Critically examines theories of a transcendent reality in terms of what is known about matter at its most fundamental level. This book examines a number of paranormal claims and shows how they can be explained without resorting to supernatural or psychic hypotheses.
Physical electronics, the subject of this work, may be defined as that part of the wider field of electronics which deals specifically with the physical processes involved in the generation, transport and interactions of electrons in vacuo, in gases and in solids.
For social science researchers who find themselves with data available from both temporal observations at regular intervals (time series) and from observations at single points of time (cross-sections), pooled time series can improve the statistical efficiency of the estimates. By "pooling" time series and cross-sectional data, the researcher can increase the sample size and do a more effective analysis. The text covers a variety of pooled time series models including the "constant coefficients" model in which the parameters are constant across space and time, the "least squares dummy variable" model which permits the intercept to vary by time and by cross-section, the "error components" model which takes explicit account of cross-sectional and time series disturbances, and the "strucural equation model", which goes beyond the error components model.
The laws of physics provide principles defining what is possible - and not possible - in the physical world. This book examines and critiques many widely held pseudoscientific beliefs in light of these laws.
A monograph on some of the ways geometry and analysis can be used in mathematical problems of physical interest. The roles of symmetry, bifurcation, and Hamiltonian systems in diverse applications are explored.
The soliton is a dramatic concept in nonlinear science. What makes this book unique in the treatment of this subject is its focus on the properties that make the soliton physically ubiquitous and the soliton equation mathematically miraculous. Here, on the classical level, is the entity field theorists have been postulating for years: a local ......
Examines ill-posed, initial-history boundary-value problems associated with systems of partial-integrodifferential equations arising in linear and nonlinear theories of mechanical viscoelasticity, rigid nonconducting material dielectrics, and heat conductors with memory. Variants of two differential inequalities, logarithmic convexity, and ......
Describing the various ways the degree of spatial autocorrelation in a set of variate values can be assessed and to which the pattern formed by the location of objects treatable as points can be examined.
