Transformation Thermotics and Extended Theories
This open access book describes the theory of transformation thermotics and its extended theories for the active control of macroscopic thermal phenomena of artificial systems, which is in sharp contrast to classical thermodynamics comprising the four thermodynamic laws for the passive description of macroscopic thermal phenomena of natural systems. This monograph consists of two parts, i.e., i…

The Search for Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
A host of astrophysical measurements suggest that most of the matter in the Universe is an invisible, nonluminous substance that physicists call “dark matter.” Understanding the nature of dark matter is one of the greatest challenges of modern physics and is of paramount importance to our theories of cosmology and particle physics. This text explores one of the leading hypotheses to explain…

Theory and Practice of Sociosensitive and Socioactive Systems
Interactive adaptive systems increasingly become part of our everyday life. Which factors could shape this development and under which conditions will interactions with technical systems be deemed socially appropriate? The "FActors of Social Appropriateness" (FASA) Model presented in this Open Access-book provides a structured approach to our understanding of social appropriateness in human-tec…

The Tannin Process
SINCE the publication of the first edition the process described in it has been greatly improved. The substratum of gelatine may now be dispensed with, far greater sensitiveness can be obtained, and, which is more important, landscape views can at the same time be produced of better quality. The process as managed at first had one serious fault, which rendered it less suitable for ordinary l…
