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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This book covers the fundamentals of and new developments in gaseous Bose–Einstein condensation. It begins with a review of fundamental concepts and theorems, and introduces basic theories describi ...

“Periodically, the authors provide examples as to how the various equations can be used to make scour predictions. This practice is very helpful for the reader … In short, this is a well-written text ...

Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science and a discipline in the study of machine intelligence, that is, developing intelligent machines or intelligent systems imitating, extending and ...
