TitleCapire l???Universo : L'appassionante avventura della cosmologia
Author(s)Lamberti, Corrado
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2011.
DescriptionX, 190 pagg. 86 figg., 1 figg. a colori : online resource
Abstract NotePer chi non ?? uno specialista nel campo non ?? facile capire a fondo i concetti della cosmologia moderna, che si basano sulla Relativit?? Generale e si intrecciano con le conquiste pi?? recenti della fisica delle particelle. L???intento di questo libro ?? quello di riuscire ad addomesticare i tecnicismi e le astrazioni dei cosmologi cos?? da offrirli alla comprensione di tutti. Il libro ripercorre l???evoluzione del pensiero cosmologico moderno, partendo da Herschel e passando per i lavori della Leavitt, di Shapley, Hubble, Friedmann, Lem??itre, Gamow fino all???affermazione del modello del Big Bang con l???inflazione e alla recente scoperta dell???energia oscura come motore dell???espansione cosmica accelerata

TitleIl fascino oscuro dell'inflazione : Alla scoperta della storia dell'Universo
Author(s)Fr??, Pietro
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2009.
DescriptionX, 144 pagg. 40 figg : online resource
Abstract Note?? dalla pi?? remota antichit?? che l???uomo si interroga sulla struttura dell???Universo e sulle leggi che lo governano. Ma il progresso compiuto all???inizio del XX secolo non ha paragoni rispetto a quello di tutti i secoli precedenti: nel 1915 fu formulata la relativit?? generale, indispensabile per inquadrare tutti i fenomeni cosmici e astrofisici; tra il 1920 e il 1930 furono determinate le reali dimensioni dell???Universo visibile e fu scoperta la sua costante espansione. La cosmologia ha poi fatto un grande salto di qualit?? a cavallo tra la fine del XX secolo e l???inizio del XXI, quando una serie di osservazioni ha confermato che: L???Universo ?? spazialmente "piatto", in seguito all???inflazione cosmica che, una frazione di secondo dopo il Big Bang, ne ha gonfiato le dimensioni di decine o centinaia di miliardi di volte. L???Universo ?? costituito al 70% da energia oscura e al 24% da materia oscura: la materia visibile, cio?? stelle e galassie, rappresenta solo il 6% del totale. Attualmente l???espansione dell???Universo ?? in una fase di nuova accelerazione. L???Universo inflazionario ?? una specula che forse rivela i misteri delle leggi fisiche a piccolissime distanze e altissime energie laddove dovrebbe trovarsi il regno delle superstringhe e della gravit?? quantistica. In questo libro viene ripercorsa la grande avventura del pensiero umano che dalla concezione aristotelica di un mondo statico eterno e in realt?? piccolissimo ?? approdato alla contemporanea visione di un cosmo dinamico e immenso, germogliato per?? da una infinitesima fluttuazione quantistica

TitleCoping with the Complexity of Economics
Author(s)Faggini, Marisa;Lux, Thomas
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2009.
DescriptionXIV, 170 p : online resource
Abstract NoteThe purpose of the science of complexity is to provide, if not a unified approach, at least useful tools to tackling complex problems in various scientific domains. Generally, complexity is considered a fundamental challenge to the reductionist approach in science as a whole and to its ideas of certainty and randomness. The overall behaviour of a complex system is different from and more than the sum of its parts. The behaviour of non-linear complex systems depends on the interaction (often with retroactive effects) among its constituent parts and not so much (or not only) on the characteristics of these parts themselves; the sum of the behaviour of single parts does not necessarily provide us with an explanation of the aggregate behaviour of a system. All this is true for economic systems. These are based on the activities of single economic agents. Each individual can obtain only partial knowledge that is focussed around its "world" (local information) and react to external shocks in different ways (local rationality). The aim of this book is to provide an overview to recent developments in theory and empirical research that view economic systems as complex phenomena whose aggregate dynamics can often not be inferred from its microscopic (microeconomic) building blocks. The collection of papers represented in this volume is dedicated to the memory of Massimo Salzano, who has been a fervent and eloquent advocate of the complexity approach. The contributions have been presented at a conference held to celebrate Massimo???s 60th birthday (Ecople -Economics: From Tradition of Complexity, Capri, 2-4 June, 2006), one year before he unexpectedly passed away in 2007

