This comprehensive reference describes recent developments in the science and engineering of finely dispersed particles and related systems. Experts provide an interdisciplinary approach to the elucidation of the heat, mass, and momentum transfer phenomena as well as electron transfer phenomena. The book explores hydrodynamic, electrodynamic, and thermodynamic instabilities that occur at interfaces. It also discusses the properties responsible for the existence of droplets, particles, and droplet-particle-film structures. Addressing numerous applications, the text covers homo-aggregate and hetero-aggregate finely dispersed systems on the mili-, micro-, nano-, and atto-scales.

PRACTICA-BOLSILLO

Written as a text for upper-level undergraduates, this book discusses computer architectural topics from the software perspective, from beginner to advanced levels. Although the design principles of computer architecture are well established, they are presented here in the context of new architectures. In particular, the author bases his presentation on the Pentium processor, allowing readers to acquire practical experience on a PC. Each chapter contains summary points, problems, and software exercises. The concepts covered in this text provide readers with a solid foundation for further studies on the design of computer hardware, software, and networks.
