Le livre est accompagné d'un site web en accès libre qui apporte des éléments dont on peut tirer parti comme appoint efficace au livre papier. MCSE et son environnement sont le résultat d'une méthode utilisée, expérimentée, améliorée depuis 30 ans, tout d'abord à l'Université de Grenoble, puis ensui...
You have decided to jump into astronomical spectroscopy, or you are thinking about it. If you wish to understand how to start, to go deeper, or simply increase your knowledge and improve your results, then this book is made for you! Amateur interest in Astronomical spectroscopy is on the rise. More...
This book is devoted to the modelling of data approximation and some of its numerical simulations and applications to different fields. The modelling is presented, along with theoretical results (existence and uniqueness, convergence), discretization (using the finite element method) and many applic...
This book provides answers to everyday questions that any curious mind would ask, like: Why is water blue ? What makes ice so slippery? How do we localize sound ? How do we keep our body temperature so nice and constant? How do we survive the sauna at 90 oC ? Why do large raindrops fall faster than ...
What is the connection between planet Mars and Iron Man, nickel and the Seven Dwarves, or DNA, walnuts and Jupiter, fuchsine, the fox and Zorro, or even ammoniac and the god Amun? This book tells the stories behind the naming of the elements, whether they are chemical elements of the Periodic Tab...

The specificity of this book is an intensive use of group action ideas and terminology when discussing physical and mathematical models of lattices. Another important aspect is the discussion and comparison of various approaches to the characterization of lattices. Along with symmetry and topology ...
Les vitrocéramiques sont des matériaux de plus en plus utilisés. Ce livre apporte une vision complète théorique et expérimentale de la cristallisation dans les verres et les vitrocéramiques. Il fait le point sur les développements récents dans les mécanismes de nucléation, de croissance cristalline ...
Organizers of the 11th IRPA International Congress have wished to take advantage of this occasion to launch a new series of books dedicaded to review the current important problems of concern in radioprotection assembling within this book contributions from the worldwide and most famous specialists ...
Materials are at the core of our societies and of our economies. They are part of pressing environmental challenges but they also provide powerful answers. It is therefore no longer possible to think of materials from the restricted standpoint of Materials and Engineering Sciences and this book prop...
The diverse forms that stars assume in the course of their lives can all be derives from the initial conditions : the mass and the original chemical composition. In this textbook the basic concepts of stellar structure and the main roads of stellar evolution are described. first, the observable p...
The present book is the result of diverse courses on diffusion. It is intended to give as complete an overview as possible of diffusion in solid media, while relating the process of diffusion to both its physical basis and its applications. Several real situations are covered in this account, from s...
IPSN compiles and reviews the available information on artificial radioactivity in seas and oceans. The data collected in this book give an assessment of radionuclide distributions which will be useful to address scientific and wider public concerns about radionuclides found in the aquatic environme...
For more than a half-century, Mats Hillert has contributed greatly to the Science of Materials. He is widely known and respected as an innovator and an educator, a scientist with an enormous breadth of interest and depth of insight. The difficult choice of twenty-four papers from a publication list...
This book gives a progress report on the many and original contributions of radiation chemistry to the fundamental knowledge of the vast domain of chemical reactions and its applications. Radiation chemistry techniques indeed make it possible to elucidate detailed physicochemical mechanisms in inorg...
The description of ocean water masses is based on the study of their temperature, salinity, and density, virtual genetic imprints which provide identity and movement to water masses. Ocean characteristics and processes involved in exchanges with the atmosphere together with simple dynamic balances g...
