A Practical Guide to Observational Astronomy

A Practical Guide to Observational Astronomy

A Practical Guide to Observational Astronomy provides a practical and accessible introduction to the ideas and concepts that are essential to making and analyzing astronomical observations. A key emphasis of the book is on how modern astronomy would be impossible without the extensive use of computers both for the control of astronomical instruments and the subsequent data analysis. Astronomers now need to use software to access and assess the data they produce so understanding how to use computers to control equipment and analyze data is as crucial to modern astronomers as a telescope. Therefore this book contains an array of practical problems for readers to test their knowledge in addition to a wealth of examples and tutorials using Python on the author’s website where readers can download and create image processing scripts. This is an excellent study guide or textbook for an observational astronomy course for advanced undergraduate and graduate astronomy and physics students familiar with writing and running simple Python scripts. Key Features Contains the latest developments and technologies from astronomical observatories and telescope facilities on the ground and in space Accompanied by a companion website with examples tutorials Python scripts and resources Authored by an observational astronomer with over thirty years of observing and teaching experience About the Author M. Shane Burns earned his BA in physics at UC San Diego in 1979. He began graduate work at UC Berkeley in 1979 where he worked on an automated search for nearby supernovae. After being awarded a PhD in 1985 Professor Burns became a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wyoming. He spent the summer of 1988 as a visiting scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab where he helped found the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP). He continued to work as a member of the SCP group while a faculty member at Harvey Mudd College the US Air Force Academy and Colorado College. The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to the leader of the SCP for the group’s discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae.

Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

The design of structures in general and prestressed concrete structures in particular requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and in doing so provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel with numerous worked examples. However where the design requirements are code specific this book refers to the provisions of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009) and where possible the notation is the same as in AS3600-2009. A parallel volume is written to Eurocode 2 the European Standard for the Design of Concrete Structures. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want a comprehensive guide to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition but the content has been extensively reorganised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; and connections and detailing. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. The authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for more than 35 years and this updated edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Ian Gilbe. | Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

While the relevant features and properties of nanosystems necessarily depend on nanoscopic details their performance resides in the macroscopic world. To rationally develop and accurately predict performance of these systems we must tackle problems where multiple length and time scales are coupled. Rather than forcing a single modeling approach to predict an event it was not designed for a new paradigm must be employed: multiscale modeling. A brilliant solution to a pervasive problem Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices offers a number of approaches for which more than one scale is explicitly considered. It provides several alternatives from coarse-graining sampling of the atomic and mesoscale to Monte Carlo- and thermodynamic-based models that allow sampling of increasingly large scales up to multiscale models able to describe entire devices. Beginning with common techniques for coarse-graining the book discusses their theoretical background advantages and limitations. It examines the application-dependent parameterization characteristics of coarse-graining along with the finer-trains-coarser multiscale approach and describes three carefully selected examples in which the parameterization although based on the same principles depends on the actual application. The book considers the use of ab initio and density functional theory to obtain parameters needed for larger scale models the alternative use of density functional theory parameters in a Monte Carlo method and the use of ab initio and density functional theory as the atomistic technique underlying the calculation of thermodynamics properties of alloy phase stability. Highlighting one of the most challenging tasks for multiscale modelers Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices also presents modeling for nanocomposite materials using the embedded fiber finite element method (EFFEM). It emphasizes an ensemble Monte Carlo method to high field-charge transport problems and demonstrates the practical application of modern many-body quantum theories.
