The book ist devoted to those equations with transformed argument which can be solved by different applications of the method of algebraic operators, developed by the author from 1960. Since this method is purely algebraic, it can be applied to particular classes of transformations of argument in various types of equations. Thus it is the only factor common to all parts of the book which deals with very different types of equations including functional-differential, integral and singular integral and functional equations, and control theory.

Clean, untanned interior with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Limited signs of light handling wear; faint dusty marks on outer page edges. Average, aged dust jacket, edges reinforced with tape, a number in pen in the upper spine corner of the front panel. -- This academic monograph presents a specialised algebraic method for solving equations where the unknown function has a transformed argument. It is a foundational text in the development of Algebraic Analysis, a field pioneered by the author to study linear operators without relying on traditional topology. The Algebraic Approach: The book introduces a purely algebraic theory of right invertible operators to solve differential, integral, and difference equations. Involutions and Shifts: A core focus is on equations involving involutions (operators that are their own inverse) and periodic shifts, which allow complex analytical problems to be reduced to simpler algebraic systems. It serves as a bridge between classical mathematical analysis and modern algebra, providing a theoretical framework for the study of linear functional equations. -- Danuta Przeworska-Rolewicz (1931-2012) was a distinguished Polish professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, widely regarded as the creator of modern Algebraic Analysis. Beyond her monumental scientific legacy, she is notable for her early life, having survived the brutal 1944 Warsaw Uprising as a child courier for the Polish Home Army, before becoming one of the most prominent female mathematicians in post-war Europe.…

Minor handling wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume presents a rigorous mathematical approach to metrology, treating measurement as a systematic process of information transformation. Piotrowski's work moves away from purely descriptive instrumentation to develop a formal operator model of the measurement chain. The text defines measurement as the mapping of an input physical quantity into an output signal through a series of deterministic and stochastic transformations. The book is structured around the functional analysis of measurement systems. It provides detailed coverage of static and dynamic characteristics, utilizing Laplace and Fourier transforms to describe signal transmission and transducer response. A central theme is the optimisation of the measurement signal, specifically addressing the transition from analog physical phenomena to digital data. Piotrowski provides an in-depth analysis of systematic and random errors, employing probability theory to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of complex measurement structures. Key topics include the classification of measuring signals, the influence of external noise and interference, and the mathematical modelling of sensors and transducers. By focusing on the system-operator approach, the text offers a unified framework applicable to various fields of engineering, from thermal and mechanical sensing to electronic data acquisition. This work serves as a foundational reference for researchers and post-graduate students in control engineering and experimental physics who require a high-level mathematical basis for designing and interpreting modern measurement systems.…

