A physicist's efforts to understand the enigma that is quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics is one of the glories of our age. The theory lies at the heart of modern society. Quantum mechanics is one of our most valuable forecasters—a “great predictor.” It has immeasurably altered our conception of the...
Internet Gaming Disorder: Theory, Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention is an informative and practical introduction to the topics of Internet gaming disorder and problematic gaming. This book provides mental health clinicians with hands-on assessment, prevention, and treatment techniques for clients with problematic gaming behaviors...
This paper initiates a mathematical theory of aeroelasticity centered on the canonical problem of the flutter boundary — an instability endemic to aircraft that limits attainable speed in the subsonic regime. We develop a continuum mathematical model that exhibits the known flutter phenomena and yet is amenable to analysis...
From the bestselling authors of The 24-Carrot Manager comes a manager's handbook on motivating employees through praise and recognition. Employees fed a steady diet of carrots focus better on company goals. They spot new opportunities faster. They have longer employment life spans (translation: lower turnover). And they can lift companies higher...
Important new insights into how various components and systems evolved
Premised on the idea that one cannot know a science without knowing its history, History of Wireless offers a lively new treatment that introduces previously unacknowledged pioneers and developments, setting a new standard for understanding the evolution of this important...
This carefully edited book reflects and advances the state of the art in the area of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Evolutionary Algorithms. It emphasizes the utility of different evolutionary computing tools to various facets of knowledge discovery from databases, ranging from theoretical analysis to real-life applications....
Published in conjunction with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), Statistical Applications for Health Information Management, Second Edition covers the basic biostatistics, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics that are unique to health information management (HIM). The text provides the essential theory...
In Distributed Algorithms, Nancy Lynch provides a blueprint for designing, implementing, and analyzing distributed algorithms. She directs her book at a wide audience, including students, programmers, system designers, and researchers. Distributed Algorithms contains the most significant algorithms and impossibility...
While existing books related to DOE are focused either on process or mixture factors or analyze specific tools from DOE science, this text is structured both horizontally and vertically, covering the three most common objectives of any experimental research:
The wireless communications revolution has been driven by a confluence of technological advances, including improvements in communications theory, very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology, and radio frequency (RF) microelectronics. The microwave power amplifier represents one of the major factors in the low-cost and low-power implementation...
There are lots of books on consciousness being published these days, and I end up skimming most of them and reading a few of them. Reading somebody else’s take on the whole set of issues is often frustrating and depressing: they just don’t get it. Other times it is tantalizing; they start on the right foot, in other words, where I...

Have you ever seen a cell? Cells are the smallest unit of life. They are called the building blocks of life. We cannot see individual cells with our naked eyes.
