This book provides an introduction to the essentials of relativistic effects in quantum chemistry, and a reference work that collects all the major developments in this field.
The first English translation of the book that reveals the Cathar stronghold at Montsgur to be the repository of the Holy Grail *; Presents the history of the Papal persecution of the Cathars that lies hidden in the medieval epic Parzival and in the poetry of the troubadours *; Provides new insights into the life and death of this gifted and controversial author Crusade Against the Grail is the daring book that popularized the legend of the Cathars and the Holy Grail.
The new edition of this remarkable textbook offers the reader a conceptually strong introduction to quantum mechanics, but goes beyond this to present a fascinating tour of modern theoretical physics.
Connects fundamental knowledge of multivalent interactions with current practice and state-of-the-art applications Multivalency is a widespread phenomenon, with applications spanning supramolecular chemistry, materials chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and biochemistry.
In Molecular and Computational Modeling of Cardiac Function, a group of prominent professors and researchers explain the fundamental concepts of molecular modeling and illustrate the biomedical applications.
This volume summarises recent developments and highlights new techniques which will define possible future directions for small molecule X-ray crystallography.
This volume contains a representative selection of papers presented at the Tenth European Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-X), held at Beit al-Hikma, seat of the Academie Tunisienne des Sciences, des Arts et des Lettres, in Carthage, Tunisia, September 1-7, 2005.
The first volume in a three-volume set, this is a study of the rise of Persian Sufi spirituality and literature in Islam during the first six Muslim centuries.
This book is a substantially revised and expanded edition reflecting major developments in stochastic numerics since the first edition was published in 2004.
When, forty years ago, as a student of Charles Coulson in Oxford I began work in theoretical chemistry, I was provided with a Brunsviga calculator-a small mechanical device with a handle for propulsion, metal levers for setting the numbers, and a bell that rang to indicate overflow.
The Zen tradition has just two main meditative practices: shikantaza, or "e;just sitting"e;; and introspection guided by the powerful Zen teaching stories called koans.
This book provides a vivid account of the early history of molecular simulation, a new frontier for our understanding of matter that was opened when the demands of theoretical physicists were met by the availability of the modern computers.
African religion is ancestor worship; that is, funeral preparations, burial of the dead with ceremony and pomp, belief in eternal existence of souls of the dead as ancestors, periodic remembrance of ancestors, and belief that they influence the affairs of their living descendants.
This book gives a new and direct approach into the theories of special functions with emphasis on spherical symmetry in Euclidean spaces of ar- bitrary dimensions.
Over the past decade, great strides have been taken in developing methodologies that can treat more and more complex nano- and nano-bio systems embedded in complex environments.
Drawing on Jewish myth, ritual and tradition, as well as the author's own experiences, this original and unique book offers insights into how Jung's psychology and ideas are relevant if understood from a wider, archetypal, perspective.
The name "e;random walk"e; for a problem of a displacement of a point in a sequence of independent random steps was coined by Karl Pearson in 1905 in a question posed to readers of "e;Nature"e;.
A comprehensive yet accessible exploration of quantum chemical methods for the determination of molecular properties of spectroscopic relevance Molecular properties can be probed both through experiment and simulation.
At the heart of coordination chemistry lies the coordinate bond, in its simplest sense arising from donation of a pair of electrons from a donor atom to an empty orbital on a central metalloid or metal.
The French chemist Marcelin Berthelot put forward a classical and by now an often cited sentence revealing the quintessence of the chemical science: "e;La Chimie cree son objet"e;.
This book introduces vibronic coupling density and vibronic coupling constant analyses as a way to understand molecular structure and chemical reactions.
