    Phineas Gage

    A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science

    by John Fleischman ...
    Narrated by Kevin Orton ...

    Unabridged

    1 hour 31 min

    In 1848 Vermont, railroad foreman Phineas Gage sat above a hole, preparing to blast through some granite. A 13-pound iron rod fell from his hands into the hole, triggering the explosion and sending the rod straight through Phineas' head. Thirty minutes after this terrible accident, Phineas sat on the steps of a hotel, patiently waiting for the town doctor to arrive. He chatted with his amazed ... Read more

  • From Gravity to Thermal Gauge Theories: The AdS/CFT Correspondence

    Edited by Eleftherios Papantonopoulos ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful tool in studying strongly coupled phenomena in gauge field theories, using results from a weakly coupled gravity background studied in the realm of string theory. AdS/CFT was first successfully applied to the study of phenomena such as the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ions collisions. Soon it was realized that its applicability can be extended, in a ... Read more

  • Many-Body Schrödinger Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates

    by Kaspar Sakmann ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    At extremely low temperatures, clouds of bosonic atoms form what is known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Recently, it has become clear that many different types of condensates -- so called fragmented condensates -- exist. In order to tell whether fragmentation occurs or not, it is necessary to solve the full many-body Schrödinger equation, a task that remained elusive for experimentally relevant ... Read more

  • Lectures on Hyperhamiltonian Dynamics and Physical Applications

    by Giuseppe Gaeta, Miguel A. Rodríguez ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides the mathematical foundations of the theory of hyperhamiltonian dynamics, together with a discussion of physical applications. In addition, some open problems are discussed. Hyperhamiltonian mechanics represents a generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics, in which the role of the symplectic structure is taken by a hyperkähler one (thus there are three Kähler/symplectic forms ...

  • III-Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications

    Edited by Jung Han, Hiroshi Amano, Hadis Morkoc, Tae-Yeon Seong ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications. However, its ultimate goal is to replace traditional illumination through LED lamps since LED lighting significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts down on carbon-dioxide emission. Despite dramatic advances in LED technologies (e.g., growth, doping and processing technologies), ... Read more
