Impact Tectonics (Impact Studies)

Springer, 2005

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book presents a wide-ranging view of some of the latest research into impacts and some useful reviews. … The book is richly illustrated throughout with pertinent photographs, maps, diagrams and graphs. … All of the articles are clearly written, contain good overviews of the related...

Ancient Engineers' Inventions: Precursors of the Present (History of Mechanism and Machine Science)

Springer, 2009

This book describes inventions and designs of ancient engineers that are the precursors of the present. The ages mainly range from 300 B.C. to 1600 A.D. with some exceptions from before and after this period.

As for the very ancient ones, the book describes inventions (documented by archaeological finds mainly from Pompei, Ercolano and Stabia)...

Hermann von Helmholtzs Mechanism: The Loss of Certainty: A Study on the Transition from Classical to Modern Philosophy of Nature (Archimedes)

Springer, 2008

Two seemingly contradictory tendencies have accompanied the development of the natural sciences in the past 150 years. On the one hand, the natural sciences have been instrumental in effecting a thoroughgoing transformation of social structures and have made a permanent impact on the conceptual world of human beings. This historical period has, on...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction (Von Karman Institute Book)

Springer, 2008

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction grew out of a von Karman Institute (VKI) Lecture Series by the same title first presented in 1985 and repeated with modifications every year since that time.

The objective, then and now, was to present the subject of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to an audience unfamiliar with all but...

Generalized Convexity and Optimization: Theory and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

Springer, 2008

The authors have written a rigorous yet elementary and self-contained book to present, in a unified framework, generalized convex functions, which are the many non-convex functions that share at least one of the valuable properties of convex functions and which are often more suitable for describing real-world problems. The book will be a useful...

How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae

Springer, 2008

The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft.

The book will open with a concise introductory chapter, chronicling the ‘space age’ up to the present, and a brief...

The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis (Topics in Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality)

Springer, 2006

Part of this book was originally written in 1976 when some thirty copies were printed and distributed to interested parties. A wider distribution was planned but never carried out. In re-reading the first edition written 29 years ago, I am struck by the fact that arguments for a nuclear-powered future and a need to develop portable synfuels and new...

Mechatronic Servo System Control: Problems in Industries and their Theoretical Solutions (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

Springer, 2004

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The mechatronic servo system is the major theme studied in this book. … The book contains an index, a glossary of terms, a collection of symbols and a description of experimental devices used in experiments. The book will be useful not only in the research or teaching the mechatronic...

Theoretical Aspects of Heterogeneous Catalysis (Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics)

Springer, 2001

Heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating and complex subject of utmost importance in the present day. Its immense technological and economical importance and the inherent complexity of the catalytic phenomena have stimulated theoretical and experimental studies by a broad spectrum of scientists, including chemists, physicists, chemical...

Routing Congestion in VLSI Circuits: Estimation and Optimization (Integrated Circuits and Systems)

Springer, 2007

With the dramatic increases in on-chip packing densities, routing congestion has become a major problem in chip design. The problem is especially acute as interconnects are also the performance bottleneck in integrated circuits. The solution lies in judicious resource management. This involves intelligent allocation of the available interconnect...

A Practical Introduction to Computer Architecture (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2009

This book blends traditional teaching approaches with the use of mathematics, together with the use of a hardware description language and a concrete processor as vehicles for "hands-on" modelling and experimenting with digital logic and processor design. This unique approach encourages readers to derive their own conclusions via...

LNA-ESD Co-Design for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Springer, 2005

LNA-ESD Co-Design for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers fits in the quest for complete CMOS integration of wireless receiver front-ends. With a combined discussion of both RF and ESD performance, it tackles one of the final obstacles on the road to CMOS integration. The book is conceived as a design guide for those actively involved in the...
