Intended as a first introduction to the micromechanics of porous media, this book entitled “Microporomechanics” deals with the mechanics and physics of multiphase porous materials at nano and micro scales. It is composed of a logical and didactic build up from fundamental concepts to state-of-the-art theories. It features four parts: following a brief introduction to the mathematical rules for ups…
This book brings together a wealth of scientific findings and ecological knowledge to survey what we have learned about the “Wet Tropics” rainforests of North Queensland, Australia. This interdisciplinary text is the first book to provide such a holistic view of any tropical forest environment, including the social and economic dimensions. The most thorough assessment of a tropical forest landscap…

In this ready reference, top academic researchers, industry players and government officers join forces to develop commercial concepts for the transition from current nuclear or fossil fuel-based energy to renewable energy systems within a limited time span. They take into account the latest science and technology, including an analysis of the feasibility and impact on the environment, economy and…
Induced mutagenesis is a common and promising method for screening for new crops with improved properties. This title introduces the different methods and then focuses on the screening, detection and analysis of the novel mutations. Written by a global team of authors the book is an indispensable tool for all scientists working on crop breeding in industry and academia.
Written by major contributors to the field who are well known within the community, this is the first comprehensive summary of the many results generated by this approach to quantum optics to date. As such, the book analyses selected topics of quantum optics, focusing on atom-field interactions from a group-theoretical perspective, while discussing the principal quantum optics models using algebra…
High Performance Pigments have become increasingly important in recent years, with a growth rate well in advance of the more classical types of pigments. This book provides up-to-date information on the market for high performance pigments, synthesis, reaction mechanisms, physical and chemical properties, applications, regulatory affairs, toxicology and ecotoxicology. It is the only one on the mar…
This up-to-date handbook covers the main topics of preparation, characterization and properties of complex metal-based layer systems. The authors – an outstanding group of researchers – discuss advanced methods for structure, chemical and electronic state characterization with reference to the properties of thin functional layers, such as metallization and barrier layers for microelectronics, magn…
This seminal series, first edited by Ernest Eliel, responsible for some of the major advances in stereochemistry and the winner of the ACS Priestley Medal in 1996, provides coverage of the major developments of the field of stereochemistry. The scope of this series is broadly defined to encompass all fields of chemical and biological sciences that are founded on molecular and supramolecular intera…
Epithelial cells cover the outer and inner surfaces of the body, forming a selective polarized barrier between the intercellualar space and the 'external' world. Linking the cells of this continuous layer and contributing to epithelial organization and function are specialized membrane domains–desmosomes, gap junctions, and occluding junctions. The contributors to this multidisciplinary symposium …

Книга Натальи Долининой «Прочитаем “Онегина” вместе» посвящена знаменитому роману А. С. Пушкина. Это не научное исследование и не комментарий, а свободный разговор о пушкинских героях и о личности самого поэта. Вместе с читателем Н. Г. Долинина размышляет, почему этот роман так важен для нас сегодня, какие темы и проблемы волнуют нас – дружба и любовь, эгоизм и честность, смысл жизни – то, что вол…
Книга Натальи Долининой посвящена роману М. Ю. Лермонтова «Герой нашего времени». Вместе с читателем она размышляет над противоречивым, сложным и обаятельным характером Печорина, над трагичной судьбой, которая была уготована ему и его поколению. Горькой и одинокой неизбежно становится жизнь человека, даже сильного и яркого, если он лишён радости дружбы и любви, если он не способен на верность, есл…
