John Rosemond's latest work covers every conceivable aspect of parenting from Allowances to Sibling rivalry with the same characteristic wit and practical wisdom that millions of parents have cherished in his six previous books, including Making the "Terrible" Twos Terrific, John Rosemond's Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children and A Family of Value. This day-to-day collection contains 366 tips or "reflections" for battle-worn par...
This book reports the recent results obtained by Italian researchers in fuzzy logic. It collects some selected papers presented at the 1995 Italian Workshop on Fuzzy Logic (WILF '95), and some invited contributions. The book covers some of the most interesting topics in fuzzy logic: theory, evolutionary computing, and gives an overview of applications in control, image processing, pattern recognition, decisions support systems, and high energy...
After about three decades of experimental and theoretical efforts, the structure of the nucleon (proton and neutron) is now fairly well understood based on quantum chromodynamics, but only if averaged over its spin. As the recent "proton spin crisis" revealed, we do not understand much about the nucleon structure when its spin is polarized to a specific orientation. We expect that our understanding on this challenging problem will soon be sign...
The above workshop and symposium continue a series of biennial meetings initiated by Karl Strnat and intended for researchers working in the field of rare-earth transition metal magnets and their applications -- an area of rapid growth. The workshop will concentrate on the processing, characterization and applications of rare earth magnets. The symposium will concentrate on the more fundamental aspects of the solid state physics and materials ...
The following are the topics covered: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions, Hadronic Interaction and Particle Production Processes, Transport Theory for Hadrons and Quark-Gluon Plasma, Hadronization Process, Disordered Chiral Condensate, Strangeness Production, Lepton Pair Production, Particle Interferometry, Electromagnetic Signals of QGP, Structure of Hadrons, Nuclear Astrophysics and Solar Neutrino Problem.
Nonstationarity is another name for intermittency, a phenomenon which affects many physical processes. Data collected in many R&D, programs frequently exhibit nonstationary features, and problems inherent in the analysis of such data are profound. The premier objective of these proceedings is to consolidate recent developments in nonstationary analysis. A second objective is to delineate open problems. A by-product will hopefully be a bridging...
Collider experiments have become essential to studying elementary particles. In particular, lepton collisions such as e⁺e⁻ are ideal from both experimental and theoretical points of view, and are a unique means of probing the new energy region, sub-TeV to TeV. It is a common understanding that a next-generation e⁺e⁻ collider will have to be a linear machine that evades beam-energy losses due to synchrotron radiation. In this book, physics feas...
Since the early developments of 'nonlinear science', plasma physics played a major role in its evolution: solitons, hamiltonian chaos, distinction between absolute and convective instabilities, and dynamics of coherent structures in turbulence. Understanding transport in plasmas is important for fusion devices but also for fundamental astrophysics, for fluid mechanics, for theoretical chemistry and engineering, and plasma processing in enginee...
The aim of this volume is to provide an overview on the state-of-art in optical spectroscopy covering the focal theoretical and experimental aspects of the last research developments on semiconductor field. Some key topics in semiconductor science, namely: optical spectroscopy as a tool for in situ epitaxial growth monitoring and non-destructive surface and interface characterizations in mesocopic superstructures are addressed in the book. A n...
This conference provided a forum for active researchers to discuss the state-of-the-art in theoretical and computational acoustics. Topics covered fluid/elastic interface-theoretical and computational aspects with applications, seismic waves and earthquake studies, modeling, theoretical and computational aspects for multidimensional wave propagation, methods for computational acoustics, structural acoustics, scattering and inverse problems, so...
The 1st EWME is an International Tribune where: The Education in Microelectronics in 15 universities from 10 different countries are presented. The International Cooperation using the available multimedia is discussed. Pedagogical problems concerning the teaching of 'classical' microelectronics (technology, devices and CAD) as well as those concerning the sensors, microsystems and advanced materials are examined. Besides more general pedagogic...
