Universo / Universe

La ciencia es la nave y el astrolabio que nos permiten realizar este viaje al origen y descubrir la sutil sinfonía de azares que culmina en el contacto de una neurona con otra. La historia de todas las cosas y de todos nosotros es la historia más grande jamás contada. Este libro es la historia general de todas las cosas: las estrellas, la gravedad, los inmensos átomos, la luz, el tiempo, el omnipresente Higgs y la minuciosa variedad de la vida. Su cronista es el científico mexicano Gerardo Herrera Corral, colaborador del Centro Europeo de Investigaciones Nucleares, donde se investiga el origen de la materia. La historia aquí contada es, por supuesto, nuestra propia historia, una que em...

Science Fusion in Contemporary Mexican Literature

Science Fusion draws on new materialist theory to analyze the relationship between science and literature in contemporary works of fiction, poetry, and theater from Mexico. In this deft new study, Brian Chandler examines how a range of contemporary Mexican writers “fuse” science and literature in their work to rethink what it means to be human in an age of climate change, mass extinctions, interpersonal violence, femicide, and social injustice. The authors under consideration here—including Alberto Blanco, Jorge Volpi, Ignacio Padilla, Sabina Berman, Maricela Guerrero, and Elisa Díaz Castelo—challenge traditional divisions that separate human from nonhuman, subject from object, culture from nature. Using science and literature to engage topics in biopolitics, historiography, metaphysics, ethics, and ecological crisis in the age of the Anthropocene, works of science fusion offer fresh perspectives to address present-day sociocultural and environmental issues.

Instrumentation in Elementary Particle Physics

This book is intended for amateurs, students and teachers. The author presents partial results which could be obtained with exclusively elementary methods. The proofs are given in detail, with minimal prerequisites. An original feature are the ten interludes, devoted to important topics of elementary number theory, thus making the reading of this book self-contained. Their interest goes beyond Fermat's theorem. The Epilogue is a serious attempt to render accessible the strategy of the recent proof of Fermat's last theorem, a great mathematical feat.

Medical Physics

This volume shows the most recent results of the application of novel physical techniques and methodologies in medicine. The main purpose of the conference was to explore and discuss the state of the art in imaging, monitoring of complex processes, the development of new technology and the application of non-traditional approaches in the study of the human body.

Medical Physics

This symposium was dedicated to the discussion of advances in the applications of physics in both clinical practice and in research. Recognized specialists were invited to present topics related to their current professional and research interest. In addition, a poster session and short seminars were held, mainly for works in progress. The rapid growth of medical physics in Mexico brought the idea of organizing a symposium whose purpose was to encourage interest in both research and hospital practice as well as to provide a forum for interchange of information and ideas. All papers were peer reviewed. Topics include: detectors for imaging applications, dosimetry, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography nuclear medicine, phase contrast radiography, and radiotherapy.

Particles And Fields - Proceedings Of The Vi Mexican School

This textbook provides a calculus-based introduction to economics. Students blessed with a working knowledge of the calculus will find that this text facilitates their study of the basic analytical framework of economics. The textbook examines a wide range of micro and macro topics, including prices and markets, equity versus efficiency, Rawls versus Bentham, accounting and the theory of the firm, optimal lot size and just in time, monopoly and competition, exchange rates and the balance of payments, inflation and unemployment, fiscal and monetary policy, IS-LM analysis, aggregate demand and supply, speculation and rational expectations, growth and development, exhaustible resources and over-fishing. While the content is similar to that of conventional introductory economics textbook, the assumption that the reader knows and enjoys the calculus distinguishes this book from the traditional text.

Photon 2000

The conference covers recent experimental and theoretical advances in the study of the nature of photons at high energy. These photons are studied at large particle accelerators, such as the LEP accelerator based in Geneva, Switzerland, and the HERA accelerator in Hamburg, Germany. The prospects for this work at planned future accelerators are also described.

Theoretical Physics

MRST 2002 is the 24th in an ongoing series of annual meetings that brings together an international group of researchers clustered around the Universities of Montreal/McGill, Rochester, Syracuse, and Toronto working on various aspects of theoretical high energy physics. This year features discussions on a wider than usual scope of interrelated topics, with invited talks ranging from the latest developments in cosmic microwave background radiation research and the solar neutrino puzzle to the Bekenstein bound in quantum gravity and the AdS/CFT conjecture in string theory. The main purpose is to encourage increased interaction between traditionally separate but clearly overlapping research sub-disciplines. This was the first conference to be hosted by the new Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and was held in memory of George Leibbrandt, who played a vital role in all aspects of the founding of the Institute and served on its Board of Directors.

Theoretical High Energy Physics

MRST 2001, the 23rd of a series of meetings in theoretical high energy physics that normally rotate between McGill University, The University of Toronto, The University of Rochester, and Syracuse University, honors the memory of Roger Migneron, a frequent participant in past MRST meetings and a strong contributor to elementary particle physics in Canada. Two special sessions present exciting advances in theoretical high energy physics by several outstanding physicists. Topics include: gravity/geometry; B-physics; quarks, gluons, and mesons; field theory; as well as branes, strings, and things.
