Studies in Theoretical Physics, Volume 1: Fundamental mathematical methods provides a modern and integrated way to teach the mathematical methods needed in theoretical physics and engineering courses. It introduces analytical and computer problem-solving techniques using Mathematica.

This book builds on the first edition of Fundamentals of Quantum Entanglement to provide a transparent introduction to the principles and physics of quantum entanglement. It is an education tool for those practitioners that were not aware of the physical origin of quantum entanglement: the Dirac-Wheeler-Pryce-Ward physics.

Surface nuclear magnetic resonance (SNMR) is a newly developed, non-invasive geophysical method designed for groundwater prospecting. This book provides an overview of the SNMR method and deals with some of the most pervasive problems faced by the SNMR methodology. The book is intended for a wide but specialist audience of researchers and professionals in hydrogeology and geophysics.

This first volume of 'The Physics of Sound and Music: A complete course text' is a textbook providing a complete resource to accompany undergraduate courses on the physics of sound and music. It contains all the material needed for a one semester, 14 week, four-credit hour-long course, and is supplemented by the lab manual in volume two of this two-volume set.

Biometrics use an individual's unique biological identifiers to verify his or her identity. The present technological evolution has allowed the use of biometrics in many diverse environments, and we are therefore at higher risk of spoofing attacks from fraudsters and hackers. This book discusses anti-spoofing techniques in detail. For each anti-spoofing technology, different experimental configurations, processing strategies, scope for generalization, advantages and limitations are detailed. The book also considers applicability of artificial intelligence techniques for automated biometric spoof detection, and future scope of research in this direction. MATLAB and PYTHON codes for few anti-spoofing schemes are also provided to further the reader's understanding.Key Features: Consolidated approach includes most prevalent spoofing and anti-spoofing strategies.Includes both hardware and software-based approaches to anti-spoofing technologiesFeatures Artificial Intelligence methodsReviews patentsAccompanied by MATLAB and PYTHON codes

Women physicists have few peers or limited mentoring. Until now there has not been a book to give women advice on how to succeed in physics as a career and achieve a happy and balanced life. Including a broad range of issues that confidence building but will cover a broad range of topics both person, technical and social.

This second edition describes the various materials, devices, and technologies required to make electronics capable of operating in harsh conditions, such as exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, or radiation. Implantable medical electronics, vibration-tolerant electronics, space electronics, electromagnetic interference prevention, and methods for hostile electronic jamming and hacking mitigation are also discussed.

Risk analysis involves the quantification of risk and is essential to all areas of science and engineering. Analysing risk ensures that the hazards or detrimental impacts of research and other activities are identified, mitigated and managed.The interpretation and implementation of risk assessment has evolved independently within disciplines, which means that small errors in communication have in some cases led to large scale consequences. The aim of this reference text is to provide a common language and consistent approach to risk assessment across disciplines through the collation of detailed, real examples and scenarios.Examples are drawn from industries including defence, explosive manufacturing, mine action, nuclear, science education and engineering, and focus on key risk topics such as tolerability, data collection, hazard identification and hazard interpretation. The approaches communicate common challenges and are compared and contrasted, with a particular focus on the terminology used.The book is essential reading for scientists and engineers that undertake risk assessment, including industry practitioners, researchers in academia and those with a general interest in improving risk assessment processes. It is also a valuable reference for science and engineering students that regularly undertake risk assessments or study courses on risk assessment.Key Features: Proposes a common language and consistent approach to risk assessment across science and engineering disciplinesCreates a bridge between industrial and academic approaches to risk analysis and encourages cross-disciplinary collaborationCollates detailed practical examples of risk assessmentExplores the diverse undertaking of risk assessment in a wide range of disciplinesAnalyses the approaches taken, with a particular focus on the terminology used
