Introduces the physics of creep, concentrating on the principles underlying observable phenomena. A mathematical introduction is followed by an exposition of the mechanisms of creep and diffusion in alloys and superalloys.

Protein engineering endeavors to design new peptides and proteins or to change the structural and/or functional characteristics of existing ones for specific purposes, opening the way for the development of new drugs. This work develops in a comprehensive way the theoretical formulation for the methods used in computer-assisted modeling and predictions, starting from the basic concepts and proceeding to the more sophisticated methods, such as ...

Long proven as an analytical tool of uncommon accuracy and utility, particle-induced X-ray emission has enjoyed a solid, if narrow, reputation in the area of chemical analysis. Capable of detecting elemental concentrations down to parts per million, PIXE is now a standard component of the analytical arsenal of the nuclear physics laboratory. Yet in wider avenues of chemical research, PIXE technology is still relatively new and untested. An ins...

Die besondere Leistung dieser Biographie liegt darin, daß Goethes soziale und geistige Umwelt als Voraussetzung für seine literarische Tätigkeit erschlossen wird. Der Kunst Nicholas Boyles gelingt es, die persönliche und literarische Entwicklung Goethes vor diesem Hintergrund zu erschließen, dem Leser die Augen für verborgene Aspekte seines Lebens und für unbekannte Zusammenhänge zu öffnen.

Two areas have fascinated me for a long time. One is the micro economic theory of consumer behavior, the other one the role of space in economic processes. Usually, the two don't go together very well. In more advanced versions of microeconomic consumer theory its economic actor may face uncertainty, have to allocate resources over time, or have to take into ac­ count the characteristics of products, but rarely deals with space. He/she inhabit...

Many separate environmental from other social issues in their analyses of locally unwanted land use (LULU). This work argues that the issues are connected and must be addressed jointly. It asks, "What is the appropriate distribution of land development rights and responsibilities overall?".

Amelia Bedelia is always getting herself into trouble! When Mrs. Rogers asks for cereal with her coffee, Amelia Bedelia does exactly what she is told, she puts cereal in the coffee. Mrs. Rogers is so angry she fires her! Poor Amelia Bedelia must look for another job. At each place she tries-the beauty shop, the dress shop, and the doctor's office-Amelia Bedelia keeps getting mixed up. Is there anything Amelia Bedelia can do well?

32 pp. Pub: 8/95.Reissued by popular demand, this irresistible cumulative tale has become a classic since its first publication in 1981. "Immensely satisfying edge-of-the-seat fun for very small listeners", wrote Kirkus in a pointed review. it is still a satisfaction-guaranteed read-aloud with the bonus of mesmerizing primary-color illustrations.

An explanation of how the United States became a debtor nation. The text describes the changes in global capital requirements, the drop in US savings rate, and the policy measures that could be taken to raise it.

In order to obtain many of the classical results in the theory of statistical estimation, it is usual to impose regularity conditions on the distributions under consideration. In small sample and large sample theories of estimation there are well established sets of regularity conditions, and it is worth while to examine what may follow if any one of these regularity conditions fail to hold. "Non-regular estimation" literally means the theory ...

An important new perspective on AFFINE AND PROJECTIVE GEOMETRY This innovative book treats math majors and math education students to a fresh look at affine and projective geometry from algebraic, synthetic, and lattice theoretic points of view. Affine and Projective Geometry comes complete with ninety illustrations, and numerous examples and exercises, covering material for two semesters of upper-level undergraduate mathematics. The first par...

Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich mit neuen Aspekten der Interaktion in der technisch-wissenschaftlichen Datenvisualisierung und in Echtzeitsystemen zur Visualisierung virtueller Umgebungen. Ziel des Buches ist es, neue Interaktionstechniken für die Visualisierung bereitzustellen und Methoden zu entwerfen, die Interaktion mit der Datensemantik ermöglichen, wobei datenflußorientierte Systemarchitekturen besonders berücksichtigt werden. Weit...

This work reexamines the British invasion of Egypt in 1882. Gladstone systematically created a rationale for intervention against Arabi and the national movement in Egypt toward independence, provoked the Alexandria Riots but blamed Arabi for them, and used them to justify Wolseley's expedition, already planned, to save Egypt. These actions annihilated Egypt's constitutional movement and produced a prolonged racist occupation, divided the Libe...
