![]() Andrew May, "Fake Physics: Spoofs, Hoaxes and Fictitious Science " English | ISBN: 3030133133 | 2019 |180 pages | MOBI | 6 MB People are used to seeing "fake physics" in science fiction - concepts like faster-than-light travel, antigravity and time travel to name a few. The fiction label ought to be a giveaway, but some SF writers - especially those with a background in professional science - are so adept at "technobabble" that it can be difficult to work out what is fake and what is real. To confuse matters further, Isaac Asimov's 1948 piece about the fictitious time-travelling substance thiotimoline was written, not as a short story, but in the form of a spoof research paper. ![]() Andrew May, "Fake Physics: Spoofs, Hoaxes and Fictitious Science " English | ISBN: 3030133133 | 2019 | 180 pages | AZW3 | 19 MB People are used to seeing "fake physics" in science fiction - concepts like faster-than-light travel, antigravity and time travel to name a few.

Barton, in this outstanding book on facial rejuvenation. Written in a personal style that engages the reader, Dr. Barton shares his personal philosophy that a more extensive face lift is worth the effort if it delivers a highly consistent, long-lasting, and natural result. For him, that operation is the High-SMAS. ![]() Fabulous Adventures in Data Structures and Algorithms (MEAP V03) English | 2026 | ISBN: 9781633435032 | 245 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 15.05 MB Author Eric Lippert introduces fabulous solutions using uncommon algorithms and data structures. ![]() Noureddine Abidi, "FTIR Microspectroscopy: Selected Emerging Applications" English | ISBN: 3030844242 | 2022 | 159 pages | MOBI | 3 MB Fourier Transform Infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR) was first developed by William Coblentz in 1905 for analytical purposes. It has been established as a powerful analytical method to analyze a wide range of materials. The most convenient way to analyze the molecular structure was to prepare KBr pellets with small amount of chemical species. Currently, the development of the Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance (UATR) allows the use of ZnSe-Diamond crystal to acquire FTIR spectra directly from the sample with no special preparation. These traditional FTIR analyses have been made with devices capable of performing single measurements, thus, providing a single IR spectrum of the sample. Recent major technological development in FTIR instrumentation was development of microscopes and imaging systems. These devices are now capable of imaging larger sample area, providing not only spectroscopic information but also spatial distributional information. In addition, the developmentof Focal Point Array (FPA) has made FTIR imaging an emerging area of chemical imaging research. The aim of this book is to summarize in a single document the research work that is being performed using UATR and IR imaging in selected emerging applications in plant materials and biological samples. This book provides the readers new knowledge, updates information, emerging applications, and understanding of the potential use of FTIR Microspectroscopy. ![]() Noureddine Abidi, "FTIR Microspectroscopy: Selected Emerging Applications" English | ISBN: 3030844242 | 2022 | 159 pages | AZW3 | 14 MB Fourier Transform Infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR) was first developed by William Coblentz in 1905 for analytical purposes.
