Inside the PhotonA Journey to HealthTony FlemingBiophotonics Research Institute, Highett, Australia

This book describes the newly discovered layer of biophotonics underlying all atomic chemistry and biochemistry. As with the variety of snowflakes, the range in biological species within flora for instance is dependent on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic and biomolecular structures. The book examines the phonon, the quantum of acoustic, or vibrational, energy and alongside the photon. Hence the ‘biophonon’ sits aside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.

Einstein Was Right!Karl HessUniversity of Illinois, Urbana, USA

Most modern books on Einstein emphasize the genius of his relativity theory and the corresponding corrections and extensions of the ancient space-time concept. However, Einstein’s opposition to the use of probability in the laws of nature and particularly in the laws of quantum mechanics are often portrayed as outdated. This book takes a different view and shows that Einstein created a “Trojan horse” ready to unleash forces against the use of probability as a basis for the laws of nature.

Schrödinger’s Killer AppRace to Build the World’s First Quantum ComputerJonathan P. DowlingLouisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA

Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government’s development of quantum information science, this book presents an inside look at the government’s quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet.

Quantum Thermodynamic ProcessesEnergy and Information Flow at the NanoscaleGuenter MahlerITP1 Universitaet Stuttgart, Germany

Why does the world around us typically look thermal—from cosmology down to individual embedded spins? Is the transition between mechanical and thermal systems gradual or discontinuous? Pertinent examples can be found in various processes implemented on small quantum systems. Particularly attractive are model systems that can be treated thermodynamically, but—to some extent—also exactly, for example based on pure quantum dynamics. This possibility opens the door to nano-thermodynamics. In this sense, the book aims at a modern perspective of nanoscale applications, defined as a potential realization of various functions as constrained by given resources.

Dictionary of InequalitiesSecond EditionPeter BullenUniversity of British Columbia, Vancouver, CanadaSeries: Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics

A Dictionary of Inequalities ends the dilemma of where to turn to find a result, a related inequality, or the references to the information you need. It provides a concise, alphabetical listing of each inequality-by its common name or its subject-with a short statement of the result, some comments, references to related inequalities, and a list of sources for further information. The author uses only the most elementary of mathematical terminology and does not offer proofs, thus making an interest in inequalities the only prerequisite for using the text.

Multifunctional Materials for Tribological ApplicationsEdited by

Robert J. K. WoodUniversity of Southampton, UK

As designs of machine components require cheaper, lighter, smarter, longer-lasting, and more environmentally friendly surfaces that see applications that are hotter, faster, highly pressurized, and exposed to other increasingly hostile environments, there is a need for engineering surfaces to be multifunctional. This multifunctionality can be achieved by the use of modern advanced materials and coatings. This is a challenging area because usually there is antagonism between obtaining low friction and low wear as well as between high corrosion resistance and low wear. This book focuses on the increasingly important need for engineering surfaces to be multifunctional, with a focus on tribological applications. It presents the state of the art and covers a range of multifunctional coatings and materials that relate to a very wide range of engineering applications.
