This book is a unique supplement to contemporary scientific literature on rock blasting technology. It encapsulates theoretical and practical aspects of drilling and blasting techniques used in both surface and subterranean excavations connected with civil as well as mining activities. Case studies are presented to illustrate correlations between theoretical calculations and empirical findings. It also summarizes the results of research carried out by the Blasting Department of the Central Mining Research Institute since its inception in the year 1970. It contains fifteen extensive chapters c

Straddling the traditional disciplines of nuclear and particle physics, hadron physics is a vital and extremely active research area, as evidenced by a 2004 Nobel prize and new research facilities, such as that scheduled to open at CERN. Scientifically it is of vital importance in extrapolating our knowledge of quark-gluon physics at the sub-nucleon level to provide a wider perspective of strongly interacting hadrons, which make up the vast bulk of known matter in the Universe.Through detailed, pedagogical chapters contributed by key international experts, Hadron Physics maps out our contempor

Neurological Therapeutics is a 2-volume reference text that covers all aspects of pharmaceutical and interventional therapy for neurological diseases and disorders. Whereas many texts have superficially covered treatments, this book examines what therapies are currently available, how effective they are, and what results one can expect. All the contributors are well-known in their subspecialties and the 271 chapters are based on personal experience. John Noseworthy has selected the world’s leading neurologists as section editors, and they in turn have chosen leaders from all the neurolo
