ALL IN ONE LINK

A magnificent work from an author who is, himself, a master of the mind. — Raymond D. Fowler, Ph.D. (Past President and former CEO of the American Psychological Association)
Sweeping in scope and truly impressive in its scholarship, Millon’s text traces historical developments and identifies the thinkers and scientists who from antiquity to the present time have shaped contemporary understanding of how the mind works. This captivating and informative volume will be appreciated and valued by all readers interested in the history of ideas. —Irving B. Weiner, Ph.D. (University of South Florida)
Wide ranging, cohesive and imminently readable, Theodore Millon’s Masters of the Mind is a tour de force from one of the world’s leading psychologists....a major touchstone for all those interested in these fascinating stories of mental disorders and the search for systems to understand and treat [them]. —Jeffrey J. Magnavita, Ph.D. (Connecticut Center for Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy)
A fascinating, informative, comprehensive, broad-minded, brilliant and perceptive tour of the universe of views of mental function and dysfunction, this book helps the reader understand contributions from nearly every conceivably relevant discipline throughout history. Himself, a long time advocate and practitioner of creative and integrative theory supported by data (as well as measurement techniques designed to generate such data), Millon provides enlightening commentary at the end of each chapter as well as in an epilogue at the end of the book. After reviewing a breathtaking array of perspectives, he offers a simple but profound suggestion for how to put it together. "Intrinsic unity cannot be invented.. by arbitrary efforts to synthesize disparate and disjunctive theoretical schemas... The natural sythesis.. inheres within patients themselves." In this wisdom, he urges all of us - clinicians, theorists and researchers alike – to stay close to the data offered ! by real persons- whole human beings seen in the broad array of contexts marked by Millon in this amazing and wonderful book I shall ask that all of my trainees read and re-read it, whether they are still in professional schools, or returning for continuing education. — Lorna Smith Benjamin, Ph.D.(University of Utah)

A lot of what is marketed to the public as psychology is actually quite unscientific. Attempting to counteract the tide of misinformation about what psychology really is, Popular Psychology is a concise guide for anyone seeking to understand the true scientific nature of psychology. Self-help books; TV specials; articles in the popular press all serve to obscure the true intellectual and scientific premises on which the 'field of psychology is based. The serious work of the great psychological thinkers and schools of psychological thought is lost to the average person. School and college students as well as the interested general reader will want to consult this work to understand what is good in the popular presentation of psychology and what is unworthy of serious attention.

Book Description
The most trivial slips of the tongue or pen, Freud believed, can reveal our secret ambitions, worries, and fantasies. The Psychopathology of Everyday Life ranks among his most enjoyable works. Starting with the story of how he once forgot the name of an Italian painter-and how a young acquaintance mangled a quotation from Virgil through fears that his girlfriend might be pregnant-it brings together a treasure trove of muddled memories, inadvertent actions, and verbal tangles. Amusing, moving, and deeply revealing of the repressed, hypocritical Viennese society of his day, Freud's dazzling interpretations provide the perfect introduction to psychoanalytic thinking in action. --via Amazon.com
Freudian slip
The Freudian slip is named after Sigmund Freud, who described the phenomena he called faulty action (Fehlleistung or parapraxis) in his 1901 book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life.
The Freudian slip is an error in human action, speech or memory that is caused by the unconscious mind. The error often appears to the observer as being casual, bizarre and nonsensical.
Although it is certainly true that not all errors done by humans can be explained as Freudian slips, such behavior is often analyzed on the basis that they may be. "Sometimes the truth has a way of coming out in the most embarrassing and unexpected ways." Although this may be true in many cases, such analysis should certainly be treated with skepticism. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freudian_slip [Sept 2005]

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This latest from Ohio State University psychology professor Reiss (Who Am I?) takes on a good majority of working therapists and academics by positing that "values, not unconscious psychodynamics, drive the human psyche." With vigorous research, analysis and anecdotal evidence, Reiss argues convincingly that by addressing ordinary personal problems with "constructs developed to study mental illnesses," the community has pathologized normal human personality traits and behaviors: "orderliness is a mild form of Obsessive-Compulsive disorder; unhappiness is a mild form of depression." Reiss's model, "motivation analysis," sees problems as the result of frustrated goals or values in the here and now, rather than hidden reserves of anxiety or anger. One's mix of goals and values can be determined and analyzed using the Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP), based on what Reiss argues is the most complete taxonomy of personality yet developed. Extensive empirical research has led Reiss to identify sixteen basic desires (including acceptance, curiosity, family, power and tranquility) that, together, provide an accurate personality portrait. Reiss makes an accessible case for his approach's superior ability to understand problems and predict behavior. It should provide food for thought for anyone in the mental health community, as well as those who feel they've been underserved or misunderstood by traditional psychotherapy.

