Golden Years
We were once again going on a cross-country tour. In November 2013, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ali Eskandarian was murdered alongside two members of the Iranian band, The Yellow Dogs. In the months leading up to this terrible event, Ali had been in correspondence with a friend and Dutch publisher, Oscar van Gelderen, about his semi-autobiographical novel. Golden Years is that book. Set in the first decade of the 21st century in New York, Teheran and Dallas, Golden Years is a novel perfumed with excess and spirited decadence. It tells the story of a group of Iranian musicians in their twenties and our narrator, in his 30s, who is in thrall to the great American beats and has visions of Ancient Assyrian Futurism. Hungry and poor, high and hopping from bed to bed, and lover to lover, the characters in Golden Years are romantic exiles living with rock n roll as their religion.
Golden Years
Nel novembre 2013, a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, il cantautore di origine iraniana Ali Eskandarian, poco più che trentenne, viene ucciso insieme a due membri del gruppo rock The Yellow Dogs. Il killer, un musicista legato alla band da un rapporto di amicizia e rivalità, dopo aver fatto irruzione nell'appartamento con un fucile d'assalto, si suicida. Nei mesi precedenti a questo tragico evento, Ali stava discutendo con il suo amico olandese Oscar van Gelderen, editore, del romanzo semiautobiografico su cui aveva appena finito di lavorare. Golden Years è questo romanzo. Ambientato ai giorni nostri tra New York, Teheran e Dallas, Golden Years racconta la storia di un gruppo di giovani musicisti ...

Logic and Algebraic Structures in Quantum Computing
Experts in the field explore the connections across physics, quantum logic, and quantum computing.
Sexo, exilio y rock and roll
El 11 de noviembre de 2013, el músico iraní Ali Eskandarian fue asesinado en Brooklyn por un colega enajenado. Meses antes había escrito a un posible editor para anunciarle que estaba trabajando en un libro sobre alguien que podría ser él mismo, "un desterrado, un hijo de la guerra y un roquero —explicaba—; un artista condenado a vivir en un mundo que le parece exasperante y cautivador". La obra, aseguraba, "tendrá ráfagas de insurgencia política, pero sobre todo mostrará mucho sexo, muchas drogas y un vendaval de rock and roll". La misiva terminaba así: "Creo que será la gran novela iraní-americana y así la calificaré hasta que alguien demuestre lo contrario". Aquel autor ...
When Form Becomes Substance
This interdisciplinary volume collects contributions from experts in their respective fields with as common theme diagrams. Diagrams play a fundamental role in the mathematical visualization and philosophical analysis of forms in space. Some of the most interesting and profound recent developments in contemporary sciences, whether in topology, geometry, dynamic systems theory, quantum field theory or string theory, have been made possible by the introduction of new types of diagrams, which, in addition to their essential role in the discovery of new classes of spaces and phenomena, have contributed to enriching and clarifying the meaning of the operations, structures and properties that are ...
Reusable Launch Vehicle
The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.
Scientific Legacy Of Professor Zbigniew Oziewicz: Selected Papers From The International Conference "Applied Category Theory Graph-operad-logic"
Dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Zbigniew Oziewicz from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, the book consists of papers on a wide variety of topics related to the work of Professor Oziewicz, which were presented at the special conference on Graph-Operads-Logic (GOL 2021), selected through peer review to promote his scientific legacy.Professor Oziewicz was a great enthusiast and supporter of category theory and its applications in physics, as well as in various areas of mathematics (topology, noncommutative geometry, etc.). In particular, he made significant contributions to the theory of Frobenius algebras, which now are becoming more important due to their connection wit...
Laws Of Form: A Fiftieth Anniversary
Laws of Form is a seminal work in foundations of logic, mathematics and philosophy published by G Spencer-Brown in 1969. The book provides a new point of view on form and the role of distinction, markedness and the absence of distinction (the unmarked state) in the construction of any universe. A conference was held August 8-10, 2019 at the Old Library, Liverpool University, 19 Abercromby Square, L697ZN, UK to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Laws of Form and to remember George Spencer-Brown, its author. The book is a collection of papers introducing and extending Laws of Form written primarily by people who attended the conference in 2019.
Biophysics
This comprehensive and extensively classroom-tested biophysics textbook is a complete introduction to the physical principles underlying biological processes and their applications to the life sciences and medicine. The foundations of natural processes are placed on a firm footing before showing how their consequences can be explored in a wide range of biosystems. The goal is to develop the readers’ intuition, understanding, and facility for creative analysis that are frequently required to grapple with problems involving complex living organisms. Topics cover all scales, encompassing the application of statics, fluid dynamics, acoustics, electromagnetism, light, radiation physics, thermod...
