Describing how to investigate all kinds of galaxies through a multifrequency analysis, this text is divided into three different sections. The first describes the data currently available at different frequencies, from X-rays to UV, optical, infrared and radio millimetric and centimetric, while explaining their physical meaning. In the second...

Beginning from first principles and adopting a modular structure, this book develops the fundamental physical methods needed to describe and understand a wide range of seemingly very diverse astrophysical phenomena and processes. For example, the discussion of radiation processes including their spectra is based on Larmor's equation and...

Written by a well-known author in the field, this book presents a modern understanding of the universe based on relativity, quantum physics and their elusive combination. It introduces the crucial theoretical ingredients in an accessible way, starting from the physics of Newton and developing subsequent theories all the way to the modern...

A unique introduction for general readers to the underlying concepts of nanotechnology, covering a wide spectrum ranging from biology to quantum computing. The material is presented in the simplest possible way, including a few mathematical equations, but not mathematical derivations. It also outlines as simply as possible the major...

The third, partly revised and enlarged edition of this introductory reference summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations occurring in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. A representative collection of fundamental terms and definitions from quantum physics and chemistry,...

The second edition of this accepted reference work has been updated to reflect the rapid developments in the field and now covers both 2D and 3D imaging.
Written by expert practitioners from leading companies operating in machine vision, this one-stop handbook guides readers through all aspects of image acquisition and image...

Das Buch ist als Einführung konzipiert, die einen umfassenden und interdisziplinären Überblick zum Phänomen Radio bietet. Radio ist das älteste der elektronischen Medien, vermag in der Nutzungsdauer mit dem Fernsehen zu konkurrieren, gleichwohl kommt es über die Rolle eines ´Nebenher´-Mediums selten...

Wie Kinder lesen und schreiben lernen ist bis heute Gegenstand von Kontroversen, die sich in unterschiedlichen Methoden der Gestaltung des Anfangsunterrichts widerspiegeln. Fibellehrgänge, Spracherfahrungsansatz und das Konzept 'Lesen durch Schreiben' sind die meist verbreiteten Konzepte, die systematisch dargestellt aber auch...
