In the last two decades it was demonstrated that, in addition to masses and charges, magnetic moments of nuclei are able to influence remarkably chemical reactions. This book presents the physical background (both theoretical and experimental) of the magnetic isotope effects on radical reactions in solutions. Special attention has been paid to the quantitative interpretation of the available experimental data. This book will be useful for physicists, chemists and biologists employing the isotope effect in their investigations as well as for those involved in isotope separation and isotope enri

The Zodiacal Light, that misty diffuse cone of light seen in the West after Sunset and the East before Sunrise, is a beautiful and intriguing phenomenon. Even though everyone can enjoy the sight from a suitably dark location, it is poorly understood, and has been the subject of relatively little research. Brian May began his research into the subject in 1970, and was finally awarded his PhD in 2007, after a hiatus of more than 30 years pursuing his other career as guitarist with his rock band Queen. This book is Brian’s thesis, and as such presents the results of his research for astronomers

This is the first completely new book for more than a decade specifically devoted to axial and radial turbine design and technology. It starts with the fundamental principles of turbine design, but also includes the latest developments and understanding, including the essential role that computer-based analysis plays today. The coverage includes the aerodynamic and structural analysis of turbine blades, together with the important topics of life prediction, design for durability, blade cooling, and exhaust diffuser design.

Ventilatoren werden in nahezu allen Bereichen der Technik zur Förderung von Luft und Gasen eingesetzt. Dieses Grundlagenwerk bietet nicht nur die aerodynamischen Berechnungsverfahren für Axial- und Radialventilatoren, sondern behandelt auch eine Fülle von Sonderproblemen bzw. liefert Ergebnisse aus praktischer Erfahrung. Hersteller und Anwender erhalten fundierte Anregungen für die aerodynamische Auslegung und konstruktive Gestaltung zur Verbesserung der Wirtschaftlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit von Ventilatoren.

It is necessary to estimate parameters by approximation and interpolation in many areas-from computer graphics to inverse methods to signal processing. Radial basis functions are modern, powerful tools which are being used more widely as the limitations of other methods become apparent. Martin Buhmann provides a complete analysis of radial basic functions from the theoretical and practical implementation viewpoints. He also includes a comprehensive bibliography.

Shape classification is a challenging image processing problem because shapes can occur in any position, at any orientation, and at any scale in an image. Shapes can also be obscured by gaps in their boundaries, occlusions, and noise. General shape classifiers often suffer from low precision, and specialized shape classifiers rely on specific features, like vertices or connected boundaries, making them difficult to generalize. The objective of this research is to design, implement, and test a general, high-precision two-dimensional shape classifier that is invariant to translation, scale, and
