Physics and engineering governing the applications of synchrotron radiation is based on enormous achievements during more than one hundred years in the filed of X-ray physics and technology. The contents of this book, starting with the very general aspects of synchrotron radiation investigated, have been developed by numerous scientist and experimentalist in this field during the past 20 years.…
This book is intended as a textbook for a course in radiation physics in academic medical physics graduate programs. The book may also be of interest to the large number of professionals, not only physicists, who in their daily occupations deal with various aspects of medical physics and have a need to improve their understanding of radiation physics. Medical physics is a rapidly growing…
Coronary blood flow is blood flow to the heart for its own metabolic needs. In the most common form of heart disease there is a disruption in this flow because of obstructive disease in the vessels that carry the flow. The subject of coronary blood flow is therefore associated mostly with the pathophysiology of this disease, rarely with dynamics or physics. Yet, the system responsible for …
Few sounds in nature show the beauty, diversity and structure that we find in birdsong. The song produced by a bird that is frequently found in the place where we grew up has an immense evocative power, hardly comparable with any other natural phenomenon. These reasons would have been more than enough to attract our interest to the point of working on an aspect of this phenomenon. However,…
