This English version of the path-breaking French book on this subject gives the definitive treatment of the revolutionary approach to measure theory, geometry, and mathematical physics developed by Alain Connes. Profusely illustrated and invitingly written, this book is ideal for anyone who wants to know what noncommutative geometry is, what it can do, or how it can be used in various areas of mathematics, quantization, and elementary particles and fields. Key Features* First full treatment of the subject and its applications* Written by the pioneer of thi

What is the true nature of space and time? These concepts are at the heart of science, but they remain deeply wrapped in mystery. Both house their structure at the smallest pre-subatomic and the largest cosmological levels continues to defy modern physics and may require revolutionary new ideas for which science is still grasping. This unique volume brings together world leaders in cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, mathematics, philosophy and theology, to provide fresh insights into the deep structure of space and time.

Understanding dissipative dynamics of open quantum systems remains a challenge in mathematical physics. This problem is relevant in various areas of fundamental and applied physics. From a mathematical point of view, it involves a large body of knowledge. Significant progress in the understanding of such systems has been made during the last decade. These books present in a self-contained way the mathematical theories involved in the modeling of such phenomena. They describe physically relevant models, develop their mathematical analysis and derive their physical implications. In Volume I th

Séduits par l’idée de commenter l’expérience clinique qu’ils ont acquise au cours de leur carrière, les auteurs ont délibérément abordé leur spécialité par la description des symptômes qui donnent leurs titres aux chapitres. Ils ont néanmoins décrit les diagnostics différentiels, les maladies en cause et les traitements. Après un chapitre consacré à l’examen du patient, incluant les détours de l’interrogatoire, les douleurs lombaires ou scrotales sont analysées. Les auteurs ont ensuite abordé les troubles mictionnels et leurs causes. Les particularités des hémat

Complications in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, written by leading international experts in their fields, closely examines possible complications following surgery of the cerebrovascular arteries, the thorax and upper limbs, and other commonly operated sites. Various complications (both common and uncommon) are identified and described, along with discussions of how to treat, and better yet, prevent them. Results of clinical trials are presented, as well as the personal experience of dozens of contributing authors. Clinical and surgical specialists interested in vascular and endovascular s
