Product Description: Landscape architecture is a discipline which hovers between art and science, treading the fine line between invention and remembrance, ecology and abstraction, daring to be modern whilst mindful of tradition. This book attempts to grasp the state of affairs and develop new perspectives for landscape architecture...read more

Product Description: Micro process engineering is approaching both academia and industry. With the provision of micro devices and systems by commercial suppliers, one main barrier for using these units has been eliminated. This work focuses on processes rather than on devices: what is 'before' and 'behind' micro device fabrication - and gives a comprehensive and detailed overview on - A multi-faceted, hierarchic analysis of chemical micro process technology - Modelling and simulation of micro reactors - Liquid- and liquid/liquid-phase reactions - Gas/liquid reactions - Gas-phase reactions (heterogeneous catalysis) - Plants and applications like mixing, emulsion formation, heat exchange, organic and inorganic synthesis, multiphase and gas phase processes, periodic concentration and temperature cycling, catalyst screening, fine-chemical production, cosmetic, food, and others...read more

Product Description: Computational kinematics is an enthralling area of science with a rich spectrum of problems at the junction of mechanics, robotics, computer science, mathematics, and computer graphics. The present book collects up-to-date methods as presented during the Fifth International Workshop on Computational Kinematics (CK2009) held at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany...read more

Product Description: Schwarze Löcher sind die unglaublichsten Objekte der Astronomie. Ein Schwarzes Loch ist eine Masse, die so dicht gepackt ist, dass sie sogar das Licht am Entkommen hindert. Als Konsequenz ist ein Schwarzes Loch sowohl schwarz, als auch klein und damit schwer am Himmel zu entdecken...read more

Product Description: This multinational collaboration focuses on the cultural and ecological significance of the polar regions, which have recently proved controversial as nations compete for use of the terrain. This volume recruits media artists to propose communications systems and an eco-friendly research station for the Arctic...read more

Product Description: Kinematics is an exciting area of computational mechanics which plays a central role in a great variety of fields and industrial applications. Apart from research in pure kinematics, the field offers challenging problems of practical relevance that need to be solved in an interdisciplinary manner in order for new technologies to develop...read more
