Book Description
The Atlas Array By: B. L. Barger In this follow-up novel to The Sirius Connection, Maxine, the Qatar family, a scholar of antiquities, and three mysterious sisters of the stone travel through time to Egypt 2900 BC, to find ancient Guardians they believe came to Earth and built a planetary weapon array—a weapon they need to reactivate in modern times to defend against a second swarm that threatens to annihilate Earth once and for all. Throughout their quest, Maxine and her companions find themselves in constant conflict with ancient Guardians who now call themselves Osiris, Baal, Poseidon, and Zeus, and who believe themselves to be gods. After escaping repeated attempts on their lives, our heroes discover that a Guardian who calls himself Atlas is the one they must find as he is the engineer who designed the planetary weapon array. To free Atlas from his imprisonment by Zeus, Maxine and company are forced into the aftermath of a civil war, while an active volcano threatens to undo everything. Will they escape from those who would oppose them to bring Atlas through time before the swarm descends?

Infrared Astronomy with Arrays
Author: Ian S. McLean
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401110700
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
The idea for another conference on the theme of Infrared Astronomy with Arrays actually goes back to March 1987. At a party held in my home at the end of the Hilo conference, excitement was running high and everyone present was in favor of another meeting. I recall suggesting to Al Fowler that the next meeting could be in Tucson. Despite Al's reply to the effect that Hawaii was a much nicer location, a meeting was held in Tucson three years later. That meeting focussed more on the astrophysics which had been accomplished with the detectors, rather than on techniques and methods. However, it was already apparent in February of 1990 that a new generation of larger m arrays would soon supersede the 64x64 class of devices and so, having just moved from the UK Infrared Telescope unit in Hawaii to join with Eric Becklin in his move to UCLA, it seemed to me that another Hilo-style conference was appropriate, and Eric agreed.

Brain Edema XII
Author: T. Kuroiwa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3709106516
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
Brain edema is a simple phenomenon – an abnormal increase of brain tissue volume by the increase of brain tissue water content. However the etiology is not simple and relating to a wide variety of neurological disorders including ischemia, trauma, tumor, hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. It is still a major cause of death in the neurological/neurosurgical ward. This volume is an up-to-date report on progress in brain edema research, diagnosis and treatment, including papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Brain Edema and Brain Tissue Injury in 2002. Major topics include molecular biology and blood-brain barrier disorders, ischemic and traumatic brain edema, imaging and diagnosis of brain edema, treatment and radiation effect. Various papers in the rapidly growing fields of neuroimaging and molecular medicine are also included.

Recipes for Continuation
Author: Harry Dankowicz
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 1611972566
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 585
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical methodology of parameter continuation. It develops a systematic formalism for constructing and implementing abstract representations of continuation problems with equal emphasis on theoretical rigor, algorithm development and software engineering. The book demonstrates the use of fully developed toolbox templates for boundary-value problems to the analysis of periodic orbits, quasi-periodic invariant tori, and connecting orbits between equilibria and/or periodic orbits. The book contains extensive and fully-worked examples that illustrate the application of the MATLAB-based Computational Continuation Core (COCO) to cutting-edge research in applied dynamical systems. Many exercises and open-ended projects on both theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the material are provided, suitable for self-study and course assignments. It is intended for students and teachers of nonlinear dynamics and engineering at the advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate level, as well as practitioners engaged in modeling dynamical systems or software development.

Biological Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
Author: Roland A. Fleck
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118663241
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 720
Book Description
The go‐to resource for microscopists on biological applications of field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM) The evolution of scanning electron microscopy technologies and capability over the past few years has revolutionized the biological imaging capabilities of the microscope—giving it the capability to examine surface structures of cellular membranes to reveal the organization of individual proteins across a membrane bilayer and the arrangement of cell cytoskeleton at a nm scale. Most notable are their improvements for field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), which when combined with cryo-preparation techniques, has provided insight into a wide range of biological questions including the functionality of bacteria and viruses. This full-colour, must-have book for microscopists traces the development of the biological field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM) and highlights its current value in biological research as well as its future worth. Biological Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy highlights the present capability of the technique and informs the wider biological science community of its application in basic biological research. Starting with the theory and history of FEGSEM, the book offers chapters covering: operation (strengths and weakness, sample selection, handling, limitations, and preparation); Commercial developments and principals from the major FEGSEM manufacturers (Thermo Scientific, JEOL, HITACHI, ZEISS, Tescan); technical developments essential to bioFEGSEM; cryobio FEGSEM; cryo-FIB; FEGSEM digital-tomography; array tomography; public health research; mammalian cells and tissues; digital challenges (image collection, storage, and automated data analysis); and more. Examines the creation of the biological field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM) and discusses its benefits to the biological research community and future value Provides insight into the design and development philosophy behind current instrument manufacturers Covers sample handling, applications, and key supporting techniques Focuses on the biological applications of field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), covering both plant and animal research Presented in full colour An important part of the Wiley-Royal Microscopical Series, Biological Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy is an ideal general resource for experienced academic and industrial users of electron microscopy—specifically, those with a need to understand the application, limitations, and strengths of FEGSEM.
