Superconductors(1st Edition) by A. V. Narlikar, Clayton David Hardcover, 496 Pages, Published 2014 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-958411-6, ISBN: 0-19-958411-7
"Superconductors is neither about basic aspects of superconductivity nor about its applications, but its mainstay is superconducting materials. Unusual and unconventional features of a large variety of novel superconductors are presented and their technological potential as practical superconductors assessed. The book begins with an introduction to basic aspects of superconductivity. The presentation is readily accessible to readers from ..."
"This handbook is about a remarkable set of materials that are technically referred to as "mesoscopic superconductors", which for all practical purposes are tiny or small in their dimensions, ranging from a few micrometers down to a nanometer. At this level of smallness, the superconducting properties are dramatically changed, showing the dominance of quantum effects. Ground breaking research studies of small superconductors have emerged ..."
"The need to negotiate effectively with India is only growing as its power rises. Understanding the negotiating culture wherein India's bargaining behaviour is embedded forms a crucial step to facilitate this process. In the literature on international negotiation, experimental studies point to specific behavioural characteristics of Indian negotiators. Empirical analyses confirm these findings, and many suggest that the sources of India ..."
"The World Trade Organization (WTO) is scarcely ten years old, but even in these early years of its existence it has generated debate, controversy and even outrage. Rulings on beef hormones and tuna-dolphin cases provide graphic examples of how the organization regulates and intrudes into areas of individual consumer choice, ethical preferences, and cultural habits. This deep and far-ranging impact of the WTO on peoples' everyday lives m ..."

"This is an agenda-setting and high-profile book that presents an authoritative and cutting-edge analysis of nanoscience and technology. The Oxford Handbook of Nanoscience and Technology provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the major achievements in different aspects of this field. The Handbook comprises 3 volumes, structured thematically, with 25 chapters each. Volume I presents fundamental issues of basic physics, chemis ..."
"This Golden Jubilee volume in the world's foremost series on superconductivity covers wide-ranging topics capturing the current excitement in the field. The broad areas include the advancement of high Tc theory, materials depicting unusual characteristics, materials' processing and defect structures for improved properties, their electromagnetic response, flux pinning, Josephson junctions and devices, and large scale applications."
"The mainstay of this book is the progress made in the field of Josephson Junction Arrays. Both experimental and theoretical developments are presented in thirteen chapters, written by some of the very eminent and most active researchers in the field. In all, there are 28 contributors to the present volume, from 11 different countries and thus keeping up with the international character of the series."

"This discovery provided the first quaternary intermetallic superconducting
material giving a new direction in superconductivity as superconductivity in an
intermetallic with four elements was not known prior to this work. While our further
efforts were in progress to isolate the single phase material, Cava et of., [18]
reported superconductivity in multiphase Y-Pd-B-C with Tc~23 K and in single
phase materials of the composition RN ..."
"With the discovery of high Tc ceramic compounds, superconductivity has evolved into a rich and highly competitive field of research of not just condensed matter physics and chemistry but also of diverse engineering disciplines like ceramics, metallurgy and microelectronics. Clearly, significant advances in research and applications of HTSCs are expected only through consolidated efforts requiring among others, the best possible awarenes ..."

"The astronomical community is wrongly interpreting cosmological data by using the standard Big Bang Model. In this highly controversial volume, three distinguished cosmologists argue this premise with persuasion and conviction. Starting with the beginnings of modern cosmology, they conduct a deep and wide review of the observations made from 1945 to the present, explaining what they regard as the defects and inconsistencies that exist ..."
