Diamond's supreme properties can be realized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond films with many applications, such as cutting tools, tweeter diaphragms, deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, radomes, CPU transistors, quantum computer, and MEMs. This volume provides extensive reviews on various CVD methods with examples. Meanwhile, there are other forms of carbon coatings, including diamond-like carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. These carbon coatings possess properties derived from diamond. For example, graphene is actually flattened diamond's (111) face with superb electrical and thermal conductivities. For the first time, this book reveals a catalytic method to grow single-crystal graphene, whose applications are expected in heat spreaders, battery electrodes, interconnected circuits, and 6G antennae.

This original research monograph concerns various aspects of how (based on the decompositions of vertices of hypercube graphs with respect to their symmetric cycles) the vertex sets of related discrete hypercubes, as well as the power sets of the corresponding ground sets, emerge from rank 2 oriented matroids, from underlying rank 2 systems of linear inequalities, and thus literally from arrangements of straight lines crossing a common point on a piece of paper. It reveals some beautiful and earlier-hidden fragments in the true foundations of discrete mathematics. The central observation made and discussed in the book from various viewpoints consists in that 2t subsets of a finite t-element set Et, which form in a natural way a cyclic structure (well, just t subsets that are the vertices of a path in the cycle suffice), allow us to construct any of 2t subsets of the set Et by means of a more than elementary voting procedure expressed in basic linear algebraic terms. The monograph will be of interest to researchers, students, and readers in the fields of discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, Boolean function theory, enumerative combinatorics and combinatorics on words, combinatorial optimization, coding theory, and discrete and computational geometry.

This book is an anthology of philosophical essays. Its principle is simple: the moments of our life are original. What we perceive and think does not arise from an elusive and illusive entity called God, Soul or External World. This setting, in line with philosophical and scientific trends, is the starting point for reaching a coherent and innovative solution to the problems of knowledge. In the foreground we encounter the relationship between the mind and the brain, where the terms are composed according to the analogy with music and the musical score, and then the basis of time and the sense of the Big Bang. These are the frame and sketch of the book.

This book presents the first ever comprehensive survey of a new family of nanocomposite sorbents "salt in porous matrix" (CSPMs). These composites have recently been developed for selective sorption of water, alcohols, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. They owe their origin to the catchy idea of target-oriented tailoring of materials with predetermined adsorption properties harmonized with a particular adsorption process.The book develops the concept of target-oriented synthesis and suggests tools for tailoring new adsorbent materials adapted to multiple practical applications. It describes properties of approximately 50 new CSPMs of water, alcohols, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, including the data obtained in the author's laboratory and literature available by the end of 2018. These data can be used for engineering calculations and analysis of practical applications. The book also discusses potential applications of these sorbents for storage and transformation of low-temperature heat, gas drying, maintenance of relative humidity in museums, and regeneration of heat and moisture in ventilation systems.

The book describes mathematical tools that allow to solve partial differential equations, typical of physical problems. Another original and unique feature of this book is the emphasis on the mathematical formulation of the problems, as well as the analysis of several alternative ways to solve them.

The most celebrated of Western composers in the twentieth century, Igor Stravinskymay have been the greatest as well. Stretching across forty or so years, the essays in this volume address the dynamics of Igor Stravinsky's music from a variety of analytical, critical, and aesthetic angles. Underscored are the features of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form that would remain consistently a part of Stravinsky's oeuvre regardless of the changes in orientation from the Russian period to the neoclassical and the early serial. The Rite of Spring (1913), Les Noces (1917-23), the Symphony of Psalms (1930), and the Symphony in Three Movements (1945) are discussed in detail, as are many of the circumstances attending their conception. Other concerns include the composer's "formalist" aesthetics and the strict performing style he pursued as an interpreter and conductor of his music.
