Comprehensive Organic Chemistry : Sulphur, Selenium, Silicon, Boron, Organometallic Compounds (Comprehensive Organic Chemistry)

Book Description

A medium-sized reference work designed to fill the gap between the smaller and less informative works on organic chemistry of the text-book style and existing multi-volume series which are published in parts over long periods. The contents reflect what are judged to be truly important facets of modern organic chemistry. Emphasis has been given throughout to the properties and reactions of all the important classes of organic compounds, including the remarkable array of different compounds prepared by synthesis as well as natural products created by biosynthesis. The information is presented in a concise and logical manner with mechanistic organic chemistry being adopted to provide a constant and correlative theme.

Book Description

The purpose of the book is to present some recent progress in two active and related areas of continuum mechanics: fracture mechanics and structured deformations. The book may be divided into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of structured deformations, a basic concept that can be used to describe smooth and nonsmooth geometrical changes at different length scales, including, for example, both slip and microslip and, of particular interest in the second part of this course, both macroscopic fracture and microfracture. The work presents an updated account of the state-of-the-art in the subject.

Book Description

Molecular modelling, with greater accuracy than ever, allows for the fastest and most economical way of experimenting before creating a new product or material. While the scientific world has generally not solved the problem, methods have been developed which are proving feasible in solving specific problems or predicting specific phenomena or properties.
Led by editors who have expertise in this area, Multiscale Simulation Methods for Materials explores the impact of using an arsenal of molecular modelling tools for various simulations in industrial settings. It provides an overview of the available methods for providing atomistic simulation of a broad range of materials using our increased understanding of molecular scale, nanoscale, mesoscale, and macroscale phenomena. The strengths and weaknesses of the methods at hand are discussed within a context of real-world examples.
Unlike other texts, this book focuses on the most cutting-edge area within computational chemistry and molecular modelling: macromolecular simulations of a range of materials, and is aimed more toward the chemistry and chemical engineering communities than any previously published titles in this area.

From the author: This article presents the development, verification, and validation of three-dimensional (3-D) numerical simulation for injection molding filling of 3-D parts and parts with microsurface features. For purpose of verification and comparison, two numerical models, the mixed model and the equal-order model, were used to solve the Stokes equations with three different tetrahedral elements (Taylor-Hood, MINI, and equal-order). The control volume scheme with tetrahedral finite element mesh was used for tracking advancing melt fronts and the operator splitting method was selected to solve the energy equation. A new, simple memory management procedure was introduced to deal with the large sparse matrix system without using a huge amount of storage space. The numerical simulation was validated for mold filling of a 3-D optical lens. The numerical simulation agreed very well with the experimental results and was useful in suggesting a better processing condition. As a new application area, a two-step macro-micro filling approach was adopted for the filling analysis of a part with a micro-surface feature to handle both macro and micro dimensions while avoiding an excessive number of elements.

Book Description

The main theme of the book centers around adaptive numerical schemes for conservation laws based on a concept of multiresolution analysis. Efficient algorithms are presented for implementing this program for finite volume schemes on unstructured grids for general systems of multidimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The efficiency is verified for several realistic numerical test examples. In addition, a rather thorough error analysis is supporting the approach. The monograph covers material ranging from the mathematical theory of conservation laws to the nitty-gritty of hash tables and memory management for an actual implementation. This makes it a self-contained book for both numerical analysts interested in the construction and the theory of adapative finite volume schemes as well as for those looking for a detailed guide on how to design and implement adaptive wavelet based solvers for real world problems. Since modern techniques are presented in an appealing way, the material is also well suited for an advanced course in numerical mathematics.

Book Description

Many computionally challenging problems omnipresent in science and engineering exhibit multiscale phenomena so that the task of computing or even representing all scales of action is computationally very expensive unless the multiscale nature of these problems is exploited in a fundamental way. Some diverse examples of practical interest include the computation of fluid turbulence, structural analysis of composite materials, terabyte data mining, image processing, and a multitude of others. This book consists of both invited and contributed articles which address many facets of efficient multiscale representation and scientific computation from varied viewpoints such as hierarchical data representations, multilevel algorithms, algebraic homogeni- zation, and others. This book should be of particular interest to readers interested in recent and emerging trends in multiscale and multiresolution computation with application to a wide range of practical problems.

He was a little kid in a tough neighborhood and with a name like Clarence, he developed an acute inferiority complex. Thanks to two teachers who helped him appreciate reading and writing, he had a goal in life that he never quit pursuing.

Book Description

By any measure, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., led a full and remarkable life. He was tall and exceptionally attractive, especially as he aged, with piercing eyes, a shock of white hair, and prominent moustache. He was the son of a famous father (Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., renowned for "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table"), a thrice-wounded veteran of the Civil War, a Harvard-educated member of Brahmin Boston, the acquaintance of Longfellow, Lowell, and Emerson, and for a time a close friend of William James. He wrote one of the classic works of American legal scholarship, The Common Law, and he served with distinction on the Supreme Court of the United States. He was actively involved in the Court's work into his nineties. In Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, G. Edward White, the acclaimed biographer of Earl Warren and one of America's most esteemed legal scholars, provides a rounded portrait of this remarkable jurist. We see Holmes's early life in Boston and at Harvard, his ambivalent relationship with his father, and his harrowing service during the Civil War (he was wounded three times, twice nearly fatally, shot in the chest in his first action, and later shot through the neck at Antietam). White examines Holmes's curious, childless marriage (his diary for 1872 noted on June 17th that he had married Fanny Bowditch Dixwell, and the next sentence indicated that he had become the sole editor of the American Law Review) and he includes new information on Holmes's relationship with Clare Castletown. White not only provides a vivid portrait of Holmes's life, but examines in depth the inner life and thought of this preeminent legal figure. There is a full chapter devoted to The Common Law, for instance, and throughout the book, there is astute commentary on Holmes's legal writings. Indeed, White reveals that some of the themes that have dominated 20th-century American jurisprudence--including protection for free speech and the belief that "judges make the law"--originated in Holmes's work. Perhaps most important, White suggests that understanding Holmes's life is crucial to understanding his work, and he continually stresses the connections between Holmes's legal career and his personal life. For instance, his desire to distinguish himself from his father and from the "soft" literary culture of his father's generation drove him to legal scholarship of a particularly demanding kind. White's biography of Earl Warren was hailed by Anthony Lewis on the cover of The New York Times Book Review as "serious and fascinating," and The Los Angeles Times noted that "White has gone beyond the labels and given us the man." In Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, White has produced an equally serious and fascinating biography, one that again goes beyond the labels and gives us the man himself.

Customer Reviews:

A wonderful book. Very detailed but also lucid........1999-01-16

Two apsects strike me in reading about Holmes. First is his life. What a great subject. Holmes is almost as exciting to read about as Lincoln. The second is his jurisprudence. White does a fine job covering both. I like White's style. Somewhat loose but never inaccurate, his biography is very readable.

Two chapters: The Supreme Court of Massachusetts and the "Progressive Judge" are so wonderfully written that they deserve to be read twice.

I read the book over a period of four months which is something I rarely do. This is because the subject and content are so important that the philosophy of Holmes takes some time to perculate. White's description of Holmes influenced my perspective greatly.
