Abstract:
The Casimir force is an effect of quantum vacuum field fluctuations, with applications in many domains of physics. The ideal expression obtained by Casimir, valid for perfect plane mirrors at zero temperature, has to be modified to take into account the effects of the optical properties of mirrors, thermal fluctuations, and geometry. After a general introduction to the Casimir force and a description of the current state of the art for Casimir force measurements and their comparison with theory, this chapter presents pedagogical treatments of the main features of the theory of Casimir forces f

The coherent state formalism is used in order to study the classical limit of quantum theories and, in particular, quantum electrodynamics.

Abstract:
Even though the general framework of statistical mechanics is ultimately targeted at the description of macroscopic systems, it is illustrative to apply it first to some simple systems: a harmonic oscillator, a rotor, and a spin in a magnetic field. These applications serve to illustrate how a key function associated with the Gibbs state, the so-called partition function, is calculated in practice, how the entropy function is obtained via a Legendre transformation, and how such systems behave in the limits of high and low temperatures. After discussing these simple systems, this chapter consid

Functional MRI with BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) imaging is one of the commonly used modalities for studying brain function in neuroscience.

In recent years, a new approach to fMRI was developed that is called resting-state fMRI. The fMRI signal from this method does not require the brain to perform any goal-directed task; i

This chapter provides an overview over the recently developed so-called multifractal (MF) approach for modeling and forecasting volatility. For analysts and policy makers, volatility is a key variable for understanding market fluctuations. Analysts need accurate forecasts of volatility for tasks such as risk management, as well as option and futures pricing. In addition, asset market volatility plays an important role in monetary policy. The chapter, then, outlines the genesis of the multifractal approach from similar models of turbulent flows in statistical physics and provides details about

Scoliosis is an anatomical deformity caused by a lateral and rotational shift in the thoracolumbar spine. Surgical correction involves wide exposure of the spine for placement of stabilizing rods and can result in significant complications from excessive blood loss and neurologic impairments. These procedures require vigilance to acid-base status, hemodynamic fluctuations, coagulation, temperature maintenance, and neurologic monitoring from anesthesiologists. Other major anesthetic considerations discussed include maintaining the integrity of perfusion to the spinal cord, positioning concerns,

Abstract:
The limited data available about a macroscopic system may come in various forms: sharp constraints, expectation values, or control parameters. While these data impose constraints on the state, they do not specify it uniquely; a further principle—the maximum entropy principle—must be invoked to construct it. This chapter discusses basic notions of information theory and why entropy may be regarded as a measure of ignorance. It shows how the state—called a Gibbs state—is constructed using the maximum entropy principle, and elucidates its generic properties, which are conveniently summarized in a

Also, but contrary to fact, if content were phenomenally determinative, all cognitive states with the same content would have the same character.

Abstract:
Nanoscale devices are distinguishable from the larger microscale devices in their specific dependence on physical phenomena and effects that are central to their operation. The size change manifests itself through changes in importance of the phenomena and effects that become dominant and the changes in scale of underlying energetics and response. Examples of these include classical effects such as single electron effects, quantum effects such as the states accessible as well as their properties; ensemble effects ranging from consequences of the laws of numbers to changes in properties arising
