Mechanochemical transformations are the subject of increasing attention in solid state chemistry, physics and materials science as well as in development of advanced technologies. They have been discussed at a number of symposia on mechanochemistry and mechanical alloying in various countries. The International Mechanochemical Association organised the 1st International Conference on Mechanochemistry (InCoMe'93) held on March 23-26, 1993 in Kosice, Slovak Republic. More than 100 contributions from 17 countries were presented. The proceedings consist of two volumes: Vol 1 - Fundamentals and models of mechanically stimulated processes; Mechanically induced changes in the structure and properties; Vol 2 - Mechanochemical reactions and mechanical alloying; Technological aspects of ultrafine grinding and mechanical activation. The lectures included: Mechanochemical activation of solids (V V Boldyrev, Russia), Surface Mechanochemistry of Crystalline Solids (E Gutman, Israel), Mechanochemical Effects of Ultrasound (K S Suslick, USA), Mechanical Alloying in Materials Science (E Ivanov, USA), Mechanochemical Activation of Solid Particles Through Fine Grinding (I J Lin, Israe), Mechanical Activation of Solid Surfaces with Well Defined Stress Conditions (M Senna, Japan), Role of Mechanical Activation in Preparation of Catalysts (U Steinike, Germany), Nonequilibrium Phase Transformations of Intermetallic Compounds by Ball Milling (H Bakker, Holland), Correlations Between Energy Transfer and End Products in Mechanical Alloying (M Magini, Italy), Mechano-electrochemistry and Corrosion of Metals (V Gutman, Austria), Analogue Mathematical Description of Mechanical Activation (K Tkacova, Slovakia),Mechanism of Mechanochemical Synthesis in Oxide Systems (G R Karagedov, Russia), Mechanical Alloying of Iron and Boron Powders (V A Barinov, Russia), Effect of Mechanical Activation on Dissociation of Magnesite (V Jesenak, Slovakia), etc.

The English-Spanish Dictionary of Plant Biology has been written to fill a need for increased communication between English and Spanish speaking people who are working in or are being affected by the many sub-fields of plant biology. Its general purpose is to aid, stimulate, and facilitate a two-way flow of information and understanding between the peoples of North, South, and Central America in an era of economic and environmental interdependence. Included are plant-related terms from the fields of botany, ecology, genetics, taxonomy, oceanology, microbiology, physiology, cytology, marine biology, forestry, silviculture, horticulture, anatomy, organology, phytopathology, agriculture, biochemistry, paleobotany, phenology, photobotany, phycology, systematics phytology, phytogeography, phytochemistry, phytosociology, morphology, pomology, and ethnobotany.

""Writing Fast Programs"" provides the basic elements of code optimization and provides strategies for reducing bottlenecks in practical simulation and numerical modeling code. The target audience is scientists and engineers and students in these fields. One pre-publication reviewer called this a much-needed intermediate text to bridge the gap between existing introductory and more advance programming books aimed at scientists. ""Writing Fast Programs"" does not teach basic programming; some programming profiency is assumed, along with familiarity with the basic programming terminology. Code examples are presented in C, but BASIC (as a convenient pseudo-language) examples are provided for those not familiar with C. In general, the strategies presented are not language specific and should therefore benefit a wide programming audience.

Applied Engineering Mathematics

This book strives to provide a concise and yet comprehensive coverage of all major mathematical methods in engineering. Topics include advanced calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, complex variables, vector and tensor analysis, calculus of variations, integral transforms, integral equations, numerical methods, and probability and statistics. Application topics consist of linear elasticity, harmonic motions, chaos, and reaction-diffusion systems. . This book can serve as a textbook in engineering mathematics, mathematical modelling and scientific computing. This book is organised into 19 chapters. Chapters 1-14 introduce various mathematical methods, Chapters 15-18 concern the numeri-cal methods, and Chapter 19 introduces the probability and statistics.

Most of the existing books in this field discuss the hydraulic and pneumatic systems in concentrating on the design and components of the system without going deep enough into the problem of dynamic modelling and control of these systems. This book attempts to compromise between theoretical modelling and practical understanding of fluid power systems by using modern control theory based on implementing Newton's second law in second order differential equations transformed into direct relationships between inputs and outputs via transfer functions or state space approach.

This book provides an alternative (better) way to understand the future of acoustics, especially in the dialectic context of sound and silence-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other). In other words, this book offers a new theory (that is, the multilateral theory of acoustics) to go beyond the existing approaches in the literature on acoustics in an original way.

The Future of Post-Human Acoustics: A Preface to a New Theory of Sound and Silence

Baofu, Peter PH.D

Taking into account the current experimental and technological accomplishments and theoretical methods, this book stresses the basic laws of science, i.e. Archimedes principle, Newton's laws, and critically analyses these laws. Generalization of the laws and principle are inevitable. Newton did not discover the Second Law of Motion, F = ma. This is is clear from the critical study of the Principia. In the existing literature there is no quantitative theory which may explain the phenomena of rising, falling and floating bodies quantitatively. Such a theory is described in the book for first time.

The book describes the scientific and applied aspects of using plasma heat sources (plasmatrons) in metallurgical and casting production. The main types of plasmatrons, used for melting of metals and treatment of metallic melts in laboratory and industrial conditions are described. The industrial application of plasma heat sources is discussed and the development of new metallurgical processes and technologies is outlined.

The book describes the current state of knowledge of the martensitic transformations. The following problems are investigated: the classification of martensitic transformations, the kinetic and structural special features of thermoelastic and non-thermoelastic transformations, crystallography of these transformations, the structure mobility of interphase boundaries during martensitic transformation, thermodynamics and kinetics of martensitic transformation, the effect of external factors on the development of the transformation;
