| Title | Total Hip Replacement (THR) : Effect of Inclination and Anteversion Angle on the Performance of Epoxy-UHMWPE Acetabular Cup |
| Author(s) | Manap, Muhammad Faris bin Abd;Shuib, Solehuddin;Romli, Ahmad Zafir |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XVII, 94 p. 52 illus., 39 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book highlights the critical challenges faced in total hip replacement (THR) procedures, particularly concerning the performance and longevity of acetabular components. Despite advancements in implant technology, issues such as improper orientation and material failure continue to result in complications, including dislocation and wear. Recognizing the need for more reliable solutions, this book explores the optimization of safe zone orientation and the development of composite materials, specifically focusing on metal-on-polymer (MoP) implants. By investigating these factors through numerical analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), and experimental studies, the book seeks to enhance implant performance, reduce failure rates, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in THR surgeries |

| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XI, 167 p. 110 illus., 87 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book applies approaches of nonlinear continuum mechanics used to model fracture and failures in soft materials. Two physical observations underlie mathematical theories described in this book. First, the energy of molecular bonds is bounded and, consequently, the macroscopic strain energy must be bounded. Second, the broken bonds are diffused and, consequently, highly localized material sink takes place. The first observation allows describing material failure as the damage initiation. The second observation allows modeling cracks as damage localization and propagation. This book builds on the experiences of ???Soft Matter Mechanics??? by Konstantin Volokh |

| Title | Reading the Mind of God : Johannes Kepler and the Reform of Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Davis, A.E.L;Field, J. V;Mahoney, T. J |
| Publication | Dordrecht, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Netherlands, 2024. |
| Description | XXIX, 405 p. 109 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume provides a wide-ranging introduction to Kepler???s work, with essays on his religion, his cosmological theories, his work in astronomy, astrology, optics and mathematics and his interactions with Tycho Brahe and Galileo Galilei. Kepler is a major figure in the history of science. His laws of planetary motion overthrew a tradition, going back as far as the ancient Greeks, of constructing the paths of planets by combinations of circles; and the derivation of the laws was revolutionary in the way it relied upon detailed agreement with observations. Moreover, the laws explicitly relate the motion and path of each planet to the Sun. Thus, when the tables that Kepler based upon the laws proved to be highly reliable over many decades, this played a crucial part in making heliocentrism acceptable. And many years after Kepler???s death the laws themselves played an important part in Newton???s derivation of the inverse square law of gravitation in his Principia (1687). In this respect, Kepler can look ???modern???. But his work is grounded in his religious belief that the Universe is the visible expression of the nature of the God who created it. This book, whose chapters are written by leading scholars, is primarily addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of science and the history of science but will also appeal to the general reader with an interest in the history of science |

| Title | Computational Fluid Dynamics : Finite Difference Method and Lattice Boltzmann Method |
| Author(s) | Hou, Guoxiang;Chen, Caikan;Qin, Shenglei;Gao, Yuan;Wang, Kai |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 259 p. 104 illus., 53 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to several basic methods with more attention to their theoretical basis and applications in fluid dynamics. Furthermore, some new ideas are presented in this book, for example, a method to solve the transition matrix by difference operator transformation. For this method, the book gives the definition of Fourier integral transformation of translation operator, and proves the transition matrix equaling to the differential operator transformation, so that it is extended to general situations of explicit, implicit, multi-layer difference equations, etc. This flexible approach is also used in the differential part. In addition, the book also includes six types of equivalent stability definitions in two ways and deeply analyzes their errors, stabilities and convergences of the difference equations. What is more important, some new scientific contributions on lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in recent years are presented in the book as well. The authors write the book combining their ten years teaching experience and research results and this book is intended for graduate students who are interested in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Authors list some new research achievements, such as simplified lattice Boltzmann method, the simplified lattice Boltzmann flux solver and discrete unified gas kinetic scheme, and expect that this new information could give readers possible further investigating ideas in their future research on CFD area |

