Within the discipline of environmental sciences, the stable-isotope methodology is being increasingly used, especially in the study of the water cycle and of paeleo-climatology. This book reviews the natural variability of stable isotopes in the hydrosphere.

Unlike publications that concentrate mainly on the theoretical aspect of flow visualization, this text focuses on the techniques required to perform high quality flow visualization. Each chapter of the book has been written by an expert in a particular technique.

This book is intended to provide a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of classical mechanics. The new edition has also been revised to give more emphasis to specific examples worked out in detail.

Setting out the principles of operation of the semiconductor devices, this work explains clearly and concisely how these devices may be modelled. It also provides a foundation in semiconductor physics, and in circuit models and fabrication processes for diodes, bipolar transistors and MOSFETs.

Examples of interdependent meteorological phenomena in nature and interdependence in medical, social, economic and political aspects of our existence are numerous. This study of dependence concepts and measures requires a modest background in statistics, probability and integral calculus.

A guide to good dissertation and thesis writing. It outlines the rules and conventions of scientific writing and provides practical advice about planning, writing, editing, presenting and submitting a successful dissertation or thesis. The text features cartoons and real-life anecdotes.

Based on material taught to final-year students of theoretical physics, this is an introduction to the essentials of vector spaces and linear operators. It builds bridges between the concepts and mathematics of classical physics, and the mathematical framework employed in quantum mechanics.

Offers the practical means of finding asymptotic solutions to differential equations, and relates WKB methods, integral solutions, Kruskal-Newton diagrams, and boundary layer theory. This book focuses on the techniques of analysis: obtaining asymptotic limits, connecting different asymptotic solutions, and obtaining integral representation.

Tolerance design techniques are playing an increasingly important role in maximizing the manufacturing yield of mass-produced electronic circuits. This work offers an account of design and analysis methods used to minimize the unwanted effects of component tolerances.
