As new discoveries transform our view of the universe, this book focuses on the core questions: Is any living organism only the result of programming? What of the human being? Are we a robot participating in the living world or a consciousness in a biological habitat?
Space Systems Architecture for Resource Utilization
Space resources will transform human enterprise. This practical workbook is an invaluable guide for start-ups, students, and space enthusiasts. Learn how to start a space business, engage regulators, and coordinate teams to gain the confidence to build, live, and work in space.
Experimental Research in Consumer Sciences
This book covers the experimental research skills needed by graduate students in the food and textile industries. It provides comprehensive coverage of the research process—from proposal writing and designing experiments to analysing data and writing scientific reports.
This volume presents research on gas-discharge plasma for creating powerful, tunable excilamps. It details the application of these studies to develop efficient blue-green and ultraviolet radiation sources for specialists in plasma physics and quantum electronics.
This book addresses the complex N-body problem, providing a general approach to show that many mass configurations can be solved deterministically. It gives the reader the tools to master binary, trinary, and quadruple structured configurations for real and theoretical work.
This monograph covers symmetries on a symplectic manifold, giving rise to quantum field theory via phase space and the Wigner function. This approach describes quantum chaos, introduces gauge symmetries, and leads to Symplectic Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations.
This book explores two pillars of dynamic systems engineering: modeling, analysis, and control, and model-based fault diagnosis. It equips readers with the tools to detect, isolate, and mitigate defects, providing the skills to identify and remedy potential system failures.
From Nonlinear Dynamics to Trigonometry’s Magic
This book unravels the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics using simple trigonometry. A tutorial for beginners and experts, it examines the fundamental example of Chaos, the Lorenz-Haken equations, with an original approach. For physicists, mathematicians, and students alike.
This volume addresses pivotal problems about our planet’s environment and ecology. It highlights inter-related topics from agriculture to global health and concludes with an ethical analysis of the multiple, overlapping challenges that require urgent attention.
This book sheds light on controversial questions about interventions on religious heritage buildings. Since Vatican II, the renewal of Catholic churches has been problematic for historic buildings. How can we reform what has already been reformed?
Ending the War Between Humanity and Nature
Why are we so unwilling to address the climate crisis? Humanity and nature are at war. This book argues the root cause is not simply economics, but the time-honored stories we tell ourselves about humanity’s place in (or out of) the natural world.
This book presents the development and implementation of a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical model for studying the initial spread of oil on a calm sea. The results are in concordance with James Fay’s pioneering predictions for oil slick diameters.
This volume offers key insights into sound scattering, covering scatterers, waveguides, hydroacoustic antennas, and loudspeakers. It details numerical solutions to complex problems using the boundary element method.
Virtual and Augmented Reality
This book explores the latest research in education design for virtual and augmented reality. Using numerous studies and examples, it will help the reader gain a better understanding of the nature of these realities and their applications in theory and practice.
For metrologists, this book provides deep knowledge on how to specify, calibrate, and measure with ultrasonic flow meters to meet legal requirements in custody transfer and fiscal applications for water, oil, and natural gas.
This book explores the nonlinear features of natural phenomena through mathematical models. It focuses on practical methods to investigate these problems, presenting approaches applicable to a wide class of nonlinear equations and guiding even uninitiated readers.
