The aim of this volume is to offer a balanced overview of molecular Rydberg spectroscopy as it has developed over recent decades. Recent evolution has split Rydberg spectroscopy into two apparently distinct fields: the one concerns the low (n=3-5) Rydberg states, the other the very high (typically n>150) Rydberg states. The former is aimed...
This volume contains the papers and poster abstracts presented at the 25th NATO/CCMS International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and Its Application held in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, during 15-19 October 2001. This ITM was jointly organized by the University of Aveiro, Portugal (Pilot country) and by the Catholic University of...
Word problems are the most difficult part of any math course –- and the most important to both the SATs and other standardized tests. This book teaches proven methods for analyzing and solving any type of math word problem.
In every area of mathematics, you will encounter ‘‘word’’ problems. Some...
This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at problem solving research and practice over the last fifteen years. The first chapter describes differences in types of problems, individual differences among problem-solvers, as well as the domain and context within which a problem is being solved. Part one describes six kinds...
The integrated circuit with each new generation has been characterized by increasing
functionality. In the 1980’s Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSIC) began to
emerge with transistor counts approaching one million plus per chip! The IC package
quickly became more than a “chip carrier”. Now the packaging...
With the turn of the century our ability to collect and store geospatial information has increased considerably. This has resulted in ever-increasing amounts of heterogeneous geospatial data, an issue that poses new challenges and opportunities. As these rich sources of data are made available, users rely, now more than ever, on the...
This book is about the thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that make
up the metabolism of living organisms. It is not an introductory text, but the
fundamental principles of thermodynamics are reviewed. The reader does need
some background in thermodynamics, such as that provided by a first course in
physical...
This book has originated from lectures on regulation and signal transduction that are
offered to students of biochemistry, biology and chemistry at the University of Bayreuth.
The idea to write a book on signal transduction was born during the preparations
of these lectures where I realized that it is extremely difficult to achieve...
Essentials of Computational Chemistry provides a balanced introduction to this dynamic subject. Suitable for both experimentalists and theorists, a wide range of samples and applications are included drawn from all key areas. The book carefully leads the reader thorough the necessary equations providing information explanations...
The number-one New York Times-bestselling novelist Patricia Cornwell is known the world over for her brilliant storytelling, the courage of her characters, and the state-of-the-art forensic methods they employ.
In this headline-making new work of nonfiction, Cornwell turns her trademark skills for meticulous research...
Nutrition is one of the most important factors that impact health in all
areas of the lifecycle. Pregnant women need adequate food and health care
to deliver a healthy baby who has a good birth weight and a fighting chance
for survival. In many regions of the world, the infant mortality rate is very
high, meaning that many...
Since the first edition of this book was published, much has happened in the field of neural networks. The authors reflect these changes by updating and introducing material on new developments including neurocontrol, pattern analysis and dynamic systems. This book should be useful for undergraduate students of neural networks.
