Structural Analysis A Unified Classical and Matrix Approach Seventh Edition

Structural Analysis A Unified Classical and Matrix Approach Seventh Edition

This comprehensive textbook combines classical and matrix-based methods of structural analysis and develops them concurrently. It is widely used by civil and structural engineering lecturers and students because of its clear and thorough style and content. The text is used for undergraduate and graduate courses and serves as reference in structural engineering practice. With its six translations the book is used internationally independent of codes of practice and regardless of the adopted system of units. Now in its seventh edition: the introductory background material has been reworked and enhanced throughout and particularly in early chapters explanatory notes new examples and problems are inserted for more clarity. along with 160 examples and 430 problems with solutions. dynamic analysis of structures and applications to vibration and earthquake problems are presented in new sections and in two new chapters the companion website provides an enlarged set of 16 computer programs to assist in teaching and learning linear and nonlinear structural analysis. The source code an executable file input example(s) and a brief manual are provided for each program. | Structural Analysis A Unified Classical and Matrix Approach Seventh Edition

Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Marine biogeography the study of the spatial distribution of organisms in the world’s oceans is one of the most fascinating branches of oceanography. This book continues the pioneering research into the distributions of molluscan faunas first studied by biologists over 160 years ago. It illustrates 1778 species of gastropods in full color many of which are extremely rare and poorly known endemic species that are illustrated for the first time outside of their original descriptions. The spatial arrangements of malacofaunas shown in this book can be considered proxies for worldwide oceanic conditions and used as tools for determining patterns of global climate change. The book's documentation of evolutionary hot spots and geographically restricted endemic faunas can also be used as a base line for future studies on patterns of environmental deterioration and extinction in the marine biosphere. Documenting the evolution of the amazingly rich worldwide gastropod fauna this book will appeal to physical and chemical oceanographers systematic and evolutionary biologists historical geologists paleontologists climatologists geomorphologists and physical geographers. The authors incorporate aspects of all of these disciplines into a new classification system for the nomenclature of biogeographical spatial units found in tropical subtropical and warm temperate seas. | Tropical Marine Mollusks An Illustrated Biogeographical Guide

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

This book addresses the timely subject of systems applications in astrobiology. It demonstrates how astrobiology – a multidisciplinary interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of science – can benefit from adopting the systems approach. Astrobiology draws upon its founding sciences such as astronomy physics chemistry biochemistry geology and planetary sciences. However astrobiologists can encounter difficulties working across these fields. The systems approach we believe is the best contemporary approach to consider astrobiology holistically. The approach is currently used in other fields such as engineering which uses systems analysis routinely. Such an approach needs to be learned both in principle and through examples from the field. This book features chapters from experts across the field of astrobiology who have applied the systems approach. It will be a valuable guide for astrobiology students at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels in addition to researchers in the field both in academia and the space industry. Key Features: Offers a unique and novel approach to studying and understanding astrobiology Encourages astrobiologists to apply a holistic systems approach to their work rather than being bogged down in details Imparts practical knowledge to readers which can be adopted in different research and job opportunities in the field of astrobiology Vera M. Kolb obtained degrees in chemical engineering and organic chemistry from Belgrade University Serbia and earned her PhD in organic chemistry from Southern Illinois University Carbondale Illinois United States. Following a 30-year career she is Professor Emerita of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Kenosha Wisconsin. During her first sabbatical leave with the NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Astrobiology she conducted research with Dr. Leslie Orgel at the Salk Institute and Prof. Stanley Miller at UC San Diego. Her second sabbatical was with Prof. Joseph Lambert at Northwestern University where she studied sugar silicates and their potential astrobiological relevance. She is credited for authoring over 160 publications in the fields of organic and medicinal chemistry green chemistry and astrobiology including several books. Recently she authored Green Organic Chemistry and Its Interdisciplinary Applications (CRC 2016). In the astrobiology field she edited Astrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach (CRC 2015) and Handbook of Astrobiology (CRC 2019). She co-authored (with Benton C. Clark) Astrobiology for a General Reader: A Questions and Answers Approach (CSP 2020) and Systems Approach to Astrobiology (CRC 2023). | Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology
