Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Secrets of the Moon: Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface provides a unique account of the origin of key features on the lunar surface. Containing historical accounts and the latest observations from the field in addition to exciting data from the Apollo manned missions it describes the development of our current understanding of our Moon. It also explores the fracturing of the Moon a topic not explored in other literature in the area and contains a statistical treatment of the smaller craters of the Moon as well as a geological treatment of the larger craters. This moderately technical account is designed to clarify and update the general thinking on the nature and origin of the most important lunar surface features for both undergraduate and research students. It may also be read by the professional scientist especially the astronomer and the geologist who has found little time to study the Moon’s topography in addition to the lunar amateur astronomer and even the dedicated layman with a keen interest in lunar science. The book excludes nearly all mathematical symbols in order to remain accessible to those without a formal education in the area. Key Features: Authored by an expert in the area Presents a comprehensive account of the lunar surface from historical observations to the NASA Apollo manned missions and the latest observations and data in the field Includes a statistical and geological treatment of the craters Dr. Gilbert Fielder is Reader Emeritus at Lancaster University United Kingdom. He performed extended teaching at Lancaster University on Planetary Science and introduced a new degree course on Remote Sensing. Prior to this he was Principal Investigator in NASA’s Heat Capacity Mapping Programme while continuing to head the Lunar and Planetary Unit at Lancaster until retirement. Dr. Fielder has authored several books and presented many BBC and ITA television news programmes as well as popular programmes with Sir Patrick Moore (on the BBC’s The Sky at Night) and on the occasion of the first landing of astronauts on the Moon with David Frost as Chairman in a special programme. | Secrets of the Moon Understanding and Analysing the Lunar Surface

Problem Solving for Engineers

Problem Solving for Engineers

Whatever their discipline engineers are routinely called upon to develop solutions to all kinds of problems. To do so effectively they need a systematic and disciplined approach that considers a range of alternatives taking into account all relevant factors before selecting the best solution. In Problem Solving for Engineers David Carmichael demonstrates just such an approach involving problem definition generation of alternative solutions and ultimately the analysis and selection of a preferred solution. David Carmichael introduces the fundamental concepts needed to think systematically and undertake methodical problem solving. He argues that the most rational way to develop a framework for problem solving is by using a systems studies viewpoint. He then outlines systems methodology modeling and the various configurations for analysis synthesis and investigation. Building on this the book details a systematic process for problem solving and demonstrates how problem solving and decision making lie within a systems synthesis configuration. Carefully designed as a self-learning resource the book contains exercises throughout that reinforce the material and encourage readers to think and apply the concepts. It covers decision making in the presence of uncertainty and multiple criteria including that involving sustainability with its blend of economic social and environmental considerations. It also characterizes and tackles the specific problem solving of management planning and design. The book provides for the first time a rational framework for problem solving with an engineering orientation.

An Introduction to Fish Migration

An Introduction to Fish Migration

Since the publication of The Migrations of Fish by Prof. Alexander Meek in 1916 a number of books have been published on this subject. However most of these books only cover one type of migratory mechanisms. This book aims to overcome this drawback by presenting a comprehensive coverage of all life history strategies—potadromy anadromy catadromy amphidromy and oceanodromy in one book. The first section of this book reviews the history of fish migration studies the main definitions and concepts related with fish migration and the main trends and challenges of fish migration research. The second section describes the main processes and patterns associated with all migratory life history strategies as well as the main problems associated with their conservation. Finally the third section provides examples of the main methodologies used to study fish migration. This book was conceived with the objective to provide undergraduate and graduate students and researchers with a comprehensive book on which they could rely. | An Introduction to Fish Migration

A Practical Guide to Scientific Writing in Chemistry Scientific Papers Research Grants and Book Proposals

A Practical Guide to Scientific Writing in Chemistry Scientific Papers Research Grants and Book Proposals

Successful completion of postgraduate studies especially PhD and career advancement in academia strongly depend on the ability to publish scientific papers or books and attract research grants. However many chemical scientists find preparing scientific papers and research grant and book proposals difficult; partly because of insufficient training in writing and partly because there are few practical books to enable them to learn the art. This step-by-step practical guide is intended mainly for postgraduate students and early career researchers in chemical science and the libraries that serve them but will also be useful to other scientists. Key Features: Improves the reader’s chances of getting their manuscript published in chemistry journals. Increases the likelihood of winning research grants in chemistry. Takes a “lead by the hand” approach. Contains chapters on the preparation of graphical abstracts and research highlights. Uses sketches and other illustration styles to aid mental visualization of concepts.

Unifying Themes In Complex Systems Volume 2 Proceedings Of The Second International Conference On Complex Systems

The International Conference on Complex Systems provides a unique opportunity for scientists to rise above the disciplinary boundaries and explore unity in complex systems. This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Complex Systems. The sessions ranged from the opening talk by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson on emergence and the relevance of complex systems to physics to the final panel that included many of the great management gurus of this generation. The plenary session topics for the second conference were emergence description and modeling self-organization networks time series agents in action and complexity and management. Talks in these sessions often focused on contributions in specific disciplines but each session contained a diverse set of disciplines to show the strategies and concepts that can be applied generally to complex systems. Overall the conference presentations dealt with issues of significant public interest including individual psychology dynamics of social and economic change the human genome and ecology. The New England Complex Systems Institute is an independent educational and research institution dedicated to advancing the study of complex systems including new concepts and methodologies that are affecting all fields of science and engineering and are being applied to technology business and even social policy. NECSI organizes conferences workshops short courses and other activities from which books will be produced for the NECSI Series on Complexity.
