Piezooptics in Non-Uniform Mechanical Fields
by Vlokh, Rostyslav, Skab, Igor, Krupych, Oleh
The phenomena of parametric optics, which include the piezooptic effect still remain the fundamental basis for the development of various optical instruments. On the other hand, the existing experimental methods for studying the piezooptic properties of crystalline media are qui…
This book describes fundamental mechanisms in both chemistry and biology, in order to present up-to-date catalytic pathways and molecular features of a series of ""hot"" enzymes including cytochromes P450, peroxidases, laccases, oxidases, dehydrogenases, kinases and phosphatases…
This book presents a detailed consideration of the methodological principles and the main methodological techniques of statistical research. It covers the history of the conception of statistics, a statistical observation, tabulating and grouping, the analysis of distribution ro…
This book explores human polity with respect to its nature, context, and evolution. Specifically, it examines how individual wills translate into political ideologies, investigates what social forces converge to shape governmental operations, and probes whether human polity prog…
Measurement and data science
Bringing together academics from Romania, the USA, Spain and Turkey, this volume follows the evolution of detective fiction, from its early forms during the late eighteenth century until its contemporary multi-media expressions. Tackling the best-known authors in the genre, as w…
This book presents the main results of extensive research on diffraction, radiation and propagation of elastic waves. In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in problems in the fields of diffraction, radiation and propagation of elastic waves associated with the …
