Rozzi and Farina (electromagnetics, U. of Ancona, Italy) address the challenges involved in combining the fields of electromagnetics and complex circuit modeling that have arisen with the emergence of

Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy (BSE) reveals the minerals, textures, and fabrics of sediments and rocks in much greater detail than is possible with conventional optical microscopy. Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy provides a concise summary of the BSE technique. This comprehensive guide uses abundant images to illustrate the type of information BSE yields and the application of the technique to the study of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The authors review the use of this petrographic technique on all the major sedimentary rock types, including sediment grains, sandstones, shales, carbonate rocks, rock varnish, and glauconite. They also describe image analysis techniques that allow quantification of backscattered scanning electron microscope images and illustrate the potential applications of these methods. Heavily illustrated and lucidly written, this book will provide researchers and graduate students with the most current research on this important geologica

This 1998 book conveys the essence of object-oriented programming and software building through the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Composed of updated versions of James Odell's articles from The Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, ROAD, and Object Magazine, it provides concise but in-depth pieces on structural issues, dynamic issues, business rules, object complexity, object aggregation, design templates, and the process of objects.

Once upon a time students of mathematics and students of science or engineering took the same courses in mathematical analysis beyond calculus. Now it is common to separate" advanced mathematics for s

Macroeconomics offers a modern and comprehensive introduction to the tools and methods that define contemporary graduate training in the field. Written for first-year PhD students and advanced MA/MS students, the book provides a rigorous yet accessible foundation in dynamic optimization, recursive methods, competitive equilibrium, stochastic modelling, and welfare analysis. It emphasizes clarity and intuition, guiding readers through the logic of intertemporal decision-making that underlies modern macro theory. A key feature of the text is its explicit connection to data. Throughout the book, theory is used to interpret empirical patterns, illustrating how macroeconomic models help us understand real-world behavior and policy-relevant facts. Quantitative and computational tools are integrated throughout to show how models are taken to the data. The book develops frameworks with heterogeneity and frictions, including incomplete markets, borrowing constraints, labor-market search frictio
