This book presents isothermal and non-isothermal multiphase flows with and without phase change or chemical reactions. Six main axes of multiphase flow are covered in a strategic order: Multiphase Flow in Industry, Multiphase Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, Multiphase Flow With Phase Change & Chemical Reactions, Multiphase Flow Modeling, Experimental Multiphase Flow, and Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Each part is opened by mini-reviews written by internationally prominent researchers from the academy and industry. The content is of interest to researchers and engineers working in mining, oil and gas, power, nuclear, chemical process, space, food, biomedical, micro and nanotechnology, and other industries.
This volume contains a series of topical lectures in general relativity, cosmology, astrophysics, and field theory, with contributions from theorists and experimentalists.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the X Jorge André Swieca Summer School — Particles and Fields. It includes topics on non-commutative geometry, constructive quantum field theory and duality in quantum field theory, as well as various subjects in high energy physics and phenomenology.
O livro IFUSP: Passado, Presente e Futuro é mais do que um volume dedicado à história do Instituto e sua evolução. Trata também do presente do Instituto e faz algumas projeções para o futuro. Este volume vem também a propósito da comemoração do Ano mundial da Física. Os dois eventos - a criação da USP e a Lembrança dos trabalhos pioneiros de Einstein - constituem-se num momento extemamente propício para a divulgação da Física e para uma reflexâo sobre esta área no Brasil e no mundo. A evolução do instituto é abordada através de textos elaborados por lideramças do Instituto e de depoimentos de personalidades que contribuíram, de forma marcante, para o desenvolvimento do Instituto como uma Instituição pioneira no Brasil.

This volume presents articles from several lectures presented at the school on ``Quantum Symmetries in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics'' held in Bariloche, Argentina. The various lecturers provided significantly different points of view on several aspects of Hopf algebras, quantum group theory, and noncommutative differential geometry, ranging from analysis, geometry, and algebra to physical models, especially in connection with integrable systems and conformal field theories.Primary topics discussed in the text include subgroups of quantum $SU(N)$, quantum ADE classifications and generalized Coxeter systems, modular invariance, defects and boundaries in conformal field theory, finite dimensional Hopf algebras, Lie bialgebras and Belavin-Drinfeld triples, real forms ofquantum spaces, perturbative and non-perturbative Yang-Baxter operators, braided subfactors in operator algebras and conformal field theory, and generalized ($d$) cohomologies.
This volume explores democracy in the 20th century, examining the triumph, crises, recovery, and resilience of democracy and its associated cultures in this period. From 1920 democracy became the hegemonic discourse in political cultures, to the extent that even its enemies claimed its legacy. The end of empires ushered in an unprecedented globalization of democratic aspirations. Barriers of gender and race were gradually removed, and greater equality gave new meaning to citizenship. Yet, already in 1922 democracy was on its back foot with the rise of fascism. Even after the latter's defeat in 1945, liberal democracy died wherever communist democracy triumphed. The situation changed again fr...
Física de partículas vista pelas Interações Fundamentais e Formação de Professores é o segundo livro proposto pelos professores Thales Costa Soares, Humberto Belich Júnior e José Abdalla Helayel-Neto como resultado dos Cursos Tratando desta temática do Programa Novos Talentos da CAPES. Neste novo livro, temos a introdução de dois novos capítulos, que ampliam o alcance da possibilidade de tratar da Física de Partículas no Ensino Médio, contribuindo assim de forma decisiva para que um assunto tão importante e presente no dia-a-dia, possa assim se tornar um conhecimento acessível aos estudantes deste nível de Ensino. Este livro é também material de apoio para professores de Física da Educação Básica, frente a sua linguagem clara e acessível, colaborando para sua formação continuada e a aplicação dos conceitos envolvidos em sala de aula. Temos a convicção de que é fundamental a atualização dos temas de Física trabalhados no Ensino médio em nosso País. "Física de partículas vista pelas Interações Fundamentais e Formação de Professores" tem papel relevante na realização desta tarefa.
In the past, work has shaped the way we live. In the near future, the way we live may shape the way we work. Workspheres creatively confronts the design demands of the ever-evolving contemporary work environment. Featuring design products, prototypes, and models, as well as previewing a ground-breaking exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this exciting book introduces work concepts originated by internationally recognized designers who address the unique needs of specific work scenarios, including the nomadic office of a business traveler; the domestic office; the virtual office; and more traditional offices in settings configured for group interaction. Essays and commentaries by an international group of design experts explore such themes as individuality within a corporation; the impact of digital technology on the organization of time and schedule; and the economic significance of flexible work configurations. Copiously illustrated, this source-book will be of wide popular interest.
