This comprehensive textbook provides a modern, self-contained treatment for upper undergraduate and graduate level students. It emphasizes the links between structure, defects, bonding, and properties throughout, and provides an integrated treatment of a wide range of materials, including crystalline, amorphous, organic and nano- materials. Boxes on synthesis methods, characterization tools, and technological applications distil specific examples and support student understanding of materials and their design. The first six chapters cover the fundamentals of extended solids, while later chapters explore a specific property or class of material, building a coherent framework for students to master core concepts with confidence, and for instructors to easily tailor the coverage to fit their own single semester course. With mathematical details given only where they strengthen understanding, 400 original figures and over 330 problems for hands-on learning, this accessible textbook is ideal for courses in chemistry and materials science.

Modeling Nanoscale Imaging in Electron Microscopy presents the recent advances that have been made using mathematical methods to resolve problems in microscopy. With improvements in hardware-based aberration software significantly expanding the nanoscale imaging capabilities of scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM), these mathematical models can replace some labor intensive procedures used to operate and maintain STEMs. This book, the first in its field since 1998, will also cover such relevant concepts as superresolution techniques, special denoising methods, application of mathematical/statistical learning theory, and compressed sensing.

Clinicians and managers are increasingly required to participate in or manage new initiatives which depend heavily on co-operation collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach where effective interpersonal and group skills are of vital importance. This practical guide encourages the reader to determine how their organisations work and the impact they have on their members. It draws on the experiences of primary care research and development projects and contains numerous case studies tips and techniques to manage change. It is an essential guide for healthcare professionals in primary care and will equip those working in practice and facilitators working with practices with a clear understanding of how to achieve successful acceptance and management of change.

Dieser kompetente Praxisleitfaden enthält alles, was man über die Arzneimitteltherapie von Epilepsie wissen muss. Dabei wird nicht nur auf die Wirkstoffe, sondern auch auf die Grundlagen eingegangen. Anerkannte Indikationen werden ebenso dargestellt wie die unerwünschten Wirkungen. Nutzen-Risiko-Relation und Aufwand-Nutzen-Relation sind die zentralen Parameter für die Arzneimittelauswahl. Hinweise für die Betreuung von Patienten und Patiententipps runden das Werk ab.

Die moderne Wissenschaft ist ein faszinierendes Instrument zur Gewinnung von Erkenntnissen über Natur und Kultur. Ihre Ergebnisse sind zwar nicht frei von Widersprüchen, aber den meisten anderen Arten, Wissen zu erzeugen, überlegen. Das liegt an bestimmten Regeln, über die sich Wissenschaftler verständigt haben.Ein zentrales Prinzip von Wissenschaft ist Transparenz. Der Weg zum Wissen soll für alle nachvollziehbar sein, die bereit sind, sich in einen bestimmten Wissensbereich einzuarbeiten. Debatten um Fake News und Alternative Fakten zeigen, wie wichtig transparent erzeugtes Wissen ist. Dabei kann nicht genug betont werden, dass die moderne Wissenschaft als Reaktion auf Aberglauben und Fake entstanden ist.Einen Einstieg in das Thema Wissenschaft zu finden ist schwer, denn das Prinzip der Transparenz darf leider nicht mit Verständlichkeit gleichgesetzt werden. Ziel des Buches ist es, die Idee von Wissenschaft auch Lesern ohne Vorkenntnisse näherzubringen.

Chapter contribution from John B Goodenough, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2019.This book provides a unique look at the chemistry and properties of complex metal oxides from the perspectives of some of the most active researchers on this class of materials. Applications of complex oxide materials are highly varied. Topics reviewed in this volume include solid-state battery research, the chemistry of transparent conductors, ternary uranium oxides, magnetic perovskites, non-linear optical materials, complex molybdenum-vanadium bronzes and other complex materials used in selective oxidation catalysis. It is written to serve as an introduction to the subject for and those beginning to work on these materials, particularly new graduate students.
