The Frisch-Peierls Memorandum: The Founding Document of the Nuclear Age (SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology)
by Bruce Cameron ReedThis book analyzes a little-known but highly significant document that played a key role in early nuclear history: the Frisch-Peierls memorandum of March 1940. Prepared by Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls, refugee European physicists then at the University of Birmingham, this 10-page document described the physics behind the possibility of creating nuclear weapons utilizing a chain reaction with uranium-235, as well as the associated military, strategic, and ethical implications of such weapons. This remarkable manuscript made its way to the UK government's Committee on the Scientific Survey of Air Warfare, initiating the wartime British nuclear program. In 1943, the British effort merged with the US Manhattan Project; a number of native and naturalized British scientists including Frisch and Peierls, participated in the work that culminated with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This book examines the background to the memorandum, gives biographical sketches of Frisch and Peierls, describes how the memorandum came to be prepared, offers a detailed analysis of its physics content, outlines contemporary parallel events in the American nuclear program, and surveys the influence of the memorandum on the British and US wartime nuclear projects.
Elements of Hypersonic Airbreather Design and Development
by Ernst Heinrich Hirschel Werner Staudacher Mirko Hornung Daniel KlicheThis book sketches key design, development, and engineering issues. To think up an airbreathing hypersonic aircraft is one thing; to design, develop, and produce it is another one. Airframe-propulsion integration plays a central role, with six integration types identified. Most demanding is that of a large aircraft with both lift and propulsion located at its lower side—an approach exemplified early by the US National Aerospace Plane. Topics treated are the flight environment, design sensitivities, fuel considerations, aerothermodynamics, scramjet propulsion, airframe-propulsion integration, structural and materials issues, and aerothermoelasticity. Persistent challenges include laminar-turbulent transition and joint modelling. Capabilities and shortcomings of experimental, computational, and in-flight simulation are considered. The second wave of mathematization—culminating in the concept of the virtual product—has fundamentally transformed flight vehicle design, enabling integrated, high-fidelity simulation across disciplines. In this book, students, design engineers, and technical managers will find ample insight and practical knowledge regarding hypersonic airbreather design.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to KIIT Horizons, Volume 1: Exploring Artificial Intelligence Across Disciplines (Accounting, Finance, Sustainability, Governance & Fraud: Theory and Application)
by Kıymet Tunca Çalıyurt Pratiti NayakThis book explores the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across different disciplines. As AI applications continue to progress, serious concerns arise about effectively protecting the copyright of items they produce. Each country views AI as an author while maintaining rights differently, resulting in the compelling necessity for an international dialogue on legal standards. The present copyright framework does not provide sufficient solutions for AI authorship intricacies and raises doubts about classic notions of invention and source. The distinctions show an increasing demand for a global legal system that can address the unique characteristics of AI-generated content. Investigating legal policies for AI-created works underscores the critical demand for a copyright approach that accounts for human involvement. Recognizing the actual owner and the original creator is complicated when AI operates with substantial control. Present statutes fail to clarify the complexities linked to human artistic contributions. The rationale behind developing a single system is based on valuing AI-produced material as a unique category of intellectual property. As AI becomes more significant in creative fields, legal dialogues must also be similarly enhanced. The approaches considered in the book strive to build improved regulations that represent the progress in AI technology and the basic concepts of copyright. The book goes on to propose a consistent policy model to confront AI obstacles related to intellectual property and would be a valuable read for policy makers and AI enthusiasts alike.
