Covering an important material class for modern applications in the aerospace, automotive, energy production and creation sectors, this handbook and reference contains comprehensive data tables and fi
Due to problems associated with the design and manufacturing of composite materials, there is a need to introduce computational and intelligent systems engineering methodology in materials engineering
All design is situated -- carried out from an embedded position. Design involves manyparticipants and encompasses a range of interactions and interdependencies among designers, designs,design methods,
Psychological research into human intelligence and abilities presents us with a number of difficult questions:Are human abilities explained by a single core intelligence or by multiple intelligences?H
Intelligence and Abilities explores how and why humans differ in how well they can solve problems. The book considers how research from the past 100 years bears on several key debates about human abil
This first introductory-level textbook on the design of small molecules is written with the first-time user in mind. Aimed at students and scientists alike, it uses computer-based methods to design an
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising li
A look at the methods and algorithms used to predict protein structureA thorough knowledge of the function and structure of proteins is critical for the advancement of biology and the life sciences as
In this present volume, different approaches are detailed to produce membrane proteins, purify them, study their function, determine their structure, and model them in membrane. Since every membrane p
The existence of genes for RNA molecules not coding for proteins (ncRNAs) has been recognized since the 1950's, but until recently, aside from the critically important ribosomal and transfer RNA genes
While structure-function relationships of proteins have been studied for a long time, structural studies of RNA face additional challenges. Nevertheless, with the continuous discovery of novel RNA mol
In many cases, explains Dobrowolski (microwave circuits and instrumentation, Warsaw U. of Technology), such matters as voltage, current, impedance, and admittance of a microwave or radio frequency net
