Physics and Geometry of Disorder: Percolation Theory
his book is about percolation theory and its various applications, which occur mostly in physics and chemistry. The book is self sufficient in that it contains chapters on elementary probability theory and Monte Carlo simulation. Most attention is paid to the relation between the geometrical and physical properties of systems in the vicinity of their percolation thresholds.
Self-assessment Colour Review Of Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery
Compiled by an international group of authors using clinical case presentations, this book covers all aspects of soft tissue surgery including perioperative patient management, and surgical preparation and technique. The cases are presented to test the reader with surgical problems and to discuss common complications and sources of error in clinical management.
Symbolic dynamics is a rapidly growing area of dynamical systems. Although it originated as a method to study general dynamical systems, it has found significant uses in coding for data storage and transmission as well as in linear algebra. This book is the first general textbook on symbolic dynamics and its applications to coding.
Biology's First Law: The Tendency for Diversity and Complexity to Increase in Evolutionary Systems
Biology’s First Law shows how the Zero-Force Evolutionary Law can be applied to the study of diversity and complexity and examines its wider implications for biology. Intended for evolutionary biologists, paleontologists, and other scientists studying complex systems, and written in a concise and engaging format that speaks to students and interdisciplinary practitioners alike, this book will also find an appreciative audience in the philosophy of science.
The “bible of antenna engineering” fully updated to provide state-of-the-art coverage in antenna design and applications Edited by John L. Volakis, one of the world's leading authorities in antenna engineering, this trusted resource covers all the classic antenna types plus many new types and designs used in communications systems, satellites, radars, and emerging applications from WLAN to automotive systems to biomedical to smart antennas.
