Against the Tide: A Critical Review by Scientists of How Physics and Astronomy Get Done
ISBN: 9781599429939 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nobody should have a monopoly of the truth in this universe. The censorship and suppression of challenging ideas against the tide of mainstream research, the blacklisting of scientists, for instance, is neither the best way to do and filter science, nor to promote progress in the human knowledge. The removal of good and novel ideas from the scientific stage is very detrimental to the pursuit of the truth. There are instances in which a mere unqualified belief can occasionally be converted into a generally accepted scientific theory through the screening action of refereed literature and...

Application of the Difference Map Algorithm to Protein Structure Prediction
ISBN: 9783836471060 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A powerful new search algorithm, the difference map, has had notable success in many fields that involve finding a characteristic point in a high dimensional search space. The algorithm was first applied to a toy model of proteins in 2004. In that context, the difference map was able to find low energy "folds" better than any contemporary search algorithm. In this work, the same algorithm is applied to a realistic protein model. Though the algorithm finds low energy folds for the protein molecule, the energy function used is found to be inadequate to make the lowest energy state of the...

Cosmic Anger: Abdus Salam - The First Muslim Nobel Scientist
ISBN: 9780199208463 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a biography of Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize for Science (Physics 1979), who was nevertheless excommunicated and branded as a heretic in his own country. His achievements are often overlooked, even besmirched. Realizing that the whole world had to be his stage, he pioneered the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, a vital focus of Third World science which remains as his monument. A staunch Muslim, he was ashamed of the decline of science in the heritage of Islam, and struggled doggedly to restore it to its former glory. Undermined...

Designer Surfaces
ISBN: 9780444530486 / Angielski / Twarda / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Designer Surfaces presents an approach to the design and fabrication of optical elements that are based on the use of one- or two-dimensional randomly rough surfaces to reflect or transmit light in specified ways. The reader is provided with an introduction to analytical methods for the solution of direct problems in rough surface scattering, and fabrication techniques. These can be useful in contexts outside the scope of this book. The advantages and disadvantages of this stochastic approach compared to the diffractive optics approach are discussed. Finally, experimental results that...

Physics of the Environment
ISBN: 9781848161801 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most books on environmental science focus on ecological or biological aspects of environmental conservation, often with a polemic agenda. The physics, if covered at all, is generally superficial. Using pertinent examples from the environment and the ways in which people interact with it, Physics of the Environment sets out to provide a cogent account of the underlying physical laws with a lucidity and rigor appropriate to an undergraduate course in the subject. Students will gain an understanding of the physical concepts that govern the world as well as an appreciation of the technologies of...

Observing Precipitation with Vertically-Pointing Radar - Concepts & Methods for
ISBN: 9783836488273 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the previous years, precipitation signal has been traditionally considered as clutter (unwanted echoes) by the radar community. Thus, most of the VHF signal-processing and analysis have avoided the treatment of the precipitation signal. This work proceeds differently by identifying the potential that VHF radars have in the study of precipitation physics. The book focuses on the following questions: How can we use VHF radar as an operational tool for the study of precipitation physics? What are the typical backscatter signals that rain and turbulence produce at VHF band during...