Review
"...In a time when children, and even household pets, swallow Prozac, Reiss revives a neglected diagnosis for worrywarts, wallflowers, daydreamers, pessimists, and eccentrics alike: normal. He broadens normality by outlining how abnormal behaviors can arise when life motives are obstructed or personal values contradicted. Reiss lists how various combinations of 16 basic desires lead to dilemmas that eventually bring people to counseling. He offers a way to manage personal problems, without cracking the medicine cabinet or the skeleton closet."
--Science News

"...this book advances a scientific theory of psychological needs, values and personality traits. Reiss' research shows how the motivational spectrum produces different personality traits and values, and how that correlates to the way we handle/deal our personal relationships. "
--Lenore Skomal, divorce360.com

"The Normal Personality: A New Way of Thinking About People, Steven Reiss (Cambridge University Press): Good news: You're normal. Despite the fact that every lesbian you know is on Prozac or in therapy, Reiss insists most of us aren't crazy. Instead, he contends that an over reliance on Freudian analysis led modern psychopathology to evaluate normal personal problems using constructs developed from studies of mental illness. Rather than unconscious mental forces originating in childhood, Reiss points to 16 basic human desires lead that lead to personal issues. Not immune from the natural human intolerance of people expressing significantly different values; Reiss argues, psychologists and psychiatrists often confuse individuality with abnormality and over-diagnose disorders."
--Curve Magazine

"...it offers a new view of the "normal" personality, one firmly ensconced in the study of values and motivations...an intriguing account of why human conflict, particularly the romantic variety, occurs with such regularity...Recommended..."

Impossibility: The Limits of Science and the Science of Limits

Perhaps it's a harbinger of the end of science that so much attention is being paid to the impossible. In Impossibility, astronomer John D. Barrow outlines a maturation pattern for areas of deep human inquiry that includes an adolescence of exciting discoveries, new formulas, and unusual predictions. As science has matured, our confidence in it has grown. We expect that science has answers, that its predictive powers are mostly accurate. But what happens when the science gets old? Oddly enough, it seems to have started trying to find the end of its own usefulness--its formulas "predict that there are things which they cannot predict, observations which cannot be made, statements whose truth they can neither affirm nor deny."
Barrow's book is a fairly tough read, delving into topics as varied as theology, art, mathematics, and cosmology in its quest to define impossibility. But for those who have noticed that, "Scientists seem no longer content merely to describe what they have done or what Nature is like; they are keen to tell their audience what their discoveries mean for an ever-widening range of deep philosophical questions," Impossibility is an intriguing look at the evolution of our thoughts on knowing everything. Without limits, there would be no science, and though our imaginations may roam freely through the realms of impossibility, we may find in the end that "what cannot be known is more revealing than what can." --Therese Littleton --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
...a thoughtful, careful and insightful book that is presented in a skillfully woven narrative, guiding the reader gently through the thicket of logic, physics, and mathematics. I highly recommend it, especially if you like dizzying, mind-bending ideas that will make your head swim. If you are fascinated, as I am, by the limits of knowledge, you will be richly rewarded by this book. -- New Scientist, Michio Kaku
Barrow, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Sussex, has written a very engaging and even playful book. He attempts to show how certain "laws" governing "Nature" help us to separate the possible from the impossible....Barrow's book enjoyable, informative, and thought provoking. -- Paul Copan, Philosophy and Theology --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

