Digital electronic computer systems have gone through several generations,
and many changes, since they were first built just before and during World
War II. Machines that were originally implemented with electromechanical
relays and vacuum tubes gave way to those constructed with solid-state
devices and, eventually, integrated...

A comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has emerged as a promising new field of study dealing with irreversible processes in matter, and is fundamental to understanding these systems on a wide range of length scales, including the micro- or...
The celebrated mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras left no writings. But what if he had and the manuscript was never found? Where would it be located? And what information would it reveal? These questions are the inspiration for the mathematical mystery novel Pythagoras' Revenge. Suspenseful and instructive, Pythagoras'...
With sequencing of the human genome now complete, deciphering the role of gene function in human neurological pathophysiology is a promise that has yet to be realized. More than most diseases, stroke has been keenly studied from a genomic perspective. Studies are numerous and incorporate data on stroke inheritance, chromosomal loci of risk,...
