50 descubrimientos, ideas y conceptos en astronoma / 50 discoveries, ideas and concepts in astronomy

This comprehensive series of volumes on inorganic chemistry provides inorganic chemists with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Every volume reports recent progress with a significant, up-to-date selection of papers by internationally recognized researchers, complemented by detailed discussions and complete documentation. Each volume features a complete subject index and the series includes a cumulative index as well.

Esta obra introduce al lector en un campo de la investigacion que se halla en continua expansion. La existencia del caos determinista, la aparicion de objetos fractales en la naturaleza o nuestra incapacidad de predecir el futuro, pese a disponer de modelos deterministas, se exponen de forma coherente y a un alto nivel. Asimismo, se analizan con profundidad, mediante diversas aproximaciones teoricas, la aparicion de la complejidad y su cuantificacion, asi como sus implicaciones en campos tan dispares como la evolucion y las extinciones, la dinamica de selvas o de virus emergentes

The findings reported in this book on the methods of cluster measurements will lead to new avenues using nondestructive mass spectrometry and dipole mass isomers. Much attention is given to the physics and chemistry of fullerenes and nanotubes, including the problems surrounding the formation and growth of nanotubes, electron characteristics of fullerenes, the influence of solvents, simulation of the properties of carbon clusters, etc. Some unique experimental data on the conversion of aerosols into aerogels with the formation of fractal structures is provided. In addition, the book covers...
