Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Symmetry and Heterogeneity in High Temperature Superconductors, Erice-Sicily, 4-10 October 2003

Contains lectures by world experts in the various branches of this field corresponding to lectures presented during the School "Frontiers of the Universe" at the IESC, (Corsica, France). These pedagogical lectures cover major subjects relevant to the field, providing introductory material for PhD students as well as to more senior scientists.

Hosted by the Yerevan Physics Institute, Yerevan, Armenia, 30 invited researchers from former Soviet Union and NATO countries gathered at Nor-Hamberd, Yerevan, on the slopes of Mount Aragats to discuss recent theoretical as well as expe- mental developments on means of producing photons from mostly low energy electrons.

Covers the main topics in the theory of superdense QCD matter and its application to the astrophysics of compact stars. This book deals with the question whether hypothetical states of dense matter in the compact star interior could give clues to the explanation of puzzling phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts, and pulsar glitches.

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 11-16 October 2004

The fast detection of explosives from the vapor phase would be one way to enhance the protection of society against terrorist attacks. In general different strategies can be adopt to the basic problem of explosive detection: * bulk detection * vapor detection Normally meetings cover both aspects and applications of the detection.

Includes contributions from lectures of the 25th International Summer School on Engineering Theories of Software Intensive Systems, held at Marktoberdorf, Germany, in August 2004. This book presents mathematical foundations of software engineering and engineering methods to examine software engineering techniques and foundations in industries.

Assembles the texts of presentations given at the NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop on Quasi-Optical Transmission of High-Power Microwaves, held in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia in February 2004.

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Kaunas, Lithuania, from 3-14 September 2001

Covers the main topics in the theory of superdense QCD matter and its application to the astrophysics of compact stars. This book focuses on the question that whether hypothetical new states of dense matter in the compact star interior could give clues to the explanation of puzzling phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts and pulsar glitches.

From a structural point of view using these growth techniques ZnO can be fabricated ranging from single crystalline bulk material to polycrystalline ZnO and nanowhiskers.

Ionic soft matter is a class of conventional condensed soft matter with prevailing contribution from electrostatics and, therefore, can be subject to possible long-range correlations among the components of the - terial and in many cases crucially affecting its physical properties.

The book provides a unique collection of 15 contributions by 15 internationally recognized scientists performing intensive research activity on the preparation and characterization of complex and multiphase materials based on macromolecules as well as on the evaluation and simulation of structure/properties relations.

Liquid crystals, polymers and polymer liquid crystals are soft condensed matter systems of major technological and scientific interest.

Starting with the general properties of functional materials the authors present an updated overview of the fundamentals of Scanning Probe Techniques and the application of SPM techniques to the characterization of specified functional materials such as piezoelectric and ferroelectric and to the fabrication of some nano electronic devices.

Features the proceedings of the NATO ARW during August 2001 at Canada on "New Techniques in Topological Quantum Field Theory". The featured articles include papers on combinatorial formulas for cohomology of spaces of Knots, the computation of Ohtsuki series, and a paper on the torsion conjecture for Khovanov homology by Shumakovitch.

The fusion of algebra, analysis and geometry, and their application to real world problems, have been dominant themes underlying mathematics for over the years. This book features topics such as: signal and image processing in remote sensing, computer vision, medical image processing, biological signal processing, geometric algebras, and more.

The 17 chapters of this book grew out of the tutorial lectures given by leading world-class experts at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Effects of Space Weather on Technology Infrastructure" - ESPRIT, which was held in Rhodes on March 25-29, 2004.

Offers a collection of articles on various aspects of metallic nanocrystalline materials. This book focuses on the special character of the local atomic ordering and the corresponding interatomic bonding as well as anomalies and particularities of electron density distributions, and the formation of metastable, nanocrystalline phases.

Proceedings of the NATO ARW, Shoresh, Israel, from 30 June to 4 July 2003

Modern industry imposes ever increasing requirements upon tools and tool materials as to the provision for performance under the conditions of high cutting speeds and dynamic loads as well as under intensive thermal and chemical interactions with workpiece materials.
