Farewell to Entropy, A: Statistical Thermodynamics Based on Information
ISBN: 9789812707079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ben-Naim (mathematics, The Hebrew U., Israel) goes one step beyond common interpretations of the principle of maximum entropy, replacing it with what he feels is the more suitable concept of information, or better yet, missing information (MI). He explains his rationale as he describes the history of studies of temperature and entropy and the association of entropy with disorder and MI. He describes the basic elements of probability theory, including the axiomatic approach and the relative frequency definition, then defines and explains elements of information theory, including MI and the...

Molecular Theory of Water and Aqueous Solutions - Part I: Understanding Water
ISBN: 9789814327718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 660 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to explain the unusual properties of both pure liquid water and simple aqueous solutions, in terms of the properties of single molecules and interactions among small numbers of water molecules. It is mostly the result of the author's own research spanning over 40 years in the field of aqueous solutions. An understanding of the properties of liquid water is a prelude to the understanding of the role of water in biological systems and for the evolvement of life. The book is targeted at anyone who is interested in the outstanding properties of water and its role in...

Entropy: The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth
ISBN: 9789813147676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book discusses the proper definitions of entropy, the valid interpretation of entropy and some useful applications of the concept of entropy. Unlike many books which apply the concept of entropy to systems for which it is not even defined (such as living systems, black holes and the entire universe), these applications will help the reader to understand the meaning of entropy. It also emphasizes the limitations of the applicability of the concept of entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As with the previous books by the author, this book aims at a clear and mystery-free...

Entropy Demystified: The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense (Second Edition)
ISBN: 9789813100121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this unique book, the reader is invited to experience the joy of appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many years — entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has a two-pronged message: first, that the Second Law is not infinitely incomprehensible as commonly stated in most textbooks on thermodynamics, but can, in fact, be comprehended through sheer common sense; and second, that entropy is not a mysterious quantity that has resisted understanding but a simple, familiar and easily comprehensible concept.Written in an accessible style, the book guides...

Discover Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: A Playful Way of Discovering a Law of Nature
ISBN: 9789814299756 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a sequel to the author's book entitled “Entropy Demystified” (Published by World Scientific, 2007). The aim is essentially the same as that of the previous book by the author: to present Entropy and the Second Law as simple, meaningful and comprehensible concepts. In addition, this book presents a series of “experiments” which are designed to help the reader discover entropy and the Second Law. While doing the experiments, the reader will encounter three most fundamental probability distributions featuring in Physics: the Uniform, the...

Myths and Verities in Protein Folding Theories
ISBN: 9789814725989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book tells the story of a whole field of research which went disastrously wrong in many different directions when the wrong tools were used and the wrong targets aimed at, to solve a problem.It all started from the misinterpretation of Schellman's experiments which were carried out in the mid-1950s, and which were later encapsulated by the so-called "Hydrogen-bond inventory argument." As a result, hydrogen bonding was ignored in protein folding; along with that a whole repertoire of other possible hydrophilic effects were not even considered. Against this background the hydrophobic...
