This book covers Monté Carlo Methods and computer simulation for applications like calculating Pi, integration, areas, and volumes. It also introduces the novel Complex Probability Paradigm. For scholars and students in mathematics, computer science, and science in general.
Electronics and Microprocessing for Research
This accompanying textbook for a beginners’ course in microprocessing explains introductory electronics, programming, microprocessing, and data collection techniques to allow students to start designing and building their own instruments for research projects.
The Philosophical Roots of the Ecological Crisis
The roots of the ecological crisis are traced to the thought of René Descartes, father of modern philosophy. His worldview established a dangerous legacy: a human-centered, mechanistic conception of nature and a sharp dualism between humanity and the physical world.
Entropy is one of the most interesting concepts in physics. Although a well-defined concept, it is still frequently perceived as one cloaked in mystery. This book, however, discusses entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics in such a way that everyone can understand them.
This book presents mathematical models of neuroscience and natural phenomena like tsunami waves. It covers models of tsunamis and examines Fitzhugh-Nagumo systems to understand nerve impulse propagation. For students, researchers, and specialists in nonlinear waves.
This book tackles modern methods in the modelling of extreme data, such as floods and hurricanes. It provides the latest statistical methods to predict these random phenomena and minimize damage, offering both an applied and theoretical orientation.
A Victorian Architectural Controversy
Who was the true architect of the New Houses of Parliament? Charles Barry, the winner of the competition, or Augustus Pugin, the ‘ghost’ designer? After both men died, the controversy became a public dispute, fueled by the directly-opposed claims of their sons.
This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on magnetic and electric dipolar resonance. In addition to known results, it presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles, which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
Demystifying Climate Risk Volume II
Before their expertise is lost, seasoned leaders from the Montreal Protocol—the world’s most successful treaty for atmospheric protection—share their wisdom. This book leverages their lessons to inspire future innovations in climate science, industry, and sustainability.
This book proposes a model of light knot electronic structure, challenging the interpretation of quantum entanglement and proving a paradox in the uncertainty relationship. It establishes the foundation for a deterministic, local-realism quantum mechanics.
This book presents research on optical filters for communication systems. These devices are designed and optimized to accurately filter channels from multiplexed optical signals through wavelength tenability, produced via thermo-optic, electro-optic, and strain effects.
The muon is vital to particle, nuclear, and atomic physics, and a key component of the Standard Model. Muonic processes provide crucial information on the weak interaction. This book explores the various aspects of muon physics, highlighting the most recent experiments conducted.
Representing papers delivered at the EURAU2014 Istanbul “Composite Cities” Conference, this text addresses the importance of research on the complexity of today’s cities, while also shedding light on new models of urbanism discussed together with new decision-making actors.
Seismic Isolation Strategies for Earthquake-Resistant Construction
This book presents unique, modern, and cost-effective seismic isolation strategies to make existing buildings earthquake-proof. Learn how these highly efficient methods can be implemented quickly, easily, and without interrupting building use, demonstrated on real-world examples.
Modelling Offshore Wind Farm Operation and Maintenance
Offshore wind energy is a vital green resource, but its main challenge is the high cost of operation and maintenance. This book explores how to reduce failure rates and make offshore wind energy cheaper, using condition monitoring systems and real-world case studies.
This second volume uses vector optimization to model economic systems. Chapters cover decision-making and modeling within companies, in market systems, and for forecasting.
High-Temperature, Drying Shrinkage, and Environmental Impact Assessment of Alkali-Activated Concrete
This book explores Alkali-activated Concrete (AAC), a sustainable substitute for Portland cement. It focuses on AAC’s long-term performance advantages, addressing uncertainties and offering practical recommendations to pave the way for its wider use in construction.
Artificial Intelligence
AI is reshaping how we live and work, revolutionizing healthcare and robotics. The potential for AI to drive innovation and solve complex problems is limitless, promising a future enriched by intelligent systems. However, the risks are notable and must be taken into account.
