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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
This book examines the political role of architecture through a study of Tehran’s bazaar. Going beyond conventional discourse, it considers architecture as an event, using concepts from Foucault to analyze how it transforms individuals through the act of exchange.
These essays reflect the recent advances in preparation, properties and applications of polyanilines and functionalised polyanilines. They provide a unique opportunity for readers to explore new and exciting research on these topics.
Mathematical Processing of Spectral Data in Analytical Chemistry
For practitioners, researchers, and students, this book covers advanced calibration and the estimation of peak parameters in overlapping spectra. It provides easily reproducible computer calculations, making it a practical guide to analytical spectrometry and chemometrics.
Romanticism, Rhetoric and the Search for the Sublime
This book re-contextualizes Romantic rhetorical theory to construct a Neo-Romantic theory for our time. Correcting misconceptions about major Romantic writers, it uniquely links their love of nature to the current environmental crisis.
High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence
This essential resource explores the synergy between High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI. Learn how HPC accelerates AI to tackle complex problems, while AI optimizes HPC systems, driving breakthroughs in healthcare, climate science, finance, and manufacturing.
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
This book describes a new interpretation of the Standard Model based on relations between particle masses and stable intervals in nuclear data. A combined analysis of these two data sets is performed for the first time, revealing many new relations based on the electron.
A self-study guide to Solid State Physics for students of Physics, Engineering, and Materials Science. It contains carefully selected problems and detailed solutions, with core concepts presented concisely and with minimal math to help you master problem-solving.
Leading experts discuss the ecological and salutogenic design principles for creating a healthy built environment. This book explores how to provide clean air, water, and land, intertwining these principles to support human health and wellbeing globally.
This book discusses mathematical techniques for stellar kinematics, from classical methods like least squares to modern ones not in other texts, such as total least squares and semi-definite programming. For astronomers, students, engineers, and mathematicians.
This book develops novel mathematical models to investigate the impacts of GHG emissions on coastal and marine ecosystems. It introduces optimal control strategies to mitigate these impacts, providing new methods for scientists working to maintain a healthy environment.
