Forum for analysis of the occurrence, impact, and significance of extreme events on natural and human systems.

"The text is easy to read because the matter is clearly explained. Symmetries are a central component of physical laws, and the PT-symmetry proves to be very interesting and fruitful. The discussion ...

The lecture notes in this book are based on the TCC (Taught Course Centre for graduates) course given by the author in Trinity Terms of 2009–2011 at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University. It ...

This is an introduction to the basic tools of mathematics needed to understand the relation between knot theory and quantum gravity. The book begins with a rapid course on manifolds and differential ...

"Overall, the work is written at a level suitable for any individual with a reasonable familiarity of device physics and materials science. It will be useful to advanced undergraduate students who ...

This unique book describes quantum field theory completely within the context of path integrals. With its utility in a variety of fields in physics, the subject matter is primarily developed within ...

We introduce the theory of chemical reaction networks and their relation to stochastic Petri nets — important ways of modeling population biology and many other fields. We explain how techniques from ...

This is the 2nd edition of the original “Nanostructures and Nanomaterials” written by Guozhong Cao and published by Imperial College Press in 2004. This important book focuses not only on the ...

Neutron scattering has become a key technique for investigating the properties of materials on an atomic scale. The uniqueness of this method is based on the fact that the wavelength and energy of ...

This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures, exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine pipelines, describi ...

In this section we present briefly the necessary facts concerning the completely integrable models of quantum field theory with massive spectra. We parametrize the massive particles by their ...

This book provides an introduction to matrix theory and aims to provide a clear and concise exposition of the basic ideas, results and techniques in the subject. Complete proofs are given, and no ...
