TEATRO.

A partir de una sencilla metáfora espacial y arquitectónica (la ciencia como un templo, con sus distintos niveles, alas, puertas, pasillos y moradores), los autores explican en qué consiste el conocimiento científico. Matemáticas, química, física, biología, partículas elementales, cosmología, complejidad, la energía, el cerebro humano, la consciencia y la creatividad, la evolución humana: todos los grandes aspectos de la ciencia, todas las secciones y los corredores del Templo que conocemos a día de hoy, se muestran con gran claridad a los no iniciados.
El talento combinado de dos científicos de talla mundial y la preciosa aportación del mayor divulgador de la ciencia en nuestro país convergen en un libro de agradable e instructiva lectura, repleto de fotografías y de ilustraciones originales, que sacia la curiosidad sobre las preguntas que nos formulamos y señala cuáles son las cuestiones que todavía están pendientes de respuesta. Dos mil quinientos años de saber científico, incluidos los descubrimientos más recientes, puestos al alcance de todos los lectores.

This convenient guide enables non-chemist professionals and students to apply environmental chemistry to remediation and control projects and to understand and solve environmental chemistry problems. Self-contained chapters provide access to key data tables that are ordinarily scattered in the literature and offer step-by-step details to worked examples drawn from real world applications. This second edition features new material on radioisotopes, inorganic/organic contaminants, and environmental forensics.  Expanded chapters include metals, light nonaqueous phase liquids, dense nonaqueous phase liquids, and biodegradation.

While the integration ability of modern semiconductor technology presents opportunities, issues in power consumption, reliability, and form-factor present challenges. This book explores systems and chips that provide new approaches to designing future computing and communication systems. It presents the TRIPS processor architecture and microarchitecture, the CELL processor from IBM STI, and the continuation based Fuce multi-threading processor. Extended analog computers, Ravenscar, hardware-implemented run-time kernel with delay queues, formal state models and their simulations, and example graphics applications that require enormous computing power complete the coverage.

Se presentan aquí, por primera vez en un solo volumen, los Diarios de Eugène Ionesco (1909 [1912]- 1994); Diario en migajas (1967) y Presente pasado, pasado presente (1968) aglutinan los más íntimos y añorados re4cuerdos de su infancia, edad de oro, truncada a los trece años por un suceso que se nos revelará, en escorzo, a lo largo de estas páginas

Few texts cover the full gamut of combustion engineering. Applied Combustion fills this gap, providing readers with an expanded engineering introduction to principles of applied thermochemical energy conversion, as well as numerous instances of practical application to a variety of current chemical heat engines and waste destruction systems. Early chapters cover fundamentals of combustion, formulated from general principles of chemistry, physics, and thermodynamics. The latter power chapters apply those fundamentals to fuel systems. While providing an excellent text for students, professionals in the field will find that its up-to-date examples and data make it an invaluable reference tool.

Building on the previous editions that have served as standard textbooks and references for more than twenty-five years, Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition describes the randomization test theory, clarifies the hypotheses being tested, and discusses the role of random assignment. This edition also features updated material on N-of-1 randomization tests and includes an accompanying CD-ROM with up-to-date randomization test programs and FORTRAN codes. It contains end-of-chapter exercises and numerous new examples. The authors provide a website with solutions to the exercises and updates about new releases of RT4Win.

Written by renowned scientists in the field, Powders and Fibers: Interfacial Science and Applications offers guidance for selecting the most appropriate characterization methods for analyzing powders and fibers. Using these techniques, the authors explore the behavior of solid-gas, solid-rubber, solid-solid, solid-liquid, and biological interfaces. They consider the potential for enhancing performance and highlight related applications. A case study demonstrates the use of computer simulations for modeling glass surfaces. Topics also include biocompatibility, nanoparticles and nanocomposites, rheological properties, biochips, and other biomedical applications.
