  • Case Studies in Experimental Physics

    Why Scientists Pursue Investigation

    by Ronald Laymon, Allan Franklin ...
    Series series eBColl Synthesis Collection 11
    This book addresses the pursuit and further investigation of experimental results by analyzing classic examples from physics. The authors concentrate on the investigation of experimental results by examining case studies from the history of 20th and 21st century physics. Discussions on the discovery of parity nonconservation, the rise and fall of the Fifth Force, the search for neutrinoless double ... Read more

  • Once Can Be Enough

    Decisive Experiments, No Replication Required

    by Allan Franklin, Ronald Laymon ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    There has recently been considerable discussion of a “replication crisis” in some areas of science. In this book, the authors argue that replication is not a necessary criterion for the validation of a scientific experiment. Five episodes from physics and genetics are used to substantiate this thesis: the Meselson-Stahl experiment on DNA replication, the discoveries of the positron and the omega ... Read more

    Pragmatism about Science and Technology

    by Anne C. Fitzpatrick, Ronald Laymon, Nicholas Rescher, Ivan Guajardo, Thomas Staley, Brandiff R. Caron, Peter Kroes, Joseph C. Pitt, Allan Franklin, James H. Collier ...
    Series series Postphenomenology and the Philosophy of Technology
    In a world of information technologies, genetic engineering, controversies about established science, and the mysteries of quantum physics, it is at once seemingly impossible and absolutely vital to find ways to make sense of how science, technology, and society connect. In Feedback Loops: Pragmatism about Science & Technology, editors Andrew Wells Garnar and Ashley Shew bring together original ... Read more

  • Stellar Magnetism

    by Leon Mestel ...
    Series Book 154 - International Series of Monographs on Physics
    Ongoing studies in mathematical depth, and inferences from `helioseismological' observations of the internal solar rotation have shown up the limitations in our knowledge of the solar interior and of our understanding of the solar dynamo, manifested in particular by the sunspot cycle, the Maunder minimum, and solar flares. This second edition retains the identical overall structure as the first ... Read more

  • Theory of Reflectance and Emittance Spectroscopy

    by Bruce Hapke ...
    Reflectance and emittance spectroscopy are increasingly important tools in remote sensing and have been employed in most recent planetary spacecraft missions. They are primarily used to measure properties of disordered materials, especially in the interpretation of remote observations of the surfaces of the Earth and other terrestrial planets. This book gives a quantitative treatment of the ... Read more

  • Pwa90: A Lifetime Of Emergence

    by Piers Coleman, Premi Chandra, Gabi Kotliar, Clare Yu, Daniel L Stein, Phuan Ong ...
    In a remarkable career spanning more than six decades, Philip W Anderson has made many fundamental contributions to physics. As codified in his oft-quoted phrase 'More is Different', Anderson has been the most forceful and persuasive proponent of the radical, but now ubiquitous, viewpoint of emergent phenomena: truly fundamental concepts that can and do emerge from studies of Nature at each layer ...

  • Nonlinear Climate Dynamics

    by Henk A. Dijkstra ...
    This book introduces stochastic dynamical systems theory in order to synthesize our current knowledge of climate variability. Nonlinear processes, such as advection, radiation and turbulent mixing, play a central role in climate variability. These processes can give rise to transition phenomena, associated with tipping or bifurcation points, once external conditions are changed. The theory of ... Read more
