On the Geology of Syria
Explore the geology of Syria, a highly diverse field for geologists. Located at the meeting point of the Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, Syria is underlain by the active Dead Sea Fault Zone, making this area of unique interest.
Turbulent fluid flows appear random, but averages like pressure and flow rate are predictable. Past mathematical models have been either too simple or too complex for practical use. This book explores a middle ground: computationally tractable yet realistic models.
This book examines why modern architecture lacks humanity and creates environmental errors. It studies historical styles to show how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century by aggressive, reductionist ideologies that attack our inherited communities.
This book presents 10 actions for practical results in seismology. Through statistical analysis, we can estimate the probability of the next earthquake and identify foreshocks. From seismic waves, we can deduce an earthquake’s energy, magnitude, and the fault’s orientation.
In multiplicative calculus, division and multiplication replace the roles of subtraction and addition. This book is devoted to multiplicative Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, summarizing the most recent contributions for mathematicians, physicists, engineers and biologists.
Analysis and Forecasting of Financial Time Series
This book uses real-world cases to show how to analyse volatile financial time series with statistical analysis, machine learning, and deep learning. Learn to build predictive models to forecast stock prices and construct profitable portfolios using Python and R.
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
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?
For millennia, Indigenous Australians have engineered the landscape with sophisticated knowledge. This book recognizes their ingenuity, grounded in sustainability and respect, and presents a much-needed challenge to a Western engineering worldview.
This book explores tectonic affects in architecture, where building technology and aesthetics are not separated. Affects are preconscious feelings that can generate aesthetic value and meaning. The book adopts a practical position, concentrating on these tectonic affects.
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.
This book explores the ponderomotive wave forces of space plasma and their theoretical implications. The theory offers a vital tool for analyzing plasma data from the terrestrial and Martian environments, providing a roadmap for interpreting distant stellar and galactic objects.
Digitalization leads to complex applications encoded by simple Boolean variables. However, their exponential growth creates challenges. This book gathers research on the Boolean domain to help readers solve these real-life scientific and practical tasks.
Explore the synthesis and application of versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. This book systematically shows how understanding the chemical properties of precursors is essential for preparing a wide range of simple and complex organic compounds.
An Introduction to Viticulture, Winemaking and Wine
This book describes the science of growing grapevines and transforming them into the world’s many wine styles. It covers everything from harvesting to how to taste, buy, store, and sell wine. Intended for novice growers, winemakers, sommeliers, and students.
This multidisciplinary book explores COVID-19’s impact across the sciences and humanities. It offers varied perspectives on the pandemic’s challenges and solutions, with a specific focus on Indonesia. For researchers, students, the public, and policy makers.
Globally, over two thirds of soils are affected by constraints, causing significant yield loss. This book brings together global experts to outline the most successful strategies to manage these constraints for sustainable food production worldwide.
This is the first book to present the direct method for solving inverse problems in X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, tomography, and reflectometry. It discusses the theory for multilayer structures and the phase problem in electron structural crystallography.
This book describes the world’s vineyards and wines, with the science behind viticulture and winemaking. It is an essential reference for students, teachers, and professionals in the wine trade, from growers and winemakers to sommeliers.
Enhanced Learning Environments
This book looks beyond buzzwords for the ground truth in how technology can enhance education. It makes a strong case for how innovations like immersive virtual reality, accessible Hollywood technology, and the metaverse can create a new frontier for future-focused learning.
