Renormalized Perturbation Theory and Its Optimization by the Principle of Minimal Sensitivity - Hardcover

$158.76

by P. M. Stevenson (Author)The results of renormalized perturbation theory, in QCD and other quantum field theories, are ambiguous at any finite order, due to renormalization-scheme dependence. The perturbative results depend upon extraneous scheme variables, including the renormalization scale, that the exact result cannot depend on. Such "non-invariant approximations" occur in many other areas of physics, too. The sensible strategy is to find where the approximant is stationary under small ...

Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation: PDE Computer Analysis in R - Hardcover

$194.40

by William Schiesser (Author)In response to an infection (e.g., from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses), the immune system can deplete macrophages (specialized white blood cells) and produce cytokines that are pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. This counterproductive autoimmune response is represented mathematically as nonlinear chemotaxis diffusion. This book is directed to the computer-based modeling of chemotaxis inflammation. The spatiotemporal analysis is based on a model of thr...

by Joan Weiner (Author)Not only can the influence of Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) be found in contemporary work in logic, the philosophy of mathematics, and the philosophy of language, but his projects--and the very terminology he employed in pursuing those projects--are still current in contemporary philosophy. This is undoubtedly why it seems so reasonable to assume that we can read Frege' s writings as if he were one of us, speaking to our philosophical concerns in our language. In Joan Weine...
