Columbia University Press A Double Life
Book SynopsisAn unsung classic of nineteenth-century Russian literature, Karolina Pavlova’s A Double Life alternates prose and poetry to offer a wry picture of Russian aristocratic society and vivid dreams of escaping its strictures.Trade ReviewRich with wit, Pavlova’s only novel is a masterful sendup of high society. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *Karolina Pavlova’s 1848 novel made a splash when it first appeared, and for good reason. It is interesting in form, mixing prose and poetry, and full of sharply ironic insights about Russian society of the day, especially the lives of young women. This beautiful new edition of Barbara Heldt's translation offers the chance to appreciate a work of nineteenth-century Russian literature that deserves attention, the writing of a remarkable poet and author. -- Sibelan Forrester, Swarthmore CollegePavlova’s A Double Life is a landmark of nineteenth-century Russian literature. With its multilayered account of a young society woman’s mysterious transformation into a poet, the novella explores a host of social, spiritual, and aesthetic questions. Indispensable, particularly in this revised edition of Barbara Heldt's translation. -- Thomas Hodge, Wellesley CollegePublished in the revolutionary year of 1848, A Double Life traces the awakening of a young noblewoman who by day submits to the prose of high society matchmaking, while at night she is a poet in her dreams of true love. Before Kate Chopin and Virginia Woolf, there was Karolina Pavlova. -- Hilde Hoogenboom, Arizona State UniversityOnce banished from the literary canon, this new release of her only novel includes both her prose and poetry that offer astute observations of Russian society. * Christian Science Monitor *A Double Life is an appealing novel, offering a colorful, penetrating portrait of Moscow's high society in those times, especially the lives of the wives and women in it. -- M.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd One Hundred Physics Visualizations Using Matlab
Book SynopsisThis book provides visualizations of many topics in general physics. The aim is to have an interactive MATLAB script wherein the user can vary parameters in a specific problem and then immediately see the outcome by way of dynamic “movies” of the response of the system in question. MATLAB tools are used throughout and the software scripts accompany the text in Symbolic Mathematics, Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Waves and Optics, Gases and Fluid Flow, Quantum Mechanics, Special and General Relativity, and Astrophysics and Cosmology. The emphasis is on building up an intuition by running many different parametric choices chosen actively by the user and watching the subsequent behavior of the system.Physics books using MATLAB do not have the range — or the intent — of this text. They are rather steeped in technical detail. Symbolic math is used extensively and is integral to the aim of using MATLAB tools to accomplish the technical aspects of problem solving.Table of ContentsSymbolic Mathematics; Classical Mechanics; Electromagnetism; Waves and Optics; Gases and Fluid Flow; Quantum Mechanics; Special and General Relativity, and Astrophysics and Cosmology.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cosmology With Matlab: With Companion Media Pack
Book SynopsisThis volume makes explicit use of the synergy between cosmology and high energy physics, for example, supersymmetry and dark matter, or nucleosynthesis and the baryon-to-photon ratio. In particular the exciting possible connection between the recently discovered Higgs scalar and the scalar field responsible for inflation is explored.The recent great advances in the accuracy of the basic cosmological parameters is exploited in that no free scale parameters such as h appear, rather the basic calculations are done numerically using all sources of energy density simultaneously. Scripts are provided that allow the reader to calculate exact results for the basic parameters. Throughout MATLAB tools such as symbolic math, numerical solutions, plots and 'movies' of the dynamical evolution of systems are used. The GUI package is also shown as an example of the real time manipulation of parameters which is available to the reader.All the MATLAB scripts are made available to the reader to explore examples of the uses of the suite of tools which are available. Indeed, readers should be able to engage in a command line 'dialogue' or go on to edit the scripts and write their own versions.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Physics Of Experiment Instrumentation Using
Book SynopsisSome twenty years ago the author published a book entitled The Physics of Particle Detectors. Much has evolved since that time, not in the basic physics, but in the complexity, number and versatility of the detectors commonly used in experiments, beam-lines and accelerators. Those changes have been heavily influenced by the concurrent dramatic changes in the microelectronics industry. In parallel, the use of computer-aided teaching has also greatly improved. The present volume explores the physics needed to understand the full suite of front-end devices in use today. In particular the physics explanation is made concurrently with the specific device being discussed, thus making the coupling more immediate. That study is made more interactive by using newer educational tools now available such as dynamic Matlab Apps.

Book SynopsisRecent advances in the understanding of star formation and evolution have been impressive and aspects of that knowledge are explored in this volume. The black hole stellar endpoints are studied and geodesic motion is explored. The emission of gravitational waves is featured due to their very recent experimental discovery.The second aspect of the text is space exploration which began 62 years ago with the Sputnik Earth satellite followed by the landing on the Moon just 50 years ago. Since then Mars has been explored remotely as well as flybys of the outer planets and probes which have escaped the solar system. The text explores many aspects of rocket travel. Finally possibilities for interstellar travel are discussed.All these topics are treated in a unified way using the Matlab App to combine text, figures, formulae and numeric input and output. In this way the reader may vary parameters and see the results in real time. That experience aids in building up an intuitive feel for the many specific problems given in this text.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd At The Leading Edge: The Atlas And Cms Lhc
Book SynopsisToo often descriptions of detectors focus on the 'what' and not the 'why'. This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to that environment. The goal of LHC physics is to explore the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. Because of the minuscule cross-sections which need to be explored, 0.1 fb, the LHC needs to provide 100 fb-1/yr, or an instantaneous luminosity of 1034 / (cm2 sec). With a bunch crossing interval of 25 nsec, well matched to detector speeds, there will be 25 events occupying each bunch crossing.Thus the physics requires fast, finely segmented, low noise and radiation resistant detectors which provide redundant measurements of the rarely produced electrons and muons. To achieve those goals, new ground was broken in constructing the A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS) and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detectors in the vertex detectors, tracking systems, calorimetry, strong magnets, muon systems, front end electronics, trigger systems, and in the data acquisition methods used.Table of ContentsHow Physics Needs Define the LHC Environment (D Green); The CMS Pixel Detector (W Erdmann); The Hybrid Tracking System of ATLAS (L Rossi); The All-Silicon Strip CMS Tracker: Microtechnology at the Macroscale (M Mannelli); The ATLAS Electromagnetic Calorimeters: Features and Performance (L Mandelli); The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter: Crystals and APD Productions (P Bloch); ATLAS Electronics: An Overview (P Farthouat); Innovations in the CMS Tracker Electronics (G Hall); TILECAL: The Hadronic Section of the Central ATLAS Calorimeter (K Anderson et al.); Innovations for the CMS HCAL (J Freeman); ATLAS Superconducting Toroids - The Largest Ever Built (H H J ten Kate); Constructing a 4-Tesla Large Thin Solenoid at the Limit of What Can Be Safely Operated (A Herve); The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (G Mickenberg); The CMS Muon Detector: From the First Thoughts to the Final Design (F Gasparini); The Why and How of the ATLAS Data Acquisition System (L Mapelli & G Mornacchi); Removing the Haystack: The CMS Trigger and Data Acquisition Systems (V O'Dell ).
