Solid-State Chemistry (De Gruyter Textbook)


Free Download Solid-State Chemistry
by Frank Hoffmann

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110657244 | 382 pages | True PDF | 12.65 MB
This book invites you on a tour through the most relevant topics of solid-state chemistry. It provides an up-to-date overview about fascinating structures of inorganic matter and new research developments. The reader will also gain crucial insights into many aspects of material science, from ceramics to superconductors. One chapter is specifically dedicated to the most rapidly evolving field of material metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The book contains a chapter which is often neglected in others due to its complexity, the intermetallic phases. A concise but very didactic introduction to crystallographic specifications ensures that the reader will gain a deeper understanding of the crystal structures presented in the book. The book places special emphasis on the graphical illustrations which were specifically designed to promote real insights into the structural features. Instead of having to decipher hard to distinguish graphics the reader has an eye-opening experience. A further added value is that many references to the original research publications are given which enables easy follow-up for more detailed study.

This book covers the most important topics that people working as process control engineers and plant operators will encounter. It focuses on PID control, explains when to use P-, PI-, PD or PID control as well as PID tuning methods. It includes difficult to control process nonlinearities such as valve stiction, sensor problems. The book explains advanced control strategies that are necessary when single loop control give insufficient results.

Nonlinear Dynamics (De Gruyter Textbook)


Free Download Nonlinear Dynamics
by Axelle Amon, Marc Lefranc

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110677865 | 214 pages | True PDF EPUB | 80.98 MB
Many nonlinear systems around us can generate a very complex and counter-intuitive dynamics that contrasts with their simplicity, but their understanding requires concepts that are outside the basic training of most science students. This textbook, which is the fruit of graduate courses that the authors have taught at their respective universities, provides a richly illustrated introduction to nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos and a solid foundation for this fascinating subject. It will satisfy those who want discover this field, including at the undergraduate level, but also those who need a compact and consistent overview, gathering the concepts essential to nonlinear scientists.

Commutative Algebra (De Gruyter Textbook), 2nd Edition


Free Download Commutative Algebra
by Aron Simis

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3111078450 | 370 pages | True PDF EPUB | 46.72 MB
This unique book on commutative algebra is divided into two parts in order to facilitate its use in several types of courses. The first introductory part covers the basic theory, connections with algebraic geometry, computational aspects, and extensions to module theory. The more advanced second part covers material such as associated primes and primary decomposition, local rings, M -sequences and Cohen-Macaulay modules, and homological methods.
