This book deals with many recent advances made in uncovering the molecular and cellular basis of phagocytosis of apoptotic and necrotic dying cells as well as with the methods used for studying their clearance. There are important practical and clinical reasons for attempting to understand the molec... More

This monograph is devoted to recent advances in nonlinear dynamics of continuous elastic systems. A major part of the book is dedicated to the analysis of non-homogeneous continua, e.g. plates and shells characterized by sudden changes in their thickness, possessing holes in their bodies or/and edge...

This volume introduces and reviews novel theoretical approaches to modeling strongly nonlinear behaviour of either individual or interacting structural mechanical units such as beams, plates and shells or composite systems thereof. The approach draws upon the well-established fields of bifurcation t... More

Among the theoretical methods for solving many problems of applied mathematics, physics, and technology, asymptotic methods often provide results that lead to obtaining more effective algorithms of numerical evaluation. Presenting the mathematical methods of perturbation theory, Introduction to Asym... More

The present monograph is devoted to nonlinear dynamics of thin plates and shells with termosensitive excitation. Since the investigated mathematical models are of different sizes (two- and three-dimensional differential equation) and different types (differential equations of hyperbolic and paraboli... More

This monograph, addressing researchers as well as engineers, is devoted to nonclassical thermoelastic modelling of the nonlinear dynamics of shells. Differential equations of different dimensionality and different type have to be combined and nonlinearities of different geometrical, physical or elas... More

The book covers basic gynaecological and obstetric investigative techniques, operations and instrumentation, and issues related to family planning. Concise and easy to understand presentation in a question-answer format is supplemented by a number of illustrations. Indications, contraindications and... More

Basic Engineering Thermodynamics addresses the needs of BTech and BE students studying thermodynamics as a core course. Using his forty-year experience in teaching, the author methodically explains difficult and abstract concepts, making them easy to understand as well as interesting. Numerous caref... More
