Theory of Heavy-Fermion Compounds
This book explains modern and interesting physics in heavy-fermion (HF) compounds to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics. It presents a theory of heavy-fermion (HF) compounds such as HF metals, quantum spin liquids, quasicrystals and two-dimensional Fermi systems. The basic low-temperature properties and the scaling behavior of the compounds are described within the fr…

Non-perturbative Description of Quantum Systems
This book introduces systematically the operator method for the solution of the Schrödinger equation. This method permits to describe the states of quantum systems in the entire range of parameters of Hamiltonian with a predefined accuracy. The operator method is unique compared with other non-perturbative methods due to its ability to deliver in zeroth approximation the uniformly suitable est…

Stimulation and Recording Electrodes for Neural Prostheses
In prosthetic devices, electrodes are the interfaces between the implant system and the body. Electrodes may be used for neural stimulation or neural signal recording according to the application. The signals to be recorded are typically small, i.e. some tens of microvolts for single pulse activity to a maximum amplitude of around 80 mV for intracellular potentials measured for example by f…

Encyclopedia of Metagenomics Environmental Metagenomics
Metagenomics has taken off as one of the major cutting-edge fields of research. The field has broad implications for human health and disease, animal production and environmental health. Metagenomics has opened up a wealth of data, tools, technologies and applications that allow us to access the majority of organisms that we still cannot access in pure culture (an estimated 99% of microbial lif…

Stem Cells in Modeling Human Genetic Diseases
The cloning of the sheep Dolly in 1996, demonstrating for the fi rst time that it was possible to reprogram a differentiated mammalian cell to a pluripotent state, opened a new and very promising fi eld of research in regenerative medicine. Although the technology of nuclear transfer from a somatic cell to an enucleated egg was banned for human reproductive cloning, it looked very promising…

Network Coding at Different Layers in Wireless Networks
This book focuses on how to apply network coding at different layers in wireless networks – including MAC, routing, and TCP – with special focus on cognitive radio networks. It discusses how to select parameters in network coding (e.g., coding field, number of packets involved, redundant information ration) in order to be suitable for the varying wireless environments. The author explores h…
