Описание: This book presents, in the form of reviews by world's leading physicists in wide-ranging fields in theoretical physics, the influence and prescience of Skyrme's daring idea of 1960, originally conceived for nuclear physics, that fermions can arise from bosons via topological solitons, pervasively playing a powerful role in wide-ranging areas of physics, from nuclear/astrophysics, to particle physics, to string theory and to condensed matter physics.The skyrmion description, both from gauge theory and from gauge/gravity duality, offers solutions to some long-standing and extremely difficult problems at high baryonic density, inaccessible by QCD proper. It also offers explanations and makes startling predictions for fascinating new phenomena in condensed matter systems. In both cases, what is at the core is the topology although the phenomena are drastically different, even involving different spacetime dimensions.This second edition has been expanded with addition of new reviews and extensively updated to take into account the latest developments in the field.
How to achieve unlimited, safe, clean and low-cost energy by laser- or beam-driven inertial nuclear fusion has preoccupied all winners of the Edward Teller Medal since its inception in 1991. This book presents their findings, meeting discussions, and personal insights from Edward Teller himself. Expect discussion of important advances anticipated in the future such as multi-billion dollar fusion research projects (NIF), and new schemes such as the petawatt-picosecond laser-plasma interactions evoking new physics and coupling mechanisms.
For the first time, laser technology of the new century is providing the very short and extremely intense energetic pulses needed for fusion energy from next generation power stations, which produce energy at cost several times lower than any other source. The long-sought dream to directly ignite frozen heavy hydrogen for controlled use is close to being realized. Years of research on plasmas and lasers carried out worldwide in highly sophisticated experiments is summarized. The coverage begins with the work of John Nuckolls and Nobel Laureate Nikolai Basov and leads to the new scheme of plasma block acceleration via the nonlinear ponderomotive force. Edward Teller Lectures is one of the first guides to these new developments.
Radiation detection is key to experimental nuclear physics as well as underpinning a wide range of applications in nuclear decommissioning, homeland security and medical imaging. This book presents the state-of-the-art in radiation detection of light and heavy ions, beta particles, gamma rays and neutrons. The underpinning physics of different detector technologies is presented, and their performance is compared and contrasted. Detector technology likely to be encountered in contemporary international laboratories is also emphasized. There is a strong focus on experimental design and mapping detector technology to the needs of a particular measurement problem. This book will be invaluable to PhD students in experimental nuclear physics and nuclear technology, as well as undergraduate students encountering projects based on radiation detection for the first time.
Key Features
Provides clear, concise descriptions of key detection techniques
Describes detector types with "telescopic depth", so readers can go as deep as they wish
Covers real-world applications including short case studies in industry
Описание: What characterised women's international co-operation in the interwar period? How did female activists from different countries and continents relate to one another? Marie Sandell here explores the changing experiences of women involved in the major international women's organisations - including the International Council of Women, International Alliance of Women, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and the International Federation of University Women - as well as the changing compositions and aims of the organisations themselves. Moving beyond an Anglo-American focus, Sandell analyses what the term 'international sisterhood' meant in this broader context, which for the first time included women from the beyond the Western world. Focusing on shifting identities, this book investigates how notions of 'sisterhood' were played out, and contested, during the interwar period and will be invaluable reading for scholars of women's history and twentieth-century world history.

Описание: There have been many recent discussions of the "replication crisis" in psychology and other social sciences. In this book Allan Franklin and Ronald Laymon analyse what constitutes a null result and present evidence, covering a 400-year history, that null results play significant roles in physics.
Описание: An evocative and wide-ranging set of articles that demonstrates how much the experience of East-Central and Eastern Europe, largely neglected until now, needs to be integrated into evolving scholarship on the era of the world wars. This book reveals the case of Lithuania and its diverse populations in its full significance for a modern European history of the impact of the age of the world wars.

Описание:
It`s an eventful month for Jamie Kelly. Stinker and Stickybuns` litter of puppies has arrived -- which makes Jamie and her nemesis Angeline "in-laws by dog." Ugh.
Jamie`s class at Mackerel Middle School is doing a unit on journal-writing, and someone`s diary falls into the wrong hands.
But worst of all, Angeline and Isabella are becoming . . . friends.
Dear Dumb Diary,
It`s not my fault I know everything.
Okay, I don`t know where Timbuktu is, but I refuse to know that. Even if somebody told me, I would flush my brain like a thought-potty and wave goodbye to Timbuktu as it swirled down my brain hole.
I know everything that I WANT to know.

Описание:
Following a historic agreement between Western powers and Iran regarding the Iranian nuclear program, the future of the Middle East has become even more uncertain. The new geopolitical landscape in the region will allow a nuclear Iran to flex its military, economic, and ideological muscles with the assistance of Russia and China, bringing Iran closer than ever to becoming a power with the prestige and influence to guide the region's political course. Meanwhile, American foreign policy in the Middle East has been marked by inconsistencies, including differing strategies implemented in the Iran-Iraq war, the civil war in Syria, the emergence of ISIS, and the chaos in Yemen and Libya. In Volatile State: Iran in the Nuclear Age, global affairs analyst David Oualaalou considers the future of international relations among the United States, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other nations engaged in the region and provides a fresh perspective on the impact a nuclear Iran will have across the globe. To negotiate rapidly changing global power structures, the United States must reevaluate its Middle East strategy, and Volatile State offers a compelling and insightful path forward.

Описание:
During the last years of his life Einstein tried unsuccessfully to unify electromagnetic force with gravitational force geometrically. The nearest he got was through the ideas of Kaluza and Klein who appended a tiny fifth commuting coordinate to spacetime. Researchers have followed in those footsteps by adding at least six more such minuscule coordinates so as to incorporate the other forces of nature, culminating in string theory -- which has unfortunately not met with experimental support. Other proposals have likewise failed or are still waiting to be confirmed experimentally.
The author shows that one can successfully unify gravity with electromagnetism geometrically by adding a single complex anticommuting coordinate to spacetime, which can be associated with the property of 'electricity'. By adding extra four anticommuting properties ('chromicity' and 'neutrinicity'), associated with strong and weak interactions, one can get a unified picture of all the natural forces and particles including the 'standard model' The whole construct relies upon the full specification of events and automatically allows for replication of particle families. The monograph traces the history of attempts of unification before explaining the author's 'where-when-what' scheme.
