Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Covering the elementary aspects of the physics of phases transitions and the renormalization group this popular book is widely used both for core graduate statistical mechanics courses as well as for more specialized courses. Emphasizing understanding and clarity rather than technical manipulation these lectures de-mystify the subject and show precisely how things work. Goldenfeld keeps in mind a reader who wants to understand why things are done what the results are and what in principle can go wrong. The book reaches both experimentalists and theorists students and even active researchers and assumes only a prior knowledge of statistical mechanics at the introductory graduate level. Advanced never-before-printed topics on the applications of renormalization group far from equilibrium and to partial differential equations add to the uniqueness of this book. | Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Viking Age lasted a little over three centuries but has left a lasting legacy across Europe. These dynamic warrior-traders from Scandinavia who fought and interacted with peoples as far apart as North America Russia and Central Asia are some of the most recognizable historical figures in the western world. In the modern imagination they represent ruthlessness heroism adventurousness and a unique prestige embellished by the wondrous tales and poetry of the sagas. Yet the sum of evidence for the Viking presence is far less clear than their reputation implies. In Search of Vikings presents a collection of papers from experts in a broad range of disciplines including history archaeology genetics and linguistics to provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This book focuses on one particularly exciting area of the Viking world namely the north-west region of England where they are known to have settled in large numbers. North-west England was the crossroads between Ireland Scotland Wales the Isle of Man and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was a battleground for distant powers and dynasties and its Irish Sea coastline created opportunities for trading and settlement. Silver hoards burials and Old Norse place-names attest to the Viking presence and Scandinavian DNA is detectable amongst the modern population. The 12 integrated studies in this book are designed to reinvigorate the search for Vikings in this crucial region and to provide must-reading for anyone interested in Viking history. | In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Proteins serve as an important nutritional as well as structural component of foods. Not only do they provide an array of amino acids necessary for maintaining human health but also act as thickening stabilizing emulsifying foaming gelling and binding agents. The ability of a protein to possess and demonstrate such unique functional properties depends largely on its inherent structure configuration and how they interact with other food constituents like polysaccharides lipids and polyphenolic compounds. Proteins from animal sources have superior functionality higher digestibility and lower anti-nutrient components than plant proteins. However consumer preferences are evolving worldwide for ethically and sustainably sourced clean cruelty-free vegan or vegetarian plant-based food products. Unlike proteins from animal sources plant proteins are more versatile religiously and culturally acceptable among vegetarian and vegan consumers and associated with lower food processing waste water and soil requirement. Thus the processing and utilization of plant proteins have gained worldwide attention and as such numerous scientific studies are focusing on enhancing the utilization of plant proteins in food and pharmaceutical products through various processing and modification techniques to improve their techno-functional properties bioactivity bioavailability and digestibility.

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

The Human Effect in Medicine Theory Research and Practice

The Human Effect in Medicine Theory Research and Practice

How is modern medicine failing? Why is a more human approach required? This book challenges the dogma of modern technological medicine that ignores both the therapeutic effect of the doctors and the self-healing powers of the patient. It reviews the vast weight of evidence on the effectiveness of this ‘human effect’ and uses the evidence to describe how to use the human effect in everyday practice. This book is about a vision. A vision that practitioners and patients will recognise and regain their therapeutic potential. It provides a shift in perspective on what doctors can achieve. Thoroughly referenced it is vital for general practitioners and also very relevant to all doctors nurses health managers policy makers and indeed patients. ‘Pendulums swing in most fields of life and medicine and general practice are no exceptions. At the mid-point of the twentieth century the human side of medicine was well understood and implicitly accepted by most working practitioners. As the century progressed the personal aspects came second (but now) the pendulum of thought has started to swing back again towards the personal. | The Human Effect in Medicine Theory Research and Practice

Navigating the Complexity Across the Peace–Sustainability–Climate Security Nexus

Navigating the Complexity Across the Peace–Sustainability–Climate Security Nexus

Promoting peace and sustainability in human development while accounting for the risks associated with the impact of climate change on society has become more imperative than ever when addressing humanity's challenges of the twenty-first century. There is enough evidence that peace sustainability and climate security are entangled with multiple complex interactions and cannot be dealt with in isolation and independently from the environment and the numerous systems with which they interact. Yet the intersection of peace sustainability and climate security or their opposites (i. e. conflict unsustainability and climate vulnerability) is rarely articulated with a systemic mindset. A multi-solving nexus approach is more appropriate to capture the complexity and uncertainty of how the three sectors of peace sustainability and climate security play a role in community development the nature of their causal chains and the feedback on how community development affects the three sectors. Navigating the Complexity Across the Peace–Sustainability–Climate Security Nexus explores the value proposition of using a systems approach methodology and tools to comprehend and model that dynamic. Features of the book: Explores the interaction between the different components of peace and the relationship between peace sustainability and climate security using semi-qualitative and quantitative tools; Explains how climate adaptation and mitigation are related to peace or conflict; Presents generic system dynamics modeling that can be used in different contexts.
