It is an application-oriented book, giving a chemists’ point of view on the state-of-art and perspectives of the field. While presenting a comprehensive coverage of thiophene-based materials and related applications, the aim is to show how the rational molecular design of materials can bring a new breadth to known device applications or even aid the development of novel application concepts. The main topics to be covered are synthetic methodologies to thiophene-based materials (including the chemistry of thiophene, oligomers and polymerisation approaches) and the structure and physical properties of oligo- and polythiophenes. Part of the book is devoted to the properties of conjugated thiophene materials for electronics and photonics and the role of thiophene-based materials. 6 Audience: Researchers in academia and industry interested in the field of organic electronics and photonics and in (poly)thiophene chemistry; graduate students of materials science, physics, chemistry and engineering; Hi-Tech companies working in the field of organic electronic and optoelectronic materials. This important five-volume series has been written with both the professional engineer and the academic in mind. Cristian Lalanne explores every aspect of vibration and shock, two fundamental and extremely significant areas of mechanical engineering, from both a theoretical and practical point of view. As all products need to be designed to withstand the environmental conditions to which they are likely to be subjected, prototypes must be verified by calculation and undergo laboratory tests to meet national and international standards. The concept of tailoring the product to its environment has developed gradually. Nowadays, from the very start of a design project through to the standards specifications and testing procedures on the prototype, the real environment in which the product will function is taken into account. The five volumes of Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis cover all the necessary issues in this area of mechanical engineering. The theoretical analyses are placed in the context of both the real world and the laboratory, which is essential for the development of specifications. Audience: Professional mechanical engineers, students studying vibration and shock Jacket design subject to change Advanced Nanomaterials Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology 4 Volume Set Bioprocess, Bioseparation, and Cell Technology 8 Volume Set John G.

But must religion and science be such bitter adversaries? Or are these seemingly implacable foes more like natural allies in the search for objective truth? The underlying assumption of Science and Religion in Dialogue is the belief that scientific and religious practices of inquiry can, in fact, be viewed as logically compatible, complementary, and mutually supportive. Edited by philosopher Melville Y. Stewart, this wide-ranging two-volume collection represents the most cutting edge thinking on topics at the convergence of faith and science. Consisting of 70 articles by eminent scientists and philosophers from the world’s most prestigious colleges and universities, issues such as Big Bang cosmology, evolution, intelligent design, dinosaurs and creation, and the God-Gene Hypothesis are addressed. The implications of religious beliefs on hot-button scientific issues such as stem cell research, bioethics, and neuroscience, are also explored, along with topics that delve into the deeper realm of physics such as general and special theories of relativity, dark energy, dark matter, the Multiverse Hypothesis, and Super String Theory. Thought provoking and enlightening, Science and Religion in Dialogue offers serious non-specialist readers the most current thinking on the complementary truths of science and faith.

The Encyclopedia of Quantitative Finance is a landmark, multi-volume major reference work, presenting a timely and comprehensive body of knowledge. The Encyclopedia is designed to serve as an essential reference for the finance community, as well as academics and students in mathematical finance and related areas. With contributions from some of the leading figures in industry and academic research, the Encyclopedia provides an authoritative exposition of quantitative finance. The cross-disciplinary nature of the work is reflected in its coverage of key concepts including financial econometrics, risk management, asset and option pricing, derivatives, portfolio optimization, and mathematical tools and methods, and also by the inclusion of supporting topics such as market microstructure, the history of quantitative finance, energy and commodities, and actuarial methods. Over the past three decades the explosive growth in trading of financial derivatives has been reflected in a commensurate growth in the study of financial mathematics, which in turn has helped to support the increasing sophistication of financial markets. Scholars from both practice and academia have long felt the need for a comprehensive reference work such as the Encyclopedia of Quantitative Finance. In its broadest sense quantitative finance is concerned with the mathematical modeling of financial and related risks, associated with the trading, valuation, and risk management of financial instruments. It relies on mathematical finance and computer simulations to make trading, hedging, and investment decisions, as well as facilitating the management of risk in those decisions. The Encyclopedia draws together the computational methods and practical aspects of mathematical modelling for the financial sector. The Encyclopedia of Quantitative Finance also provides wide coverage of theoretical and practical aspects of quantitative finance. The contributions - even the more mathematically demanding - are sufficiently accessible that the less mathematically-adept reader can gain insight into the topics discussed. The articles also contain citations to the scholarly literature, are fully cross-referenced to other relevant articles in the encyclopedia, and include detailed bibliographies for further reading. The scope and breadth of the Encyclopedia will make it an invaluable resource for the professional, the academic researcher, and for the student in this rapidly growing area. Audience: Quants, graduate students, academic researchers, and all those involved in quantitative modelling in finance Market Risk Analysis is the most comprehensive, rigorous and detailed resource available on market risk analysis. Written as a series of four interlinked volumes each title is selfcontained, although numerous cross-references to other volumes enable readers to obtain further background knowledge and information about financial applications. Volume I: Quantitative Methods in Finance covers the essential mathematical and financial background for subsequent volumes. Although many readers will already be familiar with this material, few competing texts contain such a complete and pedagogical exposition of all the basic quantitative concepts required for market risk analysis. There are six comprehensive chapters covering all the calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, numerical methods and portfolio mathematics that are necessary for market risk analysis. This is an ideal background text for a Masters course in finance. Volume II: Practical Financial Econometrics provides a detailed understanding of financial econometrics, with applications to asset pricing and fund management as well as to market risk analysis. It covers equity factor models, including a detailed analysis of the Barra model and tracking error, principal component analysis, volatility and correlation, GARCH, cointegration, copulas, Markov switching, quantile regression, discrete choice models, non-linear regression, forecasting and model evaluation. Volume III: Pricing, Hedging and Trading Financial Instruments has five very long chapters on the pricing, hedging and trading of bonds and swaps, futures and forwards, options and volatility as well detailed descriptions of mapping portfolios of these financial instruments to their risk factors. There are numerous examples, all coded in interactive Excel spreadsheets, including many pricing formulae for exotic options but excluding the calibration of stochastic volatility models, for which Matlab code is provided. The chapters on options and volatility together constitute 50% of the book, the slightly longer chapter on volatility concentrating on the dynamic properties the two volatility surfaces the implied and the local volatility surfaces that accompany an option pricing model, with particular reference to hedging. Volume IV: Value at Risk Models builds on the three previous volumes to provide by far the most comprehensive and detailed treatment of market VaR models that is currently available in any textbook. The exposition starts at an elementary level but, as in all the other volumes, the pedagogical approach accompanied by numerous interactive Excel spreadsheets allows readers to experience the application of parametric linear, historical simulation and Monte Carlo VaR models to increasingly complex portfolios. Starting with simple positions, after a few chapters we apply value-at-risk models to interest rate sensitive portfolios, large international securities portfolios, commodity futures, path dependent options and much else. This rigorous treatment includes many new results and applications to regulatory and economic capital allocation, measurement of VaR model risk and stress testing. Audience: professionals, undergraduate and postgraduate students in finance and risk. 17 Recently published and previously announced 18 Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis 14 Volume Set Handbook of Green Chemistry Green Catalysis 3 Volume Set Leo A.
