Professor Rontgen konnen Sie mir helfen?

Dieses Buch veranschaulicht klar verstandlich, wie Arzte heute Bilder aus dem Korperinnern gewinnen konnen: mit Rontgenstrahlen, Radiowellen in der Magnetresonanztomografie, Schallwellen im Ultraschall und radioaktiv markierten Substanzen in der Nuklearmedizin.

Die moderne Bildgebung erlaubt uns heute ganz neue Realitaten darzustellen und dank moderner Physik, auf ganz andere Weise als mit unseren Augen, in den Menschen hineinzuschauen. So ist es uns moglich, verschieden dichtes Gewebe im Menschen darzustellen, magnetische...

Is there a God? If so, does God care about us? Or is human life a mere accident of physics?

For centuries, these fundamental questions have been integral to every culture and religion the world has known--and have not been answered, save by faith. When it comes to finding answers about how the universe came into...

This text is designed for a two-semester introductory course in statistics for students majoring in engineering or any of the physical sciences. Inevitably, once these students graduate and are employed, they will be involved in the collection and analysis of data and will be required to think critically about the results. Consequently, they need to acquire knowledge of the basic concepts of data description and statistical inference and familiarity with statistical methods they are required to use on the job.

The principles of physics lie behind many of the ways animals go about their daily lives. Scientists have discovered that the way cats and dogs lap up liquids can be explained by the laws of surface tension, how ants navigate is due to polarized light, and why pistol shrimps can generate enough force to destroy aquarium glass using their elbows

Each of Furry Logic's six chapters tackles a separate branch of physics and, through more than 30 animal case studies, examines each creature's key features before describing the ways physics is at play in its life, how the...

This book addresses a wide range of topics relating to the properties and behavior of condensed matter under extreme conditions such as intense magnetic and electric fields, high pressures, heat and cold, and mechanical stresses. It is divided into four sections devoted to condensed matter theory, molecular chemistry, theoretical physics, and the philosophy and history of science. The main themes include electronic correlations in material systems under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, surface physics, the transport properties of low-dimensional electronic systems, applications...

In a period of active scientific innovation and technological change, Charles Augustin Coulomb (1736-1806) made major contributions to the development of physics in the areas of torsion and electricity and magnetism; as one of the great engineering theorists, he produced fundamental studies in strength of materials, soil mechanics, structural design, and friction. Stewart Gillmor gives a full account of Coulomb's life and an assessment of his work in the first biography of this notable scientist.

Originally published in 1972.

If you’ve ever wondered if a particle can have weight but no mass, why the neutron is neutral or why the electron—a negative particle—doesn’t fly apart when all of its inner parts are presumably negative also, then this book is for you.

John R. Holt chases the holy grail of science—a theory that explains everything—in this ambitious work that draws upon particle physics, theoretical physics, cosmology, and related disciplines.

Combining empirical facts with reasonable speculation, he presents a simple theory in an easy-to-understand...

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind of sensor, the book highlights industrial applications, which range from oil and gas production to power line monitoring, plant and process engineering, environmental monitoring, industrial fire and leakage detection, and so on. The text also includes a discussion of such key areas as backscattering, launched power limitations, and receiver sensitivity, as well as a concise historical account of the field's...
