A comprehensive textbook covering modern quantum optics experiments, with emphasis on single-photon technology and quantum logic.

Nuclear Superfluidity is the first modern text devoted exclusively to pair correlations in nuclei. It begins by exploring pair correlations in a variety of systems including superconductivity in metals at low temperatures and superfluidity in liquid 3He and in neutron stars. The book goes on to introduce basic theoretical methods, symmetry breaking and symmetry restoration in finite many-body systems. The last four chapters are devoted to introducing new results on the role of induced interactions in the structure of both normal and exotic nuclei. The most important of these is the renormalization of the pairing interaction due to the coupling of pairs of nucleons to low energy nuclear collective excitations. This book will be essential reading for researchers and students in both experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, and related research fields such as metal clusters, fullerenes and quantum dots.

""Mesozoic Birds is the first book to bring together world-renowned specialists on fossil birds and their importance to avian origins and, more importantly, it stresses a unified approach (cladistics) and presents the most anatomically detailed analyses available to date. No other study or collection of studies has ever done so much. How could the project not be welcomed by its audience of paleontologists, ornithologists, and evolutionary biologists!"--David Weishampel, editor of "The Dinosauria "This is the first comprehensive volume dedicated to the relationships and evolution of the birds that lived during the Age of Dinosaurs. Its wealth of information and its diversity of viewpoints will ensure that this indispensable volume is used and discussed for many years to come."--Kevin Padian, University of California, Berkeley Our knowledge of the origin and early evolution of birds has exploded in the past ten to fifteen years. In the 1990s alone, scientists became aware of approximately three times more species of early birds than were previously known, marking the first 85 million years of avian development as a period of remarkable species diversity. Assembling work by an international group of renowned scientists, "Mesozoic Birds: Above the Heads of Dinosaurs "is the most authoritative and up-to-date source on early avian evolution currently available. This unique resource provides a comprehensive examination of the known fossil record and is also an unparalleled guide to the fast-paced developments in current research. "Mesozoic Birds: Above the Heads of Dinosaurs "covers a wide range of topics, including discussions of avian origins, the fossil record of feathers and footprints, bone histology, and locomotor evolution. Controversial taxa such as "Protoavis, Caudipteryx, "and "Mononykus "receive special treatment. But the heart of the volume presents the anatomy, relationships, and paleobiology of the undisputed Mesozoic aviary. Some of the book''s most exciting features are the new definitive descriptions and illustrations of taxa that previously have received only brief notice, such as the alvarezsaurid "Shuvuuia; "the enantiornithines "Sinornis; Eoalulavis, Vorona, "and "Patagopteryx; "and

Environmental degradation in the Aral Sea basin has been a touchstone for increasing public awareness of environmental issues. The Aral crisis has been touted as a quiet Chernobyl and as one of the worst human-made environmental catastrophes of the twentieth century. This multidisciplinary book is the first to comprehensively describe the slow onset of low grade but incremental changes (i.e., creeping environmental change) which affected the region and its peoples. Through a set of case studies, it describes how the regions decision-makers allowed these changes to grow into an environmental and societal nightmare. It outlines many lessons to be learned for other areas undergoing detrimental creeping environmental change, and provides an important example of how to approach such disasters for students and researchers of environmental studies, global change, political science and history.

La quinta edición de Lehninger Principios de Bioquímica es una introducción al tema favorito de los autores y un intento de que también lo sea del lector. En los cuatro años transcurridos desde la publicacion de la tercera edicion, tanto la velocidad como el alcance de los descubrimientos en bioquimica han sido extraordinarios. No solo sabemos lo que sucede dentro de las celulas sino donde y cuando sucede, que es lo que determina la localizacion y que es lo que controla el momento del acontecimiento. Desde la secuencia del genoma humano a la estructura de alta resolucion del ribosoma, los principales avances recientes que amplian nuestro conocimiento de la bioquimica llenan las paginas de este libro. Al tiempo que se incluyen estos nuevos y apasionantes desarrollos se ha intentado comunicar a los estudiantes los fundamentos de la bioquimica en una forma que sea reflejo del conocimiento actual de este campo. Como siempre, los esfuerzos para integrar los nuevos avances se equilibran con los destinados a mejorar la precision y la pedagogia del material basico de la bioquimica.

This book presents, for the first time, a systematic formulation of the geometric theory of noncommutative PDE''s which is suitable enough to be used for a mathematical description of quantum dynamics and quantum field theory. A geometric theory of supersymmetric quantum PDE''s is also considered, in order to describe quantum supergravity. Covariant and canonical quantizations of (super) PDE''s are shown to be founded on the geometric theory of PDE''s and to produce quantum (super) PDE''s by means of functors from the category of commutative (super) PDE''s to the category of quantum (super) PDE''s. Global properties of solutions to (super) (commutative) PDE''s are obtained by means of their integral bordism groups.