John Barrow revisits one of the hottest topics in all of science, illuminating the modern quest to unlock the secrets of the universe.
Published in 1991, John Barrow's Theories of Everything was hailed as "a mind-boggling intellectual adventure" by Publishers Weekly and as "an exhilarating journey...important, engaging, and highly literate" by New Scientist . Now, in New Theories of Everything , Barrow completely updates his classic account of one of the hottest fields in all of science--the search for a cosmic key that will unlock the secrets of the Universe. Will we ever discover a single scientific theory of everything? How can one theory ever explain a world full of chaos and complexity?
In this stimulating volume, Barrow sheds light on these questions as he presents the reader with the very latest ideas and predictions, ranging from the speculations of Stephen Wolfram about the world as a computer program to recent developments in string theory and M theory, new varieties of complexity, new ideas about the nature of mathematics, and much more. He reveals that the field has changed dramatically. Fifteen years ago, scientists sought a single theory uniquely specifying the constants and forces of nature, but today they envision a vast landscape of different logically possible laws and constants in many dimensions, of which our own world is but a tiny facet of a higher dimensional reality. Equally important, Barrow reflects on the philosophical and cultural consequences of those remarkable new ideas, highlighting their implications for our own place in the universe.
The Theory of Everything has in recent years become the focus of some of the most exciting and imaginative thinking in science. Now fully revised, New Theories of Everything brings the story of this exhilarating quest completely up to date.
Kirkus Reviews
Can any one theory account for everything in the universe? Barrow (Mathematics/Cambridge; The Infinite Book, 2005, etc.) gets right down to fundamental issues in addressing this central question in modern science. He breaks his subject into eight key areas: laws of Nature, initial conditions, forces and particles, constants, broken symmetries, organizing principles, selection biases and categories of thought. Each of these is given a rigorous examination. For example, in discussing laws of nature, Barrow attempts to look at all possible ways the universe, scientific laws and God might interact, including the possibility that any or all of the three don't exist at all. One key question is whether our math is adequate to describe the deepest level of reality, especially in view of Kurt Godel's incompleteness theorem, which holds that every mathematical system entails theorems that cannot be proved. The author suggests that Godel's insight, while true of abstract math, doesn't hold for applied math of the sort used in the sciences. The question of whether or not time and space themselves predate the universe gets a careful look, though not a definitive answer. That, of course, is the problem: There are no definitive answers as yet, only more or less promising approaches to the questions. Among the difficulties is the fact that the universe we can observe is only a fraction of what is believed to exist, and we can't be certain that the observable portion is typical. (Of course, to play the game at all, we need to assume so.) At the end, Barrow concedes that no theory can really account for everything; opinions, emotions and so forth are undeniably realm yet beyond all computation. Yet thisphilosophic recognition is not a denial of the scientific enterprise, but a recognition that the universe, at bottom, is subtler than our tools for analyzing it. A fascinating journey.

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB - Stephen Westland & Caterina Ripamonti


Computational Mathematics: Models, Methods, and Analysis with MATLAB and MPI

From the Publisher
Computational Mathematics: Models, Methods, and Analysis with MATLAB and MPI explores and illustrates this process. Each section of the first six chapters is motivated by a specific application. The author applies a model, selects a numerical method, implements computer simulations, and assesses the ensuing results. These chapters include an abundance of MATLAB code. By studying the code instead of using it as a "black box, " you take the first step toward more sophisticated numerical modeling. The last four chapters focus on multiprocessing algorithms implemented using message passing interface (MPI). These chapters include Fortran 9x codes that illustrate the basic MPI subroutines and revisit the applications of the previous chapters from a parallel implementation perspective. This book is not just about math, not just about computing, and not just about applications, but about all three--in other words, computational science. Whether used as an undergraduate textbook, for self-study, or for reference, it builds the foundation you need to make numerical modeling and simulation integral parts of your investigational toolbox.

Vol. 1.


