Statistical mechanics and fractals

by R.L. Dobrushin, S. Kusuoka (1993)

About this book

This book is composed of two texts, by R.L. Dobrushin and S. Kusuoka, each representing the content of a course of lectures given by the authors. They are pitched at graduate student level and are thus very accessible introductions to their respective subjects for students and non specialists. CONTENTS: R.L. Dobrushin: On the Way to the Mathematical Foundations of Statistical Mechanics.- S. Kusuoka: Diffusion Processes on Nested Fractals.

Materializing new media

Anna Munster

This text offers an alternative aesthetic genealogy for digital culture. Eschewing the Cartesian aesthetic that aligns the digital with the disembodied, the formless, and the placeless, it seeks to 'materialize' digital culture by demonstrating that its aesthetics have reconfigured bodily experience and reconceived materiality.

Kimball R. Nill

"In the Glossary of Biotechnology and Nanobiotechnology Terms, Fourth Edition, Kimball Nill continues to improve upon the reference that for over a decade has helped thousands of professionals, including scientists in other fields, attorneys, government workers, lobbyists, venture capitalists, and university tech transfer staff to communicate successfully with those working on the cutting edge of modern science. Recognizing nanoscience's expanding contribution to biotech, Nill has taken the much appreciated step of adding relevant nano terminology to his glossary." "The Glossary of Biotechnology and Nanobiotechnology Terms, Fourth Edition is packed with over 400 pages of exceptionally well-organized and cross-referenced terminology, making it an essential reference for anyone working directly or indirectly with those pioneering the frontiers of modern biology."--Jacket.
