While often benign, fainting can sometimes be the sign of serious illness. Recurrent fainting can significantly disrupt a person's life, and make them prone to injury and, on occasion, death. The Fainting Phenomenon, Second Edition is a valuable information resource for anyone whose life is affected by fainting.

American Food Aid for Independent India -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThe task of ending famine in India was taken up by many at the beginning of the twentieth century. Only decades earlier, famine in India had been believed to be a necessary evil. Now it was the reason for the increasing activities of doctors, nutritionists, social reformers, agricultural experts, missionaries, anti-colonial activists and colonial administrators, all involved in temporary relief and finding permanent solutions to famine.The involvement of this panoply of historical actors places Indian famines in the centre of the converging histories of humanitarianism, development, nutrition and (anti-) colonialism. Tracing their activities renders such convergences visible and pushes the boundaries of the history of famines in South Asia beyond its common spatial and temporal frames. Ending Famine in India examines the tripartite relationship of India, Britain and the United States, linking the late-Victorian holocausts with the struggle for food security in the 1950s.Global Connections: Routes and Roots SeriesFood supplyFood industry and tradeFood supply.Food industry and trade.338.1954Simonow Joanna1429636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910733299603321Ending Famine in India3568698UNINA04639nam 22008055 450 991043798330332120200705125128.03-642-31558-510.1007/978-3-642-31558-9(CKB)3390000000030208(EBL)1030568(OCoLC)809369307(SSID)ssj0000715007(PQKBManifestationID)11394640(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000715007(PQKBWorkID)10700737(PQKB)11614001(DE-He213)978-3-642-31558-9(MiAaPQ)EBC1030568(MiAaPQ)EBC6312417(PPN)168319713(EXLCZ)99339000000003020820120828d2013 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWKB Approximation in Atomic Physics /by Boris Mikhailovich Karnakov, Vladimir Pavlovich Krainov1st ed. 2013.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2013.1 online resource (179 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-642-31557-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.WKB-Approximation in Quantum Mechanics -- One-Dimensional Motion -- WKB-Approximation for a Particle in Central Field -- Langer Transformation -- 1/N-Expansion in Quantum Mechanics -- 1/N Expansion for Energy Levels of Binding States -- Wave Functions of 1/n-Expansion -- Rydberg States of Atomic Systems -- Unperturbed Rydberg States of Atoms -- Interaction between a Rydberg Electron and an Electromagnetic Radiation -- Penetrability of Potential Barriers and Quasistationary States -- Quasi-Stationary States of One-Dimensional Systems -- Quasi-Stationary States and Above-Barrier Reflection -- Transitions and Ionization in Quantum Systems -- Adiabatic Transitions -- Ionization of Quantum Systems.This book has evolved from lectures devoted to applications of the Wentzel - Kramers – Brillouin- (WKB or quasi-classical) approximation and of the method of 1/N −expansion for solving various problems in atomic  and nuclear physics. The intent of this book is to help students and investigators in this field to extend their knowledge of these important calculation methods in quantum mechanics. Much material is contained herein that is not to be found elsewhere. WKB approximation, while constituting a fundamental area in atomic physics, has not been the focus of many books. A novel method has been adopted for the presentation of the subject matter, the material is presented as a succession of problems, followed by a detailed way of solving them. The methods introduced are then used to calculate Rydberg states in atomic systems and to evaluate potential barriers and quasistationary states. Finally, adiabatic transition and ionization of quantum systems are covered.PhysicsAtomsMathematical physicsQuantum theoryMathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24009Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Physics.Quantum theory.Mathematical physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.Quantum Physics.Physics.Atoms.Mathematical physics.Quantum theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.Quantum Physics.530.15Karnakov Boris Mikhailovichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut732531Krainov Vladimir Pavlovichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437983303321WKB Approximation in Atomic Physics1916505UNINA
