This book presents the latest developments in world physics, including chapters on the applications of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy; fiber laser setup used to generate several mode-locked pulses applied to soliton-based optical transmission link; microring resonators; the nature of waves; star groups in the Orion constellation; the dissolution process of star clusters in the context of…

This book presents the latest developments in world physics, including chapters on the regularization and numerical solution of direct and inverse waveguide problems; the predictability and unpredictability from the perspective of the interpretations of quantum mechanics; the external gamma radiation dose in Mexico; the quantum formulation of the electromagnetic field and London’s theory; the wide-aperture…

This book presents the latest developments in world physics. Chapter One presents the principles of small angle neutron scattering oriented towards the study of complex macromolecular, biological and hybrid nanoassemblies. Chapter Two reviews how a synergistic use of quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) can help shed light on the complex behavior of…

In this book, Chapter One reviews the dynamics of an apokamp and its parent discharge, present spectral data on apokamps in air, helium, and argon, and discuss possible applications of the novel phenomenon, in particular for simulating transient luminous events such as blue and red jets and for creating apokamp-based exciplex sources. In Chapter Two,…

In the opening chapter by J. J. Camacho, a study of laser-produced swine muscle plasma is presented. The findings indicate that the surface morphology of the irradiated surface increased the pressure of the ambient gas and decreased the ablated mass, significantly reducing the laser-target coupling. In the second chapter by Emanuele Calabrò, another study is…

Horizons in World Physics. Volume 295 provides a detailed description of major fundamental problems of physics associated with inconsistencies of major postulates and concepts used in classical, relativistic, quantum and particle physics. The authors examine conceptual difficulties of classical dynamics, afterwards introducing notions such as energy, momentum and collision. Difficulties related to the introduction of…
