Hadron Form Factors From Basic Phenomenology to QCD Sum Rules

Hadron Form Factors From Basic Phenomenology to QCD Sum Rules

This book introduces the phenomenology and theory of hadron form factors in a consistent manner deriving step-by-step the key equations defining the form factors from the matrix elements of hadronic transitions and deriving their symmetry relations. Explained are several general concepts of particle theory and phenomenology exemplified by hadron form factors. The main emphasis here is on learning the analytical methods in particle phenomenology. Many examples of hadronic processes involving form factors are considered from the pion electromagnetic scattering to heavy B-meson decays. In the second part of the book modern techniques of the form factor calculation based on the method of sum rules in the theory of strong interactions quantum chromodynamics are introduced in an accessible manner. This book will be a useful guide for graduate students and early-career researchers working in the field of particle phenomenology and experiments.

Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Provides One Unified Formula That Gives Solutions to Several Types of GSEsGeneralized Sylvester equations (GSEs) are applied in many fields including applied mathematics systems and control and signal processing. Generalized Sylvester Equations: Unified Parametric Solutions presents a unified parametric approach for solving various types of GSEs. In an extremely neat and elegant matrix form the book provides a single unified parametric solution formula for all the types of GSEs which further reduces to a specific clear vector form when the parameter matrix F in the equations is a Jordan matrix. Particularly when the parameter matrix F is diagonal the reduced vector form becomes extremely simple. The first chapter introduces several types of GSEs and gives a brief overview of solutions to GSEs. The two subsequent chapters then show the importance of GSEs using four typical control design applications and discuss the F‐coprimeness of a pair of polynomial matrices. The next several chapters deal with parametric solutions to GSEs. The final two chapters present analytical solutions to normal Sylvester equations (NSEs) including the well‐known continuous‐ and discrete‐time Lyapunov equations. An appendix provides the proofs of some theorems. The book can be used as a reference for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in applied mathematics and control systems analysis and design. It will also be useful to readers interested in research and applications based on Sylvester equations. | Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

The studies presented in this book demonstrate that a new concept in the management of carious intestinal disorders should be considered namely that common nutrients may protect or heal the mucosa by virtue of the particular form and mode in which they are delivered to the intestinal lumen and their availability to the mucosal cells. The substitution of intact protein in the formula by hydrolysate appears to me an important factor. | Uses of Elemental Diets in Clinical Situations

Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading

Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading

This book presents models that capture the nonlinear response of piles subjected to lateral forces. Utilising a consistent approach encompassing new mathematical models it offers solutions presented as closed-form expressions and underpinned by the same set of 3-5 measurable soil-input parameters. These focus on nonlinear response of mono piles anchored piles pile groups and torsional piles as well as passive piles subjected to soil movement induced in shearing sliding slopes or excavation and earthquake shaking. The models can also be used for pipelines and similar beam structures. Solutions are provided in the form of design charts with each parameter obtained using available test data and illustrated with real-world cases. The models reveal for the first time the mysterious mechanisms of amplification resulting from back-rotation which have incurred the collapse of structures such as the Showa Bridge and Nicoll Highway as well as the distortion of piles during earthquakes. Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading is ideal for practicing foundation engineers and students at graduate level. Wei Dong Guo is co-founder of Hans Innovation Group and former Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong Australia. He is a Chartered Professional Engineer and is a Fellow of Engineers Australia by whom he was awarded the 2012 Warren Medal.

Morphodynamics

Morphodynamics

Morphodynamics is defined as the unique interaction among environment functional morphology developmental constraints phylogeny and time—all of which shape the evolution of life. These fabricational patterns and similarities owe their regularity not to a detailed genetic program but to extrinsic factors which may be mechanical chemical or biological in nature. These self-organizing mechanisms are the focus of Morphodynamics. Illustrated by numerous examples from across the biological spectrum this book embodies the foundation of noted paleontologist Adolf Seilacher’s thinking on the study of morphodynamics. It represents his unique approach of presenting paleontology from an ecological and constructional perspective rather than a purely taxonomic one. The hallmark of Seilacher’s storied career has been a constructional and functional focus. He begins by discussing the basic principles—form pattern formation ecology and evolution as well as the factors that override those processes. Next he examines how morphodynamic principles are implemented in various invertebrates including single-celled protists Ediacarans sponges coelenterates shelled organisms worms arthropods and echinoderms. The final chapter explores how morphogenetic principles may apply to clonal colonial organisms. Summarizing seventy years of research into the interactions of form function and evolution the book is copiously illustrated with the author’s own distinctive drawings and an abundance of photos. It provides a framework for readers to pose their own questions and sharpen their interpretive skills on this fascinating topic.

Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision

Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision

Planning measuring and paying attention to details form the basis for all successful engineering operations. Measurements pervade everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A comprehensive all-encompassing guide to measurements Handbook of Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements—an approach that sets it apart from other handbooks. The popular saying measure twice and cut once bears out the importance of measurements in human endeavors. This handbook covers both qualitative and quantitative topics of measurement. It opens with a chapter on the fundamentals of measurement and includes coverage of human-centric measurements such as measurement of personnel productivity and contractor performance. It concludes with three appendices on measurement references conversion factors equations formulas and statistics for measurement. It is well understood that humans cannot manage anything that cannot be measured. All elements involved in our day-to-day decision making involve some form of measurement whether in the kitchen retail sports service operations geographical exploration health care delivery worker productivity clothing design engineering product design or space craft launching. Measuring an attribute of a system and then analyzing it against some standard some specification some best practice or some benchmark empower a decision maker to take appropriate and timely actions. This book gives you a guide for sustainable practices to ensure accurate measurements helping you make decisions backed by metrics. | Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision
