Exploring the nature of space programs and how nations can maximize advantages gained from space operations, this book draws from military and economic theory to describe an original model of the development and employment of a nations ability to operate in space. Chapters discuss the implications for the history and organization of Americas space program, particularly its military dimension.The rise of American naval power early in the 20th century is investigated as an historical analog to the current American situation in space, and a method is proposed for the U.S. to lead a new space age. This books unique theory and analysis will be of interest to policy makers, planners, leaders and enthusiasts interested in Americas future in space.

Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics, Third Edition unifies all aspects of flight dynamics for the efficient development of aerospace vehicle simulations. It provides the reader with a complete set of tools to build, program, and execute simulations. Unlike other books, it uses tensors for modeling flight dynamics in a form invariant under coordinate transformations. For implementation, the tensors are converted into matrices, resulting in compact computer code. In this third edition, the emphasis shifts from FORTRAN to C++, in recognition of the upsurge of object oriented programming in engineering simulations. A new appendix spotlights the C++ architecture of the CADAC++ simulation framework. To aid this new focus, the CADAC4 software package provides-in addition to the FORTRAN programs-eight C++ simulations, which range from UAVs, aircraft, missiles, and boosters to hypersonic aircraft with transfer vehicles for satellite rendezvous. CADAC4, including CADAC Studio for plotting, may be downloaded for free by entering the Supporting Materials password supplied in the book. You need only a Windows-based PC (32 or 64 bit) and a Microsoft C++ compiler. Amply illustrated, this text can be used for advanced undergraduate and graduate instruction or for self-study. Seventy eight problems and nine projects amplify the topics and develop the material further. Qualified instructors may obtain a complimentary solutions manual from AIAA.

Martin Fleischmann was truly one of the 'fathers' of modern electrochemistry having made major contributions to diverse topics within electrochemical science and technology. These include the theory and practice of voltammetry and in situ spectroscopic techniques, instrumentation, electrochemical phase formation, corrosion, electrochemical engineering, electrosynthesis and cold fusion. While intended to honour the memory of Martin Fleischmann, Developments in Electrochemistry is neither a biography nor a history of his contributions. Rather, the book is a series of critical reviews of topics in electrochemical science associated with Martin Fleischmann but remaining important today. The authors are all scientists with outstanding international reputations who have made their own contribution to their topic; most have also worked with Martin Fleischmann and benefitted from his guidance. Each of the 19 chapters within this volume begin with an outline of Martin Fleischmann's contribution to the topic, followed by examples of research, established applications and prospects for future developments. The book is of interest to both students and experienced workers in universities and industry who are active in developing electrochemical science.

Thermodynamics is a core part of most science and engineering curricula. However, most texts that are currently available to students still treat thermodynamics very much as it was presented in the 19th century, generally for historical rather than pedagogical reasons. Modern Thermodynamics takes a different approach, and deals with the relationship between irreversible processes and entropy.The relationship between irreversible processes and entropy is introduced early on, enabling the reader to benefit from seeing the relationship in such processes as heat conduction and chemical reactions. This text presents thermodynamics in a contemporary and exciting manner, with a wide range of applications, and many exercises and examples. Students are also encouraged to use computers through the provision of Mathematica code and Internet / WWW addresses where real data and additional information can be found.- A truly modern approach to thermodynamics, presenting it as a science of irreversible processes whilst avoiding dividing the subject into equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.- An extensive range of applications drawn from science and engineering, along with many real world examples, and exercises.- Written by two well-known authors, of whom Professor llya Prigogine was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research into thermodynamics.

El cálculo infinitesimal, desde su perspectiva lógico-matemática, tiene un doble aspecto: por un lado, se ha consolidado su carácter disciplinario en la formación de la sociedad del conocimiento; por otro, su desarrollo como disciplina cientifica ha desembocado en ambitos especializados de la ciencia y la ingenieria y se usa para resolver problemas para los cuales el algebra por si sola es insuficiente. El calculo se construye desde su base en el algebra, la trigonometria y la geometria analitica e incluye dos campos principales: el calculo diferencial y el calculo integral. Practicamente todos los desarrollos tecnicos modernos en la arquitectura, la aviacion, el transporte o la meteorologia hacen uso del calculo. Esta edicion se caracteriza por estar plenamente orientada al estudiante que va a comenzar sus estudios universitarios; con este afan, se han evitado el exceso de demostraciones de teoremas y se incluyen ejercicios que ilustran aplicaciones practicas de fisica e ingenieria. Tan solo se presuponen del estudiante conocimientos de algebra, trigonometria y calculo a nivel del bachillerato. Asimismo, y como novedad, se ha hecho uso de Maxima, una herramienta libre y gratuita de algebra computacional, para explorar el calculo desde otra perspectiva.
