research by US Department of Defense engineers and scientists, along with their academic and industrial research partners. Some of the topics and simulations discussed can be applied to other classes of chemical compounds, such as those used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Fire safety typically focuses on preventing ignition and reducing flame spread while neglecting fire toxicity, but assessment of toxic effects is increasingly recognized as key in the assessment of fire hazards. This is the first substantive reference on fire toxicity and the only scientific work on the subject in the last 15 years. An international team of leading experts discusses types of toxic effluents that fires produce, their physiological effects, methods for generation and assessment of fire toxicity, current and proposed regulations, and approaches to modeling the toxic impact of fires.

Since the 1920s, modern powder metallurgy has been used to produce a wide range of structural powder metallurgy components, self-lubricating bearings, and cutting tools. The conventional method involves the production of metal powders and the manufacture of useful objects from such powders by die compaction and sintering. Powder injection molding permits the production of stronger, more uniform, and more complex powder metallurgy parts. A detailed discussion of powder metallurgy materials and products is given in this book.
Solidification is one of the oldest processes for producing useful implements and remains one of the most important modern commercial processes. Since the 1980s, rapid and fundamental developments in the understanding of solidification have come from both analytical theories and the widespread availability of powerful computational techniques. This book describes the fundamentals of the technology in the context of these recent developments, presenting them in a coherent way and using consistent notation.

Tribology of Interface Layers
Advances in Polyolefin Nanocomposites Edited by

Vikas Mittal
Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc., Albany, New York, USA
BASF SE, Polymer Research, Ludwigshafen, Germany
Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasihydrodynamic features that allow them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers. This text illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, the book shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes.
This volume elucidates advancements in polyolefin nanocomposites, which have recently shown to be commercially viable as nanocomposites across a number of fields, including biomedical science and aerospace and automotive engineering. The book focuses on theoretical models to understand the organicinorganic interfaces in polyolefins and provides a detailed description of the recently developed models for property prediction of these nanocomposites. It concentrates on developments not only with the aluminosilicate fillers, but also with equally important fillers such as double layer hydroxides and nanotubes.

Mechanochemical processing is a novel and cost-effective method of producing a wide range of nanopowders. It involves the use of conventional high energy ball mill to initiate chemical reactions and structural changes. The resulting nanopowders are then used in the production of ceramic and metallic components using sintering and other powder metallurgy techniques to produce net shape components. Without using mechanochemical processing, production of the precursor nanopowders would require significant energy inputs. This book focuses on this revolutionizing technique for the manufacture of many advanced materials. Catalog no.
