The Dual Nature of Life: Interplay of the Individual and the Genome

The Dual Nature of Life: Interplay of the Individual and the Genome by Gennadiy Zhegunov
English | PDF,EPUB | 2012 | 292 Pages | ISBN : 3642303935 | 5.6 MB

Life is a diverse and ubiquitous phenomenon on Earth, characterized by fundamental features distinguishing living bodies from nonliving material. Yet it is also so complex that it has long defied precise definition.

Chips 2020: A Guide to the Future of Nanoelectronics

Chips 2020: A Guide to the Future of Nanoelectronics by Bernd Hoefflinger
English | PDF,EPUB | 2012 | 497 Pages | ISBN : 3642223990 | 31.6 MB

The chips in present-day cell phones already contain billions of sub-100-nanometer transistors. By 2020, however, we will see systems-on-chips with trillions of 10-nanometer transistors. But this will be the end of the miniaturization, because yet smaller transistors, containing just a few control atoms, are subject to statistical fluctuations and thus no longer useful. We also need to worry about a potential energy crisis, because in less than five years from now, with current chip technology, the internet alone would consume the total global electrical power!

Probability in Physics

Probability in Physics by Yemima Ben-Menahem
English | PDF(Repost),EPUB | 2012 | 325 Pages | ISBN : 3642213286 | 4.6 MB

What is the role and meaning of probability in physical theory, in particular in two of the most successful theories of our age, quantum physics and statistical mechanics? Laws once conceived as universal and deterministic, such as Newton‘s laws of motion, or the second law of thermodynamics, are replaced in these theories by inherently probabilistic laws.

From the Web to the Grid and Beyond: Computing Paradigms Driven by High-Energy Physics

From the Web to the Grid and Beyond: Computing Paradigms Driven by High-Energy Physics by René Brun
English | EPUB | 2012 | 368 Pages | ISBN : 364223156X | 2 MB

Born after World War II, large-scale experimental high-energy physics (HEP) has found itself limited ever since by available accelerator, detector and computing technologies. Accordingly, HEP has made significant contributions to the development of these fields, more often than not driving their innovations.

The Beginning and the End: The Meaning of Life in a Cosmological Perspective

The Beginning and the End: The Meaning of Life in a Cosmological Perspective by Clément Vidal
English | EPUB | 2014 | 400 Pages | ISBN : 3319050613 | 3.4 MB

In this fascinating journey to the edge of science, Vidal takes on big philosophical questions: Does our universe have a beginning and an end, or is it cyclic? Are we alone in the universe? What is the role of intelligent life, if any, in cosmic evolution? Grounded in science and committed to philosophical rigor, this book presents an evolutionary worldview where the rise of intelligent life is not an accident, but may well be the key to unlocking the universe's deepest mysteries.

CHIPS 2020 VOL. 2: New Vistas in Nanoelectronics By Bernd Höfflinger
English | PDF | 2016 | 319 Pages | ISBN : 3319220926 | 17.1 MB

The release of this second volume of CHIPS 2020 coincides with the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law, a critical year marked by the end of the nanometer roadmap and by a significantly reduced annual rise in chip performance. At the same time, we are witnessing a data explosion in the Internet, which is consuming 40% more electrical power every year, leading to fears of a major blackout of the Internet by 2020.

Wandering Towards a Goal: How Can Mindless Mathematical Laws Give Rise to Aims and Intention? (Repost)

Wandering Towards a Goal: How Can Mindless Mathematical Laws Give Rise to Aims and Intention? by Anthony Aguirre
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 251 Pages | ISBN : 3319757253 | 10.18 MB

This collection of prize-winning essays addresses the controversial question of how meaning and goals can emerge in a physical world governed by mathematical laws. What are the prerequisites for a system to have goals? What makes a physical process into a signal? Does eliminating the homunculus solve the problem? The three first-prize winners, Larissa Albantakis, Carlo Rovelli and Jochen Szangolies tackle exactly these challenges, while many other aspects (agency, the role of the observer, causality versus teleology, ghosts in the machine etc.) feature in the other award winning contributions. All contributions are accessible to non-specialists