Contemporary Issues in Individual, Couple, and Family Lives and Treatment
by Florence W KaslowThis book focuses on societal changes that have had significant impact on how couples and families function and the complicated issues they face in today's world. Addressing emergent areas that are not well covered elsewhere, this book explores emerging relationship trends and shifting values, dynamics, and expectations that influence and characterized couples and families today. Covering such areas as diverse family types (e.g., LGBTQ families, four and five generation families, families with an international adoptee, postpartum disorders), impact of societal dynamics on couples and families (e.g., relocation and finances, family businesses, political conflicts), new practice trends (e.g., use of psychedelics in couples therapy, incorporation of neuropsychological evaluations for neurosurgery decision-making, innovative primary care practice models) and more, this volume brings the practice of working with couples and families completely up to date. Each chapter is written by an expert(s) in a particular area and includes helpful advice for couple family psychology/therapy practitioners and students. Researchers will benefit from exposure to issues that merit further serious study.
Biomedical Science and Clinical Foundations: A Case-Based Approach
by Cynthia A. StandleyThis book teaches medical students basic science and clinical concepts utilizing over 30 cases that cover all major organ systems. Case-based learning has become a core way to teach the application of foundational material in the basic and clinical sciences in the pre-clerkship years. Medical schools&’ curriculums tend to be traditional, organ systems-based, or problem-based. There are many discipline-based textbooks for students to use in a traditional approach to medical education. For the organ systems-based approach, there are many books dedicated to each organ system, where clinical relevance is tied in with basic science concepts. In a problem-based curriculum, students use clinical cases to stimulate inquiry, knowledge application, and critical thinking. While there are many books available for faculty to learn how to teach in a problem-based approach, there is a paucity of textbooks that provide the breadth and depth of clinical cases integrated with basic medical sciences. This book serves to fill that gap. Written when the authors were fourth year medical students and edited by an experienced educator, each case is designed to present the reader with the information they need to know in a direct and accessible format. Cases are organized by organ system. Each case includes learning objectives (clinical and basic science), patient history, detailed physical exam, labs, imaging, test results, treatment, outcomes, and sample board-style exam questions. In addition, each case has an additional objective to approach topics such as ethics, social determinants of health, behavioral health, healthcare transformation, and public health. This is an ideal resource for first- and second-year medical students to learn these foundational concepts and prepare for USMLE Step 1 and 2 board examinations.
Graph Minors: Theory and Applications (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
by Zdeněk DvořákGraph minor theory is one of the most influential and well-developed areas of graph theory, yet its key results, particularly the work of Robertson and Seymour, have remained scattered across numerous technical papers. This book fills an important gap by providing a comprehensive, structured treatment of the subject. Divided into three main parts, the book first introduces the fundamentals of graph minor theory, focusing on the deep and powerful Minor Structure Theorem. It offers a clear roadmap for understanding the theorem&’s proof, presenting its key ingredients while omitting only the most technical details. The second part explores a variety of applications, from algorithmic results to connections with the Linear Hadwiger Conjecture and graph coloring problems. The final section presents alternative approaches to graph minor theory that do not rely on the Minor Structure Theorem, covering topics such as sublinear separators, density, and isomorphism testing. The exposition is rigorous yet accessible, striving to balance depth with readability. While some parts remain dense due to the complexity of the subject, the author provides valuable insights and explanations that make challenging concepts more approachable. The book not only serves as an excellent learning resource for graduate students and researchers entering the field but also as a long-lasting reference for experts.
Revenue-Raising Institutions, State Organization and Economic Change in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire: The Evolution of Fiscal Mechanisms, Legal Frameworks, and State Capacity (Palgrave Studies in Economic History)
by Bora AltayThis book offers an innovative look at the Ottoman iltizam (tax-farming) system through the lens of historical inquiry and modern theory. Drawing from original archival research as well as theoretical frameworks such as principal-agent theory and game theory, this book explores how the Ottoman state managed revenue collection, delegated authority, and grappled with institutional constraints. The chapters guide readers through the evolution of tax farming from its historical roots and theoretical foundations to detailed case studies. Contributors examine fiscal capacity, state-building, credible commitment, and the unintended consequences of decentralization. The final chapters explore 19th-century constitutional reforms that changed the institutional designs of earlier periods and synthesize key findings. Essential for scholars of Ottoman history, economic history, political economy, and institutional change, this volume redefines how we understand state organization, economic transformation, and governance in non-Western contexts.
