This open access book is devoted to the theoretical and experimental studies of a novel accelerator light source mechanism called steady-state microbunching (SSMB) which promises high-power, high-repetition rate, narrow-band coherent radiation in an electron storage ring. The contribution of this dissertation consists of three parts: first, answers the question of how to realize SSMB from a bea…
This open access book offers a timely and comprehensive review of the field of neurotronics. Gathering cutting-edge contributions from neuroscientists, biologists, psychologists, as well as physicists, microelectronics engineers and information scientists, it gives extensive information on fundamental information pathways in selected nervous systems. It also highlights their relevance as buildi…
This book focuses on the durability problems of existing prestressed concrete (PC) structures caused by strand corrosion, clarifies the mechanical behavior of corroded prestressing strands, corrosion-induced cracking, bond degradation, prestress loss and structural performance deterioration, and proposes the corresponding prediction models. Its aim is to provide the knowledge, tools, and method…
We are material beings in a material world, but we are also beings who have experiences and feelings. How can these subjective states be just a matter of matter? This book looks at this question and much more.
Laporan ini menyajikan program Round-Robin (RR) dan hasil pengujian termasuk evaluasi statistik komite RILEM TC195-DTD yang diberi nama “Rekomendasi untuk metode pengujian deformasi autogenous (AD) dan dilatasi termal (TD) beton usia dini”. Tugas komite adalah untuk menyelidiki pengaturan pengujian linear untuk pengukuran AD dan TD (Dilation Rigs) dalam periode dari pengaturan hingga akhir …
Buku ini berisi kumpulan lengkap Rekomendasi RILEM yang telah dibuat untuk memungkinkan para insinyur, penentu spesifikasi, dan tempat pengujian untuk merancang dan memproduksi beton yang tidak akan mengalami kerusakan yang timbul dari reaksi alkali dalam beton. Ada lima metode pengujian yang direkomendasikan untuk agregat (disebut AAR-1 hingga AAR-5), dan rekomendasi keseluruhan yang menjelask…
Buku ini mengusulkan dua model mekanika kuantum sederhana untuk deskripsi analitis permukaan logam dan nanopartikel. Buku ini memberikan gambaran nyata tentang gaya yang bekerja pada permukaan logam dan menyimpulkan rumus analitis untuk deskripsi sifat fisiknya. Buku ini menjelaskan hubungan antara tegangan dekat permukaan dan parameter permukaan yang umum. Konsep pemisahan benda tiga dimensi m…
An account of the different ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body, from prehistory to the present.An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or "all in the head." This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and …
The first book on active matter, an emerging field focused on programming physical materials to assemble themselves, transform autonomously, and react to information. The past few decades brought a revolution in computer software and hardware; today we are on the cusp of a materials revolution. If yesterday we programmed computers and other machines, today we program matter itself. This has cre…
A study of how materialism and consumerism undermine our quality of life. In The High Price of Materialism, Tim Kasser offers a scientific explanation of how our contemporary culture of consumerism and materialism affects our everyday happiness and psychological health. Other writers have shown that once we have sufficient food, shelter, and clothing, further material gains do little to impr…
