This third edition of the book has been completely re-written, providing a wider scope and enhanced coverage. It covers the general principles of the natural occurrence, pollution sources, chemical analysis, soil chemical behaviour and soil-plant-animal relationships of heavy metals and metalloids, followed by a detailed coverage of 21 individual elements, including: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gold, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, tin, tungsten, uranium, vanadium and zinc. The book is highly relevant for those involved in environmental science, soil science, geochemistry, agronomy, environmental health, and environmental engineering, including specialists responsible for the management and clean-up of contaminated land.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Roger A. Horn, Charles R. Johnson | Size: 4 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2013 | pages: 662 | ISBN: 0521839408, 9780521839402
Linear algebra and matrix theory are fundamental tools in mathematical and physical science, as well as fertile fields for research. This new edition of the acclaimed text presents results of both classic and recent matrix analysis using canonical forms as a unifying theme, and demonstrates their importance in a variety of applications. The authors have thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded on the first edition. The book opens with an extended summary of useful concepts and facts and includes numerous new topics and features, such as: - New sections on the singular value and CS decompositions - New applications of the Jordan canonical form - A new section on the Weyr canonical form - Expanded treatments of inverse problems and of block matrices - A central role for the Von Neumann trace theorem - A new appendix with a modern list of canonical forms for a pair of Hermitian matrices and for a symmetric-skew symmetric pair - Expanded index with more than 3,500 entries for easy reference - More than 1,100 problems and exercises, many with hints, to reinforce understanding and develop auxiliary themes such as finite-dimensional quantum systems, the compound and adjugate matrices, and the Loewner ellipsoid - A new appendix provides a collection of problem-solving hints.

Author(s)/Editor(s): L.Bers | Size: 7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: American Mathematical Society | pages: 361
This book consists of two main parts. The first part, ""Hyperbolic and Parabolic Equations"", written by F. John, contains a well-chosen assortment of material intended to give an understanding of some problems and techniques involving hyperbolic and parabolic equations. The emphasis is on illustrating the subject without attempting to survey it. The point of view is classical, and this serves well in furnishing insight into the subject; it also makes it possible for the lectures to be read by someone familiar with only the fundamentals of real and complex analysis.The second part, ""Elliptic Equations"", written by L. Bers and M. Schechter, contains a very readable account of the results and methods of the theory of linear elliptic equations, including the maximum principle, Hilbert-space methods, and potential-theoretic methods. It also contains a brief discussion of some quasi-linear elliptic equations. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in partial differential equations.

Understand how Tensile Surface Structures are designed with the Structural Principles
This course is about Tensile Surface Structures. The lectures are prepared so that they are understood by participants at all levels, from students to professionals in the field of architecture, engineering, drafting, and design. We expect students to have a basic understanding of the terms in architecture or engineering, if not the course will help you anyway since the course is made as a basic introduction to Structural Principles in Tensile Surface Structures. We include pictures and examples that will clarify the basics of Structural Principles in Tensile Surface Structures. We will take a look at Forms in Nature, Minimal Surfaces, Soap Films, Basic Forms and Structural Principles for Tensile Surface Structures.