The book provides a rigorous mathematical foundation for understanding the mechanical behavior of the Earth's crust and mantle through the lens of continuum mechanics. Unlike standard geophysics textbooks, this work focuses on the theoretical physics required to model large-scale geological processes, such as tectonic plate movement, earthquake preparation, and the long-term deformation of the Earth's interior. Thematic Scope and Content: The monograph is structured to move from classical elasticity to more complex, modern theories of matter: - Classical Elasticity and Fluid Dynamics: Establishing the baseline for how solid rock and semi-viscous mantle materials respond to stress and strain. - Theory of Dislocations and Defects: A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the "dislocation theory" of earthquakes. It models faults not just as simple cracks, but as mathematical dislocations in a continuous medium. - Non-Classical Continua: The text explores advanced theories such as micropolar elasticity and magneto-elasticity, which account for the granular nature of rocks and the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on mechanical properties. - Thermodynamics of the Interior: Analyzing the heat flow and energy dissipation associated with the Earth's internal "engine." The work is highly mathematical, utilizing tensor calculus and differential geometry to describe the evolution of the Earth's physical state over time. It is intended for theoretical geophysicists and seismologists who require precise models for: - Pre-seismic stress accumulation; - The propagation of seismic waves in complex media; - The slow, "creeping" flow of the mantle (mantle convection).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Oversized cloth hardcover, xiii + 469 pages, NOT ex-library. Shipping weight over 1kg. Page edges affected by extensive age-spotting; erased pencil number on the rear endpaper. Else little wear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound; contents are not tanned. Dust jacket with two short tears, a bit of edgewear, faint shelfwear. -- This volume offers an integrated and scientifically rigorous examination of the Earth's dynamic evolution, concentrating on its internal structure, energy flow and tectonic behaviour from a geophysical and thermodynamic perspective. It begins with an updated overview of plate tectonics, reviewing the evolution of the theory from early continental drift models to the present consensus on lithospheric plate motion, spreading, collision and subduction. Through detailed paleomagnetic data and reconstructions, the authors trace the trajectories of continents across geological time, establishing a foundation for modelling crustal deformation and intraplate stresses. A major portion of the volume is dedicated to the structure and dynamics of the mantle, with emphasis on large-scale convection. Drawing on seismic tomography and gravity field analysis, the authors differentiate upper and lower mantle processes, discuss the layered nature of mantle convection and consider the implications of these flows for surface tectonics and thermal evolution. The existence of deep mantle plumes, the potential for whole-mantle versus layered convection and the mechanical coupling between lithosphere and asthenosphere are all examined with reference to observational datasets and numerical models. Another key theme is the stress field of the lithosphere. The book analyses stress using three independent approaches: theoretical modelling based on mechanical and thermal structure; inference from surface observables such as gravity and topography; and inversion of seismic moment tensors. These methodologies converge to reveal a complex picture of stress propagation from mantle convection to crustal deformation, highlighting the interconnection of deep processes with observable tectonic phenomena like rifting, subduction and orogenic compression. Thermodynamic principles are used to address irreversible processes such as mantle differentiation, core formation and secular cooling. The authors explore how non-equilibrium thermodynamics and entropy production models can be applied to long-term geological processes, particularly to explain self-organisation, internal ordering and the emergence of structured heterogeneities in the Earth's interior. Core-mantle interactions and the role of chemical stratification in the lower mantle are also addressed through both theoretical and empirical lenses. Later chapters return to the observational record, using paleomagnetic and geomagnetic data to track Earth's field reversals, secular variation and the geodynamo process. This links outer core dynamics to observable magnetic signatures, offering a valuable window into deep-Earth processes. The study also includes comparisons with other terrestrial bodies, such as the Moon and Mars, highlighting differences in thermal history, tectonic activity and interior evolution that inform our understanding of Earth's uniqueness in the solar system. Throughout, the volume maintains a focus on integrating geophysical, thermodynamic and geochemical data with advanced computational methods. Its broad scope makes it highly relevant for geoscientists working on mantle dynamics, tectonic modelling, planetary geology and Earth system science. Appendices provide detailed data on tectonic plate motion, stress tensors, gravity anomalies and heat flow, making the work a useful reference for both researchers and graduate students. The book synthesises decades of research to offer a coherent model of the Earth's long-term evolution, linking deep interior processes with surface dynamics and planetary context.…

Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Dust jacket with fraying to edges, a small area of damage on the spine. -- This monograph is a pioneering work that documents the early integration of computer science and organic chemistry. The book focuses on how "expert systems" can automate two of the most complex tasks in the lab: identifying unknown molecules and predicting chemical transformations. Core Subjects and Computational Focus: The book explores the application of early AI - specifically heuristic programming and knowledge-based systems - to solve problems that traditionally required human intuition and years of experience. Computer-Aided Structure Elucidation (CASE): A significant portion of the text is dedicated to systems that interpret instrumental data (such as NMR, IR, and Mass Spectrometry) to "deduce" the chemical structure of an unknown compound. Simulation of Organic Reactions: Hippe examines algorithms designed to simulate chemical reactions. This includes retrosynthetic analysis, where the computer works backward from a target molecule to identify the necessary starting materials and reaction steps. The SEAC Project: The book highlights the author's own significant contribution, the SEAC system (Structure Elucidation System), detailing its architecture, logic, and ability to handle "fuzzy" or incomplete chemical data. The text is organized to guide the reader from the logic of AI to its chemical execution: - Knowledge Representation: How to translate complex chemical rules and "molecular graphs" into a language a computer can process; - Search Strategies: Methods for navigating the "combinatorial explosion" of possible chemical structures and reaction paths; - Learning and Refinement: Early concepts of how chemical software can "learn" from successful or failed simulations to improve future accuracy. Historical Significance: While published in 1991, Hippe's work is highly regarded as a foundation for modern Cheminformatics. At a time when computational chemistry was in its infancy, this book advocated for a "synergy" between the chemist and the computer, a concept that has evolved into the sophisticated AI-driven drug discovery and synthesis planning tools used today.…