| Title | Solved Problems and Systematic Introduction to Special Relativity |
| Author(s) | Tsamparlis, Michael |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XX, 485 p. 65 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In most undergraduate physics classes Special Relativity is taught from a simplistic point of view using Newtonian concepts rather than the relativistic way of thinking. This results in students often finding it difficult to understand properly the new approach/new ideas, and consequently to solve relativistic problems. Furthermore, a number of books treat the theory using advanced mathematics which is not necessary for the first approach to the theory. This book is intended to serve two roles: a. To treat a student in a systematic constructive way to the basic structure of the theory and b. To provide a large number of solved in-detail problems in the kinematics and dynamics of Special Relativity. Concerning the first aim the book introduces the basics of four-dimensional mathematics, i.e., Lorentz metric, relativistic tensors, and prepares, through working examples, the transition to General Relativity, which requires, besides the relativistic concepts, the use of Differential Geometry and tensor analysis. The presentation is concise and does not replace a book on Special Relativity. Concerning the second intention the large number of problems provides the necessary material which can be used in order to familiarize the student with the relativistic ???world???. These problems can be used in the class by the teachers either as working examples or as problem sheets. It will be our pleasure if the book will be useful to both students and teachers |

| Title | Computational Optical Imaging : Principle and Technology |
| Author(s) | Liu, Zhengjun;Zhou, Xuyang;Liu, Shutian |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | VIII, 415 p. 210 illus., 169 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book highlights a comprehensive introduction to the principles and calculation methods of computational optical imaging. Integrating optical imaging and computing technology to achieve significant performance improvements, computational optical imaging has become an active research field in optics. It has given rise to the emerging of new concepts such as computational imaging, computational measurement and computational photography. As high-performance image detectors make image measurements discrete and digital, images are mostly recorded in the form of discrete data, almost replacing the continuous medium used for pattern recording. Computational optical imaging technology has become an effective way for people to study microscopic imaging. At present, different imaging systems are composed of continuous optical elements such as lenses and prisms or discrete optical elements such as spatial light modulators or digital micro-mirror devices. The current computing technology has permeated all aspects of imaging systems and gradually promotes the digitization of optical imaging systems. This book summarizes the representative work done in this field and introduces the latest results. Computing technology plays an important bridging role between theories of optics and experimental systems, which inspires more comprehensive and in-depth research. It has the advantages of high repeatability, flexibility, strong computing power and low cost. In this multidisciplinary field, researchers in computer science, optics and information science have joined together to extend its depth and breadth. Targeting cutting-edge issues to be solved in computational optics, this book introduces a variety of methods that involve theoretical innovations and technical breakthroughs in imaging resolution, the field of view, imaging speed, and computing speed. It intends to provide a handy reference and technical support for graduate students, researchers and professionals engaged in the study and practice of computational optical imaging |

| Title | Walking with Christiaan Huygens : From Archimedes' Influence to Unsung Contributions in Modern Science |
| Author(s) | Moser, Tijmen Jan;Robinson, Enders Anthony |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXXI, 315 p. 158 illus., 56 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) left an indelible mark on the fields of mathematics, physics, astronomy, and geophysics. Despite his groundbreaking contributions, history has often overlooked his pivotal role. While two of the most famous achievements in physics are Newton???s theory of gravity and Einstein???s general theory of relativity, less well-known is that Huygens provided central elements to these theories. This book stands to correct that deficit. For example, we show how Huygens used symmetry arguments to derive conservation laws for momentum and for energy, and what Einstein later called the principle of equivalence to derive the formula for centrifugal force. In 1689, Huygens visited Newton. Together, they walked the streets of London. Newton had recently finished his masterpiece, Principia, expounding his laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. Huygens had essentially completed his life???s work by then, building on Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Descartes, Fermat, Pascal and his own ingenuity. He had established fame as an instrument maker (telescope, pendulum clock, planetarium). He had invented the 31 tone system. He had pioneered the first principles of remote sensing. He had discovered the rings of Saturn. He had formulated the wave theory of light. What would walking with Christiaan reveal? This book gives the result in nine chapters, namely: spontaneous order, the speed of light, Huygens??? principle, the telescope, the pendulum clock, Huygens-Fresnel principle, special relativity, centrifugal force, and curvature. In addition, there is a chapter titled What Huygens could have written on diffraction, and a chapter titled Huygens and Geophysics. Mentally walking with Christiaan, browsing his collected works ??? a true treasure trove for puzzle enthusiasts ??? and rethinking his ideas creates a vivid impression of scientific life in the 17th century, an appreciation that it is remarkably similar to ours, and an understanding of Huygens' significant and lasting contributions to science |
