Anomalous transport; foundations and applications.9783527407224 Anomalous transport; foundations and applications. Ed. by Rainer Klages et al. Wiley-VCH 2008 584 pages $175.00 Hardcover QC718 In these 18 chapter/articles, international experts take a multidisciplinary approach multidisciplinary approach A term referring to the philosophy of converging multiple specialties and/or technologies to establish a diagnosis or effect a therapy in both theory and applications. Topics include an introduction to fractional derivatives, random processes with infinite moments, the theory of Levy flights, fractional diffusion models of anomalous transport, anomalous kinetics, breaking mathematical aspects of anomalous transport in Hamiltonian systems, anomalous heat conduction Heat conduction or thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and hence acts to even out temperature differences. , anomalous relaxation in complex systems, anomalous transport in glass-flowing liquids, subdiffusion-limited reactions, anomalous transport on disordered fractals, theoretical concepts and physical applications of superstatistics, money circulation science, molecular displacement in porous media and polymers probed by nuclear magnetic resonance nuclear magnetic resonance: see magnetic resonance. nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Selective absorption of very high-frequency radio waves by certain atomic nuclei subjected to a strong stationary magnetic field. , anomalous molecular dynamics Molecular dynamics (MD) is a form of computer simulation wherein atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time under known laws of physics, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. in confined spaces, high-speed single molecule tracking that reveals the partitioning of the cell membrane Cell membrane The membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; it is also called the plasma membrane or, in a more general sense, a unit membrane. This is a very thin, semifluid, sheetlike structure made of four continuous monolayers of molecules. . Dedicated to the memory of Radu Balescu, a leading light in the field.
