Supersymmetry in Particle Physics: An Elementary Introduction

Review"If you are a physics student with good knowledge of quantum field theory or an experimentalist working on high-energy physics, and need a quick reference on supersymmetry (SUSY) on which you can find the rationale behind it, in addition to the most useful cross-section formulae, then the book by Ian Aitchison is probably the best choice for you. If you have no idea about SUSY but want (or need) to learn its basics, again this is a very good choice. " Diego Casadei NYU and CERN Product DescriptionSupersymmetry represents the culmination of the search for fundamental symmetries that has dominated particle physics for 50 years.
Traditionally, the constituents of matter (fermions) were regarded as different from the particles (bosons) transmitting the forces between them. In supersymmetry, fermions and bosons are unified. Intended for graduate students in particle physics, and researchers in experimental and phenomenological supersymmetry, this is the first textbook to provide a simple introduction to a previously formidably technical field. Its elementary, practical treatment brings readers to the frontier of contemporary research, in particular the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.

Theories are constructed through an intuitive 'trial and error' approach. Basic elements of spinor formalism and superfields are introduced, allowing readers to access more advanced treatments. Emphasis is placed on physical understanding, and on detailed derivations of important steps. Many short exercises are included, making for a valuable and accessible self-study tool.

Nanoscale Science and Technology




Editorial Reviews
Review"…a refreshing work, a very readable introduction to nanotechnology…" (CHOICE, February 2006 )
“ …the book reads well (and) abounds with instructive diagrams …” (Chemistry World, July 2005) Product DescriptionNanotechnology is a vital new area of research and development addressing the control, modification and fabrication of materials, structures and devices with nanometre precision and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions. Future applications of nanoscale science and technology include motors smaller than the diameter of a human hair and single-celled organisms programmed to fabricate materials with nanometer precision.Miniaturisation has revolutionised the semiconductor industry by making possible inexpensive integrated electronic circuits comprised of devices and wires with sub-micrometer dimensions.

These integrated circuits are now ubiquitous, controlling everything from cars to toasters. The next level of miniaturisation, beyond sub-micrometer dimensions into nanoscale dimensions (invisible to the unaided human eye) is a booming area of research and development. This is a very hot area of research with large amounts of venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide, as such Nanoscale Science and Technology has a broad appeal based upon an interdisciplinary approach, covering aspects of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and electronic engineering.

Kelsall et al present a coherent approach to nanoscale sciences, which will be invaluable to graduate level students and researchers and practising engineers and product designers

Advanced Transport Phenomena: Fluid Mechanics and Convective Transport Processes

Review'Advanced transport phenomena contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics, ... With a focus on solving representative problems, the author aims to teach students to think about the solution of transport problems.' The Chemical Engineer Product DescriptionAdvanced Transport Phenomena is ideal as a graduate textbook. It contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer problems, focusing on approximations based upon scaling and asymptotic methods, beginning with the derivation of basic equations and boundary conditions and concluding with linear stability theory. Also covered are unidirectional flows, lubrication and thin-film theory, creeping flows, boundary layer theory, and convective heat and mass transport at high and low Reynolds numbers. The emphasis is on basic physics, scaling and non-dimensionalization, and approximations that can be used to obtain solutions due either to geometric simplifications, or large or small values of dimensionless parameters.
The author emphasizes setting up problems and extracting as much information as possible short of obtaining detailed solutions of differential equations. The book is also focused on the solutions of representative problems. This reflects the author's bias toward learning to think about the solution of transport problems

Mechanical Behavior of Materials







Product DescriptionThis textbook is for courses on Mechanical Behavior of Materials taught in departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. The text includes numerous examples and problems for student practice. The book emphasizes quantitative problem solving. End of the chapter notes are included to increase students' interest. This text differs from others because the treatment of plasticity has greater emphasis on the interrelationship of the flow, effective strain and effective stress and their use in conjunction with yield criteria to solve problems. The treatment of defects is new. Schmid's law is generalized for complex stress states. Its use with strains allows for prediction of R-values for textures. Another feature is the treatment of lattice rotations and how they lead to deformation textures. The chapter on fracture mechanics includes coverage of Gurney's approach. Much of the analysis of particulate composites is new. Few texts include anything on metal forming. Book DescriptionThis text for courses on Mechanical Behavior of Materials in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, includes numerous examples and problems and emphasizes quantitative problem solving. It considers numerous topics including mechanical testing to determine material properties, plasticity for FEM analyses, means of altering mechanical properties and several modes of failure.

