This book presents a broad and well-structured overview of various
non-Fourier heat conduction models. The classical Fourier heat
conduction model is valid for most macroscopic problems. However,
it fails when the wave nature of the heat propagation becomes
dominant and memory or non-local spatial effects become
significant; e.g., during ultrafast heating, heat transfer at the
nanoscale, in granular and porous materials, at extremely high
values of the heat flux, or in heat transfer in biological tissues.
The book looks at numerous non-Fourier heat conduction models that
incorporate time non-locality for materials with memory, such as
hereditary materials, including fractional hereditary materials,
and/or spatial non-locality, i.e. materials with a non-homogeneous
inner structure. Beginning with an introduction to classical
transport theory, including phase-lag, phonon, and thermomass
models, the book then looks at various aspects of relativistic and
quantum transport, including approaches based on the Landauer
formalism as well as the Green-Kubo theory of linear response.
Featuring an appendix that provides an introduction to methods in
fractional calculus, this book is a valuable resource for any
researcher interested in theoretical and numerical aspects of
complex, non-trivial heat conduction problems.
The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book

Cryobiologyisatruemultidisciplinaryscienceinvolvingconceptsfrombiology,
medicine, and physics. Its ?eld comprises the study of any
biologicalobject or system (e. g. , proteins, cells, tissues,
organs, or organisms) under the temp- atures below the normal
(ranging from hypothermic conditions to cryogenic temperatures):
cold-adaptation of organisms; cryoconservation of biological
objects; conservation of organs under hypothermic conditions;
lyophilization; cryosurgery. Origins of cryobiology could be traced
down to ancient Eg- tians; probably the ?rst scienti?c account of
this science is the monograph by Sir Robert Boyle "New Experiments
and Observations Touching Cold" (London, 1683). Twentieth century
witnessed a rapid development of cryo-
ologyrelatedtotheprogressofthecryogenicequipment(closedsystemsbased
on liquid nitrogen, Joule-Tohomson cooling with mixed gases, etc.
), devel- ments of monitoring techniques, extension of the list of
diseases that have been successfully treated by cryomedicine, and
consolidation of research by foundation (simultaneously in 1964) of
two major scienti?c societies in this ? eld - The Society for
Cryobiology and The Society for Low Temperature Biology. There are
a lot of good books on cryobiologythat can be divided into two
groups: (1) the ones that treat the whole ?eld of cryobiology -
these ones are
somewhatout-of-dateand(2)thebooksonspeci?capplicationsofcryobiology
such as cryosurgery or cryoconservation.
