The aim of this book is to offer to the next generation of young researchers a broad and largely self-contained introduction to the physics of heavy ion collisions and the quark-gluon plasma, providing material beyond that normally found in the available textbooks. For each of the main aspects - QCD thermodynamics and global features of the QGP,  collision hydrodynamics, electromagnetic probes, jet and quarkonium production, color glass conden...

Network industries are characterised by existence ofpositive consumption externalities, referred to asnetwork externalities. This book deals with theeconomic aspects of some technological issues inindustries that exhibit network externalities. Thework particularly focuses on markets for systems. Acollection of two or more components that work onlywhen used together forms a system. Systems exhibitnetwork externality, which arises due to thecomp...

Mesoscopic physics has made great strides in the last few years. It is an area of research that is attractive to many graduate students of theoretical condensed matter physics. The techniques that are needed to understand it go beyond the conventional perturbative approaches that still form the bulk of the graduate lectures that are given to students. Even when the non-perturbative techniques are presented, they often are presented within an a...

This book is a collection of papers which reflect the recent trends in the philosophy and history of molecular biology. It brings together historians, philosophers, and molecular biologists who reflect on the discipline's emergence in the 1950's, its explosive growth, and the directions in which it is going. Questions addressed include: (i) what are the limits of molecular biology? (ii) What is the relation of molecular biology to older subdis...

Perceptual Organization for Artificial Vision Systems is an edited collection of invited contributions based on papers presented at The Workshop on Perceptual Organization in Computer Vision, held in Corfu, Greece, in September 1999. The theme of the workshop was `Assessing the State of the Community and Charting New Research Directions.' Perceptual organization can be defined as the ability to impose structural regularity on sensory data, so...

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) are used to convert the digital inputs back to the analog signals. For any mixed signal system the ADC and DAC are the two most important building blocks. The demand for-high speed, low cost and low power DACs are sharply increasing, with the advancement of the modern telecommunication systems. In present scenario for VLSI design, CMOS technology is widely preferred for high packing density and low cost. In t...

Written by the author of the lattice system, this book describes lattice in considerable depth, beginning with the essentials and systematically delving into specific low levels details as necessary. No prior experience with lattice is required to read the book, although basic familiarity with R is assumed. The book contains close to 150 figures produced with lattice. Many of the examples emphasize principles of good graphical design, almost a...

In early economic literature higher per-capita income have been associated with, and in most cases claimed to have led to lower fertility and mortality. New research, however, argues in favor of an opposite causal direction. This book is an effort to build theoretical models that highlight the interplay between these demographic variables and macroeconomic indicators (such as growth and inequality of income) in a way that has not been discusse...

In recent times, seismic imaging efforts around the world have focused on increasingly complex earth models that are not only heterogeneous, but anisotropic as well. Focusing my investigation on the simplest realistic heterogeneous anisotropic model --- factorized VTI (transversely isotropic with a vertical symmetry axis) medium with constant vertical and lateral gradients in vertical velocity, I develop insights into how anisotropy and hetero...

How to fly the legendary fighter plane in combat using the manuals and instructions supplied by the RAF during the Second World War. An amazing array of leaflets, books and manuals were issued by the War Office during the Second World War to aid pilots in flying the Supermarine Spitfire, here for the first time they are collated into a single book. An introduction is supplied by expert aviation historian Dilip Sarkar. Other sections include ai...

Losing weight is the solution to all of basketball star Leah Mandeville's problems--or so she thinks. Although it seems to be working, the problems is that Leah doesn't feel good. And her life is taking a huge turn for the worse, despite her new OperfectO body. Original.
