1. Microhydrodynamics and Complex Fluids

   By Dominique Barthès-Biesel

   A self-contained textbook, Microhydrodynamics and Complex Fluids deals with the main phenomena that occur in slow, inertialess viscous flows often encountered in various industrial, biophysical and natural processes. It examines a wide range of situations, from flows in thin films, porous media and...

2. Applied Bohmian Mechanics

   From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

   Edited by Xavier Oriols Pladevall, Jordi Mompart

   Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However, the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. It was a zigzagging route full of personal disputes where scientists were forced to abandon well-established...

3. Calcium Orthophosphates

   Applications in Nature, Biology, and Medicine

   By Sergey V. Dorozhkin

   Due to a great chemical similarity with the biological calcified tissues, many calcium orthophosphates possess remarkable biocompatibility and bioactivity. Materials scientists use this property extensively to construct artificial bone grafts that are either entirely made of or only surface-coated...

6. Compound Semiconductor Radiation Detectors

   By Alan Owens

   Series: Series in Sensors

   Although elemental semiconductors such as silicon and germanium are standard for energy dispersive spectroscopy in the laboratory, their use for an increasing range of applications is becoming marginalized by their physical limitations, namely the need for ancillary cooling, their modest stopping...
