Fundamentals of Scientific Computing (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering)

Bertil Gustafsson, "Fundamentals of Scientific Computing (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering)"
Publisher: S*/*/*/ger | 2011 | ISBN: 364219494X | PDF | 335 pages | 3.8 MB

How is it possible to predict weather patterns for tomorrow, with access solely to today’s weather data? And how is it possible to predict the aerodynamic behavior of an aircraft that has yet to be built?
The answer is computer simulations based on mathematical models – sets of equations – that describe the underlying physical properties. However, these equations are usually much too complicated to solve, either by the smartest mathematician or the largest supercomputer. This problem is overcome by constructing an approximation: a numerical model with a simpler structure can be translated into a program that tells the computer how to carry out the simulation.
This book conveys the fundamentals of mathematical models, numerical methods and algorithms. Opening with a tutorial on mathematical models and analysis, it proceeds to introduce the most important classes of numerical methods, with finite element, finite difference and spectral methods as central tools. The concluding section describes applications in physics and engineering, including wave propagation, heat conduction and fluid dynamics. Also covered are the principles of computers and programming, including MATLAB®.

Richard S. Varga, "Matrix Iterative Analysis"

This book is a revised version of the first edition, originally published by Prentice Hall in 1962 and regarded as a classic in its field. In some places, newer research results, e.g. results on weak regular splittings, have been incorported in the revision, and in other places, new material has been added in the chapters, as well as at the end of chapters, in the form of additional up-to-date references and some recent theorems to give the reader some newer directions to pursue. The material in the new chapters is basically self-contained and more exercises have been provided for the readers. While the original version was more linear algebra oriented, the revision attempts to emphasize tools from other areas, such as approximation theory and conformal mapping theory, to access newer results of interest. The book should be of great interest to researchers and graduate students in the field of numerical analysis.

Vladimir Rubtsov, "The Tunguska Mystery"

The purpose of the book is a dual one: to detail the nature and results of Tunguska investigations in the former USSR and present-day CIS, and to destroy two long-standing myths still held in the West. The first concerns alleged “final solutions” that have ostensibly been found in Russia or elsewhere. The second concerns the mistaken belief that there has been little or no progress in understanding the nature of the Tunguska phenomenon. All this is treated by the author in a scholarly and responsible manner. Although the book does present certain unusual findings of Russian and Ukrainian scholars, it is important to stress that this is not a sensational book; it is, rather, a serious exposition of the results of rational investigations into a difficult scientific problem. We are demonstrating the true complexity of the problem that is now entering its second century of existence. Simple meteoritic models cannot explain all the characteristics of this complicated event, and therefore certain so-called “unconventional hypotheses” about the nature of the Tunguska explosion are to be considered as well.

A University Grammar of English

Randolph Quirk, "A University Grammar of English"
L.ngman P.blishing Gr.up | 1973 | ISBN: 0582552079 | 484 pages | PDF | 54,5 MB

University Grammar of English is a shorter version of A Grammar of Contemporary English on which the authors worked in collaboration with Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik.
The structure of the parent book has been preserved so that reference can easily be made to it, though in many respects the authors have incorporated revisions, improvements, and expansions. The present treatment has been adapted to the needs of students who require maximum comprehensive-ness with maximum economy of presentation. The authors carefully indicate constructions which distinguish spoken from written, formal from informal, or British from American usage.

Happiness and Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being

Happiness and Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being by Bruno S. Frey, Alois Stutzer
Princeton University Press | 2001 | ISBN: 0691069972 | English | 200 pages | PDF | 1.45 MB

Still convinced money doesn't buy happiness? In Happiness & Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being, economists Bruno S. Frey (Inspiring Economics) and Alois Stutzer demonstrate how unemployment and inflation lead to unhappiness and argue that increased happiness comes with increased wealth. While this is no surprise, their next declaration may be. Far more important than wealth to well-being, they say, is democracy. Drawing on research conducted in Switzerland's single-economy, multi-state nation (where levels of democracy vary between cantons) the authors show how participation in governmental procedures and a sense of local autonomy empowers and satisfies people more than a full wallet. -- Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

Climate Change and Rice

Any change in the world's climate is a potential threat to global food security. Climate change such as increase in CO2, temperature and ultraviolet-B radiation will influence the production of rice, the world's most important food crop. As a source of atmospheric methane and nitrous oxide, rice cultivation may contribute to climate change.
The contributions of this volume cover aspects of global climate change, its effect rice ecosystems, and on agriculture.

Combinatorial Peptide Library Protocols

A valuable collection of new and unique techniques for the construction and use of peptide libraries. These powerful methods include protocols for the chemical synthesis of peptide libraries, for constructing peptide libraries that are displayed on the surface of filamentous phage or bacteria, and for the rapid screening of these libraries for molecules with biospecific properties. Additional methods permit identifying specific enzyme substrates, investigating the recognition spectra of various binding proteins, epitope mapping, and identifying mimotopes. State-of-the-art techniques, combined with clear step-by-step instructions, make this book an essential tool in the selection of peptides suitable for drug development.
