Since the inception of the Fine-Structure Constant (α), for the last hundred years, scientists have been trying to explain its origin using other mathematical constants, as it is considered as one of the fundamental constants of nature as well as it is dimensionless. The value is very nearly equal to 1/(137.036) and for reasons of convenience, the reciprocal value of the fine-structure constant is often specified. The 2018 CODATA recommended value is given by α-1 = 137.035999084 1]. In this article, a simpler way was devised to obtain the inverse of this cosmological constant, with no more care given to physical dimensional analysis by using the mathematical constants listed below: Fibonacci Series: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987Golden Ratio (Φ) = 1.6180339887498948482045868343656381177Euler Number (e) = 2.718281828459045235360287471352662497Pi(π) = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937
This book contains the proceedings of Falk Symposium 167 entitled ‘Liver under Constant Attack – From Fat to Viruses’, which was held in Mainz, Germany, on 20–21 September 2008. It merges up-to-date viral liver immunology with relevant topics in clinical practice. Sections cover viral hepatitis, immunosuppressive approaches in liver patients, malignant liver diseases, inflammatory liver diseases and complications of liver cirrhosis. Interdisciplinary discussion of new concepts in the treatment of liver diseases makes this book valuable for scientists and clinicians alike.
This book is dedicated to those who are interested in altering life to attain bliss and happiness. I am one of you belonging to a business family living with three generations together. I have experienced various aspects of life working in multiple fields of activities throughout life. Recently, with the blessings of my Guru Sadhguru Sri Ramesh Ji of Poorna Ananda Ashram Hyderabad I got realization that even, while, living in the family performing all social, economic and family obligations we can adopt spiritual practices and mould ourselves in such a way where we can be the masters of our emotions and Virtues. Through this book I am trying to share my experiences to bring out the changes in our response to any behaviour which we receive from others. I feel it will help you to know yourself better who is a PURE SOUL, FULL OF PEACE, and LOVE with DIVINE ENERGY in a HEALTHY BODY. I assure you can change your any habit by just deciding not only wishing, committing not only trying and taking full responsibility not only hoping of the result.
Piecewise constant systems exist in widely expanded areas such as engineering, physics, and mathematics. Extraordinary and complex characteristics of piecewise constant systems have been reported in recent years. This book provides the methodologies for analyzing and assessing nonlinear piecewise constant systems on a theoretically and practically sound basis. Recently developed approaches for theoretically analyzing and numerically solving the nonlinear piecewise constant dynamic systems are reviewed. A new greatest integer argument with a piecewise constant function is utilized for nonlinear dynamic analyses and for establishing a novel criterion in diagnosing irregular and chaotic solutions from the regular solutions of a nonlinear dynamic system. The newly established piecewise constantization methodology and its implementation in analytically solving for nonlinear dynamic problems are also presented.
This book is a monograph about 1-dimensional flow arrays and bifurcations in constant and product polynomial systems. The 1-dimensional flows and the corresponding bifurcation dynamics are discussed. The singular hyperbolic and hyperbolic-secant flows are presented, and the singular hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic-secant flows are discussed. The singular inflection source, sink and upper, and lower-saddle flows are presented. The corresponding appearing and switching bifurcations are presented for the hyperbolic and hyperbolic-secant networks, and singular flows networks. The corresponding theorem is presented, and the proof of theorem is given. Based on the singular flows, the corresponding hyperbolic and hyperbolic-secant flows are illustrated for a better understanding of the dynamics of constant and product polynomial systems.
This book presents the first comprehensive exploration of the state of this well studied and thus unsolved mystery of the value of the Hubble constant. Chapters covering data, systematics, independent methodologies, and theoretical explanations are authored by distinguished subject-matter experts. Tailored for scientists in the field or adjacent fields, this book provides a resource of insights and also an in-depth background sufficient for motivating future study. Key Features: Introduction: Written by the Nobel Laureate Adam Riess. Measurement Techniques: Gain a profound understanding of the leading Hubble constant measurement techniques, from parallax and masers to supernovae and cosmic chronometers, dissected by leading authorities on each. Systematic Errors: A deep dive into the complexities of data. Experts scrutinize potential sources of systematics that may contribute to the observed disagreements, offering a nuanced view of the challenges in Hubble constant determinations. Theoretical Explanations and Progress: A review of the theoretical explanations, some that are still standing, and some that have been ruled out; all of which have led to scientific progress toward the truth. A Comprehensive Take: This book covers every key and influential aspect to the dilemma of the Hubble tension to date and has gathered world-leading voices on each respective topic.
The Deity Constant, is a geopolitical thriller that probes the volatile intersection of science, belief, and global power. The true reason behind the novel is even more intriguing - to challenge the greatest mystery faced by mankind. Set against a backdrop of rising authoritarianism and fractured alliances, The Deity Constant follows a rogue scientist whose discovery threatens to upend the world order. As governments scramble to control the implications, a shadow network emerges-one that sees divinity not as myth, but as a programmable force. The Deity Constant takes the reader on a journey starting in New York, and rapidly crosses to the Middle East before moving to a number of major capitals in the world.
The world is in a constant state of crisis -- with brands right in the middle of it. Whether it is climate change, artificial intelligence, political conflicts, or societal upheavals: companies must act faster, more flexibly, and more responsibly than ever before, while remaining profitable at the same time. But how does modern brand management navigate a brand through these challenging times? What is needed are strategic approaches that enable a future-proof brand management without neglecting the pressing social, ecological, and economic challenges of our time. All of this is critically discussed and reflected by the two authors in this book. In addition to the fundamentals of strategic brand management, they explain--using examples and visionary concepts--what holistic brand management looks like today and in the future. In this context, the fundamental societal role of brands, as well as the political and ethical dimensions of economic action in general, are also addressed. Because at this turning point in time brands must broaden their horizons, recognize and successfully master the complex social, ecological, and economic challenges of the present in order to secure and shape their own future.
