The Quintessence of Irving Langmuir is the first full-length biography of Irving Langmuir, accompanying the book entitled The Collected Works of Irving Langmuir. The major focus of this book is on Langmuirâ€™s early life, including his family background and experiences that shaped his exceptional character and profession. This text also provides some of Langmuirâ€™s technical works and reviews of other scientists regarding his work. This particular topic is to present Langmuir as a scientist. This book will best serve those interested in Langmuirâ€™s life and contributions.

Current Problems in Particle Physics and Cosmology covers the proceedings of the workshop ""Current Problems in Particle Physics and Cosmology"", held in Ioannina, Greece on June 25-29, 1990. The book focuses on the reactions, problems, methodologies, and processes involved in particle physics and cosmology. The selection first offers information on the search for cosmic axions and experimental limits on light scalars/pseudoscalars and experimental tests of the standard model using the recently collected UA2 data. Topics include limits on the production of light scalar and pseudoscalar particles; measurement of SM parameters; transverse momenta distributions of the W and Z bosons; and mass spectroscopy with jets. The text then takes a look at heavy top quark, fermion mixings, and electroweak multi-particle-production at TeV energies. Discussions focus on third and second generation masses and mixing; neutrino sector; threshold energy; total inelastic multiparticle cross sections; and geometrical flavor interactions at very high energies. The publication examines supersymmetry breaking and dynamical determination of superstring parameters; four-dimensional strings and low energy predictions; and gravity from superstrings. The selection is a vital source of data for readers interested in particle physics and cosmology.

Progress in Reaction Kinetics discusses the main themes of chemical kinetics. It covers such topics as the reactions of halogen atoms and methylenes, mercury photosensitized reactions, anionic polymerization, cis trans-isomerisation, and protolytic reactions. The book provides a good illustration of the quantitative rate studies in biochemical systems. The experiments to determine the relative rate constants are shown and analyzed. The process of photosensitization involves absorption of light energy by a strongly absorbing substance. The methods to identify the reactions of carbonyl compounds, organic acids and esters are presented as well as the reactions of alcohols, ethers, and epoxides. The degree of reaction of some haem compounds is explained. A chapter of the book focuses on the kinetic treatment of processes that takes place in a series of steps. Such procedures are called consecutive processes. A sample of these is the rate-determining step approximation. The book will provide useful information to chemists, chemical engineers, students, and researchers.

Foundations of Electrical Engineering covers the fundamental ideas and basic laws in electrical engineering. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 24 chapters. Part I provides an overview of the Maxwell's equation and its significance in electrical engineering. Part II deals first with the determination of static and steady electric fields. This part also discusses the solution of Laplace's equation, boundary value problems, the concept of capacity, and magnetic field. Parts III and IV explore the laws of network analysis and synthesis, as well as the basic principles and applications of electromagnetic waves. These parts also describe the main features of classical electrodynamics and its application to problems of electrical engineering. Part V highlights the combined contributions of Maxwell's equations and the laws of mechanics in the subject field. Electrical engineers, and electrical engineering teachers and students will find this book invaluable.

Physics of Geomagnetic Phenomena, Volume II covers the advances in geomagnetism and the penetrations into the generation of geomagnetic field phenomena. This book is composed of three chapters and begins with a discussion on various types of phenomenal disturbances, such as ionospheric and geomagnetic disturbance, aurora, and storm. The next chapter describes certain aspects of space geomagnetism based on satellite and rocket observations. This chapter also examines the origins of geomagnetic disturbance phenomena. The last chapter surveys the problems connected with studies of geomagnetic storms and auroras, along with a hydromagnetic model of these phenomena. This book will be of value to physicists, theoreticians, and scientists in allied fields of geomagnetism.
