Advanced Mobile Communications by Peter Jung offers a comprehensive exploration of wireless quantum optical communications. Drawing on the author’s more than three decades of university teaching experience, it seamlessly bridges foundational quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics with cutting-edge developments like decoherence and quantum teleportation. It provides rigorous treatment of coherent and thermal radiation, single-path and multipath transmission, optimum quantum data...

Chemical Processes Fundamentals provides essential foundational knowledge in thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and chemical reaction engineering. It equips readers with the tools necessary for a rational understanding of chemical processes and the unit operations that comprise them. Key topics include thermodynamic principles for pure fluids and mixtures, material and energy balances, reaction equilibrium (including systems with useful work), phase equilibrium in...

This is an annotated collection of over 200 open problems in combinatorial group theory. One can say that most of the problems are closer in spirit to the "purely combinatorial" group theory. However, the authors included several problems with geometric flavour where they felt this was natural. Approximately 20 years ago, a new direction in group theory began to emerge...

This book explores cryptographic techniques by integrating Elliptic and Jacobian Elliptic Curve Cryptography with Ancient Indian Mathematics, optimising security and computational efficiency. As digital security becomes vital, the rich mathematical heritage of ancient India offers profound insights into cryptography, bridging historical wisdom with cutting-edge security solutions. Cryptographic Algorithms uses key frameworks such as algebra, analysis, and optimisation to enhance point...

Energy and Sustainable Development is a textbook designed to make the complex topic of electricity generation accessible by explaining it in plain English, ensuring that even those without an engineering background can easily understand the content. The book provides a valuable framework for integrating sustainability into international development projects within the energy sector. Drawing from examples in Africa, it vividly...

Most modern textbooks on partial differential equations either contain proofs of fundamental results only in special cases, or proof outlines, or do not contain proofs at all. This textbook, despite its relatively small volume, provides all the main results with complete proofs. The foundation for the material in the textbook is the functional approach associated with the concept of a...

Physical Chemistry of Polymers, now in its third and improved edition, introduces its concepts in a format targeted for a blended-learning approach. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure and properties...

Polymers, Colloids, and Surface Chemistry are interconnected areas that play significant roles in the development and functionality of various products and technologies. The book helps to address issues related to material performance, stability, and interactions. It begins with an introduction to polymers, covering their history, classification, nomenclature, molecular weight, and industrial significance. The chemistry of polymerization is then discussed in...
