This book offers a theoretical examination of the process of imagining science in education, describing the opposing concepts of epicization and novelization. The authors argue that novelization can help bring the working world of science alive for students.
Since the early 20th century, medical imaging has been dominated by monochrome imaging modalities such as x-ray, computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging.
The aim of this book is to analyse historical problems related to the use of mathematics in physics as well as to the use of physics in mathematics and to investigate Mathematical Physics as precisely the new discipline which is concerned with this dialectical link itself.
This book presents general relativity as a cornerstone of modern theoretical physics. It covers both classical general relativity and supergravity and offers plenty of historical background on the physicists relevant to the theories presented.
It signals new and impending developments in philosophy, which has seen Bayesian models deployed in formal epistemology and philosophy of science, but has yet to explore the full potential of Bayesian models as a framework in argumentation.
Leaving aside human and social capital for a future volume, the book should be viewed as a crucial first step in developing indicators for total wealth in the countries covered by the case studies, which include Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique and South Africa.
Presents a considerable number of interrelated contributions dealing with the scientific ability to shape and control matter and electromagnetic fields on a sub-wavelength scale. This book is suitable for people working in the disciplines of physics, biology and chemistry.
This book addresses the ways in which the metaphor of the criminal as monster is used to scapegoat certain categories of crimes and criminals for anxieties about our own potential for deviant, and, indeed, dangerous interests.
