Fire Effects on Soil Properties

Fire Effects on Soil Properties

Wildland fires are occurring more frequently and affecting more of Earth's surface than ever before. These fires affect the properties of soils and the processes by which they form but the nature of these impacts has not been well understood. Given that healthy soil is necessary to sustain biodiversity ecosystems and agriculture the impact of fire on soil is a vital field of research. Fire Effects on Soil Properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world dealing with ash meso and macrofauna smouldering fires recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils. It also describes current best practice methodologies for research and monitoring of fire effects and new methodologies for future research. This is the first time information on this topic has been presented in a single volume and the book will be an important reference for students practitioners managers and academics interested in the effects of fire on ecosystems including soil scientists geologists forestry researchers and environmentalists.

Lectures On Quantum Mechanics

Lectures On Quantum Mechanics

These lecture notes comprise a three-semester graduate course in quantum mechanics at the University of Illinois. There are a number of texts which present the basic topics very well; but since a fair quantity of the material discussed in my course was not available to the students in elementary quantum mechanics books I was asked to prepare written notes. In retrospect these lecture notes seemed sufficiently interesting to warrant their publication in this format. The notes presented here in slightly revised form consitutute a self-contained course in quantum mechanics from first principles to elementary and relativistic one-particle mechanics. Prerequisite to reading these notes is some familiarity with elementary quantum mechanics at least at the undergraduate level. Preferably the reader should already have met the uncertainty principle and the concept of a wave function. Prerequisites also include sufficient acquaintance with complex cariables to be able to do simple contour integrals and to understand words such as poles and branch cuts. An elementary knowledge of Fourier transforms and series is necessary. I also assume an awareness of classical electrodynamics. | Lectures On Quantum Mechanics

On the Shoulders of Giants

On the Shoulders of Giants

Mathematics is the only science with a methodology based upon deductive logic whereas physics is a quantitative science based upon experiment and observation in which trial and error are inherent. Physics uses the most relevant mathematics for example using group theory to explain the theoretical basis for the crystalline structure of solids an illustration of how time and time again a mathematical theorem perhaps developed by a Greek philosopher is relevant to today's newly developed physics proof. On the Shoulders of Giants investigates the relationship between the disciplines of physics and mathematics and shows how many of the most significant advances of 20th-century physics rely on mathematics developed sometimes much earlier with no particular physics application in mind. Quoting from mathematicians such as Poincar nd Euclid and physicists such as Newton and Feynman the links between the two disciplines are explored in the author's entertaining style providing a fascinating account of the twists and turns in scientific progress through the ages. Challenging stimulating and questioning the book explains how the uncanny ability of formal and abstract mathematics can interpret the properties of the physical world. Using a wide ranging set of examples it illustrates the manner in which mathematics has been applied to physics and even points to directions for future research. The book discusses how to fill space without leaving gaps; Euclidean geometry its limitations and the bending of space; the laws of musical harmony sound vibrations and the confinement of electrons in solids; how to tile a floor efficiently; Newton's Laws of Motion chaos and the weather; group theory and garlic; the laws of chance; route-planning in Konigsberg with Euler; the rules that turn bath bubbles into suds; the shape of soot; and the Schr dinger equation and why a pendulum can never stop.

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Covering the elementary aspects of the physics of phases transitions and the renormalization group this popular book is widely used both for core graduate statistical mechanics courses as well as for more specialized courses. Emphasizing understanding and clarity rather than technical manipulation these lectures de-mystify the subject and show precisely how things work. Goldenfeld keeps in mind a reader who wants to understand why things are done what the results are and what in principle can go wrong. The book reaches both experimentalists and theorists students and even active researchers and assumes only a prior knowledge of statistical mechanics at the introductory graduate level. Advanced never-before-printed topics on the applications of renormalization group far from equilibrium and to partial differential equations add to the uniqueness of this book. | Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Computational Techniques for Text Summarization based on Cognitive Intelligence

Computational Techniques for Text Summarization based on Cognitive Intelligence

The book is concerned with contemporary methodologies used for automatic text summarization. It proposes interesting approaches to solve well-known problems on text summarization using computational intelligence (CI) techniques including cognitive approaches. A better understanding of the cognitive basis of the summarization task is still an open research issue; an extent of its use in text summarization is highlighted for further exploration. With the ever-growing text people in research have little time to spare for extensive reading where summarized information helps for a better understanding of the context at a shorter time. This book helps students and researchers to automatically summarize the text documents in an efficient and effective way. The computational approaches and the research techniques presented guides to achieve text summarization at ease. The summarized text generated supports readers to learn the context or the domain at a quicker pace. The book is presented with reasonable amount of illustrations and examples convenient for the readers to understand and implement for their use. It is not to make readers understand what text summarization is but for people to perform text summarization using various approaches. This also describes measures that can help to evaluate determine and explore the best possibilities for text summarization to analyse and use for any specific purpose. The illustration is based on social media and healthcare domain which shows the possibilities to work with any domain for summarization. The new approach for text summarization based on cognitive intelligence is presented for further exploration in the field. | Computational Techniques for Text Summarization based on Cognitive Intelligence

Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road

Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road

Increasing levels of driving automation has changed the role of the driver from active operator to passive monitor. However Systems Design has been plagued by criticism for failing to acknowledge the new role of the driver within the system network. To understand the driver's new role within an automated driving system the theory of Distributed Cognition is adopted. This approach provides a useful framework for the investigation of allocation of function between multiple agents in the driving system. A Systems Design Framework has been developed that outlines how the Distributed Cognition paradigm can be applied to driving using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. | Automobile Automation Distributed Cognition on the Road
