This book is dedicated to the theory of supernovae, focussing on new computational methods and simulations. It contains three parts: basic principles, numerical methods, and applications. The first part contains the non-formal introduction into the topics of supernovae, Boltzmann kinetic equations ¿ with details of two particles reaction rate calculations ¿ and the transformation of Boltzmann kinetic equations into hydrodynamic elements of sta...

On August 15, 2021, the American and NATO involvement in Afghanistan came to an inglorious end as American diplomats were flown out of the Kabul airport along with thousands of Afghans fleeing the Taliban. How did Afghanistan get to this inglorious moment? Failure in Afghanistan provides a clear explanation of how we got there and why the attempt to create a western style democracy went wrong in this impoverished country. It provides a basic g...

The calculus of variations is one of the oldest subjects in mathematics, and it is very much alive and still evolving. Besides its mathematical importance and its links to other branches of mathematics, such as geometry or differential equations, it is widely used in physics, engineering, economics and biology. This book serves both as a guide to the expansive existing literature and as an aid to the non-specialist - mathematicians, physicists...

This book provides a unique view of Astronomy in Culture, Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy involving ancient civilizations in Latin America, emphasizing scientific and cultural knowledge combined with historical, cognitive, archaeological and anthropological aspects. Topics covered in the book include different associations of ancient civilizations with the stars and planets, whether in farming, architecture, social organization, beliefs, m...

Our physical world is embedded in a geometric environment. Plane geometry has many amazing wonders beyond those that are briefly touched on in school curriculums. The triangle, one of the basic instruments in geometry, has a plethora of unexpected curiosities. Geometric Gems presents one of the largest collections of triangle curiosities currently available, which the authors discuss in an easily understood fashion, requiring nothing more of r...

This unique compendium provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art methods in the extremely 'hot' area of online propaganda detection and monitoring. It discusses the difficulties of developing automated methods and systems for online propaganda and misinformation detection, along with the potential contributions of machine learning techniques.The presented methods are built upon the latest AI and Natural Language Processing tech...

This volume contains 6 chapters which cover several modern topics of quantitative finance and reflect the most significant trends currently shaping this field. The chapters discuss in detail and make original contributions to stochastic/fractional volatility models and their asymptotic solutions (Chapter 1), equity trading, optimal portfolios and related problems (Chapters 2, 5, 6), machine learning and NLP (Chapters 2, 3), and economic scenar...

This book focuses on molecular shapes, molecular symmetry, application of molecular orbital concepts to the compounds of main-group and transition elements of varied symmetry, metal-metal bonding, organometallic compounds such as ferrocene, fundamentals of redox properties, and spectroscopic term symbols. For compounds of d-block elements, it delves into discussions on structures and bonding theories (valence bond, crystal field, and molecular...

This volume comprises essays by Singapore thought-leaders republished from various issues of the annual journal of the National University of Singapore Society called Commentary.The chapters have been curated to provide historical review of Singapore's journey in economic, ecological and social development. Centred around the theme of sustainability, together, they provide a rich account of how the issues of environmental management and human ...

Analytical chemistry is a cornerstone of modern chemistry and many of the traditional techniques remain in use, albeit now mostly in automated form. The cognitive and practical skills developed in analytical work has ensured its inclusion in all chemistry programs worldwide. While laboratory work by its nature incorporates the cognitive and psychomotor learning domains, it does not always fully include the affective domain. This can be often a...

The 21st century is facing an unprecedented trend of population aging, including in many regions in the Asia Pacific region. Governments and healthcare systems recognise the importance of Advance Care Planning (ACP) in helping people to live well and to leave well.ACP is a complex intervention that is culture and context specific. In our universal endeavour to engender person centred care in healthcare systems and a more compassionate society,...

Complex Analytic Geometry is one of the most important fields of Mathematics. It has a long history that culminated in the Cauchy integral formula in the 19th century. The theory was vastly developed and closely related to many other fields of Mathematics as well as the Sciences, where numerous applications have been found. This book starts off with the basic material, introducing characteristic classes mainly via the Chern Weil theory, explai...

According to World Bank (2021), the economic recovery in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been uneven and tumultuous, based on the individual exposure to oil-price fluctuations and response to the pandemic over the last two years. Projections of average regional GDP growth for the MENA region is expected at 2.8% in 2021 and 4.2% in 2022. Some of the countries in the MENA region were affected by public uprisings and demonstrations le...

In 2006, the Signal Processing Department at Blekinge Institute of Technology and Axiom EduTECH in Sweden worked with National Instruments Corporation in Texas, USA to set up the Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR) Project, which operates as a remote laboratory for electric and electronic circuits.The VISIR remote laboratory is currently the only system that delivers practical experiments with electronics without the need to go to a ...

Note: *The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.Basic Matters is a first introduction to quantum mechanics that does not assume any prior knowledge of the subject. The emphasis is on the general structure as the necessary foundation of any understanding. Starting from the simplest quantum phenomenon, the Stern-Gerlach experiment with its choice between two discrete outcomes, and endin...
