Market: Graduate students in condensed matter and atomic and molecular physics. This engagingly written book introduces the field and provides important information for those making low temperature measurements. Fundamental thermodynamic considerations are covered at the start and the book concludes with commercial applications and an appendix on laser cooling.
Covering over 90 species and with over 500 color photographs, this book has been long awaited by both tree professionals and anyone who wants to identify a tree in the Virgin Islands and south Florida. Rare for field guides, this user-friendly book provides for all the species the same categories of complete text: form, leaves and bark, flowers, fruits, habitat, and uses. Also for each species there are photos of the whole tree, bark, leaves, flowers, and fruit. The organization of the book makes it easy to identify a tree. The trees are divided into sections primarily based on how the leaves are arranged on the twig. So you can look at a twig and decide which section of the book in which you should search for it. In addition to the 90 main species covered completely, many more that somehow relate to the main species are mentioned. Though most of the trees are native, many exotics that have been introduced are also included, as many of them are now widespread, particularly in south Florida.
This book records the proceedings of an international seminar on lignin biodegradation held May 9 to 11, 1978 and provides a state-of-the-art summary of research. It reviews the lignin structure, morphological distribution in plant cell walls and the microbial catabolism of relevant aromatics.
Comprehensive Reference Work on Multivariate Analysis and Its Applications The first edition of this book, by Mardia, Kent and Bibby, has been widely used globally for over 40 years. This second edition brings many topics up to date, with a special emphasis on recent developments. A wide range of material in multivariate analysis is covered, including the classical themes of multivariate normal theory, multivariate regression, inference, multidimensional scaling, factor analysis, cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The book also now covers modern developments such as graphical models, robust estimation, statistical learning, and high-dimensional methods. The book expertly blends theory and application, providing numerous worked examples and exercises at the end of each chapter. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of mathematical statistics at an undergraduate level together with an elementary understanding of linear algebra. There are appendices which provide a background in matrix algebra, a summary of univariate statistics, a collection of statistical tables and a discussion of computational aspects. The work includes coverage of: Basic properties of random vectors, normal distribution theory, and estimation Hypothesis testing, multivariate regression, and analysis of variance Principal component analysis, factor analysis, and canonical correlation analysis Cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling New advances and techniques, including statistical learning, graphical models and regularization methods for high-dimensional data Although primarily designed as a textbook for final year undergraduates and postgraduate students in mathematics and statistics, the book will also be of interest to research workers and applied scientists.
Determines the necessity for price control during wartime and outlines the general principles for governing the application of price controls to the national wartime economy, and to evaluate the employment of those principles in current mobilization planning.
