The Achilles Project
The Achilles Project By: Dr. Thomas Wolfram Michael Wolfe, a quadriplegic survivor of a hit and run accident, is recruited by Gunther Krieger to build a mind-computer interface using nanotechnology that will communicate with the fundamental neurons that control motion in the human body. A team consisting of experts in growth of nanotubes is assembled, including Doctor Ilsa Franken, a young Danish woman proficient in both nanotechnology and biomedical techniques. Michael and Ilsa have a romantic relationship while developing a new procedure for regrowing severed spinal nerves. Michael proves the efficacy of the new procedure by undergoing the first operation using nanotubes as scaffolding to regrow his severed nerves. While recovering from the operation in the BSL-4 security lab, Michael and Ilsa discover an ongoing scheme by Krieger to sell body parts of victims of the secret Army program known as the “Achilles Project.” Krieger attempts to silence Michael and Ilsa after they testify at the pre-trial hearing, at first by sending his henchmen to rough them up, and then by kidnaping Ilsa. Michael walks into Krieger’s trap, but he must try to save Ilsa.
Applications of Group Theory to Atoms, Molecules, and Solids
The majority of all knowledge concerning atoms, molecules, and solids has been derived from applications of group theory. Taking a unique, applications-oriented approach, this book gives readers the tools needed to analyze any atomic, molecular, or crystalline solid system. Using a clearly defined, eight-step program, this book helps readers to understand the power of group theory, what information can be obtained from it, and how to obtain it. The book takes in modern topics, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and isotopic frequencies of molecules, as well as more traditional subjects: the vibrational and electronic states of molecules and solids, crystal field and ligand field theory, transition metal complexes, space groups, time reversal symmetry, and magnetic groups. With over 100 end-of-chapter exercises, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials science.
The Structure of the Nucleon
As the only stable baryon, the nucleon is of crucial importance in particle physics. Since the nucleon is a building block for all atomic nuclei, there is a need to analyse the its structure in order to fully understand the essential properties of all atomic nuclei. After more than forty years of research on the nucleon, both the experimental and theoretical situations have matured to a point where a synthesis of the results becomes indispensable. Here, A.W. Thomas and W. Weise present a unique report on the extensive empirical studies, theoretical foundations and the different models of the nucleon. The appendices provide an extensive summary of formulae needed in practical calculations. From the contents: electromagnetic structure of the nucleon, weak probes of nucleon structure, deep inelastic lepton scattering on the nucleon; elements of QCD, aspects of non-perturbative QCD, Chiral Symmetry and nucleon structure, models of the nucleon
Punch-Drunk on Co2...Dizzy from Spin
Prior to the 2009 Copenhagen climate conference, it became evident that no discernible global warming had occurred since 1998, despite a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, the catastrophic man-made global warming hypothesis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was conveniently rebranded as climate change. This book allows readers, with little or no understanding of the issues behind the climate change debate, to obtain an appreciation as to why so much doubt and suspicion has been cast over the IPCC and its gold standard climate science (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report) often referred to as the settled science backed by a consensus of scientists....

Electronic and Optical Properties of d-Band Perovskites
The perovskite family of oxides includes a vast array of insulators, metals, and semiconductors. Current intense scientific interest stems from the large number of diverse phenomena exhibited by these materials including pseudo two-dimensional electronic energy bands, high temperature superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, piezoelectricity, magnetism, photochromic, and catalytic activity. This book is the first text devoted to a comprehensive theory of the solid-state properties of these fascinating materials. The text includes complete descriptions of the important energy bands, photoemission, surface states, and the chapter on high-temperature superconductors explores the electronic states in typical copper-oxide materials. Theoretical results are compared to experiment and discussed throughout the book. With problem sets included, this is a unified, logical treatment of fundamental perovskite solid-state chemistry which will appeal to graduate students and researchers alike.
