In addition to the presentation speeches and the Nobel lectures, this volume also includes an introduction to each lecture, endnotes of explanation and selected bibliographies. The introduction takes note of any relevant developments since the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded as well as any new biographical information. The Nobel Peace prizewinners...

In this book, the studies of the Rouse, Doi-Edwards, and extended reputation theories are developed in a consistent manner from a basic level and discussed in detail. Viscoelastic properties of nearly monodisperse linear flexible polymers in both the entanglement and entanglement-free regions are analyzed quantitatively in terms of the molecular...

Dealing with fundamental problems, concepts, and methods of multiparameter stability theory with applications in mechanics, this book presents: achievements and knowledge of bifurcation theory; sensitivity analysis of stability characteristics; general aspects of nonconservative stability problems; analysis of singularities of boundaries for the...

This book covers both fundamental and practical aspects of chemical analysis: Data Process and Analysis; Chemical Equilibria and Volumetric titraitons; Gravimetry; Spectrophotometry; Sample Preparation and Separation Methods in Quantitative Analysis. It was written with the rich tradition of teaching at Peking University College of Chemistry, and...

In 1971, Leon O. Chua presented the formulation of a memristor, which was postulated as the fourth circuit element in electrical circuit theory - one that could join the existing core group of elements: capacitor, resistor and inductor. For over thirty years, the memristor had held no significance in circuit theory. Then in 2008, a group of...

This book provides a comprehensive account of the theory of moduli spaces of elliptic curves (over integer rings) and its application to modular forms. The construction of Galois representations, which play a fundamental role in Wiles' proof of the Shimura - Taniyama conjecture, is given. In addition, the book presents an outline of the proof of...
