New research on children's executive functioning and self-regulation has begun to reveal important connections to their developing social understanding (or "theories of mind") and emotional competence. The exact nature of the relations between these aspects of children's social and emotional development is, however, far from being fully understood. Considerable disagreement has emerged, for instance, over the question of whether executive functioning facilitates social-emotional understanding, or vice versa. Recent studies linking the development of children's social understanding with aspects of their interpersonal relationships also raise concerns about the particular role that social interaction plays in the development of executive function. Three key questions currently drive this debate: Does social interaction play a role in the development of executive function or, more generally, self-regulation? If it does play a role, what forms of social interaction facilitate the development of executive function? Do different patterns of interpersonal experience differentially affect the development of self-regulation and social understanding? In this book, the contributors address these questions and explore other emerging theoretical and empirical links between self-regulation, social interaction, and children's psycho-social competence. It will be a valuable resource for student and professional researchers interested in executive function, emotion, and social development.

In crystal chemistry and crystal physics, the relations between the symmetry groups (space groups) of crystalline solids are of special importance. Part 1 of this book presents the necessary mathematical foundations and tools: the fundamentals of crystallography with special emphasis on symmetry, the theory of the crystallographic groups, and the formalisms of the needed crystallographic computations. Part 2 gives an insight into applications to problems in crystal chemistry. With the aid of numerous examples, it is shown how crystallographic group theory can be used to make evident relationships between crystal structures, to set up a systematic order in the huge amount of known crystal structures, to predict crystal structures, to analyse phase transitions and topotactic reactions in the solid state, to understand the formation of domains and twins in crystals, and to avoid errors in crystal structure determinations. A broad range of end-of-chapter exercises offers the possibility to apply the learned material. Worked-out solutions to the exercises can be found at the end of the book.

The essential introduction to the understanding of the structure of inorganic solids and materials. This revised and updated 2nd Edition looks at new developments and research results within Structural Inorganic Chemistry in a number of ways, special attention is paid to crystalline solids, elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms within a chemical compound. Structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids are described through traditional concepts, modern bond-theoretical theories, as well as taking symmetry as a leading principle.

Inorganic Structural Chemistry

Concentrates on general principles and laws, featuring both traditional foundations and modern developments. Coverage includes a description of crystal structures; thermodynamic and kinetic stability; Van der Waals radii; compounds with complex ions; modern bond theory and much more. Contains a significant amount of illustrative models and problem sets.

Inorganic Chemistry The aim of this series of textbooks is to reflect the breadth of modern research in inorganic chemistry and to fulfil the need for texts in advanced areas. The series will cover the whole range of inorganic chemistry with the publication of books in general and physical chemistry, solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. Inorganic Structural Chemistry Ulrich Müller Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Kassel, Germany Inorganic Structural Chemistry deals with the elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms in a compound. The book describes the structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids using traditional concepts as well as modern approaches. It also includes the systematic ordering of the recognized structure types and the disclosure of relationships amongst them. Relations of structures and properties are also discussed. Contents: How to describe chemical structures; phase diagrams; the interplay of chemical bonding-energy-structure; factors governing the structure of ionic compounds, molecules and metals; chemical bonding in solids—band theory; structure of the elements; structural principles of polyanionic, polycationic and cluster compounds; sphere packings in metals and compounds; solid state structures seen as arrays of linked polyhedra and as sphere packings with occupied interstices; physical properties of solids; symmetry as an ordering principle of crystal structures.

This book discusses the use of aluminium in structural and non-structural applications and provides an introduction to designing structures made from aluminium or aluminium alloy elements. It provides a complete ready reference to the material properties and behavior of aluminium, and its use in structural design. In the context of information about the material itself, fabrication, structural design and corrosion, structural analysis, serviceability, element design and fatigue the author considers the strengths of designing with aluminium alloy members and how any weaknesses can be overcome. Reference is made throughout to EN 1999, Eurocode 9, and its design methods are discussed and illustrated. With most of its structural strength properties close to steel and with consideration for the special properties of aluminium alloys, there is considerable scope to make better use of this material in construction. Many years of working with aluminium have provided the author with the knowledge to avoid pitfalls and problems in design, fabrication and protection of structures, thus avoiding costly remedial work.
