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...

Molecular Theory of Water and Aqueous Solutions - Part II: The Role of Water in Protein Folding, Self-Assembly and Molecular Recognition
ISBN: 9789814350549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Briefest History of Time, The: The History of Histories of Time and the Misconstrued Association Between Entropy and Time
ISBN: 9789814749855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Water and Aqueous Solutions: Introduction to a Molecular Theory
ISBN: 9781461587040 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The molecular theory of water and aqueous solutions has only recently emerged as a new entity of research, although its roots may be found in age-old works. The purpose of this book is to present the molecular theory of aqueous fluids based on the framework of the general theory of liquids. The style of the book is introductory in character, but the reader is presumed to be familiar with the basic properties of water for instance, the topics reviewed by Eisenberg and Kauzmann (1969)] and the elements of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics e.g., Denbigh (1966), Hill (1960)]...

Entropy Demystified: The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense
ISBN: 9789812700551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this unique book, Arieh Ben-Naim invites the reader 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 textbooks of 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...

Discover Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: A Playful Way of Discovering a Law of Nature
ISBN: 9789814299763 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

Molecular Theory of Solutions
ISBN: 9780199299706 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Myths and Verities in Protein Folding Theories
ISBN: 9789814725996 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

Entropy: The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth
ISBN: 9789813147669 / Angielski / Twarda / 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...

Information, Entropy, Life and the Universe: What We Know and What We Do Not Know
ISBN: 9789814651660 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...
