Sommario/riassunto

The ebook introduces undergraduate students to the basic skills required to use non-relativistic quantum mechanics for bound and scattering problems in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics. Initial emphasis is on problems that admit analytic solutions. These results are then used in conjunction with symmetry to develop approximation methods for both bound and scattering problems. The text concentrates on the application of computational problems to introduce the basic concepts of quantum mechanics. These are then used to study more complex problems that can be reduced to one-body problems.

Sommario/riassunto

Oklahoma has long held the dubious honor of having the highest female incarceration rate in the country, nearly twice the national average. In this compelling new book, sociologist Susan Sharp sets out to discover just what has gone so wrong in the state of Oklahoma-and what that might tell us about trends in female incarceration nationwide. The culmination of over a decade of original research, Mean Lives, Mean Laws exposes a Kafkaesque criminal justice system, one that has no problem with treating women as collateral damage in the War on Drugs or with stripping female prisoners of their parental rights. Yet it also reveals the individual histories of women who were jailed in Oklahoma, providing intimate portraits of their lives before, during, and after their imprisonment. We witness the impoverished and abusive



conditions in which many of these women were raised; we get a vivid portrait of their everyday lives behind bars; and we glimpse the struggles that lead many ex-convicts to fall back into the penal system. Through an innovative methodology that combines statistical rigor with extensive personal interviews, Sharp shows how female incarceration affects not only individuals, but also families and communities. Putting a human face on a growing social problem, Mean Lives, Mean Laws raises important questions about both the state of Oklahoma and the state of the nation.

Sommario/riassunto

Product information is far too commercial (labels, publicity, websites, sellers, etc.) and too technical (product descriptions, trade press, laboratory measures, etc.). This information is practically always



scattered, heterogeneous and incomplete. The power of disinformation is not something to be taken lightly - on the contrary, unable to avoid scams and product disinformation, the consumer-customer is often the victim of the economic necessity of companies. The power of disinformation is not something to be taken lightly - on the contrary, unable to avoid scams and product disinformation, the consumer-customer is often the victim of the economic necessity of companies. There is a difference between the reality of a product's qualities of use and environment, and the perception that the client has of it. We would like to trust word-of-mouth and the advice of friends but, due to the amplification of false information through the Internet and social media, their information is usually false. For this reason, when choosing a product, we must learn how to navigate the overload of useless information as well as the deceiving disinformation. The best choice or the best price/quality ratio also contains the risk of a bad choice -- Publisher's website.
