Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Newtonian Equations of Motion for a Bloch Electron by Shigeji Fujita
English | PDF | 2007 | 249 Pages | ISBN : 038774102X | 3.9 MB
In a complex field, this work is a first. The authors make an important connection between the conduction electrons and the Fermi surface in an elementary manner in the text. No currently available text explains this connection. They do this by deriving Newtonian equations of motion for the Bloch electron and diagonalizing the inverse mass (symmetric) tensor. The authors plan to follow up this book with a second, more advanced book on superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect.

Quantum Probability and Spectral Analysis of Graphs by Akihito Hora
English | PDF | 2007 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 3540488626 | 4 MB
This is the first book to comprehensively cover quantum probabilistic approaches to spectral analysis of graphs, an approach developed by the authors. The book functions as a concise introduction to quantum probability from an algebraic aspect. Here readers will learn several powerful methods and techniques of wide applicability, recently developed under the name of quantum probability. The exercises at the end of each chapter help to deepen understanding.

Qualitative Research Methods for Media Studies 2nd Edition
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1138219223 | 255 Pages | PDF | 1 MB
Qualitative Research Methods for Media Studies provides students and researchers with the tools they need to perform critically engaged, theoretically informed research using methods that include interviewing, focus groups, historical research, oral histories, ethnography and participant observation, textual analysis and online research. Each chapter features step-by-step instructions that integrate theory with practice, as well as a case study drawn from published research demonstrating best practices for media scholars. Readers will also find in-depth discussions of the challenges and ethical issues that may confront researchers using a qualitative approach. Qualitative research does not offer easy answers, simple truths or precise measurements, but this book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide for those hoping to explore this rich vein of research methodology.

Posttranslational Protein Modifications in the Reproductive System by Peter Sutovsky
English | EPUB | 2014 | 249 Pages | ISBN : 1493908162 | 2.7 MB
This book`s aim is to increase the awareness of a great variety of posttranslational modifications in the male and female reproductive system. Some of the most intriguing reproductive strategies, mechanisms, and pathways involving PTM are discussed, with an added angle of evolutionary conservation and diversity. The book also chapters on sperm-egg binding, as well as on histone modification in both the embryo and sperm. Chapters are also devoted to protein ubiquitination, the regulation of sperm function during fertilization in mammals and tubulin modifications in gametes and embryos.

Positive Integration - EU and WTO Approaches Towards the "Trade and" Debate by Rike Krämer-Hoppe
English | PDF | 2019 | 147 Pages | ISBN : 3030256618 | 3.5 MB
This book presents a new framework for the 'trade and environment' debate and discusses the ways in which the EU and the WTO address this topic: positive, negative and non-integration. It analyses areas like food safety and renewable energy from the perspectives of legal and political science, and economics, and includes contributions focusing on various approaches, such as harmonisation, regulatory cooperation and judicialisation. In the 21st century, especially in our current times, where free trade and economic integration are increasingly being called into question, it is even more vital to find convincing normative answers and ways to address the very complex relationship between trade and environmental policies. Debunking some of the myths concerning positive and negative integration and the relationship between the two, this book is a valuable contribution to the debate on globalisation.

Perspectives on the Introductory Phase of Empirical Research Articles: A Study of Rhetorical Structure and Citation Use by (Kathy) Ling Lin
English | PDF | 2019 | 301 Pages | ISBN : 9813292032 | 5.4 MB
Combining English for Specific Purposes (ESP) genre-based analysis, corpus-based language studies, and semi-structured interviews, this book represents the first multi-faceted project on the macro-structure of empirical research articles (ERAs) from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and on the "I+LR" patterned introductory phase (comprising two introductory sections, i.e., the Introduction and the Literature Review in RAs drawn from civil engineering and applied linguistics journals) regarding their rhetorical organization, use of citation, and structural and functional links and variations.

Parallel and High Performance Computing
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1617296465 | 1091 Pages | EPUB | 16 MB
Complex calculations, like training deep learning models or running large-scale simulations, can take an extremely long time. Efficient parallel programming can save hours-or even days-of computing time. Parallel and High Performance Computing shows you how to deliver faster run-times, greater scalability, and increased energy efficiency to your programs by mastering parallel techniques for multicore processor and GPU hardware.

Optimization of Power System Problems: Methods, Algorithms and MATLAB Codes by Mahmoud Pesaran Hajiabbas
English | PDF | 2020 | 386 Pages | ISBN : 303034049X | 15.7 MB
This book presents integrated optimization methods and algorithms for power system problems along with their codes in MATLAB. Providing a reliable and secure power and energy system is one of the main challenges of the new era. Due to the nonlinear multi-objective nature of these problems, the traditional methods are not suitable approaches for solving large-scale power system operation dilemmas. The integration of optimization algorithms into power systems has been discussed in several textbooks, but this is the first to include the integration methods and the developed codes.
