Download or read book The Perturbed Self written by Mengxing Fu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By comparison of late nineteenth-century ghost stories between China and Britain, this monograph traces the entangled dynamics between ghost story writing, history-making, and the moulding of a gendered self. Associated with times of anxiety, groups under marginalisation, and tensions with orthodox narratives, ghost stories from two distinguished literary traditions are explored through the writings and lives of four innovative writers of this period, namely Xuan Ding (宣鼎) and Wang Tao (王韬) in China and Vernon Lee and E. Nesbit in Britain. Through this cross-cultural investigation, the book illuminates how a gendered self is constructed in each culture and what cultural baggage and assets are brought into this construction. It also ventures to sketch a common poetics underlying a "literature of the anomaly" that can be both destabilising and constructive, subversive, and coercive. This book will be welcomed by the Gothic studies community, as well as scholars working in the fields of women’s writing, nineteenth-century British literature, and Chinese literature.

Download or read book Partial Differential Equations and Spectral Theory written by Michael Demuth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of the international conference PDE2000 was to bring together specialists from different areas of modern analysis, mathematical physics and geometry, to discuss not only the recent progress in their own fields but also the interaction between these fields. The special topics of the conference were spectral and scattering theory, semiclassical and asymptotic analysis, pseudodifferential operators and their relation to geometry, as well as partial differential operators and their connection to stochastic analysis and to the theory of semigroups. The scientific advisory board of the conference in Clausthal consisted of M. Ben-Artzi (Jerusalem), Chen Hua (Peking), M. Demuth (Clausthal), T. Ichinose (Kanazawa), L. Rodino (Turin), B.-W. Schulze (Potsdam) and J. Sjöstrand (Paris). The book is aimed at researchers in mathematics and mathematical physics with interests in partial differential equations and all its related fields.

This book was released on 2008-09-03 with total page 1125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. Genesis 1,3 Light is not only the basis of our biological existence, but also an essential source of our knowledge about the physical laws of nature, ranging from the seventeenth century geometrical optics up to the twentieth century theory of general relativity and quantum electrodynamics. Folklore Don’t give us numbers: give us insight! A contemporary natural scientist to a mathematician The present book is the second volume of a comprehensive introduction to themathematicalandphysicalaspectsofmodernquantum?eldtheorywhich comprehends the following six volumes: Volume I: Basics in Mathematics and Physics Volume II: Quantum Electrodynamics Volume III: Gauge Theory Volume IV: Quantum Mathematics Volume V: The Physics of the Standard Model Volume VI: Quantum Gravitation and String Theory. It is our goal to build a bridge between mathematicians and physicists based on the challenging question about the fundamental forces in • macrocosmos (the universe) and • microcosmos (the world of elementary particles). The six volumes address a broad audience of readers, including both und- graduate and graduate students, as well as experienced scientists who want to become familiar with quantum ?eld theory, which is a fascinating topic in modern mathematics and physics.
Download or read book Lectures On Quantum Mechanics Volume 3 Perturbed Evolution written by Berthold-georg Englert and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note: The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.Perturbed Evolution has a closer link to Simple Systems than that volume has to Basic Matters, but any reader familiar with the subject matter of a solid introduction to quantum mechanics - such as Dirac's formalism of kets and bras, Schrödinger's and Heisenberg's equations of motion, and the standard examples that can be treated exactly, with harmonic oscillators and hydrogen-like atoms among them - can cope with the somewhat advanced material of this volume. The basics of kinematics and dynamics are reviewed at the outset, including discussions of Bohr's principle of complementarity and Schwinger's quantum action principle. The Born series, the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and Fermi's golden rule are recurring themes in the treatment of the central subject matter - the evolution in the presence of perturbing interactions for which there are no exact solutions as one has them for the standard examples in Simple Systems. The scattering by a localized potential is regarded as a perturbed evolution of a particular kind and is dealt with accordingly. The unique features of the scattering of indistinguishable quantum objects illustrate the nonclassical properties of bosons and fermions and prepare the groundwork for a discussion of multi-electron atoms.

Download or read book Fields Strings and Quantum Gravity written by Hanying Guo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the recent problems in theoretical physics is that the glamorous new string theory is just too elegant, too sublime, to associate with sloppy old reality. Some progress has been made at making string theory compatible with other theories--quantum gravity and conventional field theory--but it is unclear how to verify and examine the conjugation experimentally. The ten papers here struggle with the mechanics of applying theory to practice. From a symposium in Beijing, which was interrupted on June 4th by people down in Tiananmen Square struggling with the same problem in a different field of endeavor. Book club price, $30.

Download or read book Toward a Process Approach in Psychology written by Paul van Geert and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological science constructs much of the knowledge that we consume in our everyday lives. This book is a systematic analysis of this process, and of the nature of the knowledge it produces. The authors show how mainstream scientific activity treats psychological properties as being fundamentally stable, universal, and isolable. They then challenge this status quo by inviting readers to recognize that dynamics, context-specificity, interconnectedness, and uncertainty, are a natural and exciting part of human psychology – these are not things to be avoided and feared, but instead embraced. This requires a shift toward a process-based approach that recognizes the situated, time-dependent, and fundamentally processual nature of psychological phenomena. With complex dynamic systems as a framework, this book sketches out how we might move toward a process-based praxis that is more suitable and effective for understanding human functioning.

Download or read book Robust Methods for Dense Monocular Non Rigid 3D Reconstruction and Alignment of Point Clouds written by Vladislav Golyanik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vladislav Golyanik proposes several new methods for dense non-rigid structure from motion (NRSfM) as well as alignment of point clouds. The introduced methods improve the state of the art in various aspects, i.e. in the ability to handle inaccurate point tracks and 3D data with contaminations. NRSfM with shape priors obtained on-the-fly from several unoccluded frames of the sequence and the new gravitational class of methods for point set alignment represent the primary contributions of this book. About the Author: Vladislav Golyanik is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany. The current focus of his research lies on 3D reconstruction and analysis of general deformable scenes, 3D reconstruction of human body and matching problems on point sets and graphs. He is interested in machine learning (both supervised and unsupervised), physics-based methods as well as new hardware and sensors for computer vision and graphics (e.g., quantum computers and event cameras).
