Quantum theory presents a strange picture of the world, offering no real account of physical properties apart from observation. Neils Bohr felt that this reflected a core truth of nature: "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract mathematical description." Among the most significant developments since Bohr's day has been the theorem of John S. Bell. It is important to consider whether Bell's analysis supports such a denial of microrealism. In this book, we evaluate the situation in terms of an early work of Erwin Schrödinger. Doing so, we see how Bell's theorem is conceptually related to the Conway and Kochen Free Will theorem and also to all the major anti-realism efforts. It is easy to show that none of these analyses imply the impossibility of objective realism. We find that Schrödinger's work leads to the derivation of a new series of theoretical proofs and potential experiments, each involving entanglement,  the link between particles in some quantum systems. .

L'opera si propone di introdurre i principi fondamentali della Fisica del Plasma, disciplina che trova applicazione sia nel campo del'energetica (Fusione Termonucleare Controllata), sia dell'Astrofisica (oltre il 90% della materia dell'Universo è sotto forma di plasma). Dopo un capitolo introduttivo, vengono discussi i possibili schemi di descrizione teorica dei plasmi. La parte centrale è dedicata alla discussione della magnetoidrodinamica, con particolare riguardo alla teoria delle onde e delle instabilità. Vengono infine trattati i problemi della riconnessione magnetica e delle onde d'urto nei plasmi. Per ogni argomento trattato vengono illustrate delle applicazioni di carattere astrofisico. I calcoli vengono sempre svolti esplicitamente in modo da permettere allo studente una piena comprensione delle relative tecniche. Una serie di esercizi permette inoltre la verifica delle competenze acquisite. Il libro è destinato agli studenti dei corsi di Laurea Magistrale e di Dottorato .

Optical Coherence Tomography represents the ultimate noninvasive  ocular imaging technique although being in the field for over two-decades. This book encompasses both medical and technical developments and recent achievements. Here, the authors cover the field of application from the anterior to the posterior ocular segments (Part I) and present a comprehensive review on the development of OCT. Important developments towards  clinical applications are covered in Part II, ranging from the adaptive optics to the integration on a slit-lamp, and passing through new structural  and functional information extraction from OCT data. The book is intended to be informative, coherent and comprehensive for both the medical and technical communities and aims at easing the communication between the two fields and bridging the gap between the two scientific communities.

This book shows that the strong interaction forces, which keep hadrons and nuclei together, are relativistic gravitational forces exerted between very small particles in the mass range of neutrinos. First, this book considers the motion of two or three charged particles under the influence of electrostatic and gravitational forces only, which shows that bound states are formed by following the same semi-classical methodology used by Bohr to describe the H atom. This approach is also coupled with Newton's gravitational law and with Einstein's special relativity. The results agree with experiments on the masses, binding energies, radii, angular momenta and magnetic moments of hadrons. The model provides the means to rationalize all the main experimental features of the strong force. Some of the implications for the unification of forces and the nature of our micro-cosmos and macro-cosmos are also discussed. The creation of mass itself, in other words, of hadrons from particles as light as neutrinos, can now be modeled in a straightforward manner.
