Low-temperature radio frequency plasmas are essential in various sectors of advanced technology, from micro-engineering to spacecraft propulsion systems and efficient sources of light. The subject lies at the complex interfaces between physics, chemistry and engineering. Focusing mostly on physics, this book will interest graduate students and researchers in applied physics and electrical engineering. The book incorporates a cutting-edge perspective on RF plasmas. It also covers basic plasma physics including transport in bounded plasmas and electrical diagnostics.
Biomedical Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary and well established discipline spanning across Engineering, Medicine and Biology. A single definition of Bio medical Engineering is hardly unanimously accepted but it is often easier to identify what activities are included in it.
Here is an exciting and informative guide to the past, present and future of farming. Superb color photographs give the reader a unique "eyewitness" view of farm animals, crops, machines, harvesting and every other aspect of farming. See all kinds of farm animals, both new breeds and old, a steam threshing machine, a sheep being shorn, a reaper-binder in action, and horses at work. Learn how a cornstack is built, how genetic engineering affects farm animals, when the first plows were made, and what organic farmers do. Discover who grew potatoes first, the inventions of the Egyptians, where corn is stored, what different animals eat, what a dock lifter looks like, and much, much more.
Who Should Read This Book? * Students studying engineering and wondering what to expect after their university courses, * those who teach or train engineers, * and those working in engineering procurement.
Cellular Automata: Innovative Modelling for Science and Engineering
Modelling and simulation are disciplines of major importance for science and engineering. There is no science without models, and simulation has nowadays become a very useful tool, sometimes unavoidable, for development of both science and engineering. The main attractive feature of cellular automata is that, in spite of their conceptual simplicity which allows an easiness of implementation for computer simulation, as a detailed and complete mathematical analysis in principle, they are able to exhibit a wide variety of amazingly complex behaviour.
