This book contains papers by leading physicists on developments in high energy physics, string theory and cosmology. Topics covered include recent results from accelerator and non-accelerator experiments, cp-violation, neutrino phsyics, precision tests of the standard model, quantum gravity and two-dimensional gravity, superstring theory and superstring phenomenology, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology.

This book is written for engineers, students of coastal processes and laypersons interested in beach nourishment, which comprises the placement of large quantities of good quality sediment on the beach to advance the shoreline seaward. The improvement of project performance through proper design and the predictability of performance are emphasized. The overall longevity of a project is addressed, as are local erosional areas. The roles which wave height, project length and sediment quality play n project performance are addressed quantitatively. The results are illustrated through reference...

Quantum Probability and Related Topics is a series of volumes based on materials discussed in the various QP conferences. It aims at providing an update on the rapidly growing field of classical probability, quantum physics and functional analysis.

This volume shows modern probabilistic methods in action: Brownian Motion Process as applied to the electrical phenomena investigated by Green et al., beginning with the Newton-Coulomb potential and ending with solutions by first and last exits of Brownian paths from conductors.

This work presents a compilation of eight lectures covering selected topics in modern high-energy physics. The lectures are intended for beginners - graduate students and young researchers - who are about to submerge into the intricacies of the theory.

The aim of this work is to supply a collection of problems together with their detailed solutions, which should prove to be valuable to students as well as to research workers in the fields mathematics, physics, engineering and other sciences. The topics range in difficulty from elementary to advanced. Almost all problems are solved in detail and most of the problems are self-contained. All relevant definitions are given. Volume I presents the introductory problems for undergraduate and advanced undergraduate students. In Volume II, the more advanced problems together with their detailed...
