Trsprt Theo Inhomogeneous Fluids
ISBN: 9789810217501 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until recently, the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator method, though powerful and simple, has been considered as a half-heuristic one. This book is concerned to a rigorous generalization of this method, as well as its applications to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The well-known idea of the description of dynamical system evolution in terms of collective dynamical variables has been developed to a functional perturbation theory, which results in the master equation of any given accuracy. Examples of statistical mechanics applications of the method include a linearized transport theory...

Symbols, Pictures and Quantum Reality - On the Theoretical Foundations of the Physical Universe
ISBN: 9789810220563 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Information about the reality outside flow via our sense organs into the body, and the brain forms a picture of reality. It is argued that the symbols in the picture have in general no similarity with the objects in the outside world, and many facts support such a view. This conception is discussed in connection with quantum reality. In particular, the role of space and time within quantum theory is also investigated from the historical point of view, highlighting the original ideas. New aspects are covered in connection with the particle concept, particle-wave dualism, locality, the time...

ISBN: 9789810220792 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text introduces a rapidly growing new research area - the study of dynamical properties of elementary fields. The methods used in this field range from algebraic topology to parallel computer programming. The main aim of this research is to understand the behaviour of elementary particles and fields under extreme circumstances, first of all at high temperature and energy density generated in the largest accelerators of the world and supposed to be present in the early evolution of our universe shortly after the Big Bang. In particular, chaos is rediscovered in a new appearance in these...

Dynamics of Nonlinear and Disordered Systems
ISBN: 9789810222802 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text deals with a series of topics on the cutting edge of nonlinear science, striking a balance between theory and experiment. It consists of two introductory presentations on dynamical systems and fluid dynamics and six chapters on advanced research. A nontrivial interrelation between the different topics becomes apparent throughout the book as an indication of the underlying unity and genericity of nonlinear phenomena. There is a continuous emphasis on conceptual issues often introduced via concrete examples. A common feature is that most of the systems under study are extended,...

Statistical Mechanics
ISBN: 9789810222994 / Angielski / Twarda / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Discussing the foundations of both classical and quantum statistical mechanics, this book aims to bridge a gap that exists between standard textbooks on the subject and more advanced books. It is devised for a one-semester course on statistical mechanics at the graduate level. Its prerequisite is therefore a more elementary course on the same subject. Emphasis is laid on the geometrical aspects of classical thermodynamics, on the foundational problems, and on selected applications, mainly to spin systems, the meaning of quantum statistics, phase transitions, critical phenomena and the...

Models and Modelers of Hydrogen
ISBN: 9789810223021 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Atomic theory began more than two millenia and half ago in Greece and India, but scientific details emerged - very rapidly - only in the 20th century. This text conveys a glimpse of the grandeur of 20th century physics through nine essays and one interview on the models and modellers of a basic element of matter: the hydrogen atom. Basic ideas are presented and illustrated, the mathematical treatments are of a tutorial nature, and facsimile reproductions of 10 key papers are included. Using the simple hydrogen atom, educators may use this book to initiate high school students into the...

Cascades and Fields in Perceptual Psychophysics
ISBN: 9789810223274 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Psychophysics is by definition mappings between events in the environment and levels of human sensory responses. In this text the methods of nonlinear dynamics, employing trajectories developed for simpler sensory modelling, are extended to classes of problems which lie at the interface between sensation and perception. A diversity of topics for which empirical evidence exists are reformulated by writing their dynamics in terms of complex trajectories put into coupled lattices and into cascades of such lattices. Fundamental relationships between core processes of psychophysics in time and...

Force-Free Magnetic Fields: Solutions, Topology and Applications
ISBN: 9789810224974 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After an introductory chapter concerned with the history of force-free magnetic fields, and the relation of such fields to hydrodynamics and astrophysics, the book examines the limits imposed by the virial theorem for finite force-free configurations. Various techniques are then used to find solutions to the field equations. The fact that the field lines corresponding to these solutions have the common feature of being "twisted", and may be knotted, motivates a discussion of field line topology and the concept of helicity. The topics of field topology, helicity and magnetic energy in multiply...

Dynamics Gyroscopic Systems
ISBN: 9789810226305 / Angielski / Twarda / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gyroscopic systems are different from conventional, self-adjoint mechanical systems in gyroscopic forces, which are described by non-self-adjoint operators in their equations of motion. These forces are associated with Casiolis accelerations or mass transport and sender complex dynamics. Because of this, classical linear and nonlinear analysis for conventional systems are not applicable to gyroscopic systems. This book includes five chapters on hyrodynamics and its associated emerging areas of smart structures and nonlinear methodology, which have enjoyed a great deal of attention in the...
