Significant progress has been made in the study of human psychology in recent years. However, the human pursuit of happiness through the use of scientific methods has yet to be fully examined. Scientific Concepts Behind Happiness, Kindness, and Empathy in Contemporary Society is an essential reference...

As accelerator science and technology progressed over the past several decades, the accelerators themselves have undergone major improvements in multiple performance factors: beam energy, beam power, and beam brightness. As a consequence, accelerators have found applications in a wide range of fields...

傑出神經科學家達馬吉歐融合理性與感性思路的頂峰！ 國際期刊譽為被引用最多的神經科學家安東尼歐．達馬吉歐在這部最新作品中，反思生命起源、感覺、思想和文化，跨越化學、生物學、心理學、人類學和社會學，提綱挈領地說明了一則關於我們是誰，以及我們的行為的新理論。 達馬吉歐長久以來關注人類的情緒與感覺問題，本書以其研究團隊的「恆定狀態」研究成果，為生物學與社會科學建立起連結。研究結論是：感覺是恆定狀態的動力，是生命調節背後的強大原則。嚴格來說，人類的傳奇在很大程度上要歸功於高度發展的大腦皮質，但這個傳奇的本質在許久之前早已萌芽。 本書的重要觀點如下： 人為何與如何表達情緒、感覺，以及運用感覺建構自我； 感覺如何成為人類最佳意圖的助力或阻力；以及， 腦部與身體之間為何與如何互動，才能支撐前述功能。 這部著作提出令人耳目一新的觀點，將震撼讀者對生命、心智與文化背後機制的概念。 【各界好評】 安東尼歐．達馬吉歐的新書《事物的奇怪順序》不只想講那些好聽又合理的故事，而是想要在人類飽受人工智慧威脅的此時，帶我們重新思考生命、人類的本質。……作者在書中或許沒有排除了人為萬物之靈的觀點，卻提供了其他的思考點…… ——輔仁大學心理學系副教授　黃揚名 書中內容讀起來真是引人入勝……對於任何心理分析學家來說，這都是不容錯過的一本書——當然也不僅只是對心理分析學家而已。達馬吉歐是我們在後真相時代中一位最稱得上是偉大公共知識分子的人士。 ——馬克．索姆斯（Mark...

Since the original publication of this book in 1992, the bleaching process has continued to attract the attention of researchers and the edible-oil industry. In this 2nd edition, the reader is directed to more modern techniques of analysis such as flame-atomic adsorption, graphite furnace atomic adsorption,...

As in the first edition, discussion is not confined to vegetable oils, and the hydrogenation technique is considered in detail. The "why" as well as the "how" of hydrogenation are addressed. Written for both production staff who need advice on specific problems and development...

One of the critical issues in semiconductor technology is the precise electrical characterization of ultra-shallow junctions. Among the plethora of measurement techniques, the optical reflectance approach developed in this work is the sole concept that does not require physical contact, making it...

For almost three quarters of a century, the United States has spent billions of dollars and countless person-hours in the pursuit of a national missile defense system that would protect the country from intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) carrying nuclear warheads. The system currently in place...

Neutrons are extremely versatile probes for investigating structure and dynamics in condensed matter. Due to their large penetration depth, they are ideal for in-situ measurements of samples situated in sophisticated and advanced environments. The advent of new high-intensity neutron sources and instruments,...

This text treats the fundamentals of optical and infrared detection in terms of the behavior of the radiation field, the physical properties of the detector, and the statistical behavior of the detector output. Both incoherent and coherent detection are treated in a unified manner, after which selected...

This book presents the theory, analysis, and design of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and sensor systems (in short, UWB systems) and their components. UWB systems find numerous applications in the military, security, civilian, commercial and medicine fields. This book addresses five main topics of UWB...
