  • From Strange Simplicity to Complex Familiarity

    A Treatise on Matter, Information, Life and Thought

    by Manfred Eigen ...
    This book presents a vivid argument for the almost lost idea of a unity of all natural sciences. It starts with the "strange" physics of matter, including particle physics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics, cosmology, relativity and their consequences (Chapter I), and it continues by describing the properties of material systems that are best understood by statistical and phase-space concepts ...

  • Introduction to Nanoscience

    by Stuart Lindsay ...
    Nanoscience is not physics, chemistry, engineering or biology. It is all of them, and it is time for a text that integrates the disciplines. This is such a text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the sciences. The consequences of smallness and quantum behaviour are well known and described Richard Feynman's visionary essay 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom' ... Read more

  • Evolutionary Biomechanics

    Selection, Phylogeny, and Constraint

    by Graham Taylor, Adrian Thomas ...
    Series series Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution
    Evolutionary biomechanics is the study of evolution through the analysis of biomechanical systems. Its unique advantage is the precision with which physical constraints and performance can be predicted from first principles. Instead of reviewing the entire breadth of the biomechanical literature, a few key examples are explored in depth as vehicles for discussing fundamental concepts, analytical ... Read more

  • Translational Dynamics and Magnetic Resonance

    Principles of Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo NMR

    by Paul T. Callaghan ...
    Taking the reader through the underlying principles of molecular translational dynamics, this book outlines the ways in which magnetic resonance, through the use of magnetic field gradients, can reveal those dynamics. The measurement of diffusion and flow, over different length and time scales, provides unique insight regarding fluid interactions with porous materials, as well as molecular ... Read more

  • The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond

    Outline of a Comprehensive Hydrogen Bond Theory

    by Gastone Gilli, Paola Gilli ...
    Series Book 23 - International Union of Crystallography Monographs on Crystallography
    Hydrogen bond (H-bond) effects are known: it makes sea water liquid, joins cellulose microfibrils in trees, shapes DNA into genes and polypeptide chains into wool, hair, muscles or enzymes. Its true nature is less known and we may still wonder why O-H...O bond energies range from less than 1 to more than 30 kcal/mol without apparent reason. This H-bond puzzle is re-examined here from its very ... Read more

  • Computer Integrated Experimentation

    by Edward Magrab ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a basis by which instruments and transducers can be selected, assembled and integrated with a computer to measure and control physical processes in an accurate and predictable manner. It consists of two parts, the first of which lays the theoretical foundation for the second. First the Fourier analysis of signals are summarized. Then, from a systems point of view, the following ... Read more

  • Modelling Protocells

    The Emergent Synchronization of Reproduction and Molecular Replication

    by Roberto Serra, Marco Villani ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The monograph discusses models of synthetic protocells, which are cell-like structures obtained from non-living matter endowed with some rudimentary kind of metabolism and genetics, but much simpler than biological cells. They should grow and proliferate, generating offsprings that resemble in some way the parent protocells with some variation, so that selection may take place. Sustainable ... Read more

  • First Order Phase Transitions of Magnetic Materials

    Broad and Interrupted Transitions

    by Praveen Chaddah ...
    This book introduces new concepts in the phenomenon of 1st order phase transitions. It discusses the concept of kinetic arrest at a certain temperature, with this temperature being dependent on the second control variable (magnetic field, or pressure). It discusses interesting manifestations of this phenomenon when the 1st order transition is broadened, i.e. occurs over a finite range of ... Read more

  • High Pressure Bioscience

    Basic Concepts, Applications and Frontiers

    Edited by Kazuyuki Akasaka, Hitoshi Matsuki ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This volume covers both the basic concepts and theory of bio-macromolecules under pressure and the various frontiers in high-pressure bioscience and biotechnology. A century has passed since Bridgman discovered the irreversible coagulation of egg white by applying pressure at 700 atmospheres in 1914. Today we are able to monitor pressure-dependent changes in protein structure as a reversible ... Read more
