Approaches to Quantum Gravity: Toward a New Understanding of Space, Time and Matter

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The theory of quantum gravity promises a revolutionary new understanding of gravity and spacetime, valid from microscopic to cosmological distances. Research in this field involves an exciting blend of rigorous mathematics and bold speculations, foundational questions and technical issues. Containing contributions from leading researchers in...

The Universe Before the Big Bang: Cosmology and String Theory (Astronomers' Universe)

Springer, 2008

Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the...

The Galactic Black Hole: Studies in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

Taylor & Francis, 2002

The supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way is the nearest such object and relatively easy to observe and study. Not surprisingly therefore, it is the best studied supermassive black hole. Many astrophysical and even general relativistic effects can be investigated in great detail. The Galactic Black Hole: Lectures on General...

The Constants of Nature: From Alpha to Omega--the Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe

Pantheon, 2003

A major contribution to our understanding of the basic laws of the universe -- from the author of The Book of Nothing.

The constants of nature are the fundamental laws of physics that apply throughout the universe: gravity, velocity of light, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. They encode the deepest secrets of the...

Building Interactive Worlds in 3D: Virtual Sets and Pre-visualization for Games, Film & the Web

Focal Press, 2005

"Coming at the process of making interactive worlds from a non-gaming viewpoint proves to be a refreshing break...Provided is a version of the Virtools pre-visualisation package, which is used to set up the interaction between objects, cameras and players. And this is where Gauthier comes into his own with paticularly thought-provoking...

Particles And the Universe (Physics in Our World)

Facts on File, 2007

AS A STUDENT forced to flee Cambridge University during an epidemic in 1665–66, Isaac Newton—later knighted, becoming Sir Isaac—found a lot of time to do experiments. He put this time to good use, discovering the basis for many of the laws of physics he would go on to publish a few decades later. Newton’s equations...

Black Holes, Wormholes & Time Machines

Taylor & Francis, 1999

Do you know: · What might happen if you fall into a black hole? · That the Universe does not have an edge? · That the reason it gets dark at night is proof of the Big Bang? · That cosmic particles time-travel through the atmosphere defying death? · That our past, present and future might all coexist...

Antiviral Drug Discovery for Emerging Diseases and Bioterrorism Threats

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Promising drug discovery efforts in the race to cure emerging diseases and thwart bioterrorism

It was not too long ago that scientists believed that the discovery of powerful antimicrobial agents and vaccines would lead to the eradication of viral diseases. A warning, however, of the looming threat of viral diseases on U.S. national security...

Introduction to Discrete Event Systems

Springer, 2007

As its title suggests, this book is about a special class of systems which in recent decades have become an integral part of our world. Before getting into the details of this particular class of systems, it is reasonable to start out by simply describing what we mean by a “system”, and by presenting the fundamental concepts associated...

Agent and Web Service Technologies in Virtual Enterprises (Premier Reference Source)

IGI Global, 2007

Use of Internet technologies for the interest of individuals and organizations is becoming more contextrelated and the center of gravity is correctly placed to the utility and the value that all involved parties are getting from a business transaction, a business venture or a collaborative service.

Therefore, both aspects that are...

Swarm Intelligence in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2006

Science is a swarm.

To the layperson, the stereotypical scientist is logical, clear-thinking, wellinformed but perhaps socially awkward, carefully planning his or her experiments and then analyzing the resulting data deliberately, with precision. The scientist works alone, emotion-free, searching only for truth, having been well advised...

Wireless Internet and Mobile Business How to Program

Prentice Hall, 2001

Wow! Many of our readers will say, "I had no idea that this wireless stuff was so significant. I have been using cell phones for years, but I never viewed cell phones as vehicles for connecting to the Internet and browsing the Web. Now, all of a sudden, I learn the amazing statistic that the number of people accessing the Web through wireless...
