New Trends in Statistical Physics
Author: Alfredo Mac¡asPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 981430753X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Prof Leopoldo Garcia-Colin will become 80 years old in 2010, therefore we are interested in the publication of a Festschrift (book) to honor him. Prof Garcia-Colin has worked in many different fields of statistical physics, and has applied it to biological physics, solid state physics, relativity and cosmology. We are planning a 500 pages book with original and peer-reviewed articles from his friends and former students. We may buy about 100 copies of it.

Corrosion
Author: Stephen D. CramerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Corrosion and anti-corrosives
Languages : en
Pages : 1190
Book Description
The first book in a two-volume revision of the 1987 Metals Handbook, 9th edition, addresses the needs of the global technical community for current information. Chapters on fundamentals cover the theory of aqueous and gaseous corrosion from thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives, while chapters on forms of corrosion tell how to recognize different types and the forces that influence them. Testing and evaluation methods are addressed as are methods of protection and topics related to redesigning for corrosion control and prevention. A section on tools for the corrosionist provides conventions and definitions, information sources and databases, and information on analytical instruments. The editors are affiliated with the Albany Research Center, US Department of Energy. Annotation :2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Fundamentals de Ciencia de Polimeros
Author: Juan J. IruinPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000725456
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
This is a new, basic introduction to polymer science. It is both comprehensive and readable. The authors are leading educators in this field with extensive backgrounds in industrial and academic polymer research. The text starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This provides an understanding of some of the key features of the various mechanisms of homopolymerization and copolymerization which are discussed in following chapters. Also discussed in these chapters are the kinetics and statistics of polymerization, with a separate chapter on the characterization of chain structure by spectroscopic methods. The next part of the text deals with chain conformation, structure and morphology, leading to a discussion of crystallization, melting and glass transition. The discussion then moves from solid state to solution properties where solution thermodynamics is introduced. This provides the basis for discussion of the measurement of molecular weight by various solution methods. The final chapter deals with mechanical and rheological properties which are discussed from a phenomenological continuum approach and then in terms of a fundamental molecular perspective. Altogether, this new text provides a comprehensive, readable introduction to and overview of polymer science. It is well illustrated with schematics prepared for this text to help in the understanding of key concepts. It will provide a basic understanding of today's polymer science for technical and engineering personnel not already familiar with the subject, and a convenient update and overview for materials scientists.
New Trends In Statistical Physics: Festschrift In Honor Of Leopoldo Garcia-colin's 80th Birthday
Author: Alfredo MaciasPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814464848
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
This volume presents a collection of original and peer-reviewed articles related with the applications of Statistical Physics dedicated to Professor Dr Leopoldo García-Colín, in commemoration of his 80th birthday in 2010. Professor García-Colín has worked in many different fields of statistical physics, and has applied it to biological physics, solid state physics, relativity and cosmology. These are pioneering works of Prof García-Colín involved in all various fields which have their roots in Mexico. His influence is found in each of these works that cover a wide range of topics including thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and kinetic theory applied to biological systems, cosmology and condensed matter, among others.Papers contributed by important experts in the field, such as J Lebowitz, as well as the latest classical applications of statistical physics can be found in this volume.