The Finite Element Method - The Basis
Volume 1 is an essential text for people trying to acquaint themselves with the subject and requiring an up to date [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]presentation[/color][/color] of theory and possibilities. It deals strictly with linear problems and the matter presented allows engineers and scientists with different [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]backgrounds[/color][/color] to become acquainted with the subject. The mathematics is kept at a fairly simple level to cover a wide readership. The book should also be useful to students of mathematics albeit they might be used to a different notation than that used in this text.
The arrangement of Vol.1 differs some what from that of Vol.1 in the fourth edition. A rearrangement of text was made to include the general chapter dealing the concepts of mathematical formulations early in the book Ch.3. This allows the reader to become acquainted rapidly with the mathematical background and where the finite element method fits into the general scheme of numerical approximation.
In addition several chapters dealing with dynamics and transient phenomena have been moved from Vol.2 to this volume. These have been updated and include various approximation procedures recently used e.g. Discontinuous Galerkin.
Though many of the chapters have not been substantially altered, they have been updated to include most recent references and thinking. However many new ideas and subjects are presented in this volume. In particular the following developments should be noted.
1 The recently developed procedures of recovery for increasing the accuracy of the results are presented. These lead naturally to the most efficient procedures of error estimation and adaptivity. The two chapters 14 and 15 present this subject in a thoroughly up to date manner and here all the recent procedures have been made available.
2 The subject of mixed methods Ch.11 has been elaborated further from the fourth edition and much attention has been given to recent developments of hybrid methods including even such methods as Discontinuous Galerkin method Ch.13. Attention has been given to the so-called "enhanced strain" methods that today are widely used in various [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]applications[/color][/color] of solid mechanics.
3 The subject of incompressible behaviour is given special attention and a whole chapter Ch.12 is devoted to it. Here recent work on various procedures of stabilisation is presented in comparative manner and readers can acquaint themselves with the present day developments in this area. Thus chapters 11,12 and 13 have been very substantially rewritten.
4 In the last decade, much progress has been achieved in the development of the so called meshless element free methods methods. Here so called partition of unity procedures have allowed a considerable expansion of FEM possibilities. Chapter 16 presents the present state of the art and here the reader will find many of the concepts that are today at the "[COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]sharp[/color][/color] end" of research. These are given in an assessable manner that may guide the developments in the early part of the next millennium.
One important development that is included in the fifth edition is the omission of detailed program listings that have been characteristics of all previous editions. The reason for this is fairly rapid development of the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]computer [COLOR=blue! important]software[/color][/color][/color] and the need for providing updates that can eliminate errors and show the most recent development. We present for each volume a full program list and [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]computer[/color][/color] procedures on this webpage.

Vol. 2. The Finite Element Method - Solid Mechanics

Volume 2 is partially rewritten and some new chapters particularly in the area of large deformation and strain are incorporated. In particular we start this volume with the description of non-linear [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]methodologies[/color][/color] of solution for the problem of non-linear material behaviour and introduce right in the beginning the concepts necessary for description of various constitutive laws ranging from viscoelasticity through plasticity to creep.
The chapters dealing with shell and plate formulation which were initially the subject of the finite element attack are brought up to date by recent developments in which so called linked interpolations are used. We mentioned those in the fourth edition but since its publication the development has been rapid and the elements presented here are probably among those which are the best. For this reason we eliminated some of the descriptive matter for the very simple elements previously used in the plate theory and concentrate attention on recent development of both thick and thin approximations for plates, shells etc.
A largely rewritten series of chapters deal with non-linear geometry, stability and buckling of structures as well as large deformation theory necessary for impact studies. Here a simple introduction to large deformation behaviour is given and the reader can thus avoid the complex introduction usually belonging to advanced texts of mechanics. Most of the presentation of this chapter and indeed others of this book uses indicial notation and the generalised notion of strain and stress. Several of the chapters in the new Vol.2 essentially repeat the topics previously dealt with in Vol.2 of the fourth edition that remain still valid today. These include such things as finite strip methods etc.

Vol. 3. The Finite Element Method - Fluid Dynamics

This volume as the title indicates is directed entirely at those whose main interest is in the [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]fluid [COLOR=blue! important]mechanics[/color][/color][/color] area. Here however a very wide application field is covered ranging from incompressible slow viscous flow to [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]high-speed[/color][/color] supersonic flows. Such specialised applications as shallow water flow, ocean waves and metal or plastic forming are also included in this text as specific examples.
What is entirely novel in this text is the manner of presentation and the introduction of a unified algorithm, which is applicable to all the fields of study in the fluid mechanics area. This algorithm which has been developed only a few years ago has now superseded in view of the authors many older ones and provides a unique and simple approach to most problems. The new algorithm is based on the so-called Characteristic Galerkin method of dealing with convection dominated problems. Thus with suitable splitting the full fluid mechanics equations can be divided into two parts. The first of these dealing with a set of scalar [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]transport[/color][/color] is convection dominated and uses the Characteristic Galerkin process. The second presents a self-adjoint problem in terms of pressure for which Galerkin procedures can be directly applied. Although some of the concepts have been given in the fourth edition, most of the presentation is new and here very little remains from the previous edition. We believe Vol.3 is the one from which many can learn the basic concepts of computational fluid dynamics.
We introduce here methodologies capable of dealing with supersonic and hypersonic behaviours at the same time showing that the same formulation applies well to the study of shallow water tidal phenomena being able to predict such things as the `bore' that occurs in many highly tidal areas.
The new algorithm stabilises both the convective part of the equations and the incompressible phenomena.
Many new topics are included and in particular application to the study of wave resistance of ships and other free surface phenomena can now be modelled using the new algorithm fairly simply. Also in the same chapter, we deal with buoyancy phenomena by which various convection problems can be solved. These are of importance in [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]heat [COLOR=blue! important]transfer[/color][/color][/color] engineering as well as in environmental studies.

