Some of the most time-honored questions in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience center on the uniqueness of the human mind. How do we think? What makes us so different from all the other animals on planet Earth? What was the process that created the human mind? Is this process unique or can it be repeated on other planets? The book "On the Origin of the Human Mind" attempts to provide an answer to these questions. It is organized into three chapters: Chapter I "Uniqueness of the Human Mind" introduces the reader to recent research into animal behavior, communication,

This is the first book to specifically focus on semiconductor nanocrystals and address their synthesis and assembly, optical properties and spectroscopy, and potential areas of nanocrystal-based devices including applications in biology and medicine. Nanoscience will transfer into new products and processes in the next two decades. One emerging area where this challenge will be successfully met is the field of semiconductor nanocrystals. Also known as colloidal quantum dots, their unique properties have attracted much attention in the last twenty years. These highly efficient fluorophores have

This up-to-date review also serves as an introduction to Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) - a new approach to heavy quark physics problems in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Heavy quark physics is one of the most active areas of high-energy physics, expecially at this time when B-factories at SLAC and KEK are starting experiments, and yet other facilities are being developed. HQET has already led to significant progress in our understanding of heavy quark physics during the last 10 years. The book also contains a detailed discussion of the methods of calculation used in HQET, along with numer

This book provides a single source of information on the problem of coherent-mode representations in optics, including new perspectives on its potential applications. In particular, the ’’light string’’ and the ’’light capillary’’ beams may be advantageously used in communications, measurements, microelectronics and microsurgery; the fast algorithm for bilinear transforms may be successfully applied to computer simulation and design of optical systems with partially coherent illumination. Contents - Preface - Coherent-Mode Representation of Opt

Platonov’s dystopian novel describes the lives of a group of Soviet workers who believe they are laying the foundations for a radiant future. As they work harder and dig deeper, their optimism turns to violence and it becomes clear that what is being dug is not a foundation pit but an immense grave.

Dream Searchers is a novel based on real facts about a secret research group called The Dream Hackers. This group was forced underground, when governmental agents became interested in their amazing discoveries in the fields of dreams, teleportation and controlling reality. While investigating the cartography of dreams, the Hackers found practical confirmation of the deep Knowledge, as popularized by the ethnologist and author Carlos Castaneda in his book The Teachings of Don Juan.

 Assembling an international team of experts, this book reports on the progress in the rapidly growing field of monolithic micro- and nano-resonators. The book opens with a chapter on photonic crystal-based resonators (nanocavities). It goes on to describe resonators in which the closed trajectories of light are supported by any variety of total internal reflection in curved and polygonal transparent dielectric structures. The book also covers distributed feedback microresonators for slow light, controllable dispersion, and enhanced nonlinearity. A portion of coverage is dedicated to the uniq
