Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scimat (science of human) is a new multidiscipline proposed by Lui Lam in 2007. Scimat treats all studies on human as a unified enterprise. In terms of content, Scimat = Humanities + Social Science + Medical Science. Scimat advocates the use of humanities-science synthesis in understanding humans, and collaboration between the humanists and natural scientists. The ultimate aim of Scimat is to better humanity by bettering the humanities.It has done so in the study of history, art, philosophy, and science, giving rise to some interesting and important results such as the appearance of a new discipline called Histophysics (physics of history), a new interpretation of art's origin and nature, a better understanding of the differences between the philosophies of the West and East, and a rigorous definition of science.Scimat Anthology collects 27 original articles in the humanities, published or unpublished from 2000 to 2024, with 26 by the founder of Scimat, ending with an in-depth analysis of Stephen Hawking and his legacy.Readership ranges from high school students and laypeople to professors of all disciplines, who are interested in what the humanities and science are about, as well as new ideas in bridging them.
Download or read book Handbook of Liquid Crystals written by Dietrich Demus and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. The Handbook of Liquid Crystals is a unique compendium of knowledge on all aspects of liquid crystals. In over 2000 pages the Handbook provides detailed information on the basic principles of both low– and high–molecular weight materials, as well as the synthesis, characterization, modification, and applications (such as in computer displays or as structural materials) of all types of liquid crystals. The five editors of the Handbook are internationally renowned experts from both industry and academia and have drawn together over 70 leading figures in the field as authors. The four volumes of the Handbook are designed both to be used together or as stand–alone reference sources. Some users will require the whole set, others will be best served with one or two of the volumes. Volume 1 deals with the basic physical and chemical principles of liquid crystals, including structure–property relationships, nomenclature, phase behavior, characterization methods, and general synthesis and application strategies. As such this volume provides an excellent introduction to the field and a powerful learning and teaching tool for graduate students and above. Volumes 2A and 2B concentrate on low–molecular weight materials, for example those typically used in display technology. A high quality survey of the literature is provided along with full details of molecular design strategies, phase characterization and control, and applications development. These volumes are therefore by far the most detailed reference sources on these industrially very important materials, ideally suited for professionals in the field. Volume 3 concentrates on high–molecular weight, or polymeric, liquid crystals, some of which are found in structural applications and others occur as natural products of living systems. A high–quality literature survey is complemented by full detail of the synthesis, processing, analysis, and applications of all important materials classes. This volume is the most comprehensive reference source on these materials, and is therefore ideally suited for professionals in the field.
Download or read book From Crystal to Columnar Discotic Liquid Crystal Phases written by Siwei Leng and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Four series of potential organic electronic materials have been designed and synthesized to investigate the effects of fused rigid ring size and shape as well as the location, lengths, and chemical structures of their flexible side chain on phase properties. One of these series of conjugated compounds, TQPP-[SCn]4, was synthesized. It was determined that the transition temperatures of this series of compounds can be tuned by modifying the attached alkyl chains. DSC, WAXD, and SAED studies indicated that the condensed state phase transitions of these compounds were all crystal-crystal transitions. To achieve liquid crystalline phases, another of series compounds, TQPP-[t-Bu]2-[OR(B)]4 with an attached bulky tert-butyl group at the 2 and 11 positions have been designed. A columnar liquid crystalline phase (Colr) with C2/m symmetry at high temperature has been identified in these compounds. A high ordered liquid crystalline phase at room temperature has been obtained in TQPP-[t-Bu]2-[OC20H41B]4. By extending the rigid core, TPPQPP-[t-Bu]2-[OR(B)]4 was synthesized and shows a higher isotropization temperature than those with the same substituents in TQPP-[t-Bu-[OR(B)]2. The Colr phase with C2/m symmetry also has been detected at high temperature in TPPQPP-[t-Bu]2-[OC20H41B]4. A unique phase with a crystalline phase within each of the columns while lacking the long-range order among the side chains at room temperature has also been identified. It is the result of a well-adjusted balance between the size of the core and the length and structure of side chains. Thermal behaviors of HDATAN-[OR]6 were complicated when the symmetry of the rigid core changes to three-fold. A crystalline phase only can be formed at elevated temperature during heating or by mechanical shear in compounds with shorter sides chains (R= -C10H21 and -C11H23). Only crystalline phases were identified in the compounds with longer side chains (R= -C14H21 and -C15H23). Based on the experimental results observed, we can conclude that changes in the alkyl tail's architecture affect the phase behavior more significantly than changes in its length. Tailoring the alkyl tail size, core size, and core shape leads to a promising way to design the discotic columnar liquid crystalline phase."--Abstract.

Download or read book Humanities Science Scimat From Two Cultures To Bettering Humanity written by Lui Lam and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humanities (and social science) are the disciplines that study human, which are essential in helping us to understand ourselves and others and the world around us. Since science is the study of everything in the universe and human is a material system consisting of the same atoms that make up other nonhuman systems, humanities are part of science. Thus, understanding correctly what science is about will be helpful in making progress in the humanities. To patch up the gap between the 'two cultures' derived from these two branches of knowledge, the best way is to recognize their common root in science and work through humanities-science synthesis, as advocated by Scimat, the new multidiscipline proposed by the author in 2007. Furthermore, raising the scientific level of the humanities, which include decision making, will help to make the world better.Humanities, Science, Scimat details these issues, consisting of three parts. Part I is about Scimat and the new humanities (history, philosophy, art). Part II is on the origin and nature of science, new insights on the life and works of selected scientists, some thoughts on science communication/popularization, and case examples of science innovation — all from the Scimat perspective. While Parts I and II are short essays with no references (with rare exceptions), Part III are longer articles with full references that supplement Parts I and II. Each essay/article starts with a color picture. They are all easy to read — nothing technical.In short, this book contains the basic knowledge about the humanities and science that everyone should know. The aimed readership is anyone, from high school students and laypeople to the professors, who are interested in what the humanities and science are about, and how we can work together to achieve a better humanity.

Download or read book All About Science Philosophy History Sociology Communication written by Lui Lam and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lot of confusion and misconception concerning science. The nature and contents of science is an unsettled problem. For example, Thales of 2,600 years ago is recognized as the father of science but the word science was introduced only in the 14th century; the definition of science is often avoided in books about philosophy of science. This book aims to clear up all these confusions and present new developments in the philosophy, history, sociology and communication of science. It also aims to showcase the achievement of China's top scholars in these areas. The 18 chapters, divided into five parts, are written by prominent scholars including the Nobel laureate Robin Warren, sociologist Harry Collins, and physicist-turned-historian Dietrich Stauffer.
