The recycling of asphalt mixtures has significant contributions towards the reduction in greenhouse gases, pollution, natural resources, and energy consumption. Sustainable road materials and technologies can provide a powerful boost to “carbon-neutral strategies”, and so it is crucial to continue moving towards improving these technologies and theories.This Special Issue includes new findi…
The quantum theory is the first theoretical approach that helps one to successfully understand the atomic and sub-atomic worlds which are too far from the cognition based on the common intuition or the experience of the daily-life. This is a very coherent theory in which a good system of hypotheses and appropriate mathematical methods allow one to describe exactly the dynamics of the quantum sy…
The development of quantum mechanics has taken physics in a vastly new direction from that of classical physics from the very start. In fact, there continue at present to be many developments in the subject of a very fundamental nature, such as implications for the foundations of physics, physics of entanglement, geometric phases, gravity and cosmology and elementary particles as well. It is ho…
Quantum Field Theory is now well recognized as a powerful tool not only in Particle Physics but also in Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Solid State Physics and even in Mathematics. In this book some current applications of Quantum Field Theory to those areas of modern physics and mathematics are collected, in order to offer a deeper understanding of known facts and unsolved problems.
esearch in quantum communication requires knowledge of the information theory and teleportation of information in any physical form using the quantum field as media of all different processes and aspects on the managing of their information, their boson processing and their technologies. Likewise, one of the most important principles in researching is the quantum intertwining to define the mana…
In the medical world, the problems of back and spine are usually inseparable. They can take various forms ranging from the low back pain to scoliosis and osteoporosis. Medical Imag‐ ing provides very useful information about the patient's condition, and the adopted treat‐ ment depends on the symptoms described and the interpretation of this information
Neural networks are increasingly being used in the field of dentistry. The aim of this literature review was to visualize the state of the art of artificial intelligence in dental applications, such as the detection of teeth, caries, filled teeth, crown, prosthesis, dental implants and endodontic treatment
With the popularization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications and the continuous development of the power grid network, identifying power line scenarios in advance is very important for the safety of low-altitude flight. The power line scene recognition (PLSR) under complex background environments is particularly important. The complex background environment of power lines is usually…
Traditional breeding resulted from 10 000 years in the domestication syndrome, which is a genetic erosion over time causing a drastic reduction in the variability available for breeding in recent decades (Ahmar et al., 2020; Meyer et al., 2012). Genetic diversity is nevertheless necessary for the creation of new varieties adapted to the changing needs of agricultural production: adaptation …
Unlike the many targets considered for the detection or identification of molecules (e.g. aflatoxin) or pathogens, GMOs are a highly political–technical– scientific issue.
