Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics clearly and thoroughly promotes intuitive understanding of the developments of the principal fusion programs, including ITER, and the relevant fundamental and advanced plasma physics associated with each program. The book first discusses the basics of controlled fusion research, followed by discussions on tokamaks, reversed field pinch, stellarators, and mirrors. The text then explores ideal magnetohydrodynamic instabilities, resistive instabilities, the Boltzmann equation, the Vlasov equation, and Landau damping. After covering dielectric tensors of cold and hot plasmas, the author describes the physical mechanisms of wave heating and noninductive current drive as well as plasma transport by turbulence.

Foundations of Electroheat by A. C. Metaxas, ISBN 0471956449

Foundations of Electroheat unifies an extremely diverse area of electricity utilisation in a coherent and concise reference. From laser welding to plasma furnaces for waste treatment and induction heating for forging to radio frequency drying textiles, the various topics that comprise electroheat are presented as a whole. The unified approach concentrates on three major themes:

The impact of computers on electrotechnology is explored by considering topics such as expert systems, neural networks and computational electromagnetics. Featuring industrial applications and case studies, as well as worked examples of the principles involved, this text is essential reading for... Foundations of Electroheat by A. C.

A Million Truths: A Decade in China by Linda Jakobson, ISBN 0871319195

Income levels have risen sharply in China during the last two decades. Although just 2% of all Chinese have hot running water, virtually all households have televisions. This personal, intelligent book addresses these sweeping changes and how they are forming modern China. A Million Truths: A Decade in China by Linda Jakobson, ISBN 0871319195

Competitive Markov Decision Processes by Jerzy A. Filar, ISBN 0387948058

This book is devoted to a unified treatment of Competitive Markov Decision Processes. It examines these processes from the standpoints of modeling and of optimization, providing newcomers to the field with an accessible account of algorithms, theory, and applications, while also supplying specialists with a comprehensive survey of recent developments. The treatment is self-contained, requiring only some knowledge of linear algebra and real analysis. Topics covered include: Mathematical programming: Markov decision processes (the non-competitive case), and stochastic games via mathematical programming.- Existence, structure and applications: Summable stochastic games, average-reward stochastic games and applications and special classes of stochastic games.- Appendices on: matrix games, bimatrix games and nonlinear programming; a theorem of Hardy and Littlewood; Markov chains; and complex varieties and the limit discount equation.
