Dalam sebuah wawancara tahun 1987, José Saramago dengan fasih mengungkapkan apa yang dapat dianggap sebagai manifesto politik-filosofisnya: "Manusia tidak boleh puas dengan peran sebagai pengamat belaka. Mereka memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap dunia; mereka harus secara aktif terlibat dan campur tangan." Pada tahun 1998, penulis terkenal itu dianugerahi Hadiah Nobel Sastra. Jadi Saramago tidak…
Buku pegangan ini ditulis untuk pasien dan masyarakat umum yang ingin memahami lebih banyak tentang pendekatan, metode, dan bahasa yang digunakan oleh peneliti layanan kesehatan. Keterlibatan pasien dan masyarakat (PPI) dalam penelitian kini menjadi persyaratan sebagian besar program penelitian kesehatan utama, dan buku ini dirancang untuk membekali individu-individu ini dengan pengetahuan dan …

Identifying where to access data, extracting a needed subset from available resources, and knowing how to interpret the format in which data are presented can be time-consuming tasks for scientists and engineers. By collecting all of this information and providing a background in physics, An Introduction to the Passage of Energetic Particles thr
This open access book allows the reader to grasp the main bulk of fluid flow problems at a brisk pace. Starting with the basic concepts of conservation laws developed using continuum mechanics, the incompressibility of a fluid is explained and modeled, leading to the famous Navier-Stokes equation that governs the dynamics of fluids. Some exact solutions for transient and steady-state cases in C…
Japanese is definitely one of the best-known languages in typological literature. For example, typologists often assume that Japanese is a nominative-accusative language. However, it is often overlooked that Japanese, or more precisely, Tokyo Japanese, is just one of various local varieties of the Japonic language family (Japanese and Ryukyuan). In fact, the Japonic languages exhibit a surprisi…
This book presents an extended introduction to the theory of hadrons, the elementary particles that occur in the atomic nucleus. The main emphasis is on the theory of the complex angular momentum plane 'Regge theory'. In 1959 Tullio Regge demonstrated that it is useful to regard angular momentum as a complex variable when discussing solutions of the Schro?dinger equation for non-relativistic po…
An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general. Whenever possible, Dr. Mann takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging ar
Many scientists and engineers spend their lives designing, constructing, and running accelerators, yet few universities include a study of them in their curricula. This book is a straightforward introduction used by undergraduates and postgraduate students as well as by professional staff attending the summer schools run by the big accelerator laboratories. Research physicists should read it fo…
