Paolo Paolo: 1830 books

First book to discuss the analysis of structural steel connections by Finite Element Analysis—which provides fast, efficient, and flexible checking of these vital structural components The analysis of steel structures is complex—much more so than the analysis of similar concrete structures....

A detailed description of the technique in question, listing present and potential indications as well as the differences that arise from using different MR systems. The authors discuss the results in different clinical settings, referring to the relevant illustrations.

Uncommon tumors of the pancreas are of increasing interest for clinicians: cross imaging techniques development makes it possible to detect small lesions in the pancreatic gland of asymptomatic patients, and in the last decades a more detailed and specific pathological classification definitivelyopened...

La verità sulle stragi è a portata di mano. I “misteri” della nostra storia recente non possono più dirsi tali: restano soltanto accertamenti da completare, silenzi omertosi da sciogliere. E conclusioni da trarre, anche quando non gradite. I materiali raccolti nell’ambito dei processi per...

One thing that is striking about the Catholic Church is its permanence. As an organization, the Church has survived cultural changes and varying political scenarios and is even now adapting with no major resistance to the new information technologies. Roman Catholicism still creates a sort of fascination...

Statistical mechanics has been proven to be successful at describing physical systems at thermodynamic equilibrium. Since most natural phenomena occur in nonequilibrium conditions, the present challenge is to find suitable physical approaches for such conditions: this book provides a pedagogical pathway...

Our understanding of the physical world was revolutionized in the twentieth century — the era of “modern physics”. The book Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations, aimed at the very best students, presents the foundations and frontiers of today's physics. Typically, students...

This distinctive textbook aims to introduce readers to the basic structures of the mechanics of deformable bodies, with a special emphasis on the description of the elastic behavior of simple materials and structures composed by elastic beams.  The authors take a deductive rather than inductive approach...

In the best-case scenario, the round trip to the summit will give you a lesson. This guide is much more than a manual for alpinists; it is a series of essential premises for those who embark on the adventure of accomplishing a real inner change.

Ovidio morì duemila anni fa relegato da Augusto sul Mar Nero. Non riuscì mai a comprenderne il perché. Forse Le Metamorfosi, il suo più ampio poema, spaventarono il Principe: ispirato com’è all’idea, modernissima, che nulla nell’universo è stabile, ma tutto dall’eternità muta e muterà....

Testardi, stupidi, ignoranti. Non sono certo lusinghieri gli aggettivi attribuiti all'asino. Eppure quasi nessun animale ha svolto un ruolo tanto importante in contesti così diversi: in sella a un asino Gesù fece il suo ingresso a Gerusalemme e l’asino di Buridano è assurto a paradigma filosofico...

La perla è splendida e preziosa. Nasce dal dolore. Nasce quando un’ostrica viene ferita da qualcosa d’estraneo. In quel momento la conchiglia, per proteggere il proprio corpo indifeso, inizia ad avvolgere il male che è entrato in lei con la madreperla. Alla fine si sarà formata una bella perla,...

Geomorphological Mapping: a professional handbook of techniques and applications is a new book targeted at academics and practitioners who use, or wish to utilise, geomorphological mapping within their work. Synthesising for the first time an historical perspective to geomorphological mapping, field...

Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries describes the synthesis and the chemical–physical characteristics of iron phosphates, and presents methods of making LiFePO4 a suitable cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The author studies carbon’s ability to increase...
