Advanced Computer Simulation Approaches for Soft Matter Sciences II (Advances in Polymer Science) (Advances in Polymer Science)

Book Description

The fractal concept has become an important tool for understanding irregular complex systems in various scientific disciplines. This book discusses in great detail fractals in biology, heterogeneous chemistry, polymers, and the earth sciences. Beginning with a general introduction to fractal geometry it continues with eight chapters on self-organized criticality, rough surfaces and interfaces, random walks, chemical reactions, and fractals in chemisty, biology, and medicine. A special chapter entitled "Computer Exploration of Fractals, Chaos, and Cooperativity" presents computer demonstrations of fractal models. 14 executable programs are included on a 3 1/2" MS-DOS diskette and run on any IBM or compatible computer.

Book Description

Among the thousands of synthesized polymers, new polymeric substances and materials with new, often unusual, properties often arise. Consequently, this presents a problem in determining the physical properties of polymers, and thus makes it difficult to ascertain how to synthesize polymers with desired properties. This book discusses what molecular modelling can do to predict the properties of realistic polymer systems. Organized by property, each chapter will address the methods one may use to study the particular system.
* Focuses on polymer properties rather than methods, making it more accessible to the average scientist/engineer
* All important polymers will be covered, such as amorphous polymers, semicrystalline polymers, elastomers, emulsions, polymer interfaces and surfaces
* Chapters contributed by experts in the field
* Discusses current commercial software used in molecular simulation

Book Description

Written by leading experts from around the world, Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations in Polymer Science comprehensively reviews the latest simulation techniques for macromolecular materials. Focusing in particular on numerous new techniques, the book offers authoritative introductions to solutions of neutral polymers and polyelectrolytes; dynamics of polymer melts, rubbers and gels, and glassy materials; thermodynamics of polymer mixing and mesophase formation, and polymers confined at interfaces and grafted to walls. Throughout, contributors offer practical advice on how to overcome the unique challenges posed by the large size and slow relaxation of polymer coils. Students and researchers in polymer chemistry, polymer physics, chemical engineering, and materials and computational science will all benefit from the cogent, step-by-step introductions contained in this important new book.

ASIN: 1423556399

Product Description

This is a NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER TRAINING SYSTEMS DIV ORLANDO FL report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A105653. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: As small arms weapon simulation systems are increasingly employed by military and law enforcement agencies, requirements and specifications for weapon tracking systems need to be addressed. The integration of weapon tracking systems is hampered by a lack of standardized methods for their testing and analysis. This report documents suggested standardized test procedures for evaluating position/orientation tracking systems relative to their ability to perform in Weapons Fire Simulators. Discussions are provided on tracking system basics including: the terminology used in tracking systems, the different tracking types and technologies, and weapon fire simulation requirements. A computer controlled motorized linear track was used to evaluate performance characteristics of weapon tracking systems. The evaluation discussion includes: the definition of the parameters to be tested, the equipment and procedures to be used, and the analysis of the data recorded. Data is collected to evaluate the parameters of resolution and accuracy for both position and orientation. Two distinct weapons tracking cases are tested for accuracy: static and dynamic. These two cases evaluate a tracker's use in marksmanship training, where the weapon is barely moving, and tactics training, where the weapon is moving at moderate to high angular and translational rates. Procedures are provided for each test, describing the data to be collected and the calculations to be performed.

From the author: Non-Newtonian flow has a nonlinear constitutive relationship with an advective nature. It was found that in highly advective (convective) problems, the Galerkin formulation "under-diffused," resulting in divergence at low elastic numbers. The use of the Streamline-Upwinding (SU) method improved the solution, especially when used with the Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) model. At the boundary discontinuity, however, the stress gradient did not necessarily flow along the streamline direction, and oscillations still remained at the corner. The Discontinuity-Capturing (DC) method resolved this problem by applying control in the direction of the stress gradient rather than the stream line direction, and a smoother solution at the comer region was achieved.

Book Description

Where does consciousness come from? What is it? Where is it taking us? In 1971 Nicholas Humphrey spent three months at Dian Fossey's gorilla research centre in Rwanda. It was there, among the mountain gorillas that he began to focus on the philosphical and scientific puzzle that has fascinated him ever since: the problem of how a human being or animal can know what it is like to be itself. The Inner Eye describes where these original speculations led: to Humphrey's now celebrated theories of the 'social function of intellect' and of human beings as natural born 'mind-readers'. Easy to read, adorned with Mel Calman's brilliant illustrations, passionately argued, yet never less than scientifically profound, this book remains the best introduction to new thinking about 'theory of mind' and its implication for human social life.

Book Description

Originally serialized in "PUNCH" in 1845, Mrs. Caudle's incessant petty lectures to her unfortunate husband--enacted in the matrimonial bed at the close of each day when he is compelled to lie and listen--are as hilarious and familiar today as when first penned. Introduction by Peter Ackroyd.

Download Description

Puddings, indeed! Do you think I'm made of puddings? Didn't you have some boiled rice three weeks ago? Besides, is this the time of the year for puddings? It's all very well if I had money enough allowed me like any other wife to keep the house with: then, indeed, I might have preserves like any other woman; now, it's impossible; and it's cruel--yes, Mr. Caudle, cruel--of you to expect it.

Addictive!.......2003-12-09

At first I thought, "Oh, this is going to be annoying." But quickly it became an addiction. I HAD to keep reading this woman's shrewish sermons to her husband. His pitiful attempts to defend himself are hilarious. I can only imagine the author laughing his head off while writing it. It's a must-read for fans of satire.

Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures, by Douglas Jerrold.......2001-12-27

It is to be expected that any book written as long ago as 1845 is, in and of its very nature, dated; that's a given. Humor, alas,dies the death of old age far faster than other forms of literature. But, except for certain words and expressions, (which might be difficult at any age, given the difference between American and British English), this book was still vastly humorous to me; it is still easy to see why the original publication of these "lectures" was the making of the British humor magazine "Punch". It is as fine an example of well-written humorous fiction as I would hope to find.
