Biaxial Nematic Liquid Crystals. Theory, Simulation and Experiment
In the nematic liquid crystal phase, rod-shaped molecules move randomly but remain essentially parallel to one another. Biaxial nematics, which were first predicted in 1970 by Marvin Freiser, have their molecules differentially oriented along two axes. They have the potential to create displays with fast switching times and may have applications in thin-film displays and other liquid crystal technologies. This book is the first to be concerned solely with biaxial nematic liquid crystals, both lyotropic and thermotropic, formed by low molar mass as well as polymeric systems. It opens with a general introduction to the biaxial nematic phase and covers: • Order parameters and distribution functions • Molecular field theory • Theories for hard biaxial particles • Computer simulation of biaxial nematics • Alignment of the phase • Display applications • Characterisation and identification • Lyotropic, thermotropic and colloidal systems together with material design With a consistent, coherent and pedagogical approach, this book brings together theory, simulations and experimental studies; it includes contributions from some of the leading figures in the field. It is relevant to students and researchers as well as to industry professionals working in soft matter, liquid crystals, liquid crystal devices and their applications throughout materials science, chemistry, physics, mathematics and display engineering.

Ecoacoustics. The Ecological Role of Sounds
The sounds produced by geophonic, biophonic and technophonic sources are relevant to the function of natural and human modified ecosystems. Passive recording is one of the most non-invasive technologies as its use avoids human intrusion during acoustic surveys and facilitates the accumulation of huge amounts of acoustical data. For the first time, this book collates and reviews the science behind ecoaucostics; illustrating the principles, methods and applications of this exciting new field. Topics covered in this comprehensive volume include; the assessment of biodiversity based on sounds emanating from a variety of environments the best technologies and methods necessary to investigate environmental sounds implications for climate change and urban systems the relationship between landscape ecology and ecoacoustics the conservation of soundscapes and the social value of ecoacoustics areas of potential future research. An invaluable resource for scholars, researchers and students, Ecoacoustics: The Ecological Role of Sounds provides an unrivalled set of ideas, tools and references based on the current state of the field.
Engaging Imagination. Helping Students Become Creative and Reflective Thinkers
How to nurture creativity in tomorrow’s innovators—today’s college students When asked what they want colleges to emphasize most, employers didn’t put science, computing, math, or business management first. According to AAC&U’s 2013 employer survey, 95% of employers give hiring preference to college graduates with skills that will enable them to contribute to innovation in the workplace. In Engaging Imagination: Helping Students Become Creative and Reflective Thinkers, two leading educators help college instructors across disciplines engage students in nurturing creativity and innovation for success beyond the classroom. Alison James, an expert in creative arts education, and Stephen D. Brookfield, bestselling author, outline how creative exploration can extend students’ reflective capabilities in a purposeful way, help them understand their own potential and learning more clearly, and imbue students with the freedom to generate and explore new questions. This book: shows why building creative skills pays dividends in the classroom and in students’ professional lives long after graduation; offers research-based, classroom-tested approaches to cultivating creativity and innovation in the college setting; provides practical tools for incorporating “play” into the college curriculum; draws on recent advances in the corporate sector where creative approaches have been adopted to reinvigorate thinking and problem-solving processes; and includes examples from a variety of disciplines and settings. Engaging Imagination is for college and university faculty who need to prepare students for the real challenges of tomorrow’s workplace.
Physik des Sports
Von Krafteparallelogramm und Impulserhaltungssatz zu sportlichen Hochstleistungen und Rekorden Sport ist angewandte Physik – wer hatte das vermutet? Bei naherem Hinsehen ist dieser Gedanke jedoch gar nicht so abwegig. Gerade sind wir zweifach fasziniert, wenn wir Profisportlern bei der >Arbeit< zusehen: Mit ihren trainierten Korpern fuhren sie scheinbar perfekte Bewegungsablaufe aus. Neuartige Materialien, eine verbesserte Ausrustung und ein durch Medizin und Sportwissenschaft geleitetes Training verhelfen Sportlerinnen und Sportlern zu immer besseren Leistungen. In der Tat finden keine Weltmeisterschaften und Olympischen Spiele ohne neue Rekorde statt. Doch wie lange noch ist das moglich? Ausgehend von soliden physikalischen Betrachtungen werden die Grenzen des menschlichen Konnens ausgelotet. Mit Physik zum Erfolg: Eine grundlegende Analyse vieler mechanischer Phanomene im Sport Die Autoren nahern sich der Physik des Sports von einem interdisziplinaren Standpunkt: Beginnend mit dem Einmaleins der Mechanik, berechnen sie optimale Werte fur Sprung und Wurf, um diese Gesetze dann auf den menschlichen Korper und praktische, sportartgebundene Gegebenheiten anzuwenden. Von Ballsport uber Gerateturnen bis hin zu Aktivitaten im Wasser belegen Mathelitsch und Thaller damit eindrucksvoll die Universalitat der Naturgesetze auch auf diesem Gebiet. Die Erwahnung moderner Methoden, wie die Videoanalyse von Spielzugen und mathematische Modellierung zur Simulation von Bewegungen, rundet das Buch ab. Nach dieser Lekture werden Sie das Sportprogramm mit anderen Augen sehen. Leopold Mathelitsch war Professor am Institut fur Physik und Leiter des Fachdidaktik-Zentrums Physik an der Universitat Graz. Seit 2014 ist er im Ruhestand. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte lagen in der theoretischen Teilchenphysik und liegen immer noch in physikdidaktischen Fragestellungen. Er ist Mitautor mehrerer Schulbucher sowie von Sachbuchern zu akustischen Themen. Sigrid Thaller ist au?erordentliche Professorin am Institut fur Sportwissenschaft und Leiterin der Doktoratsschule Sport- und Bewegungswissenschaften an der Universitat Graz. Die Themen ihrer Forschungsarbeit reichen von Modellierung menschlicher Bewegung uber Physik der Sportarten bis zum facherubergreifenden Unterricht Sport und Mathematik.
