This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology....

Our attempt at presenting a pedagogical survey of this subject arose from lectures given in...

This book will address the advances, applications, research results, and emerging areas of optics, photonics, computational approaches, nano-photonics, bio-photonics, with applications in information systems. The objectives are to bring together novel approaches, analysis, models, and technologies that enhance sensing, measurement,...

The book describes measurements and application of sensitive electrical circuits, with examples of the ultimate in noisematching and interference elimination, in precise and accurate voltage, current and power measurements demonstrating the elegance, flexibility and utility of coaxial AC bridges. It also serves to update an earlier...

"This is the second edition of the very successful book on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is part of an extensive series of textbooks by Greiner and co-authors. … The second edition is clearly an advance on the first and continues to be a very useful advanced textbook." (C.A Hurst,...

This is a treatise devoted to the foundations of quantum physics and the role that causality plays in the microscopic world governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. There is no sharp dividing line between physics and philosophy of physics. This is especially true for quantum physics where debate on its interpretation and the status of the...

For over a hundred years of modern telecommunication history, public telephone communication has taken place over some form of a circuit switch transmission, which has evolved in its own right from analog to digital and from fixed to mobile networks. Now with the coming of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) technology, which merges the Internet world...

What is the basic nature of the modern computer? How does it work? How has it been possible to squeeze so much power into increasingly smaller machines? What will the next generations of computers look like? In this Very Short Introduction, Darrel Ince looks at the basic concepts behind all computers, the changes in hardware and...

Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector...

Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKC) is a fast-developing new area in cryptography. In the past 10 years, MPKC schemes have increasingly been seen as a possible alternative to number theoretic-based cryptosystems such as RSA, as they are generally more efficient in terms of computational effort. As quantum computers are developed, MPKC...
