Aspiration and Ambivalence analyzes the U.S. and international efforts in Afghanistan and offers detailed recommendations for dealing with the precarious situation leading up to the 2014 transition to Afghan control and beyond. Vanda Felbab-Brown argues that allied efforts in Afghanistan have put far too little emphasis on good governance, concentrating too much on short-term military goals to the detriment ofAfghan War, 2001-2021AfghanistanPolitics and government2001-Electronic books.Afghan War, 2001-2021.320.9581958.104/7958.1047Felbab-Brown Vanda859596MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462152303321Aspiration and ambivalence1918395UNINA04333nam 22007335 450 991062438500332120260605203410.09789811944215(electronic bk.)10.1007/978-981-19-4421-5(MiAaPQ)EBC7126616(Au-PeEL)EBL7126616(CKB)25208130700041(PPN)265862000(DE-He213)978-981-19-4421-5(OCoLC)1349274195(EXLCZ)992520813070004120221026d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierQuantum Science The Frontier of Physics and Chemistry /edited by Taku Onishi1st ed. 2022.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (498 pages)Physics and Astronomy SeriesPrint version: Onishi, Taku Quantum Science Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811944208 Includes bibliographical references.Part I: Introduction -- 1.

Dark Matter Chemistry.This book focuses on recent topics of quantum science in both physics and chemistry. Until now, quantum science has not been fully discussed from the interdisciplinary vantage points of both physics and chemistry. This book, however, is written not only for theoretical physicists and chemists, but also for experimentalists in the fields of physical chemistry and condensed matter physics, as collaboration and interplay between construction of quantum theory, and experimentation has become more important. Tips for starting new types of research projects will be found in an understanding of cutting-edge quantum science. In Part I, quantum electronic structures are explained in cases of strongly correlated copper oxides and heavy elements. In Part II, quantum molecular dynamics is investigated by computational approaches and molecular beam experiments. In Part III, after lithium problem in big bang nucleosynthesis scenario is considered using supersymmetric standard model, quantum theories in atomic and molecular systems are reviewed. Finally, in Part IV, the development of quantum computational method is introduced. .Physics and Astronomy SeriesQuantum theoryQuantum chemistryMolecular dynamicsReaction mechanisms (Chemistry)Molecular spectroscopyParticles (Nuclear physics)Quantum PhysicsQuantum ChemistryMolecular DynamicsReaction MechanismsMolecular SpectroscopyParticle PhysicsQuantum theory.Quantum chemistry.Molecular dynamics.Reaction mechanisms (Chemistry)Molecular spectroscopy.Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum Physics.Quantum Chemistry.Molecular Dynamics.Reaction Mechanisms.Molecular Spectroscopy.Particle Physics.016.61483Onishi TakuMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910624385003321Quantum science3068939UNINA
