In many areas of physics, such as astrophysics, solid-state physics, nuclear physics and particle physics, a major outstanding problem is a better understanding of corre- lation phenomena.
This volume contains the lectures and seminars presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "e;Applied Laser Spectroscopy"e; the fourteenth course of the Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics, held under the supervision of the Quantum Electronics Division of the European Physical Society.
This volume is based on the proceedings of the Phytochemical Society of North America's 23rd Annual Meet- ing on "e;Phytochemical Adaptations to Stress"e; which was held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, July 5-8, 1983.
Although the empirical treatment of fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media is over a century old, only in the last three decades has the transport in these heterogeneous systems been addressed in detail.
Developed for humanities students at Yale and intended for the general reader interested in flight, this book is about aerodynamics in the broadest sense.
The aim of this book is to impart a sound understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the fundamentals of the theory of vibration and its applications.
Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline borne of the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal.
"e;I do not think at all that I am able to present here any procedure of investiga- tion that was not perceived long ago by aZl men of talent; and I do not promise at all that you can find here anything quite new of this kind.
Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence bf interest in the modern as well as the clas- sical techniques of applied mathematics.
The content of this book is based, largely, on the core curriculum in geophys- ical fluid dynamics which I and my colleagues in the Department of Geophysical Sciences at The University of Chicago have taught for the past decade.
The last ten years have seen rapid advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology, allowing unprecedented manipulation of nanoscale structures controlling solar capture, conversion, and storage.

Addressing a field which, until now, has not been sufficiently investigated, Essentials of Natural Gas Microturbines thoroughly examines several natural gas microturbine technologies suitable not only for distributed generation but also for the automotive industry.
While strides are being made in the research and development of environmentally acceptable and more sustainable alternative fuels-including efforts to reduce emissions of air pollutants associated with combustion processes from electric power generation and vehicular transportation-fossil fuel resources are limited and may soon be on the verge of d
This book presents a summary of the research progress in the field of petroleum radiation processing, which has produced technology that offers effective and economic solutions for some pressing oil refining challenges.
Lead-Acid Battery Technologies: Fundamentals, Materials, and Applications offers a systematic and state-of-the-art overview of the materials, system design, and related issues for the development of lead-acid rechargeable battery technologies.
With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human activities, environment, and fluid motion.
Suitable for researchers and graduate students in fluid dynamics, astrophysics, and other areas of physics, this book clearly elucidates the dynamics and behavior of waves and oscillations in various mediums.
