Computers Of Star Trek

By: Lois H. Gresh,Robert A Weinberg

The depiction of computers on the various "Star Trek" series has ranged from lame to breathtakingly imaginative. This book covers the gamut, and makes lucid and entertaining comparison of these fictional computers with those that now exist or are likely to inhabit our future. Throughout its history, "Star Trek" has been an accurate reflection of contemporary ideas about computers and their role in our lives. Affectionately but without illusions, The Computers of Star Trek shows how those ideas compare with what we now know we can and will do with computers.

Diatomic Molecules

Results of ab Initio Calculations

By: Robert Mulliken

Diatomic Molecules: Results of Ab Initio Calculations provides the results obtained from quantum-mechanical calculations on the electronic structure of diatomic molecules. This six-chapter text also discusses the related concepts of ab initio calculation methods. This book considers first the primary methods used in the computation of molecular wave functions and of related properties. This topic is followed by discussions on the linear combination of atomic orbital and linear combination of mixed atomic orbital approximations and basis sets; electronic population analysis; spectroscopic transition probabilities; and the nature of chemical bonding. The remaining chapters examine the features of various theories that become prominent when two or more electrons are present, or are important in hydrides or homopolar and heteropolar molecules. This text will be of great value to organic and inorganic chemists and physicists.

Defining Religion

Essays in Philosophy of Religion

By: Robert Cummings Neville

In this collection of essays, written over the past decade, Robert Cummings Neville addresses contemporary debates about the concept of religion and the importance of the comparative method in theology, while advancing and defending his own original definition of religion. Neville's hypothesis is that religion is a cognitive, existential, and practical engagement of ultimate realities—five ultimate conditions of existence that need to be engaged by human beings. The essays, which range from formal articles to invited lectures, develop this hypothesis and explore its ramifications in religious experience, philosophical theology, religious studies, and the works of important thinkers in philosophy of religion. Defining Religion is an excellent introduction to Neville's work, especially to the systematic philosophical theology presented in his magisterial three-volume set Philosophical Theology.

Polyatomic Molecules

Results of ab Initio Calculations

By: Robert S. Mulliken

Polyatomic Molecules: Results of Ab Initio Calculations describes the symmetry of polyatomic molecules in ground states. This book contains 12 chapters that also cover the excited and ionized states of these molecules. The opening chapter describes the nature of the various ab initio computational methods. The subsequent four chapters deal with the three-atom systems, differing with respect to the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecules. These chapters also discuss the reaction surfaces of these systems. These topics are followed by discussions on the molecules whose ground states belong to relatively high, little or no symmetry groups. The concluding chapters explore the inorganic and relatively large organic molecules. These chapters also examine the ab initio calculations of molecular compounds and complexes, as well as hydrogen bonding and ion hydration. This text will be of great value to organic and inorganic chemists and physicists.

Modeling The Universe

A Journey Home

By: Robert A. Kirby

Imagination and science take flight in this new description of our three dimensional universe. The old physics of equations and non-answers is replaced with mechanisms that explain reality. The fundamental particle of matter is modeled and mechanisms for the properties of matter emerge. Our journey takes the reader from a description of matter to the birth and death of our universe. The story delivers a visual explanation for the mechanisms that make our universe work. Charge, inertial mass, gravity and the Double Slit experiment are explained as never before. This new theory of matter generates novel interpretations for cosmological observations. Direct English is used with macro world analogues and visual images to describe natural phenomena. Our universe becomes comprehensible when the dance of matter and energy is for a first time explained. Dark energy, dark matter and the measurement problem are explained. Courage is a requisite for looking deeply into our universe but there is grandeur in this view.

The Fifth Correction

The Fifth Correction

By: Robert Wingfield

There is a theory that death is not the end of existence, but is simply a shift into an alternative universe. This is true and keeps happening to Tom Two-Dan $mith (sic). Usually, one forgets everything of the past and starts a new life. Tom is not so lucky; he remembers. In his last transition, he became the head of a large corporation, famous for doing something, but nobody knows what, including the staff. He is still investigating. To make life more difficult, the Temporal Conduct Authority, who don't believe the above theory, and are miffed about the fact he has shamelessly flaunted the Laws of Time and Space, are looking to return him to his proper place in the universes (i.e. completely dead).

