This book presents recent results on nonlinear evolutionary fluid equations such as the compressible (radiative) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations, compressible viscous micropolar fluid equations, the full non-Newtonian fluid equations and non-autonomous compressible Navier-Stokes equations. These types of partial differential equations arise in many fields of mathematics, but also in other branches of science such as physics and fluid dynamics.This book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers interested in partial differential equations, and will also benefit practitioners in physics and engineering.

Vertebrados Jacint Nadal Puigdefábregas Esta obra da una visión completa de lo que es una zoología de vertebrados con sus bases científicas. En ella se estudian el origen de los vertebrados, su organizacion, su diversidad y su biologia, sin olvidar los conocimientos aportados por la genetica molecular, al menos en aquellos puntos en los que ayuda a dilucidar la posicion sistematica de algunos grupos. Se trata de una obra que permite al lector acercarse al conocimiento global del mundo de los vertebrados.

This introduction to Atomic and Molecular Physics explains how our present model of atoms and molecules has been developed over the last two centuries both by many experimental discoveries and, from the theoretical side, by the introduction of quantum physics to the adequate description of micro-particles. It illustrates the wave model of particles by many examples and shows the limits of classical description. The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules and its potential for spectroscopy is outlined in more detail and in particular lasers as modern spectroscopic tools are discussed more thoroughly.Many examples and problems with solutions are offered to encourage readers to actively engage in applying and adapting the fundamental physics presented in this textbook to specific situations. Completely revised third edition with new sections covering all actual developments, like photonics, ultrashort lasers, ultraprecise frequency combs, free electron lasers, cooling and trapping of atoms, quantum optics and quantum information.

Differential equations are the basis for models of any physical systems that exhibit smooth change.This book combines traditional teaching on ordinary differential equations with an introduction to the more modern theory of dynamical systems, placing this theory in the context of applications to physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. Beginning with linear systems, including matrix algebra, the focus then shifts to foundational material on non-linear differential equations, drawing heavily on the contraction mapping theorem. Subsequent chapters deal specifically with dynamical systems concepts - flow, chaos, invariant manifolds, bifurcation, etc.An appendix provides simple codes written in Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB software to give students practice with computation applied to dynamical systems problems. For senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. Readers should be comfortable with differential equations and linear algebra and have had some exposure to advanced calculus.- Combines a traditional theoretical development of ordinary differential equations with a modern dynamical systems viewpoint and an emphasis on applications.- Provides a broad perspective on the development of invariant manifolds, bifurcation theory, chaos and geometric Hamiltonian dynamics.- Exercises and examples include applications to biological, electronic, mechanical, fluid, plasma and chemical dynamics.

In this edition, most of the commonly occurring minerals of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are discussed in terms of structure, chemistry, optical and other physical properties, distinguishing features and paragenesis. Important correlations between these aspects of mineralogy are emphasized wherever possible. The content of each section has been updated where needed in the light of published research over the 21 years between editions. Tables of over 200 chemical analyses and formulae are included and a number of older entries have been replaced by more recent examples.Major new features: Entirely new views of crystal structures in perspective using CrystalMaker colour images; Free CrystalViewer interactive CD with 100 mineral structures included (or download the updated special edition of Crystal Viewer DHZ edition available exclusively here.) Over 60 colour photographs of minerals in thin sections of rocks under the petrological microscope Considerably expanded treatment of feldspar and zeolite minerals Mineral identification table based on birefringence and listing other properties Colour strip with appropriate interference colours and birefringences for the main rock-forming mineralsThis book will be useful to undergraduate students of mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, especially those at third or fourth year, engaged in more advanced courses or specialized projects, and also as a reference work for students for Masters degrees by taught courses or research. For doctorate students, and research workers in the Earth Sciences as well as those in Materials Science and other related disciplines, this work can be useful as a condensed version of the very extensive treatment presented in the volumes of the DHZ Series Rock-Forming Minerals, second edition.

Small Carnivores Evolution Ecology Behaviour and Conservation This book focuses on the 232 species of the mammalian Order Carnivora with an average body mass 21 5 kg Small carnivores inhabit virtually all of the Earth s ecosystems adopting terrestrial semi fossorial semi arboreal or semi aquatic lifestyles They occupy multiple trophic levels and therefore play important roles in the regulation of ecosystems such as natural pest control seed dispersal and nutrient cycling In areas where humans have extirpated large carnivores small carnivores may become the dominant predators which may increase their abundance mesopredator release to the point that they can sometimes destabilize communities drive local extirpations and reduce overall biodiversity On the other hand one third of the world s small carnivores are threatened or near threatened with extinction This results from regionally burgeoning human populations industrial and agricultural activities causing habitat reduction destruction fragmentation and pollution Overexploitation persecution and the impacts of introduced predators competitors and pathogens have also negatively affected many small carnivore species Although small carnivores have been intensively studied over the p
