Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the physics and technology inherent to preserving and restoring old forms of transport as well as creating modern transport for today and for our future needs. This book provides readers with an interesting insight into some of the diverse applications for physics outside of research laboratories. It also covers several different aspects of transport, ranging from the restoration of vintage buses to the materials used in the latest supercars.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Containing an extensive illustration of the use of finite difference method in solving boundary value problems numerically, a wide class of differential equations have been numerically solved in this book. Starting with differential equations of elementary functions like hyperbolic, sine and cosine, special functions such as Hermite, Laguerre and Legendre are solved. Airy function, stationary localised wavepacket, the quantum mechanical problem of the particle in a 1D box and polar equation of motion under gravitational interaction are also explored. Aimed at ensuring readers become adept in using the method, Mathematica 6.0 is used to solve systems of linear equations, and to plot the numerical data, and comparison with known analytic solutions showed nearly perfect agreement in every case.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Domain theory is a subject that emerged as a response to natural concerns in the semantics of computation, and it involves the study of ordered sets that possess an unusual amount of mathematical structure. Disorder in Domain Theory explores the connection between domain theory and quantum information science and the concept that relates them: disorder.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Starting with the history and fundamentals of optical fiber communications, Optical Fiber Multiplexing and Emerging Techniques introduces existing optical multiplexing techniques, and it focuses on the spatial domain multiplexing (SDM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photon-based multiplexing. These two emerging multiplexing techniques have added new degrees of photon freedom to optical fibers.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Prior to the 1920s it was generally thought, with a few exceptions, that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was the entire universe. Based on the work of Henrietta Leavitt with Cepheid variables, astronomer Edwin Hubble was able to determine that the Andromeda Galaxy and others had to lie outside our own. Moreover, based on the work of Vesto Slipher, involving the redshifts of these galaxies, Hubble was able to determine that the universe was not static, as had been previously thought, but expanding. The number of galaxies has also been expanding, with estimates varying from 100 billion to 2 trillion. While every galaxy in the universe is interesting just by its very fact of being, the author has selected 60 of those that possess some unusual qualities that make them of particular interest. These galaxies have complex evolutionary histories, with some having supermassive black holes at their core, others are powerful radio sources, a very few are relatively nearby and even visible to the naked eye, whereas the light from one recent discovery has been travelling for the past 13.4 billion years, and from a time when the universe was in its infancy. And despite the vastness of the universe, some galaxies are colliding with others, embraced in a graceful gravitational dance. Indeed, as the Andromeda Galaxy is heading towards us, a similar fate awaits our Milky Way. When looking at a modern image of a galaxy, one is in awe at the shear wondrous nature of such a magnificent creation, with its boundless secrets that it is keeping from us, its endless possibilities for harboring alien civilizations, and we remain left with the ultimate knowledge that we are connected to its glory.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This fascinating book recounts the importance of precise measurements and their inherent uncertainty, before telling the story of humankind's efforts to define and measure time with increasing accuracy and the effect this has on science. The effort to master time culminated in the development of modern atomic clocks. The most accurate clocks ever constructed. These advanced devices are accurate to one second in 15 billion years and now act as the primary standard for time and frequency measurement. Our improvements in the accurate measurement of time have played a pivotal role in the development of modern science, including the confirmation of Einstein's theory of relativity and the recent detection of gravity waves. Furthermore, the precise measurement of time and frequency afforded by atomic clocks, and other mechanisms, is being used to examine key questions about the fundamentals of our universe, such as the possibility of symmetry violation or the idea that there may be variation of the fundamental constants over time.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Despite many of us staring at liquid crystals - in the form of liquid-crystal displays - for large portions of our waking life, for many, their science and beauty is an untold story full of surprise and wonder. This book takes you on a photographic journey through the science of liquid crystals. By the end, you'll be familiar with what they are, how they form and their role in producing the complexity of life on Earth. Presented in non-technical language, without any mathematics, this accessible text looks at spider webs, silk, display technology, lasers, dyes, detergents, DNA, cell membranes, drug-delivery mechanisms, anaesthesia and optical computing.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Lasers in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy: Basics, applications and future prospects provides an overview on medical lasers and laser systems as well as laser applications in medical diagnosis and therapy. Since it was written by physicists, it focusses on the physics and underlying mechanisms of laser diagnosis and therapy, and thus initially covers the basics of laser-light generation, a selection of the most important laser types and systems commonly used in medicine, and the principles of laser-light guidance. The book should be used as a textbook for lectures, practise lessons and for the preparation of exams. It is suitable for students, lecturers and researchers in the fields of medical engineering and technology, medical physics, medicine and surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, laser physics and development, and optical engineering.…