Owning the Unknown

A Science Fiction Writer Explores Atheism, Agnosticism, and the Idea of God

By: Robert Charles Wilson

Although humankind today can peer far deeper into the universe than ever before, we still find ourselves surrounded by the unknown and perhaps the unknowable. All great science fiction has used the human imagination to explore that realm beyond the known, just as theistic religions have done since long before the genre existed. As Hugo Award-winning author Robert Charles Wilson argues in Owning the Unknown, the genre's freewheeling speculation and systematic world-building make it it a unique lens for understanding, examining, and assessing the truth claims of religions in general and Christianity in particular. Drawing on his personal experience, his work as a science fiction writer, and his deep knowledge of the classics of the genre, he makes the case for what he calls intuitive atheism— an atheism drawn from everyday personal knowledge that doesn't depend on familiarity with the scholarly debate about theology and metaphysics, any more than a robust personal Christianity does. And as he reminds us, the secrets that remain hidden beyond the borders of the known universe— should we ever discover them— will probably not resemble anything currently found in our most prized philosophies, our most sacred texts, or our most imaginative science fiction.

Quantum Chemistry of Solids

LCAO Treatment of Crystals and Nanostructures

By: Robert A. Evarestov

Quantum Chemistry of Solids delivers a comprehensive account of the main features and possibilities of LCAO methods for the first principles calculations of electronic structure of periodic systems. The first part describes the basic theory underlying the LCAO methods applied to periodic systems and the use of Hartree-Fock(HF), Density Function theory(DFT) and hybrid Hamiltonians. The translation and site symmetry consideration is included to establish connection between k-space solid –state physics and real-space quantum chemistry. The inclusion of electron correlation effects for periodic systems is considered on the basis of localized crystalline orbitals. The possibilities of LCAO methods for chemical bonding analysis in periodic systems are discussed. The second part deals with the applications of LCAO methods for calculations of bulk crystal properties, including magnetic ordering and crystal structure optimization. In the second edition two new chapters are added in the application part II of the book. Chapter 12 deals with the recent LCAO calculations and illustrates the efficiency of the scalar-relativistic LCAO method for solids, containing heavy atoms. Chapter 13 deals with the symmetry properties and the recent applications of LCAO method to inorganic nanotubes. New material is added to chapter 9 devoted to LCAO calculations of perfect-crystal properties. The possibilities of LCAO method for calculation of the high-frequency dielectric constants of crystals and the description of phase transitions in solids are discussed. The efficiency of LCAO method in the quantum-mechanics-molecular dynamics approach to the interpretation of x-ray absorption and EXAFS spectra is illustrated. A new section is devoted to recent LCAO calculations of electronic, vibrational and magnetic properties of tungstates MeWO4 (Me: Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn,Cd).

Organizational Aspects of Health Informatics

Managing Technological Change

By: Nancy M. Lorenzi,Robert T. Riley

It has become obvious in recent years that successfully introducing major new systems into complex medical organizations requires an effective blend of good technical and organizational skills. The technically best system may be woefully inadequate if its implementation is resisted by people who have low psychological ownership in that system. On the other hand, people with high ownership can make a technically mediocre system function fairly well. ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH INFORMATICS focuses on both the successful strategies for implementation of information systems with medical organizations and also on effective management strategies for the altered organization once the new systems are in place.

