Showing results for "Structures" in Science & Engineering

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.

Today we are blessed with two extraordinarily successful theories of physics. The first is Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the large-scale behavior of matter in a curved spacetime. The second is quantum mechanics. This theory describes the properties and behavior of matter and radiation at their smallest scales.

To compete internationally, electrical installations and equipment must demonstrably comply with modern electrical safety structures required by international legislation governing the supply chain, as well as observing local regulations. The purpose of this book is both to describe the management of electrical safety, i.e. the chief responsible electrical specialist’s role including its various aspects and implications, and to provide guidance for creation of an adequate structure. It does not make reference to individual standards or to laws, which are typically national.

This is the podcast for the Journal of Biomolecular Structure & Dynamics. It will mostly, if not entirely, consist of AI-generated audio overviews of selected articles.

The Short Story of the Universe is a new introduction to the subject of the universe. Covering 130 key components that make it up - from dwarf galaxies and spiral arms to red giants and the planets of the solar system - and linking these to the universe's structure and the theories that help us understand it, this book simplifies this riveting yet mind-boggling subject, telling the story of how it came into being and how it will eventually be no more.
