Seeking Ultimates is yet another, but it is a book with a difference. Part personal memoir, part philosophy and part history, it introduces readers to both basic and advanced topics in modern physics while at the same time illustrating the limitations of science. The inability of science to explain
particles (for example, the positron), by 1934 there was general agreement that in beta decay, an electron and a neutrino were simultaneously produced in the act of emission, and that neither electrons nor neutrinos were otherwise present in nuclei, whether radioactive or stable. The last controver
This book is an ideal introduction for beginning students of econometrics that assumes only basic familiarity with matrix algebra and calculus. It features practical questions which can be answered using econometric methods and models. Focusing on a limited number of the most basic and widely used m
We explored a number of theoretical and practical approaches used to understand and optimize contrast to noise of the versatile Ti based perfusion model. The interplay between tissue T, and blood T, was investigated. We also provided a succinct evaluation of the several popular Ti based methods curr
