Computational Methods to Study the Structure and Dynamics of Biomolecules and Biomolecular Processes: From Bioinformatics to Molecular Quantum Mechanics (Springer Series in Bio-/Neuroinformatics)

Springer, 2013

Since the second half of the 20th century machine computations have played a critical role in science and engineering. Computer-based techniques have become especially important in molecular biology, since they often represent the only viable way to gain insights into the behavior of a biological system as a whole. The complexity of...

The Mystery of the Quantum World, Second Edition

Taylor & Francis, 1994

… solid and reliable.
-The Good Book Guide

… an excellent introduction to an interesting and ongoing field of research in physics for those who have some knowledge of quantum theory.
-A. Davies, Australian and New Zealand Physicist

… a splendid book … a good reference for current undergraduates...

The Concept of Probability in Statistical Physics (Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory)

Cambridge University Press, 1999

Probabilities have a puzzling character within the context of classical physics. Here, unlike in quantum mechanics, the use of probabilistic reasoning is not based on the existence of indeterminacy or objective lawlessness. Indeed, indeterminacy, in general, has no place in classical physics. In the very foundation of classical physics we find the...

Suddenly in Charge: Managing Up, Managing Down, Succeeding All Around

Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2011

In my twenty-five-year consulting practice with about half the Fortune 500 firms, and in coaching executives and entrepreneurs globally, I’ve found a fascinating phenomenon: not enough people prepare for success!

They prepare for failure, disappointment, delay, and even cataclysm, but not necessarily for...

Fundamentals of Fiber Lasers and Fiber Amplifiers (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)

Springer, 2013

This book covers the fundamental aspects of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers, and includes a wide range of material from laser physics fundamentals to state-of-the-art topics, as well as industrial applications in the rapidly growing field of quantum electronics. Emphasis is placed on the nonlinear processes taking place in fiber lasers and...

Quantum Walks and Search Algorithms (Quantum Science and Technology)

Springer, 2013

This book addresses an interesting area of quantum computation called quantum walks, which play an important role in building quantum algorithms, in particular search algorithms. Quantum walks are the quantum analogue of classical random walks.

It is known that quantum computers have great power for searching unsorted databases....

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...

Introduction to Quantum Theory and Atomic Structure (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 37)

Oxford University Press, 1996

This book illuminates the basic concepts of quantum chemistry, and emphasizes atomic structure but not molecular applications. The author starts with a survey of the basic ideas and problems of wave/particle duality, the nature of wave function, and its statistical interpretation. He then discusses some important applications of Schrodinger's...

Human Memory Modeled with Standard Analog and Digital Circuits: Inspiration for Man-made Computers

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Gain a new perspective on how the brain works and inspires new avenues for design in computer science and engineering

This unique book is the first of its kind to introduce human memory and basic cognition in terms of physical circuits, beginning with the possibilities of ferroelectric behavior of neural membranes, moving...

Science Fiction: A Very Short Introduction

Oxford University Press, 2011

Frankenstein, The Time Machine, Star Trek, Dune, 1984, Blade Runner--science fiction has been explained as a combination of romance, science, and prophecy; as a genre based on an imagined alternative to the reader's environment; and as a form of fantastic fiction and historical literature. It has also been argued that science...

No Wonder You Wonder!: Great Inventions and Scientific Mysteries

Springer, 2015

This book explores and explains scientific mysteries and principles, leavened with tongue-in-cheek humor and an abundance of illustrations. Chapters are short, but give an understanding of technology and science not available elsewhere. Questions include:

• What holds a satellite up while it goes around the Earth?

...
