Es un libro de texto con orientación práctica, dirigido a estudiantes de ingeniería; también puede utilizarse como libro de consulta entre ingenieros profesionales. En el texto se cubre los temas fundamentales de la transferencia de calor y se resaltan las aplicaciones de la física en el mundo real. Se ha conservado la filosofía de las ediciones anteriores: ¿aprender mediante la práctica¿ y se ha mejorado con las sugerencias de alumnos y colegas.

Las ondas cosa forman la parte final de los sismogramas de terremotos locales que se registran en el rango de corto periodo, despues de las llegadas de las fases directas como las ondas S y superficiales. Los estudios relacionados con los modelos de generacion de ondas cosa, su propagacion y la informacion sobre las propiedades del medio que suministran, han ido tomando cada vez mas importancia desde que en 1975 Aki y Chouet formularon su teoria.

This user-friendly companion to the cosmos is packed with a universe of facts. Embarking on a 13.7 billion light year journey, it will steer you safety through the myriads of exotic celestial objects, from active galactic nuclei to gamma-ray bursters that lie between our home planet and the very edge of space and time. Published in a special large format edition, fully up-to-date with the latest discoveries and gloriously illustrated with 500 images.

In the field of molecular evolution, inferences about past evolutionary events are made using molecular data from currently living species. With the availability of genomic data from multiple related species, molecular evolution has become one of the most active and fastest growing fields of study in genomics and bioinformatics. Most studies in molecular evolution rely heavily on statistical procedures based on stochastic process modelling and advanced computational methods including high-dimensional numerical optimization and Markov Chain Monte Carlo.This book provides an overview of the statistical theory and methods used in studies of molecular evolution. It includes an introductory section suitable for readers that are new to the field, a section discussing practical methods for data analysis, and more specialized sections discussing specific models and addressing statistical issues relating to estimation and model choice. The chapters are written by the leaders of field and they will take the reader from basic introductory material to the state-of-the-art statistical methods.This book is suitable for statisticians seeking to learn more about applications in molecular evolution and molecular evolutionary biologists with an interest in learning more about the theory behind the statistical methods applied in the field.The chapters of the book assume no advanced mathematical skills beyond basic calculus, although familiarity with basic probability theory will help the reader. Most relevant statistical concepts are introduced in the book in the context of their application in molecular evolution, and the book should be accessible for most biology graduate students with an interest in quantitative methods and theory.Rasmus Nielsen received his Ph.D. form the University of California at Berkeley in 1998 and after a postdoc at Harvard University, he assumed a faculty position in Statistical Genomics at Cornell University. He is currently an Ole Romer Fellow at the University of Copenhagen and holds a Sloan Research Fellowship. His is an associate editor of the Journal of Molecular Evolution and has published more than fifty original papers in peer-reviewed journals on the topic of this book.From the reviews: ''...Overall this is a very useful book in an area of increasing importance'' - "Journal of the Royal Statistical Society".

Practicar la astronomía en un entorno urbano parece imposible debido a la contaminación lumínica e industrial. Sin embargo, muchos aficionados consiguen observar y fotografiar estrellas, planetas y otros objetos celestes desde las ventanas, balcones o terrazas.

Física nuclear y de partículas aborda con rigor y claridad temas de física de actualidad como el estado de las investigaciones sobre núcleos, un estudio de la variedad de desintegraciones y reacciones nucleares y sus aplicaciones, ademas de los constituyentes mas intimos de la materia: quarks y leptones. Su contenido se dirige a los estudiantes de fisicas, de ingenierias y otras licenciaturas afines. Ademas, cientificos y tecnologos encontraran capitulos de gran interes en torno a las caracteristicas de la radiacion (alfa, beta o gamma), las propiedades de los aceleradores y detectores de particulas, los metodos de analisis de datos y los fundamentos de las reacciones de fision y fusion nuclear.