Data Monitoring in Clinical Trials







"This book is a must-read for individuals serving on or supporting data monitoring committees as well as statisticians and other disciplines involved in the design and analysis of clinical trials with interim monitoring." Journal of Biopharmaceutical Sciences, Issue 6, 2006
"This edited book gives a brief introduction to data-monitoring committees for clinical trials  . It has been my experience that many persons asked to serve on data-monitoring committees have scientific or clinical expertise relevant to the trial, but have little or no understanding of the purpose of the data-monitoring committee  . Such individuals would greatly benefit from reading this book prior to serving on a data-monitoring committee, as would anyone wishing to gain some insight into the responsibilities and challenges facing data-monitoring committees." (S. W. Lagakos, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 26 (1), 2006)
"The chapters are clearly written, and the take-home lessons are apparent. The 70 contributing authors represent a full range of perspectives on data monitoring and give balanace to the exposition. ...In summary, the book achieves its goal and deserves a place in every medical school's library." (J. Wade Davis, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102, No. 477, 2007)
"This book is highly recommended for anyone who starts to serve on a DMC or is already a member of such a board, and also for people in academia, industry, and regulatory agencies as well as for students in biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trails, and medical ethics." Iris Pigeot, Biometrics, December 2006)
"This book illustrates the complexity of data monitoring processes through a series of case studies presented by many distinguished clinical trial experts.  A total of 29 case studies have been discussed.  This book would be quite useful for the researchers, investigators and individuals serving on the DMC, or planning to do so, who would like to understand the application of data monitoring principles in clinical trials. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I think it has served its purpose 


Product Description

Randomized clinical trials are the gold standard for establishing many clinical practice guidelines and are central to evidence based medicine. Obtaining the best evidence through clinical trials must be done within the boundaries of rigorous science and ethical principles. One fundamental principle is that trials should not continue longer than necessary to reach their objectives. Therefore, trials must be monitored for recruitment progress, quality of data, adherence to patient care or prevention standards, and early evidence of benefit or harm. Frequently, a group of external experts, independent from the investigators and trial sponsor, is charged with this monitoring responsibility, especially for safety and early benefit. This group is referred to by various names, such as a data monitoring committee or a data and safety monitoring board. This book, through a series of case studies presented by many distinguished clinical trial experts, illustrates the complexity of this monitoring process. The editors provide an overview of the process and a summary of a multitude of the lessons learned from the cases presented.
This book should be useful to anyone serving on a data and safety monitoring board, or planning to do so, for colleagues in academia, industry and governmental agencies, and for teaching students in biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trials and medical ethics. No other text has as extensive a collection of cases which provide insight into the many issues, often conflicting, that must be examined before recommendations to continue or discontinue a trial can be made. While depth in statistical methods is not required, some familiarity with statistical design and analysis issues in clinical trials is helpful. The cases cover trials which were terminated early for convincing evidence of benefit, or for harmful effects. Cases with complex issues are also included. This series of cases should provide broad background information for potential monitoring committee members and better prepare them for the challenges that may exist in the trials for which they are responsible.
The three editors have contributed two overview chapters as well as several case studies to go along with cases contributed by a distinguished group of colleagues experienced in the design, monitoring and analysis of clinical trials. Dr. David DeMets is currently Professor and Chair, Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is past president of the Eastern North American Region (ENAR) of the International Biometric Society, a past member of the Board of Directors of the American Statistical Association and an elected Fellow. He recently received the Robert Gordon Lectureship Award, given by the National Institutes of Health, for significant contributions to the field of clinical trials. Dr. Curt Furberg, is currently Professor (and former Chair) of the Department of Public Health Sciences at Wake Forest University. Previously, he was Head of the Clinical Trials Branch and Associate Director of the Clinical Applications and Prevention Program at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Dr. Lawrence Friedman is a former Director of the Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications and a former Assistant Director for Ethics and Clinical Research at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. All three are past presidents of the Society of Clinical Trials. The editors have collaborated previously as coauthors of a text: the Fundamentals of Clinical Trials.
