Tailored to the requirements of first or second year geology undergraduates, this revised and updated edition includes some discussion of morphology and classification. The more complex aspects of deformation are dealt with after stress and strain have been discussed. Part of the book is devoted to the wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate tectonics. The final two chapters give examples of various types of geological structures in their plate tectonic settings in ancient orogenic belts.

Foundations of Structional Geology

Park, R.G.

This book, which is based on material developed for a series of mathematical workshops, is aimed at first and second year students. It presents the mathematical tools they will need to use as well as a wide range of examples of electronic applications in which these tools are commonly used. Examples of the modelling, simulation and interpretation of practical electrical and electronic systems are provided using a wide range of basic mathematical techniques. There is a also a toolkit which is intended to provide a reference guide to the basic set of mathematical information needed by any electronic engineer.

Basic Mathematics for Electrical Engineers: Models and Applications (Tutorial Guides in Electronic Engineering)

Szymanski, J.E.

Casting of metals evolved first as witchcraft, gradually became an art, then technology, and became only recently a science. Many of the processes used in a metal casting are still empirical in nature, but many others are deeply rooted in mathematics. In whatever form, casting of metals is an activity fundamental in the very existence of our world, as we know it today. Foundry reports indicate that solidification modeling is not only a cost-effective investment but also a major technical asset. It helps foundries move into markets with more complex and technically demanding work. However, to the best of the author's knowledge, there have been no attempts to synthesize the information that can be used for engineering calculations pertinent to computational modeling of casting solidification. This book is based on the author's thirty years of experience with teaching, research and the industrial practice of solidification science as applied to casting processes. It is an attempt to describe solidification theory through the complex mathematical apparatus that includes partial differential equations and numerical analysis, which are required for a fundamental treatment of the problem. The mathematics, however, is restricted to the element essential to attain a working knowledge of the field. This is in line with the main goal of the book, which is to educate the reader in the fast moving area of computational modeling of solidification of casting. For the sake of completeness, a special effort has been made to introduce the reader to the latest developments in solidification theory, even if the reader has no engineering applications at this time. The text is designed to be self-contained. The author's teaching experience demonstrates that some of the students interested in solidification science are not fully proficient in partial differential equations (PDE) and/or numerical analysis. Accordingly, elements of PDE and numerical analysis, required to obtain a working knowledge of computational solidification modeling, have been introduced in the text while attempting to avoid the interruption of the fluency of the subject. Numerous modeling and calculation examples using the Excel spreadsheet as an engineering tool are provided. The book is addressed to graduate students and seniors in solidification science, as well as to industrial researchers who work in the field of solidification in general and casting modeling in particular.

Reference

Almost two decades have passed since the publication of the first edition of this acclaimed text. The new third edition carries on the tradition of the previous two in offering a practical, state of the art presentation of the interview process. The critical first step to diagnosis and treatment, the interview is as much art as science, and this text provides a wealth of material to enhance clinical skill as well as empirically-derived foundations. The structure of the text has been retained, with chapters by noted experts detailing current innovations in theory and practice, including recent changes to the DSM-IV. Completely revised and updated, accessible, and illustrated with relevant case material, the third edition of Diagnostic Interviewing will be a welcome text for instructors and students, as well as a valuable resource for clinicians.

This book examines techniques that will enable robots to be more intelligent in the future and considers the main problems and potential barriers to progress. It introduces students of engineering, computer and cognitive science to the broad spectrum of issues and ideas concerning intelligent systems and shows how such concepts might be implemented in future robot systems. Intelligent Robotics encourages an engineering approach, relating intelligent systems to industrial applications. Throughout the book, the emphasis is always on the practical use of artificial intelligence techniques within manufacturing and production industries. This book should be of interest to second and third year students of engineering, computer and cognitive science.
