Introduces quantitative microscopy and mathematical modelling approaches that have been used to count the copy number of endocytic proteins, infer their localization with nanometer precision, and infer molecular and physical mechanisms that are involved in the robust formation of endocytic vesicles.

Discusses the sympathetic neural response to heat stress, how the sympathetic nervous system coordinates the successful integrative physiological response to orthostasis, and what happens when it encounters both challenges simultaneously. The book includes overviews of mechanisms of thermoregulation and blood pressure regulation in humans.

Today, air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radars are installed on maritime reconnaissance aircraft for long-range detection, tracking and classification of surface ships and for hunting submarines. Such radars were first developed in the UK during WWII. This book describes the ASV radars developed during WWII for long-range maritime surveillance.

This book attempts to explain why 'string theory' may provide the comprehensive underlying theory that describes and explains our world. It is an enthusiastic view of how compactified string/M-theories (plus data that may be reachable) seem to have the possibilities of leading to a comprehensive underlying theory of particle physics and cosmology, perhaps soon. We are living in a hugely exciting era for science, one during which it may be possible to achieve a real and true understanding of our physical world.

Provides an historical description of past efforts in national missile defenses to understand the technical difficulties involved. The book also explains how national security concerns, the evolving international environment, and the complexities of US politics have affected the story.

Provides a rigorous yet "physics-focused" introduction to mathematical logic that is geared towards natural science majors. The book presents a robust introduction to logic, focusing on the specific knowledge and skills that will unavoidably be needed in calculus topics and natural science topics in general.

Lissajous Figures are produced by combining two oscillations at right angles to each other. The figures, drawn by mechanical devices called Harmonographs, have scientific uses, but are also enjoyed for their own beauty. This book is intended for people who enjoy physics or art or both.

A knowledge of atomic theory should be an essential part of every physicist's and chemist's toolkit. This book provides an introduction to the basic ideas that govern our understanding of microscopic matter, and the essential features of atomic structure and spectra are presented in a direct and easily accessible manner.

Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This book will explain how this quantum process can entirely be described in terms classical quantities. This description is derived from general principles, such as causality, unitarity, Lorentz, and gauge symmetries.

An introductory textbook covering the kinematics and dynamics of particles, systems of particles, and kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. The primary focus of the book is on kinematics and dynamics of particles, kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles, and kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies in two- and three-dimensional spaces.

Offers an insight into the physics of nuclear medicine by explaining the principles of radioactivity, how radionuclides are produced and administered as radiopharmaceuticals to the body and how radiation can be detected and used to produce images for diagnosis.

Presents the theory of electromagnetic pulses in a simple and physical way. All pulses discussed are exact solutions of the Maxwell equations, and have finite energy, momentum and angular momentum. The five chapters cover Fundamentals, Solutions of the Wave Equation, Electromagnetic Pulses, Angular Momentum, and Lorentz Transformations.

Rather than rewriting decades of well-tested functionality, this book examines ways to live with the (programming) sins of the past while shoring up security in the most efficient manner possible. The authors explore a range of different options, each making significant progress towards securing legacy programs from malicious inputs.

Fast algorithms for computing the Fourier transform can benefit a large number of applications. This book develops Sparse Fourier Transform algorithms and builds practical systems that use these algorithms to solve key problems in six different applications: wireless networks; mobile systems; computer graphics; medical imaging; biochemistry; and digital circuits.

An introductory textbook on computational methods and techniques intended for undergraduates at the sophomore or junior level in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering. It provides an introduction to programming languages such as FORTRAN 90/95/2000 and covers numerical techniques such as differentiation, integration, root finding, and data fitting.

The increasing availability of photoelectron imaging experiments, along with the increasing sophistication of experimental techniques, and the availability of computational resources for analysis and numerics, has allowed for significant developments in such photoelectron metrology. This volume discusses the fundamental concepts along with recent and emerging applications.

The focus of this volume is to give the reader an introduction, if not at least an appreciation, of the role that linear algebra techniques play in the practical application of quantum mechanical methods. It interlaces aspects of the classical and quantum picture, including a number of both worked and parallel applications.

Presents a bird's-eye view of microwave tubes (MWTs) which continue to be important despite competitive incursions from solid-state devices (SSDs). The book offers a broad and introductory survey to encourage readers to explore the field of MWTs further in selected areas of relevance to their respective interests.

Describes gravity gradiometers, magnetic gradiometers, and electromagnetic (EM) gradiometers. This book provides readers with a comprehensive introduction, history, potential applications, and current developments in relation to some of the most advanced technologies in the 21st Century.

Presents the most recent advances of the application of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to complex flow phenomena of scientific and technical interest with particular focus on the multi-scale modelling of heterogeneous catalysis within nano-porous media and multiphase, multicomponent flows.

Today we know that there are four states of matter: solids, liquids, gasses and plasma. The plasma state is beyond the scope of this book. Although on the microscopic level all matter is made from atoms or molecules, everyday experience tells us that the three states have very different properties. The aim of this book is to examine some of these properties and the underlying physics.

Lists and describes the glia of the hermaphrodite form of C. elegans and summarizes research findings relating to each glial cell. This publication offers an informative overview of worm glia to accompany the excellent and freely available online resources available to the worm research community.

Presents an overview of the concepts, methods, and theories of astrobiology and origins of life research while presenting a summary of the latest findings. The book provides insight into the environments and processes that gave birth to life on our planet, which naturally informs our assessment of the probability that it has arisen (or will arise) elsewhere.

Reviews the essential role of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) for the control of body weight, from its historical description as a "feeding centre" to the current view of this LHA as a cellularly heterogeneous hub that regulates multiple aspects of physiology to influence body weight. The authors also evaluate how specific LHA populations coordinate certain metabolic cues and behaviours.

Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening disease with no known cure. This volume provides a concise yet comprehensive review of the current knowledge about the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The underlying signaling mechanisms involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling and the exaggerated vascular contractility are discussed in depth.

Provides a self-contained presentation of the mathematics and physics of quantum mechanics. Relevant aspects of classical mechanics and electrodynamics are reviewed, and the basic concepts of wave-particle duality are developed as a logical outgrowth of experiments involving blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect, and electron diffraction.
