A monograph examining recent progress in the field of inhomogeneous fluids, focusing on the theoretical - as well as experimental - techniques used. It presents the comprehensive theory of first-order phase transitions, including melting, and contains numerous figures, tables and display equations.;The contributors treat such subjects as: exact sum rules for inhomogenous fluids, explaining density functional and integral equation methods; exact solutions for two-dimensional homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasmas; current advances in the theory of interfacial electrochemistry; wetting experiments and the theory of wetting; freezing, with an emphasis on quantum systems and homogeneous nucleation in liquid-vapour and solid-liquid transitions; self-organizing liquids as well as kinetic phenomena in inhomogeneous fluids, using a modified Enskog theory.;Featuring over 1000 bibliographic citations, this volume is aimed at physical, surface, colloid and surfactant chemists; also physicists, electrochemists and graduate-level students in these disciplines.

. Firmado por la joven científica Giulia Enders, cuya conferencia La digestión es la cuestión fue un fenómeno en YouTube. . Las últimas investigaciones científicas han demostrado que el cuidado del intestino es la clave para la salud integral de las personas. . Una explicación sencilla y entretenida, muy agradable de leer y comprensible para todos.
Nueva edición revisada y aumentada El intestino, ese gran desconocido, la oveja negra entre los órganos, que quizá hasta ahora nos parecía más bien desagradable. Pero esta imagen, estimado lector, está a punto de cambiar. El sobrepeso, las depresiones y las alergias están estrechamente relacionados con una alteración del equilibrio de la flora intestinal. O dicho de otro modo: si queremos sentirnos bien en nuestro cuerpo, vivir más y ser más felices, debemos cuidar nuestro intestino. Así lo sugieren las investigaciones más recientes. En este libro, la joven científica Giulia Enders explica de forma entretenida cuán maravilloso y altamente complejo es el intestino. Es la clave del cuerpo y el alma, y nos aporta una perspectiva totalmente nueva. desde la puerta trasera de nuestro organismo. En esta nueva edición, la autora incluye un nuevo capítulo con los últimos hallazgos científicos sobre el mundo de los microbios.
