Farewell to Entropy, A: Statistical Thermodynamics Based on Information
ISBN: 9789812707079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Information, Entropy, Life and the Universe: What We Know and What We Do Not Know
ISBN: 9789814651677 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know and what we do not know about information and entropy - two of the most frequently discussed topics in recent literature - and whether they are relevant to life and the entire universe. Entropy is commonly interpreted as a measure of disorder. This interpretation has caused a great amount of "disorder" in the literature. One of the aims of this book is to put some "order" in this "disorder". The book explains with minimum amount of mathematics what information theory is and how it is related to thermodynamic entropy. Then it...

Information Theory and Selected Applications
ISBN: 9783031212758 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book focuses on analysing the applications of the Shannon Measure of Information (SMI). The book introduces the concept of frustration and discusses the question of the quantification of this concept within information theory (IT), while it also focuses on the interpretation of the entropy of systems of interacting particles in terms of the SMI and of mutual information. The author examines the question of the possibility of measuring the extent of frustration using mutual information and discusses some classical examples of processes of mixing and assimilation for which the entropy...

Briefest History of Time, The: The History of Histories of Time and the Misconstrued Association Between Entropy and Time
ISBN: 9789814749848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know about time and about the history of time. It is shown that the briefest (as well as the lengthiest) history of time can be described in one or two pages.The second purpose of the book is to show that neither entropy, nor the Second Law of Thermodynamics has anything to do with time. The third purpose is to educate the lay reader how to read popular science books, critically. Towards this goal, detailed reviews of four books on time are presented.There are many popular science books on Time, on the beginning of Time and the end...

The Protein Folding Problem and Its Solutions
ISBN: 9789814436366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book presents a new approach to the Protein Folding Problem. It starts with a clear description of what the protein folding problem involves. Then, it suggests non-conventional answers to some of the questions posed. In particular, it emphasizes the importance of hydrophilic interactions and hydrophilic forces, rather than the hydrophobic effects, for the stability of the native structure of proteins, as well for the speed of the folding process.

Entropy Demystified: The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense (Second Edition)
ISBN: 9789813100121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Molecular Theory of Solutions
ISBN: 9780199299690 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents new and updated developments in the molecular theory of mixtures and solutions. It is based on the theory of Kirkwood and Buff which was published more than fifty years ago. This theory has been dormant for almost two decades. It has recently become a very powerful and general tool to analyze, study and understand any type of mixtures from the molecular, or the microscopic point of view. The traditional approach to mixture has been, for many years, based on the study of excess thermodynamic quantities. This provides a kind of global information on the system. The new...

ISBN: 9789814350549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book starts out by presenting the evidence for the importance of hydrophilic interactions in biochemical processes and then goes on to describe the applications of the hydrophilic interactions in these processes, specifically protein folding, protein association, self assembly and molecular recognition. In this volume it is shown that the new paradigm, based on the hydrophilic effect, brings us as close as one can hope to the solutions of the protein folding problem, as well as the problem of self assembly and molecular recognition. In addition, the new paradigm also provides an...

Myths and Verities in Protein Folding Theories
ISBN: 9789814725996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...
