The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to ...

The science of magnetically confined plasmas covers the entire spectrum of physics from classical and relativistic electrodynamics to quantum mechanics. During the last sixty years of research, our ...

This book on quantum optics is from the point of view of an experimentalist. It approaches the theory of quantum optics with the language of optical modes of classical wave theory, with which ...

Hörmander operators are a class of linear second order partial differential operators with nonnegative characteristic form and smooth coefficients, which are usually degenerate elliptic-parabolic, but ...

This book provides us with important concepts in coastal engineering, their applications to coastal processes and disaster prevention works. It is designed for graduate students pursuing advanced ...

Despite a long tradition of sophisticated, creative materials synthesis among quantum materials researchers, a sense of broader community has been lacking. In initiating the Fundamentals of Quantum ...

From the point of view of mechanics, this monograph systematically demonstrates the theory of plastic bending and its engineering applications; most of the contents of the book are based on the ...

World Scientific warmly congratulates our esteemed author Philippe Aghion for being jointly awarded the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. To celebrate this ...

In the analysis of large-scale, censored survival data streams, traditional estimation techniques often become computationally infeasible and fail to achieve real-time processing capabilities. To ...

The three-dimensional stochastic vehicle–bridge coupled vibration model is developed in this study to systematically investigate the combined effects of wind, wave, and stochastic traffic. The ...
