One of the most exciting developments in modern physics has been
the discovery of the new class of oxide materials with high
superconducting transition temperature. Systems with Tc well above
liquid nitrogen temperature are already a reality and higher Tc's
are anticipated. Indeed, the idea of a room-temperature
superconductor, which just a short time ago was considered science
fiction, appears to be a distinctly possible outcome of materials
research. To address the need to train students and scientists for
research in this exciting field, Jeffrey W. Lynn and colleagues at
the University of Maryland, College Park, as well as other
superconductivity experts from around the U.S., taught a
graduate-level course in the fall of 1987, from which the chapters
in this book were drawn. Subjects included are: Survey of
superconductivity (J. Lynn).- The theory of type-II
superconductivity (D. Belitz).- The Josephson effect (P. Ferrell).-
Crystallography (A. Santoro).- Electronic structure (C.P. Wang).-
Magnetic properties and interactions (J. Lynn).- Synthesis and
diamagnetic properties (R. Shelton).- Electron pairing (P. Allen).-
Superconducting devices (F. Bedard).- Superconducting properties
(J. Crow, N.-P. Ong).
Provides a broad survey across important aspects for understanding
mechanisms of immunity to infectious disease, including general
features of antibodies and approaches to antibody discovery,
individual chapters highlighting antibodies against particular
pathogens, and state-of-the-art technical advances and expression
systems. This title is published by the American Society of
Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of
world territories.
Betrayed and left for dead on the battlefield, US Army General John
Blackthorn awakens many thousands of years later to find himself
trapped amidst the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Mars, his only
companions a savage Mock-Man and a mysterious sorceress. Their war
to free this strange new world from oppression won't be easy:
Arrayed against them are the four tyrannical First Men--masters of
magic and technology alike--the dreaded Sorcerers of Mars
BLACKTHORN: THUNDER ON MARS is a post-apocalyptic adventure saga in
the spirit of "Thundarr the Barbarian" and "John Carter of Mars,"
featuring original stories by New Pulp luminaries Mark Bousquet,
Joe Crowe, Bobby Nash, James Palmer, Van Allen Plexico, Sean
Taylor, and I. A. Watson, and illustrated by Chris Kohler.
"Original, entertaining, action-packed " --Wayne Reinagel, author
of the Pulp Heroes and Modern Marvels novels.