TitleImminent Science : What Remains to be Discovered
Author(s)Bignami, Giovanni F
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2014.
DescriptionV, 102 p. 2 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteThis is not a piece of science fiction. It???s a voyage along the arrow of time to encounter the discoveries of the coming fifty years. The legendary palindromic character, Mr. Qfwfq, from Italo Calvino???s The Cosmicomics??will go with us: he who knows all the answers, but will give out no hints. He goads imagination onwards and corrects customs by laughing. He will help us discover the innovations that will have changed our lives (and those of our descendants) in 2062, when, riding astride Halley???s comet, our omniscient extraterrestrial will be back to visit us. What is left for us to understand and to explore is 96% of the Universe. There is still a long way to travel, but step by step we shall go deeper and deeper into the study of our Earth in order to exploit, for instance, the immense thermal energy that lies beneath our feet. We shall solve another??enigma??in today???s science, as big as the Big Bang ??? the origin of life ??? also by creating it??ex nihilo.??We shall learn how to build??a??direct contact between our brain (which is made like a three-flavored ice-cream cone) and the rest of the world: had Cicero and Mozart lived tomorrow, they would have been happy with the invention of a USB key??to be??implanted behind their ears, for an immediate transcript of speeches and music. By means of genetics we shall obtain the talents of lizards, which regenerate their lost tails, or of Methuselah flies, which live four times longer than other flies. And shortly before Halley???s 2062 passage, the baby will be born who will see it three times, by living for over 150 years. But the future is made mainly by the appropriate tools, beginning with maths. Solving the problem of prime numbers would send all cash machines off their rocker, thus emptying our bank accounts overnight. The solution to the equation of fluids will teach us how to carry an iceberg from Greenland to Sicily, thus supplying fresh water at a low cost. Meatculture ??? growing steaks ready for the barbecue and produced without killing animals ??? will supply us with all the proteins we need. By studying complex systems, moreover, we shall influence the climate and stabilize the economy, and??in the process??we shall save our planet. Perhaps when Mr. Qfwfq is back on Earth, the perfect truth machine will have uprooted lies from the world. By downloading the contents of our brains onto silicon chips we shall also grant ourselves immortality

TitleIntroduzione al Laboratorio di Fisica : Misure e Teoria delle Incertezze
Author(s)Ciullo, Giuseppe
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2014.
DescriptionXIV, 250 pagg. 39 figg : online resource
Abstract NoteFrutto dell'esperienza decennale come supporto per la didattica di laboratori di fisica sia a livello di corsi triennali che di corsi di laurea magistrale, il libro si ?? concretizzato nella "responsabilit??" di tali corsi di laboratorio per fornire un opera di utilizzo dei vari strumenti, che un approccio sperimentale alla fisica richiede. Si parte dalla descrizione delle problematiche delle incertezze in modo operativo e si introducono i concetti fondamentali per l'analisi dei dati e la misura. Invece di una serie dispersiva di testi, con approcci, convenzioni e simbolismi differenti, poco fruibili per l'applicazione diretta ad un laboratorio dei primi anni, il libro fornisce le indicazioni utili per affrontare lo studio dei fenomeni fisici in modo immediato, fornendo anche indicazioni rigorose e giustificazioni teoriche. Lo stimolo teorico-pratico, che uno sperimentale-scienziato deve percepire, non esula dal comprendere problematiche di maggiore approfondimento. L'opera rende fruibili concetti e strumenti, con giustificazioni intuitive e ove possibile rigorose, comunque forniti in un quadro scientificamente consolidato ed utilizzabili praticamente, come richiesto proprio ad un approccio educativo e formativo utile per lo studio della disciplina scientifica

TitleWe are the Martians : Connecting Cosmology with Biology
Author(s)Bignami, Giovanni F
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2012.
DescriptionXXIII, 128 p. 22 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteWhat frightens you more? Believing you are alone in the universe or rather thinking that there???s someone else out there? ?? Human beings have been asking themselves this question for many thousands of years while looking at the starry sky. Over the past few decades, however, we have moved from imagination to action, exploring the cosmos using new techniques, often with surprising results. Did you know, for instance, that every year many rocks from Mars fall on the Earth? Or that one of our amino acids has been found in the coma of a comet? Or that we now know of thousands of extrasolar planets, some of them similar to our own? ?? There are further exciting and important discoveries around the corner that will cast more light on the great enigma of how life started on Earth. In this intriguing book, one of?? the world???s leading researchers in astrophysics and space science examines fundamental questions concerning life on Earth and the rest of the cosmos in an accessible and stimulating way

