This book explains the usage and application of Molecular Quantum Dynamics, the methodology where both the electrons and the nuclei in a molecule are treated with quantum mechanical calculations. This volume of Lecture Notes in Chemistry addresses graduate students and postdocs in the field of theoretical chemistry, as well as postgraduate students, researchers and teachers from neighboring fields, such as quantum physics, biochemistry, biophysics, or anyone else who is interested in this rising method in theoretical chemistry, and who wants to gain experience in the opportunities it can offer. It can also be useful for teachers interested in illustrative examples of time-dependent quantum m...
Yi-Tang Lin presents the historical process by which statistics became the language of global health for local and international health organizations. Drawing on archival material from three continents, this study investigates efforts by public health schools, philanthropic foundations, and international organizations to turn numbers into an international language for public health. Lin shows how these initiatives produced an international network of public health experts who, across various socioeconomic and political contexts, opted for different strategies when it came to setting global standards and translating local realities into numbers. Focusing on China and Taiwan between 1917 and 1960, Lin examines the reception, adaptation, and appropriation of international health statistics. She presents the dynamic interplay between numbers, experts, and policy-making in international health organizations and administrations in China and Taiwan.

En 1978 y a los 33 días de haber asumido, el Papa Juan Pablo I fallece misteriosamente. Muchos afirman que fue envenenado. La Iglesia prohíbe que se le practique una autopsia. Tres décadas después, Antonio de las Mercedes, primer Papa latinoamericano, es encontrado muerto en su lecho, con extrañas marcas en su cuerpo y un elemento cortante en su mano. La autopsia es determinante: Suicidio. Antes de que el caso fuese oficialmente cerrado como "muerte natural", el secretario del Vaticano reúne entonces a su mejor amigo, el teólogo e historiador francés Matthieu Phillipe, la licenciada italiana Agostina Sanguinetti y al Oficial Pitteloud, en un intento por descubrir la verdad. ¿Realmen...
The medieval dissenters known as ‘Waldenses’, named after their first founder, Valdes of Lyons, have long attracted careful scholarly study, especially from specialists writing in Italian, French and German. Waldenses were found across continental Europe, from Aragon to the Baltic and East-Central Europe. They were long-lived, resilient, and diverse. They lived in a special relationship with the prevailing Catholic culture, making use of the Church’s services but challenging its claims. Many Waldenses are known mostly, or only, because of the punitive measures taken by inquisitors and the Church hierarchy against them. This volume brings for the first time a wide-ranging, multi-authored interpretation of the medieval Waldenses to an English-language readership, across Europe and over the four centuries until the Reformation. Contributors: Marina Benedetti, Peter Biller, Luciana Borghi Cedrini, Euan Cameron, Jacques Chiffoleau, Albert de Lange, Andrea Giraudo, Franck Mercier, Grado Giovanni Merlo, Georg Modestin, Martine Ostorero, Damian J. Smith, Claire Taylor, and Kathrin Utz Tremp.
Una trama magnètica i intel·ligent amb la qual Fred Vargas demostra, un cop més, per què se la considera una de les millors autores de novel·la policíaca del panorama internacional. Poc després que el comissari Adamsberg hagi tornat a París, havent tancat un cas a la Bretanya, la policia de Rennes li demana ajuda per resoldre un crim que sembla que té relació amb una fosca llegenda local: el fantasma d’un comte anomenat «el Coix», la pota de fusta del qual continua ressonant pels passadissos del castell de Combourg. L’Adamsberg es desplaça amb el seu equip a la zona, on s’ha trobat el cadàver d’un veí després que el sinistre caminar del Coix se sentís de nit pels carrers de Louviec.
