This new edition of The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge theories. It provides a solid background for understanding supersymmetry, string theory, extra dimensions, dynamical symmetry breaking, and cosmology. In addition to updating all of the experimental and phenomenological results from t…
This is a guide to the practical study of the sources in wild nature of our living. It contains a series of study outlines for the entire year, and deals with both the plants and animals of the farm-the things that men have chosen to deal with as a means of livelihood and of personal satisfaction in all ages.
This open access book offers a self-contained introduction to the homotopy theory of simplicial and dendroidal sets and spaces. These are essential for the study of categories, operads, and algebraic structure up to coherent homotopy. The dendroidal theory combines the combinatorics of trees with the theory of Quillen model categories. Dendroidal sets are a natural generalization of simplic…
This book presents a consistent development of the Kohn-Nirenberg type global quantization theory in the setting of graded nilpotent Lie groups in terms of their representations. It contains a detailed exposition of related background topics on homogeneous Lie groups, nilpotent Lie groups, and the analysis of Rockland operators on graded Lie groups together with their associated Sobolev spaces.…
This open access book presents the key aspects of statistics in Wasserstein spaces, i.e. statistics in the space of probability measures when endowed with the geometry of optimal transportation. Further to reviewing state-of-the-art aspects, it also provides an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of this current topic, as well as an overview that will serve as an invitation and catalyst…
This revised textbook motivates and illustrates the techniques of applied probability by applications in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS). The author presents information processing and communication systems that use algorithms based on probabilistic models and techniques, including web searches, digital links, speech recognition, GPS, route planning, recommendation systems, c…
This book offers a truly interdisciplinary exploration of our patterns of engagement with politics, news, and information in current high-choice information environments. Putting forth the notion that high-choice information environments may contribute to increasing misperceptions and knowledge resistance rather than greater public knowledge, the book offers insights into the processes that inf…
Sebagai negara kepulauan, tak ayal jika laut dan pesisir menjadi kekuatan utama Indonesia, yang mengandung sumber daya berlimpah. Namun, orang sering melupakan potensi perairan darat kita, yang sejatinya tak kalah penting dibandingkan lautan. Di Pulau Jawa, danau adalah salah satu sumber primer mata pencaharian masyarakat, selain juga sebagai penyedia sumber daya alam dan penghasil energi. Keru…
Hutan merupakan salah satu unsur penting penopang keberlangsungan Bumi dan kehidupan manusia. Selain sebagai penyedia oksigen dan pengatur cadangan air, hutan juga berperan penting dalam menyediakan habitat bagi berbagai macam jenis flora dan fauna, terutama yang sudah langka dan terancam punah. Hutan di Nusakambangan merupakan satu-satunya hutan pamah yang tersisa di daerah Jawa Tengah dan men…
