This book offers a comprehensive and cohesive overview of transport
processes associated with all kinds of charged particles, including
electrons, ions, positrons, and muons, in both gases and condensed
matter. The emphasis is on fundamental physics, linking experiment,
theory and applications. In particular, the authors discuss: The
kinetic theory of gases, from the traditional Boltzmann equation to
modern generalizations A complementary approach: Maxwell's
equations of change and fluid modeling Calculation of ion-atom
scattering cross sections Extension to soft condensed matter,
amorphous materials Applications: drift tube experiments, including
the Franck-Hertz experiment, modeling plasma processing devices,
muon catalysed fusion, positron emission tomography, gaseous
radiation detectors Straightforward, physically-based arguments are
used wherever possible to complement mathematical rigor. Robert
Robson has held professorial positions in Japan, the USA and
Australia, and was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at several
universities in Germany. He is a Fellow of the American Physical
Society. Ronald White is Professor of Physics and Head of Physical
Sciences at James Cook University, Australia. Malte Hildebrandt is
Head of the Detector Group in the Laboratory of Particle Physics at
the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland.
Recently there has been a widespread resurgence of interest in the applications of hydrogen as a "clean fuel" with its potential for local electricity production and use in transport. The last five years have seen breakthroughs in our understanding of the nature, structure and biosynthesis of hydrogenases. This book is a timely description of these developments, taking a lucid, multidisciplinary approach. Scientists in fields such as clean technology, biochemistry, electrochemistry, agriculture and general biotechnology will find this an accessible resource bringing together the many facets of these enzymes. eBook available with sample pages: 0203471040

A comprehensive introduction and guide to the STL, pitched at the level of readers already familiar with C++. It presents a thorough overview of the capabilities of the STL, detailed discussions of the use of containers, descriptions of the algorithms and how they may be used, and how the STL may be extended. An appendix provides an alphabetical reference to the entire STL, making this an extremely useful hands-on text for programmers of C++ and students coming to the STL for the first time.
