Book Synopsis Classical Cats by : Donald W. Engels
Download or read book Classical Cats written by Donald W. Engels and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive book on classical cats. The cat has played a significant role in history from the earliest times. Well known is its role in the religion and art of ancient Egypt, no less than its association with witchcraft in the Middle Ages. But when did the cat become a domestic companion and worker as well? There has been much debate about the position of the cat in ancient Greece and Rome. Artistic representations are sometimes ambiguous, and its role as a mouse-catcher seems often to have been carried out by weasels. Yet other evidence clearly suggests that the cat was as important to Greeks and Romans as it is to many modern people. This book is the first comprehensive survey of the evidence for cats in Greece and Rome, and of their functions and representations in art. Donald Engels draws on authors from Aesop to Aristotle; on vase-painting, inscriptions and the plastic arts; and on a thorough knowledge of zoology of the cat. He also sets the ancient evidence in the wider context of the Egyptian period that preceded it, as well as the views of the Church fathers who ushered antiquity into the Middle Ages.

Book Synopsis Parasites, Pussycats and Psychosis by : E. Fuller Torrey
Download or read book Parasites, Pussycats and Psychosis written by E. Fuller Torrey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyzes the evidence linking Toxoplasma gondii to the increasing incidence of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in the United States. Initially establishing that infectious agents are regularly transmitted from animals to humans, lead to human disease, and that infectious agents can cause psychosis, it then examines the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in detail. Infecting 40 million Americans, Toxoplasma gondii is known to cause congenital infections, eye disease, and encephalitis for individuals who are immunosuppressed. It has also been shown to change the behavior of nonhuman mammals, as well as to alter some personality traits in humans. After discussing the clinical evidence linking Toxoplasma gondii to human psychosis, the book elucidates the epidemiological evidence further supporting this linkage; including the proportional increase in incidence of human psychosis as cats transitioned to domestication over 800 years. Finally, the book assesses the magnitude of the problem and suggests solutions. Parasites, Pussycats and Psychosis: The Unknown Dangers of Human Toxoplasmosis provides a comprehensive review of the evidence linking human psychosis in the United States to infections of Toxoplasma gondii. It will be of interest to infectious disease specialists, general practitioners, scientists, historians, and cat-lovers.

Book Synopsis From Micro to Macro Quantum Systems by : K Kong Wan
Download or read book From Micro to Macro Quantum Systems written by K Kong Wan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006-03-03 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional quantum theory has a very rigid structure, making it difficult to accommodate new properties emerging from novel systems. This book presents a flexible and unified theory for physical systems, from micro and macro quantum to classical. This is achieved by incorporating superselection rules and maximal symmetric operators into the theory. The resulting theory is applicable to classical, microscopic quantum and non-orthodox mixed quantum systems of which macroscopic quantum systems are examples. A unified formalism also greatly facilitates the discussion of interactions between these systems. A scheme of quantization by parts is introduced, based on the mathematics of selfadjoint and maximal symmetric extensions of symmetric operators, to describe point interactions. The results are applied to treat superconducting quantum circuits in various configurations. This book also discusses various topics of interest such as the asymptotic treatment of quantum state preparation and quantum measurement, local observables and local values, Schrödinger's cat states in superconducting systems, and a path space formulation of quantum mechanics. This self-contained book is complete with a review of relevant geometric and operator theories, for example, vector fields and operators, symmetric operators and their maximal symmetric extensions, direct integrals of Hilbert spaces and operators. Contents:Aspects of Geometric and Operator Theories:Manifolds and Dynamical SystemsOperators and Their Direct IntegralsOrthodox and Generalized Quantum Mechanics:Orthodox Quantum MechanicsPhysical Theory in Hilbert SpaceGeneralized Quantum MechanicsPoint Interactions, Macroscopic Quantum Systems and Superselection Rules:Point InteractionsMacroscopic Quantum SystemsAsymptotic Disjointness, Asymptotic Separability, Quantum Mechanics on Path Space and Superselection Rules:Separability and DecoherenceQuantum Mechanics on Path Space Readership: Theoretical and mathematical physicists, applied and pure mathematicians, physicists and philosophers of science (with an interest in quantum theory). Key Features:Rigorous formulation of a unified theory in a form directly applicable to physical systemsIntroduction of a quantization-by-part scheme to treat point interactionsSystematic and explicit treatment of quantum circuits in terms of point interactionsDistinctive selection of materials rarely discussed elsewhere, including a large number of examples and contemporary topicsDiscussions on the interplay of mathematics and physicsKeywords:Quantum Mechanics;Quantization;Macroscopic Quantum Systems;Superconducting Circuits;Point Contact InteractionsReviews:“Numerous sections of the book can be studied (and are really worth studying) like a textbook and without the necessity of going through the rest of the volume … certainly, everyone who works through the book will be rewarded by an enhanced comprehension of orthodox quantum theory … there are many solid reasons for recommending this book to the whole community of physicists and mathematicians — from graduate students to researchers — interested in a fresh description of the microscopic and macroscopic quantum worlds.”Mathematical Reviews
