Book Description
When clearing out his mothers fl at Stephen discovers a tin of old photographs under her bed. Each image evokes a memory of childhood and we get to meet the people who inhabit those memories wayward friends and sensible friends, strict teachers and hopeless teachers, ugly girls and gorgeous girls, Aunts who are not Aunts and Uncles who are not Uncles and a grandfather who revels in the art of mischief. In this funny and sometimes moving novella Stephen Mitchell wonders whether our memories can really be relied upon to provide an accurate reconstruction of our childhood years and especially those of an ordinary child growing up in the North of England in the 1960s.

Molecular Liquids
Author: A.J. Barnes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400964633
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
This ASI was planned to make a major contribution to the teaching of the principles and methods used in liquid phase ~esearch and to encourage the setting up of collaborative projects, as advocated by the European Molecular Liquids Group (secretary: Dr J. Yarwood, University of Durham, U. K. ). During the past five years considerable progress has been made in studying molecular liquids. The undoubted advantages of international collaboration led to the formation of the European Molecular Liquids Group (EMLG) in July 1981. The activities of the EMLG were widely disseminated in a special session of the European Congress on Molecular Spectroscopy (EUCMOS) held in September 1981 (for details, see J. Mol. Structure, 80 (1982) 375 - 421). Following the success of this meeting, it was thought that the aims and objectives of the E~G would be best served by the organisation of a broader-based gathering designed to attract those interested in the study of the structure, dynamics and interactions in the liquid state. Thanks to the generous support by the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, it was possible to hold a NATO ASI on Molecular Liquids at the Italian Centre of Stanford University, Florence, Italy during June-July 1983. This book is based on the lectures presented at that meeting. The contents of this volume cover the three broad areas of current liquid phase research: (a) Analytical theory.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE : ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PRACTICE OF MEMBERS
Author: KARUNA MOY GHOSH
Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 8120348435
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This book addresses an overall approach presenting comprehensive principles and description of the analysis and design of prestressed concrete members, from its initial design concepts, analysis, to the construction stage. The structural components are analyzed and designed to conform to the requirements of Eurocodes, [that are similar to Indian Standard Codes] followed throughout the world. In order to elaborate on the concept of prestressed concrete, seven different cases are dealt with in this book to add an analytical approach to the subject. The concepts explained are well-supported with the mathematical derivations and problem formulations. Illustrative figures and tables further help in making understanding of the concepts easier. The book serves as a reference for the undergraduate students of civil and structural engineering.

Symmetry and Condensed Matter Physics
Author: M. El-Batanouny
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139469517
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 3
Book Description
Unlike existing texts, this book blends for the first time three topics in physics - symmetry, condensed matter physics and computational methods - into one pedagogical textbook. It includes new concepts in mathematical crystallography; experimental methods capitalizing on symmetry aspects; non-conventional applications such as Fourier crystallography, color groups, quasicrystals and incommensurate systems; as well as concepts and techniques behind the Landau theory of phase transitions. Adopting a computational approach to the application of group theoretical techniques to solving symmetry related problems, it dramatically alleviates the need for intensive calculations usually found in the presentation of symmetry. Writing computer programs helps the student achieve a firm understanding of the underlying concepts, and sample programs, based on Mathematica, are presented throughout the book. Containing over 150 exercises, this textbook is ideal for graduate students in condensed matter physics, materials science, and chemistry. Solutions and computer programs are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521828451.

Book Description
The first such book devoted exclusively to the MQED theory of long-range intermolecular forces, this resource gives the first presentation of the second quantized Maxwell field formulation of the theory. The coverage includes recently developed non-perturbative approaches for treating a variety of intermolecular interactions. It also provides a comprehensive treatment of discriminatory forces and their subsequent modification by a radiation field. This provides an essential resource for theoretical and physical chemists; atomic, molecular, and optical physicists; as well as biophysicists, materials scientists, and nanochemists.
