It seeks to integrate methodologies of the study …

A detailed approach to model transport, heterogeneous chemistry, and electroc…

This book lays out a numerical framework for the detailed description of heterogeneous chemistry, electrochemistry and porous media transport in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Assuming hydrogen as the only electrochemically active species, a modified Butler-Volmer equation is used to model the electrochemical charge transfer.

A Dark Trace: Sigmund Freud on the Sense of Guilt

The sense of guilt is indeed a trace that leads deep into the individual's mental life, into his childhood life, and into the prehistory of culture and religion. In this book thi…
