Statistical quantum chromodynamics, through analytical as well as numerical studies, provides the main theoretical tool, while in experiment, high-energy nuclear collisions are the key for extensive laboratory investigations. The field therefore straddles statistical, particle and nuclear physics, both conceptually and in the methods of investigation used.  This course-tested primer addresses above all the many young scientists starting their scientific research in this field, providing them with a general, self-contained introduction that emphasizes in particular the basic concepts and ideas, with the aim of explaining why we do what we do.  To achieve this goal, the present text concentrates mainly on equilibrium thermodynamics: first, the fundamental ideas of strong interaction thermodynamics are introduced and then the main concepts and methods used in the study of the physics of complex systems are summarized. Subsequently, simplified phenomenological pictures, leading to critical behavior in hadronic matter and to hadron-quark phase transitions are introduced, followed by elements of finite-temperature lattice QCD leading to the important results obtained in computer simulation studies of the lattice approach. Next, the relation of the resulting critical behavior to symmetry breaking/restoration in QCD is clarified before the text turns to the study of the QCD phase diagram. The presentation of bulk equilibrium thermodynamics is completed by studying the properties of the quark-gluon plasma as new state of strongly interacting matter.The final chapters of the book are devoted to more specific topics which arise when nuclear collisions are considered as a tool for the experimental study of QCD thermodynamics.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;841Nuclear physicsHeavy ionsElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryStatistical physicsDynamical systemsAstrophysicsNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadronshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Nuclear physics.Heavy ions.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Astrophysics.Nuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Complex Systems.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.539.7548Satz Helmutauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut44891BOOK996466703203316Extreme States of Matter in Strong Interaction Physics2519141UNISA03397nam 22004815 450 991030012530332120200704004621.03-030-01431-210.1007/978-3-030-01431-5(CKB)4100000007159009(DE-He213)978-3-030-01431-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6230074(PPN)232472939(EXLCZ)99410000000715900920181119d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSaddle-Point Problems and Their Iterative Solution /by Miroslav Rozložník1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Birkhäuser,2018.1 online resource (XIV, 136 p. 37 illus., 12 illus. in color.)

The focus is on discussing the particular properties of such linear systems, and a large selection of algebraic methods for solving them, with an emphasis on iterative methods and preconditioning. The theoretical results presented here are complemented by a case study on potential fluid flow problem in a real world-application. This book is mainly intended for students of applied mathematics and scientific computing, but also of interest for researchers and engineers working on various applications. It is assumed that the reader has completed a basic course on linear algebra and numerical mathematics.Nečas Center Series,2523-3343Numerical analysisNumerical Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14050Numerical analysis.Numerical Analysis.519.4518Rozložník Miroslavauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut767890MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300125303321Saddle-Point Problems and Their Iterative Solution1563748UNINA03308nam 22005535 450 991048498440332120251113202558.03-030-60500-010.1007/978-3-030-60500-1(CKB)4100000011715649(DE-He213)978-3-030-60500-1(MiAaPQ)EBC6454867(PPN)253255929(MiAaPQ)EBC29095807(EXLCZ)99410000001171564920210111d2021 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierProtection Challenges in Meeting Increasing Electric Power Demand /by Om Hari Gupta, Manoj Tripathy, Vijay K.

The primary focus of this book is transmission line protection with FACTS devices connected to the line and islanding detection in an active distribution system i.e., microgrids. First, a literature review on the protection of transmission lines in the presence of switching devices is presented. The following chapters then present commonly proposed modifications required in the power system to meet increasing power demands, commonly used existing protection schemes and their limitations in the presence of switching devices, and solutions to these limitations in protection schemes. Results from fault simulations using PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB are also included.