Book is clean, bright, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Dust jacket shows several small tears to edges, faint shelfworn marks, a bit of scuffing, mildly sunned spine. -- This volume of the series Physics and Evolution of the Earth's Interior introduces general ideas on the evolution of the matter in the Universe, on the evolution of the stars and galaxies, and of the Planetary System. It brings also an insight into the evolution of the planets, especially of the planetary interiors, like core formation, heat transfer and formation of minerals. Approaching different problems of the evolution of the Earth and Planets, we were forced to look upon this evolution as a part of the evolution of the Solar System, or even further as a part of the physical evolution of matter. Abundances of chemical elements can be explained only when we go back to the formation of planets and earlier to the nucleosynthesis process. In studying the formation and growth of the Earth's core, it was necessary to make a comparison with other planets, which are at different relative age of development. Two trends dominate in the research on the evolution of the Earth and the Planets. One, based on cosmology, is aimed at explaining their formation and early evolution. The other uses Plate Tectonics as a framework for describing more advanced evolutionary processes of their lithospheres and interiors. In this volume we give a cosmological insight into evolution of the Planetary System and of the Earth. The consecutive chapters present a synopsis of achievements of cosmology, a review of primordial nucleosynthesis and a discussion on formation of structures in the Universe - galaxies, stars and planetary systems, further, we present theories of planet formation and their early evolution: heat transfer, chemical and mineralogical processes, core formation and, finally, the generation of their magnetic field.…

The work is specifically designed for engineers and researchers involved in building structures in direct contact with water, such as dams, reservoirs, and pressure tunnels. Core Subjects and Themes: The book provides a systematic approach to three fundamental problems in rock mechanics as they relate to water-based projects: - Stress Distribution: Analysis of how internal forces are distributed within a rock mass when subjected to the loading generated by massive hydro-structures; - Failure Mechanisms: Criteria and models for describing how rocks and jointed rock masses deform or fail under external forces; - Hydraulics of Rock Masses: A detailed look at water flow through joints and the mechanical effects (seepage, pressure, and erosion) that this flow has on the stability of the bedrock. A prominent feature of the book is its "methodical approach," providing ready-to-use procedures for solving complex engineering tasks: - Laboratory and Field Methods: It outlines standard techniques for examining geological structures and determining the physical and mechanical properties of rock media; - Geotechnical Classifications: The text reviews various classification systems and discusses their specific utility in predicting the behavior of bedrock for tunnels, chambers, and dam foundations; - Site Investigations: Detailed guidance on how to define the features of a rock mass in its natural state before construction begins.…

Across nine comprehensive chapters, Cymborowski blends extensive original research with critical engagement with global literature to explore the role of hormones in the life cycle of insects. The book opens with a conceptual and historical introduction to insect endocrinology, including key problems such as hormonal feedback, circadian rhythms, and molecular regulation of metamorphosis. A detailed anatomical survey follows, mapping the structure and function of the neuroendocrine system - from neurosecretory cells and corpora allata to the prothoracic glands. Chapter 3 outlines a broad range of technical approaches - including endocrine gland ablation, parabiosis, in vitro culture, autoradiography, and multiple bioassay protocols - that together provide a foundation for experimental endocrinology in invertebrate systems. Chapters 4-8 present richly detailed discussions of how specific hormones, including PTTH, juvenile hormone, ecdysone, bursicon, and others, orchestrate developmental transitions, reproductive processes, diapause, and behavioural changes. These analyses synthesise hormonal interactions within ecological and physiological contexts, highlighting the interplay between endocrine signalling and environmental factors like temperature, photoperiod, and nutrition. The final chapter turns to applied entomology, addressing the use of insect hormones and analogues as a new generation of insecticides. Cymborowski offers a prescient discussion of juvenoids, ecdysoids, and hormone inhibitors, evaluating their mechanisms of action. With its blend of classical theory, methodological rigour, and applied relevance, Insect Endocrinology continues to be a valuable resource for anyone working in invertebrate physiology, developmental biology, or integrated pest management. -- Contents [Summary & References in each chapter]: 1.

This monograph provides an extensive analysis of over 200 species of Phthiracaroidea worldwide. Niedbala's work primarily revolves around morphological features and evolutionary tendencies, applying a cladistic approach to establish a natural classification. His research is significant in the study of soil mites, particularly moss mites, and spans over 20 years. The author divides the Phthiracaroidea into two families, three subfamilies, five tribes, nine genera, and four subgenera, providing diagnoses for superior taxa and comments on synonymous genera. The book offers species inventories in two parts: the first covers 223 species personally studied by the author (with drawings and geographic distribution), while the second focuses on 116 additional species and subspecies, including uncertain forms. Niedbala also delves into neotrichy (an increase in setae or hair-like structures), zoogeography, and the ecological characteristics of the Phthiracaroidea. Keys for determining species, genera, and subgenera are provided, making this a valuable resource for taxonomists and ecologists alike.