Robert Ludlum May 25, 1927 New York City – March 12, 2001 Naples, Florida was an American author of 25 thriller novels. There are more than 290 million copies of his books in print, and they have been translated into 32 languages. Ludlum also published books under the pseudonyms Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd.[1]
Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, Covert One: The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series. The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008, although the story lines depart significantly from the source material.
Ludlum died in 2001 of a subdural hematoma.

MATLAB Simulations for Radar Systems Design - Bassem R. Mahafza & Atef Z. Elsherbeni



Product Description
Simulation is integral to the successful design of modern radar systems, and there is arguably no better software for this purpose than MATLAB. But software and the ability to use it does not guarantee success. One must also:ÖUnderstand radar operations and design philosophyÖKnow how to select the radar parameters to meet the design requirementsÖBe able to perform detailed trade-off analysis in the context of radar sizing, modes of operation, frequency selection, waveforms, and signal processingÖDevelop loss and error budgets associated with the design MATLAB Simulations for Radar Systems Design teaches all of this and provides the M-files and hands-on simulation experience needed to design and analyze radar systems. Part I forms a comprehensive description of radar systems, their analysis, and the design process. The authors' unique approach involves a design case study introduced in Chapter 1 and followed throughout the text. As the treatment progresses, the complexity increases and the case study requirements are adjusted accordingly. Part II presents a series of chapters-some authored by other experts in the field-on specialized radar topics important to a full understanding of radar systems design and analysis. A comprehensive set of MATLAB programs and functions support both parts of the book and are available for download from the CRC Press Web site.

Numerical Methods in Engineering with MATLAB - Jaan Kiusalaas

Numerical Methods in Finance & Economics A MATLAB based Introduction - Paolo Brandimarte

This book presents a state-of-the-art introduction to the powerful mathematical and statistical tools used in the field of finance. The use of mathematical models and numerical techniques is a practice employed by a growing number of applied mathematicians working on applications in finance. Reflecting this development, "Numerical Methods in Finance and Economics: A MATLAB-Based Introduction, Second Edition" bridges the gap between financial theory and computational practice while showing readers how to utilize MATLAB - the powerful numerical computing environment - for financial applications. The author provides an essential foundation in finance and numerical analysis in addition to background material for students from both engineering and economics perspectives. A wide range of topics is covered, including standard numerical analysis methods, Monte Carlo methods to simulate systems affected by significant uncertainty, and optimization methods to find an optimal set of decisions.Among this book's most outstanding features is the integration of MATLAB, which helps students and practitioners solve relevant problems in finance, such as portfolio management and derivatives pricing.
This tutorial is useful in connecting theory with practice in the application of classical numerical methods and advanced methods, while illustrating underlying algorithmic concepts in concrete terms.Newly featured in the Second Edition include: in-depth treatment of Monte Carlo methods with due attention paid to variance reduction strategies; new appendix on AMPL in order to better illustrate the optimization models in Chapters 11 and 12; new chapter on binomial and trinomial lattices; additional treatment of partial differential equations with two space dimensions; expanded treatment within the chapter on financial theory to provide a more thorough background for engineers not familiar with finance; and, new coverage of advanced optimization methods and applications later in the text."Numerical Methods in Finance and Economics: A MATLAB-Based Introduction, Second Edition" presents basic treatments and more specialized literature, and it also uses algebraic languages, such as AMPL, to connect the pencil-and-paper statement of an optimization model with its solution by a software library.
Offering computational practice in both financial engineering and economics fields, this book equips practitioners with the necessary techniques to measure and manage risk.

This book provides a fundamental introduction to numerical analysis. This book covers numerous topics including Interpolation and Polynomial Approximation, Curve Fitting, Numerical Differentiation, Numerical Integration, and Numerical Optimization. For engineering and computer science fields.

