![]() Free Download Numerical and Practical Exercises in Thermoluminescence by Vasilis Pagonis , George Kitis , Claudio Furetta English | PDF (True) | 2006 | 227 Pages | ISBN : 0387260633 | 2.3 MB Thermoluminescence (TL) is a well-established technique widely used in do- metric and dating applications. Although several excellent reference books exist which document both the t- oretical and experimental aspects of TL, there is a general lack of books that deal withspeci?cnumericalandpracticalaspectsofanalyzingTLdata. Manytimesthe practicaldetailsofanalyzingnumericalTLglowcurvesandofapplyingtheoretical models are dif?cult to ?nd in the published literature. The purpose of this book is to provide a practical guide for both established researchers and for new graduate students entering the ?eld of TL and is intended to be used in conjunction with and as a practical supplement of standard textbooks in the ?eld. Chapter1 lays the mathematical ground work for subsequent chapters by preseing the fundamental mathematical expressions most comm only used for analyzing experimental TL data. ![]() Free Download Numerical Simulation Algorithm of Electromagnetic Field for Grounding Problems in Power System Substation Grounding Grids English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819609038 | 457 Pages | PDF (True) | 37 MB This book focuses on numerical methods for grounding problems in substation grounding systems, which are rooted in horizontal multilayered earth models. The book discusses both theories and engineering applications and provides case studies to verify the accuracy of the methods introduced. Up to ten horizontal multilayered soil models were considered. This book employs numerical algorithms for Galerkin's method, including Galerkin's method of moments, Galerkin's boundary element method, and hybrid algorithms based on a variety of basis functions that have emerged as a result of simplifying Galerkin's method of moments. These numerical methods include both frequency and time domain algorithms that can be used to numerically simulate transient and steady state grounding problems in substation grounding grids. The most outstanding feature of this book is the incorporation of the frequency- and time-domain quasi-static complex imaging method (QSCIM) for point current sources in layered conducting media and its closed-form Green's function, as well as analytical algorithms for calculating the spatial two-dimensional line integrals of mutual impedances and inductances into numerical algorithmic modeling of electromagnetic fields, which greatly improves computational speed and accuracy. ![]() Free Download John Mayer, "Nuclear Peace: The Story of the Trident Three" English | 2002 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 1904132049 | PDF | 1,6 mb In 1999 three middle-aged women disarmed the Trident Thermonuclear Submarine Fleet on a quiet Scottish Loch. Politicians and campaigners around the world watched their subsequent arrest and trial. The peace campaigners who undertook this direct action took the unprecedented step of suing the British government under international law for crimes against humanity. What emerges is an extraordinary story with the most wide-ranging implications of any act of disarmament since the formation of the anti-nuclear movement. This book is written by the man closest to the Trident Three-their lawyer. Using the highest laws in the world-the Nuremberg Principles and the reasoning handed down by the World Court-John Mayer's argument persuaded independent judiciary that nuclear weapons lie outside the bounds of international law. ![]() Free Download Nuclear Energy: Principles, Practices, and Prospects by David Bodansky English | PDF (True) | 2005 | 701 Pages | ISBN : 0387207783 | 5.8 MB This second edition represents an extensive revision of the ?rst edition, - though the motivation for the book and the intended audiences, as described inthepreviouspreface,remainthesame. Theoveralllengthhasbeenincreased substantially, with revised or expanded discussions of a number of topics, - cluding Yucca Mountain repository plans, new reactor designs, health e?ects of radiation, costs of electricity, and dangers from terrorism and weapons p- liferation. The overall status of nuclear power has changed rather little over the past eight years. Nuclear reactor construction remains at a very low ebb in much of the world, with the exception of Asia, while nuclear power's share of the electricity supply continues to be about 75% in France and 20% in the United States. However,therearesignsofaheightenedinterestinconsideringpossible nuclear growth. In the late 1990s, the U. S. Department of Energy began new programs to stimulate research and planning for future reactors, and many candidate designs are now contending-at least on paper-to be the next generation leaders. Outside the United States, the commercial development ofthePebbleBedModularReactorisbeingpursuedinSouthAfrica,aFrench- German consortium has won an order from Finlandfor the long-plannedEPR (European Pressurized Water Reactor), and new reactors have been built or planned in Asia. In an unanticipated positive development for nuclear energy, the capacity factor of U. S. reactors has increased dramatically in recent years, and most operating reactors now appear headed for 20-year license renewals. ![]() Free Download Not Much Left: The Fate of Liberalism in America By Tom Waldman 2008 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0520932862 | PDF | 1 MB Tom Waldman's lively and sweeping assessment of the state of American liberalism begins with the political turbulence of 1968 and culminates with the 2006 takeover of Congress by the Democratic Party. Not Much Left: The Fate of Liberalism in America vividly demonstrates how the progressive and liberal wing of the Democratic Party helped end a war, won the civil rights battle, and paved the way for blacks, women, gays, and other minorities to achieve full citizenship. Through reportage, anecdotes, and analysis-particularly of the disastrous defeat of Democrat George McGovern in 1972-Waldman chronicles how the grand coalition that achieved so much in the 1960s began to self-destruct in the early 1970s. Citing the Republican recovery from Barry Goldwater's 1964 defeat, Waldman demonstrates how the two parties' very different reactions to electoral debacle account for recent Republican dominance and Democratic impotence. Assessing liberalism's fate through the Carter and Reagan presidencies, the defeat of Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election, and the on-again, off-again liberalism of the Clinton years, Waldman then brings the discussion up to date with analysis of the 2008 presidential campaign. ![]() Free Download Steven Bernstein, "Norms, Practices, and Social Change in Global Politics " English | ISBN: 1009561014 | 2025 | 75 pages | PDF | 2 MB Debate over how to recognize and understand change and continuity has long animated the field of International Relations. This Element brings norm-oriented and practice-oriented approaches into conversation to advance a wide-ranging account of change and continuity in global politics. It elaborates four scenarios in which norm and practice interactions produce change and continuity: relative continuity and a tight coupling of practices and norms; change through accidental incompetence; new competencies that create disjunctures; and change through deliberate contestation. It demonstrates the utility of the approach using empirical illustrations from the fields of global health and development. The Element also shows the wider applicability of the scenarios for major contemporary debates about change in global governance and security. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. ![]() Free Download Noncommutative Geometry and Particle Physics by Walter D. van Suijlekom English | PDF (True) | 2015 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 9402401717 | 3.9 MB This book provides an introduction to noncommutative geometry and presents a number of its recent applications to particle physics. It is intended for graduate students in mathematics/theoretical physics who are new to the field of noncommutative geometry, as well as for researchers in mathematics/theoretical physics with an interest in the physical applications of noncommutative geometry. In the first part, we introduce the main concepts and techniques by studying finite noncommutative spaces, providing a "light" approach to noncommutative geometry. We then proceed with the general framework by defining and analyzing noncommutative spin manifolds and deriving some main results on them, such as the local index formula. In the second part, we show how noncommutative spin manifolds naturally give rise to gauge theories, applying this principle to specific examples. We subsequently geometrically derive abelian and non-abelian Yang-Mills gauge theories, and eventually the full Standard Model of particle physics, and conclude by explaining how noncommutative geometry might indicate how to proceed beyond the Standard Model. ![]() Free Download Non-Linear Optical Properties of Matter: From molecules to condensed phases by Manthos G.
