Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a concise introduction to the interactions between earthquakes and human-built structures (buildings, dams, bridges, power plants, pipelines and more). It focuses on the ways in which these interactions illustrate the application of basic physics principles and concepts, including inertia, force, shear, energy, acceleration, elasticity, friction and stability.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Electrostatic forces are essential for the hierarchical structure of matter: electrons are bound to the atomic nucleus by electrostatic forces; atoms carry (partial) charges and ions with opposite charges attract and form (chemical) bonds. Small residual electrostatic forces between molecules allow them to form macroscopic structures such as crystals. Electrostatics at the Molecular Level begins with the basics and then dives deeper into the topic, with the aim to familiarize the reader with electrostatic forces at the atomic and molecular level. The purpose of this text is not to ?nd the most accurate calculation of bond length and binding energies. It focusses, rather, on a discussion of appropriate scales (for mass, time and length, among others).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The second edition of this book continues to provide a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with emphasis on numerical examples. It includes revisions and additions to every section with new material, figures, improved notation, and new or enhanced computer resources. There is also a reorganization of the contents and new sections. The latter include material on transfer maps, thermodynamics of beams, additional aspects of envelope matching, betatron resonances and dispersion with space charge, closed orbits, and beam cooling. The appendix has been completely reorganized, revised and updated and now includes short descriptions of the map code MaryLie, and the particle-in-cell code Warp.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book demonstrates Microsoft EXCEL(R)-based Fourier transform of selected physics examples, as well as describing spectral density of the auto-regression process in relation to Fourier transform. Rather than offering rigorous mathematics, the book provides readers with an opportunity to gain an understanding of Fourier transform through the examples. They will acquire and analyze their own data following the step-by-step procedure outlined, and a hands-on acoustic spectral analysis is suggested as the ideal long-term student project.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Composed by a specialist in the field, Jian Liu, with contributions from a number of scientists and optical specialists, Elliptical Mirrors: Applications in microscopy discusses the importance of the elliptical mirror; the third solution in far-field optical imaging after parabolic reflectors and lenses for which apodization factors were established in 1921 and 1959 respectively. Elliptical mirrors are a new and novel technique within the world of optics and can be applied to industrial imaging, bioimaging X-ray photography and much more, and they will inevitably retain a significant role in the trend of microscopic development. This detailed and highly insightful book will be an important reference in a growing subject area that will benefit PhD students, optical physicists, metrologists and researchers who have an interest in the ever-growing science of optics. The original content in this book will give a unique insight into mirror system design and applications in industrial metrology and bioimaging. It discusses the original theory of elliptical mirrors and gives a fundamental and comprehensive theory behind them and their functions.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Replication, the independent confirmation of experimental results and conclusions, is regarded as the 'gold standard' in science. This book examines the question of successful or failed replications and demonstrates that answering that question is not always easy. It presents clear examples of successful replications - the discoveries of the Higgs boson and of gravity waves - and failed replications, including early experiments on the fifth force, a proposed modification of Newton's Law of universal gravitation and the measurements of 'G', the constant in that law. Other case studies illustrate some of the difficulties and complexities in deciding whether a replication is successful or failed. The text also discusses how that question has been answered. These studies include the 'discovery' of the pentaquark in the early 2000s and the continuing search for neutrinoless double beta decay and it argues that although successful replication is the goal of scientific experimentation, it is not always easily achieved.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Creating the Molecules of Life discusses origins, including the Big Bang and the origin of the elements. With a complete presentation and explanation, this book provides evidence that the molecules of life are produced in outer space and how the SNAAP model purports to explain that origin. Extremophiles, which explain that evolution is robust enough to create life forms in a wide variety of conditions, are also presented. This book is suitable for those at the upper undergraduate level, with mathematics associated with coupling the nuclear spins to the molecular chirality. An accompanying appendix is provided to support mathematics.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1813, Gauss first outlined his studies of the hypergeometric series, which has been of great significance in the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena. This detailed monograph outlines the fundamental relationships between the hypergeometric function and special functions. In nine comprehensive chapters, Rao and Lakshminarayanan present a unified approach to the study of special functions of mathematics using group theory. This book offers fresh insight into various aspects of special functions and their relationship, utilizing transformations and group theory and their applications. It will lay the foundation for deeper understanding for both experienced researchers and novice students.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Regenerative biology and medicine is a rapidly developing field that can revolutionize medicine. It is a nexus of convergent science, drawing from chemistry, physics, mathematics and bioengineering. Foundations of Regenerative Biology and Medicine introduces the essentials of regenerative biology and medicine to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as students and professionals outside the field who need (and want) an introduction to the subject. This relatively short book can be read in one semester and delivers the essential framework to understand the biological aspects of different mechanisms of regeneration and the therapeutic strategies that have emerged from this biology.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Beginning with a systematic review of the standard exposition of string theory, which is required for a proper understanding of matrix models of string theory, this book proceeds to provide a comprehensive presentation of matrix models of string theory and their areas of applications. Supplemented with exercises and an appendix on Monte Carlo algorithms and methods used for matrix models of string theory, this work provides both a valuable self-study guide for postgraduate students and a comprehensive review and reference guide for researchers.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In order to increase the healing opportunities of cancer, it is important to impair the dissemination and the spreading of cancer cells from the initial tumor and the formation of metastases in other organs or tissues of the human body. The underlying physical principles of these oncological processes are a major constituent of the research field highlighted in Physics of Cancer. This completely revised second edition of is improved linguistically with multiple increases of the number of figures and the inclusion of several novel chapters such as actin filaments during matrix invasion, microtubuli during migration and matrix invasion, nuclear deformability during migration and matrix invasion, and the active role of the tumor stroma in regulating cell invasion.…