A Philosophy for the Future: Escaping from Irrelevance (Synthese Library #508)
by Carlo CellucciThis book offers an alternative to the present prevailing approach to philosophy. For, there have never been so many professional philosophers as there are today, yet philosophy has never been so irrelevant. This is because according to today&’s dominant philosophy, namely analytic philosophy, philosophy does not advance knowledge, but only aims to understand what we already know. As a result, philosophy deals with artifactual puzzles of no abiding significance. This contrasts with the fact that, at some stages of its historical development, philosophy has played a significant role in the advancement of knowledge. To overcome the present impasse of philosophy, this book proposes a view of philosophy as acquisition of knowledge, according to which philosophy can open new ways to knowledge and lead to the birth of new sciences.
Adapting Cecilia, Cuba's Iconic Mulatta (New Caribbean Studies)
by Lucy HarneyThis project explores the expanding corpus of texts and artifacts inspired by Cirilo Villaverde's most well-known literary character, Cecilia Valdés. Drawing on adaptation studies and related transmedia approaches, the book examines how and why this iconographic complex, centered on the mytheme of a disaffected mulatta striving for a better life, has generated such a remarkably persistent proliferation of multi-media instantiations. Chapters address topics and themes central to the interests of Villaverde scholars as well as to Cubanists and Latin Americanists, more broadly, such as gender and sexual roles, race and hybridity, cultural and national identity, and, in general, colonial and post-colonial social contexts in Cuba.

Surfing the Gravitational Waves: Analytic Modelling of Gravitational Waves in General Relativity and Beyond (Springer Theses)
by Tamanna JainThis book discusses the construction of analytical waveform models within the EOB formalism for a specific alternative theory of gravity, the so-called massless scalar-tensor theory. More specifically, authors describe the map of the dynamics of a binary system in scalar-tensor theory into the EOB formalism by building upon the PN expanded Lagrangian of the two-body problem at 3PN order. Authors discuss the generalization of the 2PN EOB Hamiltonian to 3PN order for the conservative part of the dynamics and then compute the scalar-tensor corrections to EOB potentials for generic orbits. Authors also compute the corrections in the EOB Hamiltonian due to tidal effects at 3PN order for circular orbits. Following this, authors describe the derivation of the angular momentum flux in the scalar-tensor theory for both the scalar part and the tensorial part up to 1PN and 1.5PN order, respectively. Authors then use these results along with the energy flux to compute generic orbit radiation reaction effects in the EOB formalism up to 1PN order. Finally, authors use the 3PN conservative dynamics results in the EOB formalism to derive the scattering angle in the scalar-tensor theories, which can be used in future as a check against the scattering angle computed using scattering amplitude techniques. Finally, authors implement up to 3PN conservative dynamics results in the EOB-based waveform model TEOBResumS. Additionally, authors investigate the improvement in the inference of the properties of neutron stars using the information of the observation of electromagnetic counterparts of the GW signal GW170817 and improved fits of the threshold mass. The application of the improved fits to the GW170817 signal implies that a significant part of the parameter space is not supported by the observation of the EM counterpart, implying improved constraints on the neutron star radii and hence the equation-of-state.

Quintic Equations and How to Solve Them
by C.M. LintonThis monograph explores the well-known problem of the solvability of polynomial equations. While equations up to the fourth degree are solvable, there are, as demonstrated by Niels Henrik Abel, no general algebraic formulas leading to the solution of equations of fifth or higher degree. Nevertheless, some fifth degree (quintic) equations are indeed solvable. The author describes how Galois theory can be used to identify those quintic equations that can be solved algebraically and then shows how the solutions can be found. This involves shining a light on some little known works dating back to the late 19th century, bringing new life to a classical problem. This book is a valuable resource for both students and researchers and it constitutes a good basis for a seminar on polynomials and the solvability of equations.
