Thermonuclear reactions in stars is a major topic in the field of nuclear astrophysics, and deals with the topics of how precisely stars generate their energy through nuclear reactions, and how these nuclear reactions create the elements the stars, planets and – ultimately – we humans consist of. The present book treats these topics in detail. It also presents the nuclear reaction and structure th…

В монографии на основе подхода классической электродинамики с применением флуктуационно-диссипационной теоремы рассмотрены дисперсионные силы между одномерными, двумерными и трехмерными структурами, описываемыми диэлектрической проницаемостью или проводимостью. Задача решается путем применения вакуумных функций Грина классической электродинамики и метода Фурье. Предложено также использовать решени…
The definitive resource for survey questionnaire testing and evaluation Over the past two decades, methods for the development, evaluation, and testing of survey questionnaires have undergone radical change. Research has now begun to identify the strengths and weaknesses of various testing and evaluation methods, as well as to estimate the methods’ reliability and validity. Expanding and adding to…
The field of high-throughput genetic experimentation is evolving rapidly, with the advent of new technologies and new venues for data mining. Bayesian methods play a role central to the future of data and knowledge integration in the field of Bioinformatics. This book is devoted exclusively to Bayesian methods of analysis for applications to high-throughput gene expression data, exploring the rele…
This up-to-date resource is based on lectures developed by experts in the relevant fields and carefully edited by the leading astrobiologists within the European community. Aimed at graduate students in physics, astronomy and biology and their lecturers, the text begins with a general introduction to astrobiology, followed by sections on basic prebiotic chemistry, extremophiles, and habitability i…
В книге представлены две статьи Ф. Н. Козырева о физической теории времени, разработанной в середине прошлого века его отцом, известным астрофизиком Н. А. Козыревым. В первой статье в популярной форме дается представление о внутренней логике, связующей этапы создания теории, намечаются перспективные линии ее развития. Во второй содержится богословская интерпретация космологических аспектов теории …
Эта книга представляет путеводитель в мир фундаментальных сил и их объединения в формуле EMG. В ней рассматриваются основные понятия и механизмы действия электромагнитной и гравитационной сил. Формула EMG выводится и детально объясняется, а также исследуются ее математические особенности и приложения. Книга заключается с выводами и возможностями будущих исследований.
Увлекательный обзор исследований, посвященных взаимодействию через виртуальные частицы в физике. Книга предлагает читателям ознакомиться с основными понятиями и терминами, описать значение и применение формулы, рассмотреть методы расчета и измерения коэффициента случайности и вероятностной функции, а также применение формулы в физике элементарных частиц и других областях физики. Книга также обсужд…
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. «The book is a valuable complet…
Praise for the first edition «This book is clearly written and presents a large number of examples illustrating the theory . . . there is no other book of comparable content available. Because of its detailed coverage of applications generally neglected in the literature, it is a desirable if not essential addition to undergraduate mathematics and computer science libraries.» –CHOICE As a cornerst…

Praise for the Third Edition «This is one of the best books available. Its excellent organizational structure allows quick reference to specific models and its clear presentation . . . solidifies the understanding of the concepts being presented.» —IIE Transactions on Operations Engineering Thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field, Fundamentals of Queueing Th…
Statistical methodology plays a key role in ensuring that DNA evidence is collected, interpreted, analyzed and presented correctly. With the recent advances in computer technology, this methodology is more complex than ever before. There are a growing number of books in the area but none are devoted to the computational analysis of evidence. This book presents the methodology of statistical DNA fo…
Bayesian methods combine information available from data with any prior information available from expert knowledge. The Bayes linear approach follows this path, offering a quantitative structure for expressing beliefs, and systematic methods for adjusting these beliefs, given observational data. The methodology differs from the full Bayesian methodology in that it establishes simpler approaches t…