The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology

By: Hagop M. Kantarjian,Robert A. Wolff,Charles A. Koller

The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology was designed to fill an important void in oncology reference material by serving as a hands-on resource for the practicing oncologist. It was written exclusively by MD Anderson faculty and fellows with the idea of presenting a bird's eye view of medical oncology as it is currently practiced at that institution. While definitely written from the perspective of the medical oncologist, this book clearly emphasizes MD Anderson's multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. Furthermore, while evidence-based rationales are given for patient care strategies, no apologies are offered for articulating the unique perspectives and biases as they apply to cancer biology and therapy as practiced at this top-rated cancer center. The rationales for ongoing clinical trials are clearly articulated as well as the importance of ongoing clinical investigation. The authors have filled the book with tables, graphics, relevant pathology figures, and other illustrative images, making it visually stimulating. Flowchart and diagrammatic algorithms are supplied to provide readers with a practical guide to the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies used at MD Anderson. Numerous chapters address important palliative and supportive measures, such as oncologic emergencies, infections, endocrine manifestations of non-endocrine tumors, palliation, and long-term followup.

Taking Caesar Out of Jesus

Taking Caesar Out of Jesus

By: Robert M. Wills

Jesus is the center of Christian faith and the Bible is its holy book, its sacred scriptures. For hundreds of years, this meant that Jesus was divine and the Bible was a divine product. This remains the primary perspective for many Christians today. However, it has mutated appreciably for others. It is not that Jesus is no longer thought of as the center of Christian faith or the Bible as Christianity's sacred scriptures. Those remain true for everyone. However, studies in biblical criticism and the historical Jesus suggest Jesus was a Palestinian Jew a human being -- not different in that respect from you and me. Divinity was bestowed upon him by his followers, and eventually took the form of imperial divinity after the example of Caesar. This presents a conundrum for Christianity. What, for instance, is Christianity to do with a human being at its center? How has Christianity accommodated imperial rule? What do we do with those imperial titles by which he is known Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and Son of God? Taking Caesar out of Jesus presents a new portrait of Jesus based on solid historical evidence assembled from the works of hundreds of critical biblical scholars. As the subtitle proclaims, Jesus emerges from this book as a new figure, relevant to the 21st century. Some will say this new perspective destroys Christianity. Others will find Jesus to be far more believable and compelling. Anyone will find this progressive approach to uncovering the historical Jesus thought-provoking. This book, however, goes beyond biblical criticism and a new portrait of the historical Jesus. It confronts the Christian proclamation that Jesus is humanity's savior including the notion that it needs a savior. It suggests that the historical Jesus never embraced the well-known notion of divine salvation. To the contrary, Jesus embraced Judaism's wisdom tradition. In the wisdom tradition, a person deals with the exigencies of life by developing a new vision of reality, and by acting differently. Jesus did not provide an instruction manual for living; rather, he pointed us in the direction of self-management. As described in this book, this new way of living, taken from Jesus's parables and aphorisms, will startle some, and stir others toward greater maturity and responsibility for their own lives.

Psychology of Science

Implicit and Explicit Processes

By: Robert W. Proctor,E.J. Capaldi

The study of science, sometimes referred to as metascience, is a new and growing field that includes the philosophy of science, history of science, sociology of science, and anthropology of science. In the last ten years, the formal study of the psychology of science has also emerged. The psychology of science focuses on the individual scientist, influenced by intelligence, motivation, personality, and the development of scientific interest, thought, ability, and achievement over a lifespan. Science can be defined as explicitly and systematically testing hypotheses. Defined more broadly, science includes wider processes, such as theory construction and the hypothesis testing seen in children and "non-scientific" adults. Most prior work in the study of science has emphasized the role of explicit reasoning; however, contemporary research in psychology emphasizes the importance of implicit processes in decision-making and choice and assumes that the performance of many tasks involves a complex relationship between implicit and explicit processes. Psychology of Science brings together contributions from leaders in the emerging discipline of the psychology of science with other experts on the roles of implicit and explicit processes in thinking. Highlighting the role of implicit processes in the creation of scientific knowledge, this volume links the psychology of science to many strands of psychology , including cognitive, social, and developmental psychology, as well as neuroscience. Ultimately, this volume raises awareness of the psychology of science among psychologists, philosophers, and sociologists of science, and anyone interested in the metasciences.
