Scientific Cosmology is clearly one of the most active physics research fields at present, and likely to remain so in the near future. Shortly after the pioneering cosmological work of Einstein, Georges Lemaitre proposed a model which some years later to be known as the big-bang model. In the early fifties an alternative proposal, the so called steady-state (expansion at constant density) model, became the fashionable model in prominent academic circles. The discovery of the cosmic background microwave radiation (Penzias & Wilson, 1965) made the steady-state model almost untenable. A quarter o

This book begins by introducing the effective field approach, the simplest approach to phase transitions. It provides an intuitive approximation to the physics of such diverse phenomena as liquid-vapor transitions, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, order-disorder in alloys, ferroelectricity, superfluidity and ferroelasticity. The connection between the effective field approach and Landau's theory is stressed. The main coverage is devoted to specific applications of the effective field concept to ferroelectric systems, both hydrogen bonded ferroelectrics, like those in the TGS family, and ox

This interesting book reviews WMAP's main results (2003) and discusses in detail how the accurate qualitative results for the "age" of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published five years before in Acta Cosmologica, Krakow. In the final chapter on "Cosmic Numbers", it is shown that, as a result of the coincidence at decoupling time between atom formation and matter/radiation equality, a reasonable cosmic justification for the mass ratio of protons and electrons is obtained.

The book was an outcome of a Conference-Summer Course on "Astrophysical Cosmology: Frontier Questions" held at El Escorial, Madrid, on August 16-19, 1993. The Scientific Directors were John C Mather, Director of NASA's COBE (Cosmic Background Radiation Explorer), and Jose M Torroja, Secretary of the Spanish Academy of Sciences. Julio A Gonzalo, UAM, was in charge of coordinating the event. The first speaker was Ralph A Alpher, one of the pioneers who predicted very early the CBR (Cosmic Background Radiation). The CBR was observed by A Penzias and R Wilson, Bell Telephone Labs, in 1965. Thereafter it was measured with unprecedented precision by the COBE in 1989, characterizing the Planck spectral distribution of the CBR (J C Mather) and detecting its minute anisotropies (G Smoot). In 2003 the WMAP, NASA's satellite successor of the COBE, confirmed COBE's results, and gave an excellent quantitative estimate of the "age" of the universe as 13.7 ± 0.2 Gyrs, in support of the Big Bang theory of cosmic origins. In the Third Edition of this book, almost coincident with the launch reports of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), includes recent work discussing evidence in favor of an open finite universe. A further discussion of the Heisenberg-Lemaitre time (Appendix D) takes into consideration that the cosmic expansion velocity at very early times is Ṙ(yHL)≫c and reviews in more detail the thermal history of the universe.

Very often, contemporary theoretical cosmologists ignore the crucial contributions made in Medieval Europe to the birth of modern physics. This book intends to bridge the gap in accessible language for the non specialist. This book puts in a proper historical perspective, that the universe is intelligible as attested by the monumental fact of modern science, and, therefore, that it is contingent, and therefore created.

The 20th Century has been called the Century of Physics. It could be even more appropriate to call it the Century of Solid State Physics. All the technological developments which had changed the world by the end of the century had been based upon previous scientific developments in Solid State Physics. The Braggs, Debye, Bardeen, Landau were certainly at the forefront of all those revolutionary changes.

Materials physics is a very active research field at present and it is expected to remain so in the foreseeable future. Different spectroscopies are currently used to investigate the structure and dynamics of crystalline materials. Some traditional spectroscopies are presented in this book: optical, magnetic resonance, ultrasonic, brillouin, neutron scattering, soft mode and dielectric response spectroscopies. For all of them, the presentation is complemented with some reference material for more modern or sophisticated spectroscopies.This book should be useful as an introductory textbook for

th We are proud to present the proceedings of the 10 European Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL 2006) which, following Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), Paris(1999),Lisbon(2000),Darmstadt(2001),Rome(2002),Trondheim(2003), Bath (2004) and Vienna (2005), took place on September 17-22, 2006 at the UniversityofAlicante,Spain.Overthelasttenyears,ECDLhascreatedastrong interdisciplinarycommunityofresearchersandpractitionersinthe?eldofdigital libraries, and has formed a substantial body of scholarly publications contained th in the conference proceedings. As a commemorationof its 10 anniversary,and by special arrangementwith Springer,these proceedingsinclude (as an attached CD-ROM) an electronic copy of all ECDL proceedings since its inception in 1997: a small but rich digital library on digital libraries. ECDL2006featuredseparatecallsforpaperandpostersubmissions,resulting in 130 full papers and 29 posters being submitted to the conference. All papers were subject to an in-depth peer-review process; three reviews per submission were produced by a Program Committee of 92 members and 42 additional - viewers from 30 countries. Finally, 36 full paper submissions were accepted at the Program Committee meeting, resulting in an acceptance rate of 28%. Also, 15 poster submissions plus 18 full paper submissions were accepted as poster or demopresentations,whicharealsoincludedinthisvolumeasfour-pageextended abstracts. The conference program started on Sunday 17 with a rich tutorials program, whichincludedatutorialonthesauriandontologiesindigitallibrariesbyDag- ert Soergel, and introduction to digital libraries by Ed Fox, a tutorial on bri- ing digital libraries to distributed infrastructures by Thomas Risse and Claudia Nieder´ ee,a descriptionof the Fedorarepositoryand serviceframeworkbySandy Payette and Carl Lagoze, a tutorial on creating full-featured institutional rep- itories combining DSpace ETD-db and DigiTool, and a tutorial on the use of XML and TEI for content production and metadata.
