Introduction to Quantitative Genetics is a foundational textbook that presents the theoretical principles underlying genetic variation in quantitative (continuously varying) traits. The book focuses on how genetic and environmental factors contribute to phenotypic variation and how these factors can be analyzed mathematically and statistically. Falconer systematically explains topics such as g…
This work discusses the application of relativity theory in astronomical modeling and examines whether physical quantities in astrophysical systems may require discretization instead of continuous representation.
This book presents a conceptual journey from the classical Pythagorean theorem through vector geometry to key ideas of Einstein’s special theory of relativity. Friedrichs emphasizes geometric reasoning to connect algebra, mechanics, and relativistic physics, making advanced physical ideas accessible through carefully developed mathematical foundations. The work bridges ancient geometry and mo…
Ecology of European Rivers is a comprehensive, scholarly volume examining the biological, chemical, and physical processes that shape river ecosystems across Europe. Edited by B. A. Whitton, the book brings together contributions from leading European ecologists and hydrobiologists. The text systematically explores river structure and function, primary production, algal and macrophyte communit…
Ecology presents modern ecology as a collection of distinct yet interconnected approaches rather than a single unified science. Written by leading ecologists, the book introduces six major subdisciplines—landscape, physiological, ecosystem, population, community, and behavioral ecology—focusing on the types of questions ecologists ask and the methods they use. Each chapter explores theory, …
This volume presents the proceedings of an international seminar examining the environmental behavior of technetium, with particular emphasis on technetium‑99. It addresses sources and environmental distribution of technetium released from nuclear fuel cycles and medical applications, its chemical speciation and mobility in soils and aquatic systems, and its biochemical interactions in plants…
An advanced text introducing the fundamental principles and mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics by physicist V. A. Fock. Covers wave functions, operators, atomic systems, and applications of quantum theory
A practical introduction to quantum mechanics containing worked examples and applications for students and researchers in theoretical physics.
