Sommario/riassunto |
|
A discussion of the fundamental changes that occur when dynamical systems from the fields of nonlinear optics, solids, hydrodynamics and biophysics are scaled down to nanosize. The authors are leading scientists in the field and each of their contributions provides a broader introduction to the specific area of research. In so doing, they include both the experimental and theoretical point of view, focusing especially on the effects on the nonlinear dynamical behavior of scaling, stochasticity and quantum mechanics.For everybody working on the synthesis and integration of nanoscopic device |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A Case for the Existence of God explores fundamental questions about why our world exists and how it functions, using principles of logic, physics, and theology to show that a belief in God can explain more about our world than even the most sophisticated science. In a time when religion and science are often portrayed as diametrically opposed, Dean Overman presents a refreshing view of the interplay between science and religion and makes a compelling case for the existence of God and his role in our world.<s |
