Book Description

The papers in this volume cover a wide range of subjects covering the most recent developments in Celestial Mechanics from the theoretical point of nonlinear dynamical systems to the application to real problems. We emphasize the papers on the formation of planetary systems, their stability and also the problem of habitable zones in extrasolar planetary systems. A special topic is the stability of Trojans in our planetary system, where more and more realistic dynamical models are used to explain their complex motions: besides the important contribution from the theoretical point of view, the results of several numerical experiments unraveled the structure of the stable zone around the librations points. This volume will be of interest to astronomers and mathematicians interested in Hamiltonian mechanics and in the dynamics of planetary systems.

Book Description

Dynamical systems theory is especially well-suited for determining the possible asymptotic states (at both early and late times) of cosmological models, particularly when the governing equations are a finite system of autonomous ordinary differential equations.
In this book we discuss cosmological models as dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on applications in the early Universe. We point out the important role of self-similar models. We review the asymptotic properties of spatially homogeneous perfect fluid models in general relativity. We then discuss results concerning scalar field models with an exponential potential (both with and without barotropic matter). Finally, we discuss the dynamical properties of cosmological models derived from the string effective action.
This book is a valuable source for all graduate students and professional astronomers who are interested in modern developments in cosmology.

Book Description

This authoritative volume shows how modern dynamical systems theory can help us in understanding the evolution of cosmological models. It also compares this approach with Hamiltonian methods and numerical studies. A major part of the book deals with the spatially homogeneous (Bianchi) models and their isotropic subclass, the Friedmann-Lemaitre models, but certain classes of inhomogeneous models (for example, ‘silent universes’) are also examined. The analysis leads to an understanding of how special (high symmetry) models determine the evolution of more general families of models; and how these families relate to real cosmological observations. This is the first book to relate modern dynamical systems theory to both cosmological models and cosmological observations. It provides an invaluable reference for graduate students and researchers in relativity, cosmology and dynamical systems theory.

Book Description

Recent advances in our understanding of instabilities in galactic type systems have led to an unravelling of some of the mysteries of what determines the form galaxies take. This book focuses on the mathematical development of the subject, assuming no prior knowledge of it, with a strong emphasis on the underlying physical interpretation. This framework is used to discuss the most relevant instabilities which are believed to be closely involved in the way galaxies are formed, in a model independent manner. The relevant observed properties of galaxies that may be used to establish the role of these physical mechanisms are discussed.
The book also includes a chapter discussing numerical simulation techniques, with attention paid to their limitations and to recent advances in this approach. It is demonstrated that recent developments in computer hardware enable a detailed comparison of simulations with analysis. Thus the simulations extend our physical understanding beyond the limitations of the analysis.
The book is intended for use by postgraduate students and researchers in the areas of cosmology, extragalactic astronomy and dynamics.

Book Description

Organic solids exhibit a wide range of electrical and related properties. They occur as crystals, glasses, polymers and thin films; they may be insulators, semiconductors, conductors or superconductors; and they may show luminescence, nonlinear optical response, and complex dynamical behaviour. The book provides a broad survey of this area, written by international experts, one third being drawn from Eastern Europe. Electrical, optical, spectroscopic and structural aspects are all treated in a way that gives an excellent introduction to current themes in this highly interdisciplinary and practically important area. The coverage is especially strong in the areas where electrical and optical properties overlap, such as photoconductivity, electroluminescence, electroabsorption, electro-optics and photorefraction.

Well Worth The Price!.......2000-02-16

It doesn't matter whether you are interested in the feeding habits and needs of parrots or partridges, this book has it all and in an easily comprehensible format. Plenty of tables and charts to help you understand the latest information from someone who really knows their stuff. I couldn't put it down!

Book Description

For Melody, a twenty four year old graduate of UC Berkeley, being the girlfriend of Major, an ex-college football star turned Medical student, has been the definition of her happiness. Through heartbreaks, accomplishments and everyday life, Melody's relationship has provided her with the security she always wanted. Yet a chance meeting with Mecca, a smooth talking poet from New York causes her to reminisce on her life with Major. As Mecca begins to revive feelings long since left cold by Major, Melody begins to question if she is willing to let go of the history and stability she has with her boyfriend and try something new.

Full of twists and turns..........2006-09-22

Anyone person who went to college or wants to know about the college experience and life after college should read this book, especially if you want things from an African-American point of view. As a black woman, I really felt like I could relate to the main character. I loved the end of the novel, it was full of twists and turns. I also loved how the main character and her friends were like sisters.

A Good Start.......2005-07-14

This book is pretty good to be the author's first novel, and it is self published at that. The story line is simple and easy to follow, and hints at the style of Erick Jerome Dickey. At the end there is a surprising twist that pops out of the blue, and really engages the reader to reflect on the novel as a whole in the context of the title. The middle does get a bit habitual and slightly repetitive, but the book is short enough for the reader to plow through the little lull without a problem. I think this is a solid novel that shows growth and promise in the author's future works. There's nowhere to go but up!

What's on the OUTSIDE is what matters..........2005-04-21

All I have to say is, the cover of this book is what pulled me in. The artistry is hauntingly brillant, simple yet emotionally intense. However, as I began to read this novel, I fell asleep. No depth whatsoever, so don't be fooled by the genius artistry of the cover.
