Hardback. Zustand: New. This book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spatial patterns and forms, generated in nature by the interplay of chemical and biological reactions with transport processes, as there are diffusion, convection, chemotaxis, or others.  Their role in our perception and in scientific investigations is immanent in the concepts of natural laws. They have the capacity to explain phenomena like self-organization in systems far away from thermodynamic equilibrium or to formulate the influence of nonlinear interactions on complexity. Just take the omnipresent waves, as they propagate in liquids with or without reactivity, act inside biological cells or become apparent in a biomedical context, as in the heart during arrhythmias or in the visual cortex, when a migraine aura is noticed. Such phenomena are prominent topics of future-oriented, and hopefully beneficial research.Our colleagues and friends contribute to this book in presentations on the origins, mechanisms, and dynamics relevant for their special research endeavors, from earlier to actual, more complex topics. These comprise numerous scientific fields in theory, mathematics, physics and chemistry laboratories, field studies on morphogenesis and the course of biological evolution, or analysis of specific medical data, including epidemiological studies.On the whole, the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic journey through an attractive world full of color and "visual adventures.".…

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Neu. This book explores the fascinating and intimate relationship between music and physics. Over millennia, the playing of, and listening to music have stimulated creativity and curiosity in people all around the globe. Beginning with the basics, the authors first address the tonal systems of European-type music, comparing them with those of other, distant cultures. They analyze the physical principles of common musical instruments with emphasis on sound creation and particularly charisma. Modern research on the psychology of musical perception - the field known as psychoacoustics - is also described. The sound of orchestras in concert halls is discussed, and its psychoacoustic effects are explained. Finally, the authors touch upon the role of music for our mind and society. Throughout the book, interesting stories and anecdotes give insights into the musical activities of physicists and their interaction with composers and musicians.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Neu. How is music born? Is music made by humans or does it already exist and wait to be found? How do composers create (or ?nd) music? Having these questions in mind the authors ask more questions: How can we share our feelings with other people when listening to music? Can these be visualized? Why did Helmholtz have a problem with the third? Why is precise tuning so important in European music and less so in other cultures? What are the differences among the continents? What makes dissonant tone intervals uncomfortable in many cases? What enables us to distinguish the music of Mozart from that of Beethoven? Why are we fascinated by birdsong? Why does some music survive, whereas other just disappears? And finally, along which lines will music develop in the future? Drawing upon physics and mathematics, the authors search for answers to these questions and attempt to unravel in some depth the enigmas of how our minds are affected by the perception of music.

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Als Midi wird in etwa das s?dliche Drittel Frankreichs bezeichnet. Seine vielf?ltigen und farbenfrohen Landschaften werden von Hochgebirgen, weitl?ufigem Bergland und Meeren begrenzt. In gro?en Teilen des S?dens wurde statt mit "oui" - wie im Norden ?blich - mit "oc" bejaht, so in der Provinz Languedoc (aus "langue d?c"), das heute zusammen mit dem Roussillon und den Midi-pyr?n?es die Region Okzitanien mit Hauptstadt Toulouse bildet. Der Autor begibt sich auf eine Reise durch viele St?dte und Landstriche des Midi. Seit 1969 hat er mit Begeisterung und ungeschm?lertem Interesse Land und Leute, Sprache und Kultur, Geschichte und Lebensart sowie kulinarische ?berraschungen eines liebenswerten St?cks S?deuropas mit aufregender Geschichte und mildem, bes?nftigendem Klima erlebt. Wir lesen ?ber die Pyren?en mit dem "Balkon" Canigou, die Vorgebirge mit ihren Katharerfestungen, die romanische Kunst und Architektur und den Wein der Corbi?res, die wunderbaren K?sten der Meere, vielleicht auch das Einatmen k?hler, trockener Luft auf den gro?fl?chigen Kalk-Hochebenen der Causses. Auch das Erleben provenzalischer Lebensart geh?rt dazu. Die Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen erwecken Neugier und Respekt f?r das Andere in unser Nachbarl?nder und k?nnen durchweg mit Spannung verfolgt werden. De Gewicht in Gramm: 253.…
