Overview: Explores the role of popular caricature in the controversy over Queen Caroline in 1820–21.Argues for the period as the ‘golden age‘ of caricature.Considers Caroline‘s role as a symbol of democracyThis book will be the first dedicated study of the remarkable role of Georgian caricature in the equally remarkable Queen Caroline controversy of 1820-21. When the newly crowned George IV, formerly the Prince of Wales, refused to recognise his estranged wife Caroline as the rightful queen of the Britain, her refusal to rescind her claim to the throne provoked a huge campaign of sympathy and

Overview: Conveys a genuine understanding of extraordinary phenomena such as teleportation and quantum entanglement.Illuminates these and other logical paradoxes of quantum physics without using mathematics.NicQuantum physics, which offers an explanation of the world on the smallest scale, has fundamental implications that pose a serious challenge to ordinary logic. Particularly counterintuitive is the notion of entanglement, which has been explored for the past 30 years and posits an ubiquitous randomness capable of manifesting itself simultaneously in more than one place..This amazing ‘non-l

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Nach ca. 20-jähriger Diskussion soll nunmehr auf Bundesebene ein Patientenrechtegesetz verabschiedet werden. Mit dem Gesetz wird das Ziel verfolgt, Transparenz über die Rechte der Patientinnen und Patienten herzustellen, die Durchsetzung dieser Rechte zu verbessern sowie Patientinnen und Patienten im Sinne einer verbesserten Gesundheitsversorgung zu schützen und im Falle eines Behandlungsfehlers stärker zu unterstützen. Das XXIII. Kölner Symposium der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Medizinrecht formuliert Fragen und Referate, ob ein Patientenrechtegesetz wegen m

Overview: The 1996 NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) followed the international tradi­ tion of the schools held in Cargese in 1976, 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1991. Impressive progress in quantum field theory had been made since the last school in 1991. Much of it is connected with the interplay of quantum theory and the structure of space time, including canonical gravity, black holes, string theory, application of noncommutative differential geometry, and quantum symmetries. In addition there had recently been important advances in quantum field theory which exploited the electromagnetic duality

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Protection of enterprise networks from malicious intrusions is critical to the economy and security of our nation. This article gives an overview of the techniques and challenges for security risk analysis of enterprise networks. A standard model for security analysis will enable us to answer questions such as “are we more secure than yesterday” or “how does the security of one network configuration compare with another one”. In this article, we will present a methodology for quantitative security risk analysis that is based on the model of attack gra

Overview: Published in cooperation with the renowned physics "think-tank" Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi.Specially reworked versions of the most exciting essays of over 270 submissions.A book that will .The essays in this book look at way in which the fundaments of physics might need to be changed in order to make progress towards a unified theory. They are based on the prize-winning essays submitted to the FQXi essay competition “Which of Our Basic Physical Assumptions Are Wrong?”, which drew over 270 entries..As Nobel Laureate physicist Philip W. Anderson realized, the key to underst

Overview: More than a generation of Gennan-speaking students around the world have worked their way to an understanding and appreciation of the power and beauty of modem theoretical physics - with mathematics, the most fundamental of sciences - using Waiter Greiner‘s textbooks as their guide. The idea of developing a coherent, complete presentation of an entire field of science in a series of closely related textbooks is not a new one. Many older physicists remember with real pleasure their sense of adventure and discovery as they worked their ways through the classic series by Sommerfeld, by

Overview: Examines the crossroads of quantum and critical approaches to International Relations.Argues that these approaches share a common project of uncovering complexity and uncertainty.Is the first introduc.This book examines the crossroads of quantum and critical approaches to International Relations and argues that these approaches share a common project of uncovering complexity and uncertainty. The “quantum turn” in International Relations theory has produced a number of interesting insights into the complex ways in which our assumptions about the physics of the world around us can limi

Overview: .Recently, analogies between laboratory physics (e.g. quantum optics and condensed matter) and gravitational/cosmological phenomena such as black holes have attracted an increasing interest. Especially in view of the tremendous progress of the experimental capabilities (e.g. regarding superfluids such as liquid Helium or gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates), exotic quantum effects such as Hawking radiation might come into reach for the first time...This book contains a series of selected lectures devoted to this new and rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of research. Various an

All aspects of the radiology workflow are addressed, from imaging appropriateness, examination scheduling, and patient preparation through to imaging protocol optimization (including radiation dose management), modality operations, reporti

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the University of Grenoble.Presents an exhaustive study of the correlation entanglement of quantum impurity problems.Exploits the properties of entanglement t.This book presents a complete study of natural orbitals in quantum impurity problems, revealing a certain simplicity in these interacting many-body problems. These systems consist of a few localized degrees of freedom that undergo strong interactions and hybridize with a larger system of free particles; they are central in the study of strongly correlated systems. ..In a first step, the

Overview: Numerical software is central to our computerized society. Itis used to control aeroplanes and bridges, operate manufacturinglines,control power plants and refineries, and analyse financialmarkets.Such software must be accurate, reliable, robust, efficient,easy touse, maintainable and adaptable. Quality assessment andcontrol ofnumerical software is still not well understood. Althoughmeasurementis a key element, it remains difficult to assess manycomponents ofsoftware quality and to evaluate the trade-offs betweenthem.Fortunately, as numerical software is built upon a longestablishedf

Overview: Quantum mechanics has raised in an acute form three problems which go to the heart of man‘s relationship with nature through experimental science: (r) the public objectivity of science, that is, its value as a universal science for all investigators; (2) the empirical objectivity of scientific objects, that is, man‘s ability to construct a precise or causal spatio-temporal model of microscopic systems; and finally (3), the formal objectivity of science, that is, its value as an expression of what nature is independently of its being an object of human knowledge. These are three aspec