TitleUn anno intero sotto il cielo : Guida a 366 notti d???osservazioni
Author(s)Moore, Patrick
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2007.
DescriptionXIII, 369 pagg : online resource
Abstract NoteCi sono 365 notti in un anno (366 se bisestile) e per l???astrofilo non ce ne sono mai due uguali. Il cielo ogni notte propone un suo show che ha per protagonisti migliaia di oggetti come stelle, costellazioni, pianeti, nebulose, da riconoscere uno ad uno, da ammirare e studiare. Sir Patrick Moore ??? celeberrimo conduttore televisivo inglese, astrofilo e divulgatore noto in tutto il mondo ??? ha scritto questo libro per suggerire all???amante del cielo quali oggetti di particolare interesse possono essere osservati in ciascuna diversa notte dell???anno. Vengono proposte mappe stellari di facile interpretazione, mentre il testo tratta di fisica, delle stelle e della loro storia, di sistemi binari, galassie, della Luna e dei pianeti: di tutto ci?? che la volta celeste offre all???astrofilo curioso. Cosa hanno detto della prima edizione NEW SCIENTIST "???ben scritto e pieno di entusiasmo." ASTRONOMY & SPACE "Patrick Moore si ?? ripetuto. Che libro eccellente ?? questo."

TitleLa musica del Big Bang : Come la radiazione cosmica di fondo ci ha svelato i segreti dell???Universo
Author(s)Balbi, Amedeo
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2007.
DescriptionXIII, 217 pagg : online resource
Abstract NoteLa radiazione cosmica di fondo ?? il residuo del grande calore seguito al Big Bang. Un tenue segnale, vecchio di oltre 13 miliardi di anni, in cui si celano le risposte a molte delle domande sulla natura del nostro Universo. Scoperta casualmente nel 1964, negli ultimi quarant???anni questa traccia fossile delle origini del Cosmo ?? stata esplorata con ogni mezzo disponibile. Due premi Nobel per la fisica sono gi?? stati assegnati per ricerche che la riguardano, l???ultimo nel 2006 per i risultati del satellite COBE. Molte delle informazioni codificate nella radiazione cosmica di fondo sono state impresse dal sovrapporsi di onde acustiche presenti nell???Universo primordiale: una "musica" del Big Bang, che i cosmologi hanno tentato per anni di ricostruire, usando tecniche analoghe a quelle che permettono di distinguere il suono di diversi strumenti musicali. Solo di recente le prime note di questa straordinaria sinfonia cosmica sono finalmente state svelate, ma l???indagine non ?? ancora finita. Questo libro illustra, con un linguaggio adatto anche al non specialista, le teorie, le osservazioni e le scoperte che hanno fatto entrare la cosmologia in una nuova era. Amedeo Balbi ?? ricercatore presso il Dipartimento di Fisica dell???Universit?? di Roma Tor Vergata. In passato ha lavorato tra l???altro all???Universit?? di Berkeley in California con George Smoot (premio Nobel 2006 per la fisica). Tra le sue attivit?? attuali c????? la partecipazione alla missione spaziale Planck dell???ESA

TitleAn introduction to relativistic processes and the standard model of electroweak interactions
Author(s)Becchi, Carlo M;Ridolfi, Giovanni
PublicationMilano, Springer Milan, 2006.
DescriptionVIII, 139 p : online resource
Abstract NoteThese notes are designed as a guide-line for a course in Elementary Particle Physics for undergraduate students. The purpose is providing a rigorous and self-contained presentation of the theoretical framework and of the phenomenological aspects of the physics of interactions among fundamental constituents of matter. The first part of the volume is devoted to the description of scattering processes in the context of relativistic quantum field theory. The use of the semi-classical approximation allows us to illustrate the relevant computation techniques in a reasonably small amount of space. Our approach to relativistic processes is original in many respects. The second part contains a detailed description of the construction of the standard model of electroweak interactions, with special attention to the mechanism of particle mass generation. The extension of the standard model to include neutrino masses is also described. We have included a number of detailed computations of cross sections and decay rates of pedagogical and phenomenological relevance
