Six experiments to accompany Introductory Physics and ASPC

• The Pendulum Lab
• The Soul of Motion Lab
• The Hot Wheels Lab
• DC Circuits
• The Solubility Lab
• The Density Lab

Experiments are designed to teach students how to function in a laboratory, how to take measurements, how to calculate and account for error, how to use new equipment, and how to create a proper lab report on a computer from scratch.

From the intro: -

The activities in this book are the results of those years trying things...

AutoGenesism is a full Theory of Everything. It's the only full Theory of Everything that exists. This is what makes it singular among the many theories that have begun to pile up within the worlds of cosmology, physics and metaphysics in recent years.

It's not a unification theory addressing the profound schism between the way that macro and micro systems operate. It's not a theory focused on reducing the mathematics of material reality to an elegant (if necessarily cryptic) equation that balances one side of the "=" against the other with miraculous precision and without leaning on...

• Includes experts contributors who review the most important recent literature
• Contains a broad view, including examination of semiconductor nanowires

The book treats such diverse topics as the microscopic theory of critical phenomena, superfluid dynamics, quantum conductance, light scattering, transport processes, and dissipative structures, all in the framework of the foundations of statistical physics and thermodynamics. It shows the quantum origins of problems in classical...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in biomedical imaging and radiology to visualize internal structures of the body. Because MRI provides excellent contrast between different soft tissues, the technique is especially useful for diagnostic imaging of the brain, muscles, and heart.

In the past 20 years, MRI technology has improved significantly with the introduction of systems up to 7 Tesla (7 T) and with the development of numerous post-processing algorithms such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), and spectroscopic imaging. From these...

This book explains in detail the MRI application to the study of the pathological diseases of the human body. It covers the physical principles of the MRI and how to correctly use this technique. It reviews the anatomy and pathological processes of each organ covered with several examples and high quality images.

Huttemann agrees with the microphysicalists that we can explain compound systems by explaining their parts, but claims that this does not entail a fundamentalism that gives hegemony to the micro-level. At most, it shows that there is a relationship of determination between...

This collection of stories touches upon many genres: Normed Trek is a clever and witty Alice-in-Wonderland-type narrative set in the realm of mathematical analysis, The Cantor Trilogy is a dystopia about the consequences of relying upon computer-based mathematical proofs, In Search of Future Time bears the flavor of Tales from Arabian Nights set in the future, and - last but not least - Murder on the Einstein Express is a short, non-technical primer on probabilities and modern classical physics, disguised as a detective story.

Written primarily for an...
