Als es Wissenschaftlern an der Technischen Universität Wien im Jahr 2001 zum ersten Mal gelang, Lichtblitze zu produzieren, die nur noch Attosekunden dauern, bedeutete dies den Beginn einer neuen Disziplin in den Naturwissenschaften: Die Attosekundenphysik war geboren! Jetzt sollte es möglich sein, Elektronen zu fotografieren und damit dem Mikrokosmos einige seiner am strengsten gehüteten Geheimni…

This title is an essential primer for all students who need some background in microbiology and want to become familiar with the universal importance of bacteria for all forms of life. Written by Gerhard Gottschalk, Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and one of the most prominent microbiologists in our time, this text covers the topic in its whole breadth and does not only focus on bac…

Eine Philosophie der Chemie – (fast) volliges Neuland fur den Philosophen und Wissenschaftshistoriker und Angebot einer kulturalistischen Alternative zu dem uberwiegend naturalistischen Bild, das sich der Chemiker von seiner eigenen Wissenschaft macht! Mit diesem Buch wird erstmals der Versuch unternommen, eine moderne Naturwissenschaft erkenntnis- und wissenschaftstheoretisch zu rekonstruieren. D…

While its results normally complement the information obtained by chemical experiments, computer computations can in some cases predict unobserved chemical phenomena Electronic-Structure Computational Methods for Large Systems gives readers a simple description of modern electronic-structure techniques. It shows what techniques are pertinent for particular problems in biotechnology and nanotechnol…

This series of five volumes proposes an integrated description of physical processes modeling used by scientific disciplines from meteorology to coastal morphodynamics. Volume 1 describes the physical processes and identifies the main measurement devices used to measure the main parameters that are indispensable to implement all these simulation tools. Volume 2 presents the different theories in a…

This guide to investing in the bioenergy market covers the topic from both a scientific, economic and political perspective. It describes the increasing number of second generation biodiesel projects which are now emerging in anticipation of growing sustainability concerns by governments, and in response to market demands for improved process efficiencies and greater feedstock production yields. T…

In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on…

Introducing Proteomics gives a concise and coherent overview of every aspect of current proteomics technology, which is a rapidly developing field that is having a major impact within the life and medical sciences. This student-friendly book, based on a successful course developed by the author, provides its readers with sufficient theoretical background to be able to plan, prepare, and analyze a …

The book is intended to serve as lecture material for courses on relativity at undergraduate level. Although there has been much written on special relativity the present book will emphasize the real applications of relativity. In addition, it will be physically designed with the use of box summaries so as to allow easy access of practical results. The book will be composed of eight chapters. Chap…
