Noise and Vibration affects all kinds of engineering structures, and is fast becoming an integral part of engineering courses at universities and colleges around the world. In this second edition, Michael Nortons classic text has been extensively updated to take into account recent developments in the field. Much of the new material has been provided by Denis Karczub, who joins Michael as second author for this edition. This book treats both noise and vibration in a single volume, with particular emphasis on wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. There are numerous case studies, test cases, and examples for students to work through. The book is primarily intended as a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, but is also a valuable reference for researchers and professionals looking to gain an overview of the field. Revised classic text Combines noise and vibration in one book Ideal for undergraduate courses, practising engineers and researchers

Natural populations of plants show intricate patterns of variation. European botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used this variation to classify different kinds into a hierarchy of family, genus, and species. Although useful, these classifications were based on a belief in the fixity of species and the static patterns of variation. Darwins theory of evolution changed this view; populations and species varied in time and space and were part of a continuing process of evolution. The development of molecular techniques has transformed our understanding of microevolution and the evolutionary history of the flowering plants. This new edition reviews recent progress in its historical context, showing how hypotheses and models developed in the past have been critically tested. The authors consider the remarkable insights that molecular biology has given us into the processes of evolution in populations of cultivated, wild and weedy species, the threats of extinction faced by many endangered species and the wider evolutionary history of the flowering plants as revealed by cladistic methods.

Los últimos años han mostrado avances extraordinarios en la bioquímica, en particular en las áreas de la estructura y la función macromoleculares y en la biología molecular. En este contexto, la cuarta edicion de Fundamentos de Bioquimica incluye cambios significativos y actualizaciones de los contenidos que proporcionan una base bioquimica solida, enraizada en la quimica, a fin de preparar a los estudiantes para los desafios cientificos del futuro.

The Illustrated Dictionary of Mycology contains definitions and etymological derivations of over 3,800 mycology terms. This up-to-date reference book enables users to understand the technical terms used in the field of mycology and effectively communicate with colleagues.This beautifully bound hardcover dictionary is easy to use and will be helpful to plant scientists and students at all levels. It features abundant illustrations or photographs inserted near appropriate terms. Each entry is accompanied by a reference to one or more fungi species related to the particular term. A taxonomic outline of the taxa is provided to help those unfamiliar with the grouping of any particular genus. This substantial volume also includes several broader biological terms encountered in mycological literature.

This book contains the ideas of functional data analysis by a number of case studies. The case studies are accessible to research workers in a wide range of disciplines. Every reader should gain not only a specific understanding of the methods of functional data analysis, but more importantly a general insight into the underlying patterns of thought. There is an associated web site with MATLABr and S?PLUSr implementations of the methods discussed.

An Introduction to High Impact Meteorology

El objetivo de la obra sigue siendo el mismo que en las ediciones anteriores, exponer las técnicas estadísticas usadas con más frecuencia en la investigación biomédica, describiéndolas de tal modo que sean accesibles para un lector no matematico. Se ha acudido a ejemplos de aplicacion biomedica, especialmente a partir de proyectos de investigacion, de tal forma que el lector pueda comprender la utilidad futura del estudio estadistico para su profesion. La nueva edicion mantiene el orden y la organizacion de los capitulos de las anteriores, pero presenta novedades importantes de contenido.
