Now, the addition of The 2008 Pfeiffer Annual: Management Development builds on that great tradition to offer an essential source of guidance, opinions, and practical solutions on issues of interest and concern to training and human resource professionals.The 2008J-B Pfeiffer Annual Vol1Industrial managementManagementElectronic books.Industrial management.Management.658Preziosi Robert C966616Pfeiffer & Company.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451138203321The 2008 Pfeiffer annual2193730UNINA03855nam 22006375 450 991030038310332120200630104618.03-319-01210-X10.1007/978-3-319-01210-0(CKB)2670000000429066(EBL)1466608(SSID)ssj0001010785(PQKBManifestationID)11527644(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001010785(PQKBWorkID)11000772(PQKB)10745164(MiAaPQ)EBC1466608(DE-He213)978-3-319-01210-0(PPN)172423694(EXLCZ)99267000000042906620130920d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGeneralized Perturbations in Modified Gravity and Dark Energy /by Jonathan Pearson1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (213 p.)Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Description based upon print version of record.3-319-01209-6 Includes bibliographical references.Gravitational theories and cosmology -- The effective action formalism for cosmological perturbations -- Metric only and first order scalar field theory -- High derivative theories -- Explicit theories -- Connections to massive gravity -- Generalized fluid description -- Observational signatures of generalized cosmological perturbations -- Discussion and final remarks.When predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity are compared against observations of our Universe, a huge inconsistency is found. The most popular fix for this inconsistency is to "invent" around 94% of the content of the universe: dark matter and dark energy. The dark energy is some exotic substance responsible for the apparent observed acceleration of the Universe. Another fix is to modify the theory of gravity: it is entirely plausible that Einstein's theory of General Relativity breaks down on cosmological scales, just as Newton's theory of gravity breaks down in the extreme gravitational field of the Sun. There are many alternative theories of gravity,  each with the aim of describing observations of our Universe where General Relativity fails. Whether it is dark energy or some modified theory of gravity, it is clear that there is some "dark sector" in the Universe. In this thesis the author constructs a unifying framework for understanding the observational impact of general classes of dark sector theories, by formulating equations of state for the dark sector perturbations.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053GravitationCosmologyMathematical physicsClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Gravitation.Cosmology.Mathematical physics.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Cosmology.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.530530.11Pearson Jonathanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791356BOOK9910300383103321Generalized Perturbations in Modified Gravity and Dark Energy1768737UNINA