From the Inside Flap
This book provides a fundamental introduction to numerical analysis suitable for undergraduate students in mathematics, computer science, physical sciences, and engineering. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with calculus and has taken a structured programming course. The text has enough material fitted modularly for either a single-term course or a year sequence. In short, the book contains enough material so that instructors will be able to select topics appropriate to their needs.
Students of various backgrounds should find numerical methods quite interesting and useful, and this is kept in mind throughout the book. Thus, there is a wide variety of examples and problems that help to sharpen one's skill in both the theory and practice of numerical analysis. Computer calculations are presented in the form of tables and graphs whenever possible so that the resulting numerical approximations are easier to visualize and interpret. MATLAB programs are the vehicle for presenting the underlying numerical algorithms.
Emphasis is placed on understanding why numerical methods work and their limitations. This is challenging and involves a balance between theory, error analysis, and readability. An error analysis for each method is presented in a fashion that is appropriate for the method at hand, yet does not turn off the reader. A mathematical derivation for each method is given that uses elementary results and builds the student's understanding of calculus. Computer assignments using MATLAB give students an opportunity to practice their skills at scientific programming.
Shorter numerical exercises can be carried out with a pocket calculator/computer, and the longer ones can be done using MATLAB subroutinie libraries. It is left for the instructor to guide the students regarding the pedagogical use of numerical computations. Each instructor can make assignments that are appropriate to the available computing resources. Experimentation with the MATLAB subroutine libraries is encouraged. These materials can be used to assist students in the completion of the numerical analysis component of computer laboratory exercises.
In this edition a section on Bezier curves has been added to the end of the chapter on curve fitting. Additionally, the chapter on numerical optimization has been expanded to include an introduction to both direct and derivative based methods for optimizing functions of one or more variables.An instructor's solution manual for the exercise sets is available from the publisher.
Previously, we took the attitude that any software program that students mastered would work fine. However, many students entering this course have yet to master a programming language (computer science students excepted). MATLAB has become the tool of nearly all engineers and applied mathematicians, and its newest versions have improved the programming aspects. So we think that students will have an easier and more productive time in this MATLAB version of our text.

Numerical Techniques for Chemical & Biological Engineers Using MATLAB - Elnashaie & Uhlig

All reactive chemical and biological processes are highly nonlinear allowing for multiple steady states. This book addresses the bifurcation characteristics of chemical and biological processes as the general case and treats systems with a unique steady state as special cases. It uses a system approach which is the most efficient for knowledge organization and transfer. The book develops mathematical models for many commercial processes utilizing the mass-, momentum-, and heat-balance equations coupled to the rates of the processes that take place within the boundaries of the system. The models are solved numerically through MATLAB codes with emphasis on the design and optimization of the chemical and biological industrial equipment and plants, such as single and batteries of CSTRs, porous and nonporous catalyst pellets and their effectiveness factors, tubular catalytic and noncatalytic reactors, fluidized bed catalytic reactors, coupled fluidized beds such as reactor-regenerator systems (industrial fluid catalytic cracking units), fluidized bed reformers for producing hydrogen or syngas, fermenters for fuel ethanol, simulation of the brain acetylcholine neurocycle, anaerobic digesters, co- and counter current absorption columns, and many more. The book also includes verification against industrial data. The book's CD contains nearly 100 MATLAB programs which are meant to teach the readers how to solve a variety of important chemical and biological engineering problems. The algorithms include solving transcendental and algebraic equations, with and without bifurcation; as well as initial and boundary value ordinary differential equations. Said Elnashaie is Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia. Frank Uhlig is Professor of Mathematics at Auburn University. Chadia Affane is a PH.D. candidate in Applied Mathematics at Auburn with a B.S.in Chemical Engineering. The active interaction of these authors has brought about this new and modern interdisciplinary book.

The use of a dielectric resonator as a resonant antenna was proposed in 1983. Due to the absence of metallic loss, the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is highly efficient when operated at millimetre wave frequencies. With the use of high dielectric constant material, the DRA can also be used as a small and low profile antenna when operated at low microwave frequencies. Low cost dielectric materials are now easily available commercially: encouraging more antenna engineers to design communication systems with DRAs.
Although DRAs are show promise in practical applications, surprisingly, there is no research summary in reference form on DRAs available. This book will update current literature and present new information on DRAs.
