Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Maintaining the substance that made Introduction to the Thermodynamic of Materials a perennial best seller for decades this Sixth Edition is updated to reflect the broadening field of materials science and engineering. The new edition is reorganized into three major sections to align the book for practical coursework with the first (Thermodynamic Principles) and second (Phase Equilibria) sections aimed at use in a one semester undergraduate course. The third section (Reactions and Transformations) can be used in other courses of the curriculum that deal with oxidation energy and phase transformations. The book is updated to include the role of work terms other than PV work (e. g. magnetic work) along with their attendant aspects of entropy Maxwell equations and the role of such applied fields on phase diagrams. There is also an increased emphasis on the thermodynamics of phase transformations and the Sixth Edition features an entirely new chapter 15 that links specific thermodynamic applications to the study of phase transformations. The book also features more than 50 new end of chapter problems and more than 50 new figures. | Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning describes how coral reefs have alternately flourished and declined over the last 50 years and the dynamics of these changes. The study is based on recordings at 30 different locations along the Sudanese coast visited by the author between 1971 and 1973. Beyond the Red Sea's desert shores lie some of the richest and most diverse coral reefs on our planet. Over a thousand species of reef fishes matched by a similar abundance of living corals creating habitats scientists were only just beginning to understand. The complexity of the inter-relations was truly mesmerizing. A single intervention such as removal of a key species could cause the whole community to collapse. Healthy corals were transformed into green weed-smothered reefs accompanied by the loss of both corals and fish. Based on the author’s observations of how knowledge and perspectives have changed over the last 50 years this book highlights lessons learned from historical records that may help maintain and reestablish coral reefs in the years to come. Topics covered include: CORAL REEF FISH Fish surveys CORAL REEF PROFILES Coral growth rates Coral distribution Corals on 'Cousteau garage' CORAL THREATS Climate change Coral bleaching Coral diseases Coral sponges Terpios hoshinota Coral predators Coral urchins CORAL – ALGAE CORAL RESEARCH and more . | Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs Fifty Years of Learning

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point and these statistics are rising. Furthermore for those who form a stone the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore the need for effective minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise a working knowledge of the surgical treatments instrumentation and outcomes is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management the authors provide a complete guide to the management of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone disease in any capacity whether surgically or medically acutely or long-term. | Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay

Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay

San Francisco Bay is a shallow estuary surrounded by a large population center. The forces that built it began with plate tectonics and involved the collision of the Pacific and North American plates and the subduction of the Juan de Fuka plate. Changes in the climate resulting from the last ice age yielded lower and then higher sea levels. Human activity influenced the Bay. Gold mining during the California gold rush sent masses of slit into the Bay. Humans have also built several major cities and filled significant parts of the Bay. This book describes the natural history and evolution of the SF Bay Area over the last 50 million years through the present and into the future. Key selling features: Summarizes a complex geological geographical and ecological history Reviews how the San Francisco Bay has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles and various drivers of Bay ecosystem function Includes the role of humans - both first peoples and modern populations - on the Bay Explores San Francisco Bay as an example of general bay ecolgical and environmental issues | Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay
